  1. I agree but if you are looking for a MH get a M. These rods are quite stiff.
  2. Great action wacky rigged but they easily get tore up.
  3. As I have the best success with Zoom Brush Hogs that's my choice.
  4. Body shape maybe but not the bill.
  5. I do not see a probelm with this at all.
  6. I have the Topwater Rod. 6'8" Med Fast. It doubles perfectly for light jigs. Has good sensitivity and is light. Hard to compare with a G Loomis the blanks are so much different. Very strong, landed a 18 lb Asian Carp first time I used it fishing for smallies on the Illinois River. I was afraid it would break. If you ever hooked into one you would know what I mean. The rod perfomed flawlessly.
  7. I had great success using the skirtless Booyah Football Head Jigs with a Brush Hog working around docks last year. Used 1/4 oz head. Tore free the legs and split the tail. It slowed the fall with a flapping action. Also worked well on steep banks.
  8. I do not have it in front of me but I thought the Bass Pro and Cabelas catalogs had new colors listed. Maybe they were exclusive to them.
  9. You made a very generous offer, most folks would not. We need more like you. I would not have taken it back either, your honesty needed rewarded. This is what I like about this forum.
  10. Carry 8 own 36, you should see my wifes purses that lady is a sicko.
  11. No, but the increase of leverage will increase power. Gear ratio will remain the same.
  12. It is said that SHimanos do not require lubrication out of the box. I have found that the spinning reels are somewhat dry. A few drops in the port should not hurt. Enjoy, in my opinion the Stradic is a sweet reel.
  13. I agree with RW. It seems that you have to constantly adjust. I do not think it is just one manufacturer. I have used Browning, Revo STX and Quantum with the same result. It seems Daiwa is a bit better. Centrifugal is best for me.
  14. That's my favorite part. Consider yourself very lucky. I can't think of too many men who fish with their wives. Mine is happy to get rid of me.
  15. Ya gotta love her.
  16. Not really brand loyal what makes a differnce to me is fit and function. I do prefer certain brands for techniques. For instance, my favorite small crankbait set up is a Shimano Curado 100D paired on St Croix Avid Cranking Rod Med Moderate. Whereas my favorite jig set up is a G Loomis Mossyback Rigging Rod paired with a Revo STX.
  17. Can not speak for the Premier. But I own a STX and Zillion. For castability Zillion hands down. For drag strength Revo hands down. I suppose you need to decide what you may use it for.
  18. I wonder what the odds are in Vegas that he will actually retire this time? Maybe a bet is in line.
  19. I also tried the marina both by phone and email.I am interested in a slip. If anyone gets in touch let us know.
  20. Guys here you go below sums it up, this is the best advice I ever heard. Nine Words Used By Women (1) Fine:This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. (2) Five Minutes:If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. (3) Nothing:This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine. (4) Go Ahead:This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It! (5) Loud Sigh:This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.) (6) That's Okay:This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. (7) Thanks:A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever'). (8) Whatever:Is a woman's way of saying F___YOU! (9) Don't worry about it, I got it:Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3. :D
  21. Get them use them, something about the different shape. They are deadly at Braidwood.
  22. Love them!!!!!!!
