Thats pretty funny yet interesting. Never heard of that happening before. Sorry you are out 40 bucks

Gloomis Mag Bass GLX Casting 844C 7' Heavy But out of your price range, but I think it is a great Jig Rod If not, I would say for your price range the Veritas Rods are good.

on my 7'6 pitichin stick, I use about 8 feet of flouro leader

Absolutely B E A uutiful!

Congrats on your bundle of joy, hope mom and baby are great!

vicious line is OK, and I mean that loosely. It has a lot of memory.

Sunline FC Sniper 7# It is what I like and use, but it is expensive.

Classic! At least she has a story to tell as well, however she tells it

I agree!

Great start I would say

Good Times, Kent! What'd ya whack em on?

Yes fine to ask. Yes fine to split all costs. Maybe if you want to cover the one time registration for him as a good gesture of using his boat, then everything else should be split. For being an actual co-angler here are two good articles: http://www.flwoutdoors.com/fishing-articles/co-angler-clinic/140596/packing-a-manageable-amount-of-tackle/ http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/co-angler_clinic.html

I use a rubber pegging strip a long with a bobber stopper

What is that? I've found a good fit with the 2/0 Gammy Finesse Wide Gap hook. The shape of this hook really causes it to find it's mark in the fishes jaw. Sometimes, all you have to do is tighten the line after the cast to see if you can feel anything, and you end up hooking the fish just by doing that. Its called a moto hook, hand tied 50# mono guard, which you can also cut in half to make a V shaped guard. They are Gammy hooks in 1/0, 2/0, and 3/0 sizes. Very sturdy hooks. If you want the site to get them at PM me, because BR won't let me post the site. Its 3.99 for a pack of 4. If anyone wants I can pick some up for you, you can paypal me, and I ship it. Save you guys some money. They sell them on tackle warehouse. http://www.***.com/Moto_Hook_Weedless_Wacky_Hook_4_pack/descpage-MHWW.html Indeed they do! Must have been added recently. Cause the guy local to me actually makes them.
