Where did you find this bargain. Forget about the wife. Bass Magic swimbaits are identical to Strike King Shadalicious, except not the same colors. I love them both. My favorite pre-spawn bait for prowling spawning grounds and deeper water surrounding them. 4.5" has been magic for me. I boil them for 10 seconds. Tends to straighten them out, soften them up a little, and remove most of the plastic smell. Don't forget to dip the tails in JJ's Magic.

Wuss. 8" of snow won't even raise an eybrow here in Chicago. We just got nailed with 2 feet followed by another 6" and nothing stopped. Slowed down maybe. Somehow I don't feel too sorry for you guys down there when it snows.

By your comments, you have obviously never played any competitive sports. Once it's in your blood, you can't get it out- playing or watching. I've played or coached sports my whole life. You learn teamwork, cooperation, leadership, and the pride of a job well done and earned. I recently played in a slowpitch baseball tournament at my son's college for a fundraiser. Although I ran out of breath trying to stretch a single into a double, I would not have traded the experience for anything. I was hurting and exhausted after 3 games but I felt like a kid again. We took the coaches team- all recent graduates, into a sudden death playoff and lost 2-1 in the championship game. Our team was my son and his roommate, both freshman, and a few of the varsity players from his high school team, and myself and 1 other dad. I was proud that we took out 2 of the favorites and took the winner to a playoff. Sad you will never get to feel any of those type of feelings, like winning tournaments, regionals, conference titles, and your son being named all-conference. I guess there's always ballet- They wear tights, don't they? ;D

Black Eyed peas were horrible. Strictly a studio "group" AKA Backstreet Boys or that other boy band I forget. Slash saved them for a couple minutes, but otherwise, stick to the studio or dub in the sound like Milli Vanilli. P.U. Sad state of the music industry today when this is one of the hottest groups out there. Do they play any instruments? Worst halftime I have seen.

X2 on Bud. He was a tremendous source of info last time. CJ and Big-O were also my go-to sources. Speed- Chicken round 2?? I'll help out(cooking and eating).

Yeah but it hasn't been the same around here lately without his witty and insightful comments and responses. (always fact based) Happy Birthday you ugly old cuss!

Yo-Zuri Hybrid Trilene Big Game Power Pro BPS Flouro

How old do I look? 53

Now I'm just plain jealous!

Thanks Wayne- Great info. I was leaning toward the Bird. Love to hear from anyone who has used either. Both are pretty new. jeremyt- Did you get the HD unit with Side Imaging? Not sure you'll be using fish I.D. much. Wish I could afford that unit.

Alright, I know everyone has their favorite brand, but these 2 units are priced the same and look to have very similar features and capabilities. Not sure if Lowrance comes with transducer. Not asking which you prefer but honest review if you have either one. Thanks.

Overgrown and matted over Milfoil. Throw a frog and hang on! If it isn't laid over, throw a Rage Shad.

3 hrs yesterday to dig out of drifts up to 5 feet high. And for what? So I can got to work today? Yuchhh. Should have stayed in bed. One of my wife's friends was stuck on L.S.D. and spent the night at a local hospital. Living close to work does have it's advantages.

Achilles Last Stand Thank You

Find out who does his hair! ;D Pretty soon you'll be saying "slobosaurus" like his pal.

Great bait for skipping under docks and boats. I have a couple BPS extremes I got on sale for $69.00 Love 'em.

Cut off the tag, get some heat shrink tubing and slowly (so you don't melt the plastic) heat the shrinktube on the end. Might save some $$$ if you buy a bunch. Or make your own: http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-6580BLU/Netting/1-2-x-164-Blue-Protective-Netting?model=S-6580BLU&RootChecked=yes&backbuttonreloadme=Y

WTG! Beats sitting around waiting for 2 feet of snow to fall. Gotta get some of those "favorite color" craws.

Anyone else get kicked off after hitting submit???

After May, it's too hot to fish in Florida and the ice is just letting out up here. Home field advantage. ;D Count me in.

Gillraker worms. BPS double blade buzzers without the clacker.

Been out of it for a while but I have heard Cradle of Filth. I'll stick with Motorhead. Oldschool.

We're starting to see the beginnings of it here in Chicago. Might be sick tomorrow.

Urban Rednecks. I wonder how many days it took to compose that Anyway, I hope they beat the cheeseheads from Green Bay.

Careful Kelley. Don't want anyone thinking you're a stalker! ;D Lookin' good Deb.
