Alright fellas. Christmas is approaching fast and rather than wait until December, I like to get presents bought a little early to avoid the crazy holiday freaks. I also start buying early so I dont have to drop hundreds at a time. 50 here or 100 there over 3 months makes my wallet happier. My stepdad loves a glass of bourbon or tequila on the weekends and he usually drinks JD or 1800. I want to get a quality beverage and that is where yall come in. Im looking to spend about 100$ on a bottle of some good stuff. What do you guys recommend?

Not sure if Shimano interests you but the Clarus is a bit under 100$ and the 6'8" M/XF is a true M IMO. I just recently broke the tip off of mine (My fault, not the rods). I will definitely replace when i have the cash. Good luck!

Im just curious why?Same as my MH, just my smaller lures.I dont flip or fish heavy cover with it though. Spinnerbaits 1/4 & 3/8 oz. 1/4 & 3/8 swim jigs. light t rigged plastics. I dont throw any trebles over 1/2 oz so all of my cranks lipless or billed get tossed on my M as well. I actually like the feel of my M rod over all others BUT nothing beats flipping a 1/2 NSCB Jig n Rage plastic with my MH!

Pfleuger President is all you need. Buy it and dont look back. Spend the rest on tackle!

Awesome.

Yo zuri is king in my book.

I understand the sagging pants, but the expressions seem harmless to me. To each his own. Y'all just dont understand. Anyways, I'll holler at you later. Im fixin' to make me a snack and hit the sack.

Y'all is used in my vocabulary all day long. So is aint. just about anything that ends in a g is dropped. Like walkin' or cookin' or runnin'. When someone goes somewhere it is always down here or down there. Regardless of the actual direction they traveled. I love TEXAS!

You cannot be serious......I got a sign for the Dumb#&% who decided it was "inappropriate"....

DVT hit it on the head. 3 is all you need to start with. I fish with my father in law so space is limited in the boat between both of our tackle and setups so we bring 3 a piece. I use a 7MH/F for jigs and heavy t rigs. 7ft M/ MOD F for all trebles since I dont really deep crank this will handle my lipless cranks and squarebills. lastly is my only spinning setup and I dont use it very often but if im going to throw something light I use my 7 M/F spinning combo. With those 3 you can do just about anything. Like previously mentioned though, once you get going you will become accustomed to certain lures or presentations and you can buy accordingly from there. Good luck and try not to over think it. That is a common problem when entering a never ending money sucking habit like fishing!

So this spot i have been hitting during the summer has 2 Nutria swimming around. For some reason I thought they were swamp creatures in the Louisiana area, didnt think they got over here. I thought it was a beaver at first until it swam basically right up to my feet and backstroked away like it wasnt even scared of me. My question is, are Nutria problematic to the fishery? Im assuming they eat fish?.......

I second everyone elses opinions and will also add any rod shimano makes from the sellus up to the compre are all quality rods. I would go for the vendetta on sale and spend the rest on tackle!

Kvd has a video on YouTube about spinnerbaiting and in the video he talks about how confident he is and how he really feels it gets him more strikes. The video is more than a few years old if that has any significance, I don't know. Personally I think it's laughable. I buy bleeding Shad baits, but not for the red hooks.

I just ordered some in bull gill and Tennessee Shad since those are common prey in my neck of the Woods. I use rage tail grubs and rage tail menace for trailers but the options are endless. I night 1/4 and 3/8 oz to start with and will buy more accordingly after I get some positive results. Good luck!

Jig and rage craw in green pumpkin or some variation. 1/2 oz red eye Shad bleeding bait it Tennessee Shad. 3/8 oz spinnerbait white and chartreuse. If I'm going for numbers though I would probably eliminate the red eye Shad and add a smoke pearl with purple flake 5” Senko wacky rigged.

I would be willing to be they are only looking for a felony conviction. If they confront you about it, be honest. You have nothing to worry about.

What appeals to one buyer is different than another. Maybe the Pinnacle name itself? Im not too familiar with Their reels but I dont think they have consistently put out quality products. Maybe most people already have their mind made up about Pinnacle and dont feel they are adequate reels? I really dont know, just my perspective. Maybe its a Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge type deal? Im sure you will be able to purchase lews products at BPS before long.

Dallas huh? I knew the background looked familiar!!! I am almost positive i know where that is.

Clayton if you move down here I will personally put you on some wild hogs. my buddy owns some land about about an hour and ahalf west of here and there are plenty of choices to hunt out there. North East of me about 3hours is hog heaven. My brother goes out there quite often and loves it. Ihavent been in a year or so though.

True shaolin ninja death punch. Wonder if that was real.......that was a long reaction. Pretty d**n funny though LOL

Weeds and spinnerbaits are like pb&J. Go to the search bar in the top right corner and search spinnerbaits. You will find everything you need to know and then some. Good luck!!

I am about to head to The Texas/ OK border for work in about an hour......Nah i dont feel like driving up to edmond lol. Seriously though, Academy is always having sales. Not too long ago they had the super spots on sale for 99 cents each and the SK Red Eye Shad for 1.99$. I think i spent 40 bucks and bought almost all of them.

Man you too? I got a NIB Pro Max also for 41 dollars shipped off Ebay. I have had my silver max for a while and despite all the Curado owners negative talk about what its made of and its durability, it has not given me one problem. I love it and would recommend it to anyone who was looking in the price range.
