Without a doubt. BPS sells Rapala HJ10's for 5.99. DSG's price 5.99. 20% off the DSG price, good deal! BPS sells DT's for 6.19, DSG's 6.59. 20% off the DSG price makes it a buck cheaper than BPS. I'll be hitting BPS tonight to see if they have the same sale!

The Dick's by me is on average around 10 to 20 cents higher than the BPS so 20% off of $7 is still saving a LOT per lure.

Just in case anyone has any spare X-mas money burning a hole in their pockets, the Dick's near my work has 20% off all Rapala, Berkley, Strike King, and Yum (or Zoom can't remember for sure) lures. Also, all clearence fishing tackle is an extra 25% off.

Line twist is more of a result of the lures used than the line used. Worms twist coming through the water which twists your line which causes problems on spinning gear. I don't think a line change is going to affect your line twist problems.

Ahh steak. A little (well hopefully not too little) slice of heaven on a plate. My favorites are dependant upon the type of steak I want. Filet is Smith and Wollensky New York Strip is the Chicago Chop House Prime Rib is Lawry's If I just want to absolutely gorge myself on excellent meat it is Fogo de Chao. Morton's and Ruth's Chris are also very good for a group of people who have differing favorites.

Must be nice to be Moss and push off and then get pass interference called on the other guy!

Don't really want to get into it here as bassresource isn't the proper message board for it, but everyone needs to take a hard look at what America's ideals are and what they should be worth before casually tossing your opinion about. And from a history standpoint, "civilized warfare" has never existed. That is unless you count wars prior to the American Revolution where the soldiers just stood in a big line and shot at the other line of soldiers.

It's actually easier than one would expect. It probably only takes about 5 hours of work over a 4 week period to make a batch. I make 5 gallons (2 cases) at a time and end up giving some away from each batch because I only drink about a beer a night. Next year I plan on moving to kegging my own beer. 8-)

Jordan lost me in the WOT series. He drug it on for far too long, too many characters, too many sub-plots. Goodkind's series is now the same way. I like George RR Martin's series too. For the typical fantasy books Salvatore is the best. His books are like candy though, no real substance to them. Jeff Shaara's books on the various American wars are very good. I'm currently reading the WW1 book. Jack Whyte's books on the fall of the Roman empire in Britain and the rise of King Arthur were good. A fantasy story based on real history. I like those the best. I can learn something while being entertained. Grisham is also good light reading. I have many more authors that I like. I read too much growing up but now I don't have the time to read as much as I would like.

SA's Cranberry "Lambic"? That stuff is NOT good.

Beer or wine, but mainly beer. I've been trying many different styles and found that I like porters the best. I also, brew my own so that makes it easy to get the fresh stuff!

Have you been to Boscos in Memphis? That place has some high quality beers brewed on site, really good food too. http://www.boscosbeer.com/memphis/story/index.htm

What I don't understand is why anyone would want someone to coach for their team after they have shown that they can not even be trusted to complete a freaking season!

It looks to me like the jig x has a hole through the jig head that you feed the line through and then tie the line to the back of the head. Look at the white one. You can see a circle at the back end of the jig head. You can see it on the Pumpkin one too. Seems like it would cut through grass much easier this way. Pretty innovative. The Jungle Jig has the eye at the front of the jighead.

:-? That's about all I can say about that! :-?

I never really understood this one. Try finding phone in the dictionary if you are trying to spell it phonetically (there's another one).

I'm only 30 and don't know half of it. Most of Fishtank's I have no idea. Just a sample LOL - laugh out loud ROFL - rolling on floor laughing AFAIK - as far as I know TMI or 2MI - too much information IDK - I don't know

Check your username lately? ;)

$50 off the curado $30 off the citica $20 off the cruxis Are they overstocked on them all! ;D

I was simply trying to make sure that people were aware of this to attempt to salvage some of the people's money. The airlines don't exactly publish this information.

Not to defend BASS here or anything, I just want to maybe provide a travel tip. The non-transferrable tickets should be able to be used for another flight. United has a $100 fee to use the value of that ticket on another ticket if booked within one year of the travel date of the original ticket. Confusing enough? So, if someone had a $400 non-transferrable ticket that value could be used to "purchase" a different $400 ticket for $100. Still sucks big time, but they may be able to get some use out of that money.

The articles here are very helpful. They are what I used in determining which rods I wanted to buy first. Here's a good one to start. http://www.bassresource.com/beginner/bass_fishing_rods.html

Just short jerks to make the bait pop. Then pause. Then jerk again. Really simple to work and catches loads of fish. Vary the length of the jerk to make the pop more or less aggressive depending upon the mood of the fish that day. As with most topwater lures my fav color is black.

And who is this "you" that he is speaking of? I haven't seen anyone say that smoking should be banned. :-?

That's fine with me, you're free to have any opinion that you wish. Just as I am to wish that my dad would listen to his doctor so that he would have the best chance possible of living to watch his own children grow up (2 are still in school) and get married and be there to know his grandchildren. My grandpa (his dad) died of a heart attack before he was even 60. He missed seeing many of his grandchildren and even some of his own children grow up. Just want to add that my dad is only 54.
