Fat-G

Wow, little bit of everything there. Quantum, Abu Garcia, Shimano, Pflueger, Daiwa. Did I miss any?? And they all play together nicely...haven't caught the Shimanos or Daiwas picking on the Pfluegers or Quantums once ;D ;D The top spinning reel is an Okuma and the round reel on top is a BPS Pro Qualifier I need to....still chipping away at the 20 or so spools of CXX I bought from walmart a few years back when they clearanced it for $2-3 a piece. I also have a tendency to try different lines that I find onsale, I'd say the there are probably 6-7 different lines in that picture....CXX, CX, Floroclear, McCoy FC, Yo-Zuri Hybrid, Suffix Seige, Elite, Berkley Fireline Braid, BPS Excel, XPS FC, Seaguar Red Label, Stren Super Braid....OK...I was off by a few WOW I like that collection alot! How do the Sol's compare to a Curado?

There's too many good $100 rods nowadays. I say $150 reel, $100 rod.

Those are really cool spinning reels! How do you like the 50e?

Sweet Jesus David. Hahaha nice man. I really want a Champion!

Here's my little collection. Next I want to add a Dobyns flippin' stick, reel is still TBD.

I totally agree. Ever big fish I currently remember catching I didn't even fell the bite, I just went to work the bait and it wasn't there. Here is a good example. I also noticed that big fish (in ponds at least) pick up the bait and immediately start swimming to deeper water.

Flip the matts.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! Are you joking me...?

Spend the extra money and get the Cumara! I've heard some not-so-good things about the Verdict, which is why I got a Cumara.

I kinda doubt that would happen.........notice the big mouth,yet skinny body of his fish. The fish had some age to it ( big mouth,and eyes) however the girth just doesnt match it's length,due to the effects of the tumor..........my "W.A.G." I agree. Thatr fish wasn't very healthy. It had an identical bump on the other side of the spine adjacent to the visible one. It looked like it had huge delts.

Both. Spring through summer.

It's basically just like a birth mark. Now if someone could explain this, I would be impressed.

I really like the 832. I've used PP for way too long and love the heck out of it, but I think I like the 832 more. It's a little light colored though, just get a Vicious Braid Dye marker.

what does it flat out suck for? No doubt I would use fluoro over braid in certain situations, but I have yet to find a set up that braid "sucks" at. Freezing air temps Concrete and or steel structure Zebra/quagga mussels Coontail on certain lakes - has zebes growing on it Deep smallie fishing. You simply get more bites on fluoro. Pretty much any treble hooked bait. And catfishing in a rocky river. Never do that. That's where P-Line CXX is put to use.

I fish a pond VERY similar to the one you are describing. I love the pond. I've caught a lot of really good fish from it, and learned alot about fishing a pond with those characteristics. The most productive presentation for me is swimming a Rage Craw, Space Monkey, or Smokin' Rooster on a keel-weighted hook. Experiment with different retrieves. Another is a topwater frog. They can be fished a variety of different ways. Hollow body swimbaits work well too. PM me with any other questions and I'll gladly go into more detail.

Have you called BPS or visited their parts center? I believe they're relatively cheap iirc. I'll probably have to go to the Richmond BPS. I just want one for my Citica, since I fell and bent the stock handle. Plus it would look cool.

I want a couple of those Carbonlite handles.

I was thinking the same thing. Always nice to look at tackle porn. Especially your stuff!

Family friend. I would just learn as I went I guess.

WOW. That is amazing.

Sheesh, these guys make some good stuff. Colder Weather is a really awesome song! The girl in Sugarland has some serious pipes too.

What Daiwa reel? I haven't felt a bad one yet, although i've never touched a steez. I like the Advantage HSTA frame and the Zillion frame the most though. Where do you get all of these reels? Do you have a really high paying job for a 15 year old? Just curious. I don't own them, but I have fished my Uncle's HSTA and he recently purchased a Zillion he let me use for about an hour. I should start my job though mid way through this month if all goes right. 8-) Where are you gonna work? I have an internship with the DGIF this summer, and I'll probably work at Green Top or an air conditioning company locally. They pay $17 an hour. ;D

"A-Are you going to shoot me too?" "That depends, do you see me?"

Denzel Washington, Matt Damon, list goes on. I've seen some really good movies lately, too. No Country for Old Men Inside Man The Hurt Locker The Book of Eli And more I can't think of right now. I really loved No Country for Old Men.
