Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard, Brian!

Good golly! Those are HUGE! Congrats!

Agree with Jax (Sacksonville) D. That's a top D, and I am pleased the Bills hung with them for most of the game. Not sure the Titans will go past Pats. But its anyone's to win. Wouldn't shed a tear if Pats lose to Titans or victor of Steelers/Jax.

Yeah, it's really good strength-to-diameter ratio. I've been very impressed with it so far in 6, 8, and 10.

Yeah, I wouldn't count Philly out with Foles... That said, it's a very tough NFC mix with Eagles, Vikes, and Saints in the mix. Maybe Falcons will surprise, as well. AFC? Pats or Steelers. Can't see anyone else making it to the final game.

Welcome aboard! I can only speak to what I've used, thus for me, Gamma Edge. Have used Red Label, BPS, and some Berkeley ...

Dude, I had to reread this a couple times. I kept adding an "n" into "togue". Couldn't figure what the heck fishing for "tongue" is. Or I actually was gonna say if you were fishing for that, you might need some help, LOL No, never heard of or fished for togue. Sorry

Yeah...about that. I have zero confidence in Peterman... But the talking heads think he'll either be the starter or on the roster in 2018... Oi vey.

With the Bills loss to Sacksonville, I believe today was the last we'll see of Tyrod in a Bills uni. Time will tell, though, but I think the writing is on the wall. Bortles scrambled like a mad man, and we weren't ready for him to do that. So it seemed. Our D was solid for a good portion of the game. C'est la vie. Hoping we don't cross-grade to Alex Smith. Doubt Brees would go to cold Buffalo from balmy NO. Don't really see a vet to lead. I see ESPN is split between Brees and Bradford with a first round QB draft. Heck, we'll see. Gonna be a fun ride watching some great teams in the playoffs the rest of the way.

Welcome aboard, fellow Virginian!

PP orig, and SS8 in yellow for visibility. Prefer PP8 these days, and I've got a large spool of it. Braid is expensive so I stick with what I like. Haven't tried 832, but have tried a number of other brands including Sufix Performance Braid, TufLine, Spiderwire, Fireline, etc. PP SS8 is my fav of all.

I can swim. All my sons have been on/are on swim teams. 2 of 4 are life guards, and guard at the Coast Guard base locally. We still always wear PFDs in our kayaks at all times. On boats, it is more nuanced.

Holy smokes, that's funny! Colin Ross!!

Heck, you could use a stick and some line tied to the end if you wanted. In my quest to go all-and-only baitcasting a couple/few years back, I found I could easily do nearly everything on a BC that I could do on spinning gear. Yes, the lighter drops you do have peel line off with a BC. For that, spinning is better. Really light baits go further, usually, with spinning gear (unless you're tuned and have the right rod on BC). But my quest ended with me realizing spinning was simply easier. Wind, backlashes, skipping, etc., are the domain of spinning gear -- NOT that you canNOT do it with BC, but me, I find it easier and less prone to day-wrecking headaches.

Welcome aboard, Michael! 1969. A great year!

A 1000 would be just fine with braid + leader. 10# or 15# braid with leaders from 4-15#. My usual leader sizes are 6, 8, and 10# either Yo Zuri Hybrid or Gamma Edge FC. Honestly, I've *never* even been close to being spooled even after a LOT of bass over 6 pounds, hard fighting striper, etc. 1000 size Stradics are all I use. 2000, 2500, 3000 are all fine, too, especially if you use a longer rod and want better balance. I just prefer smaller and lighter setups (and shorter rods). @roadwarrior (correct me if I'm wrong), uses straight fluoro on his 1000 Stella.

While I've not been out recently on fresh water, I can say the weeds were scaling back in November. Methinks there'd be little out there. Only possibility is the small side of Harwood's Mill Reservoir. If roads are better tomorrow I might could pass by and give it a check. I'd be interested in testing, if I have some water that meets the weedy criteria.

Welcome aboard, JT!

Yeah...this can be seen as rather questionable, especially with some play callers in the NFL right now they passed on...hope that McBeane will have a great draft this year.

Longer yaks will tend toward a truer tracking line, and often a little more speed.

No joke on that. Would have been a potent mixture. I wish we'd have kept Schwartz, but with D coach Rex...

This is so right. And right now, I want a new Offensive Coordinator. Dennison wasn't McD's first choice, and I understand why after this season. Even tho we made playoffs. I'd take Chan Gailey again over Dennison. He would have taylored the offense to TT...

Go Bills! Woooo!

Welcome aboard, Zak!
