If I did that I'd be an eater or a sleeper...

What is intill? It's Wiscy for "when"

The problem I'm having is finding a left handed rod...plenty of righties out there, but they might as well be unicorn horns.

This is also false. I want that training to start in utero. Birth is too late to expose the fetus to the find arts. Even in the womb that fetus can learn the different tapers and be indoctrinated into the joy of fine cork.

While I have found this to be very true, I have found some very serviceable rods in the $7-$42 price range. They may not do anything well, but they do hurt less when I snap them boat flipping dinks. Which is all I catch. If I catch anything. Ever.

What kind of boat is it? I don't want anything that's touched a Triton.

Totally just clicked a real thread in the Fishing a Tackle forum thinking it was this one....

I've see those North Korea models. Word on the street is that they're not very accurate and cast jus splash down. Also heard someone caught five world records in a day on them, may have been that Kim Jong guy. Must be why his name's on it.

I heard the shima"no fish" rods were junk, so I don't want one. What's a good Shakespeare, berkley or Jerry Garcia rod in that range? Maybe a Loomis, but I hate the GL2s even though I've never fished them. I've got $106.85 now after looking in my car.

I've had the Spider-man, but setting the hook in the grass really was a chore. Plus the line was kinda sticky. Also, I found $3.75 and some coupons that have so small cash value, so the budget has opened up a bit...

Trying to help a brother out...

. The cubs will not win a world series intill you die. That's more of a statement of fact than a threat.

Btw... I mostly fish 1/16th oz inline spinners, t-rigged beasts weightless in heavy cover, and swimbaits. I intend to use braid, on a Citica B with upgraded spool, handle, and a sweet set of knobs.

Anything but Shesamano...whatcha got?

That's a pretty fish. Clear water?

Either cook it slowly in something sweet (dr pepper, ginger ale, job and soy sauce) or grill it rare. You could also put them snugly in a pot, add enough duck fat/butter/lard/etc to cover, and cook at around 200 degrees for a few hours. Shred that, quick hit on a griddle or hot pan just to crisp it up and off you go for tacos, omelets, etc. it's confit, and it works really really well for stuff like that and keeps for a few weeks if you leave it in the cooking fat in the fridge.

Shinah!

Uh....you should jump all over that Calcutta if you have the $80,

The C3s are probably your best bet, with a Cardiff close behind. The 100-sized Cardiff is a great little reel, as is the 200. Both are very easy to lube as well.

I'm voting for "This Thread's 10-7"

I think using bass for bait is illegal in IL...

I'll even pay shipping.

Ummm.....I'll give you $20 for them...double your money?

Cabelas Carbonlite has served me well.

Go big or go home, that is all. Big baits around big cover, and get them away from that cover quickly.
