Welcome aboard, Michael! I'd hunt on ebay for Daiwa Exceler reels in your price range. I used to have a Lexa and the Exceler is almost identical, but less expensive.

Welcome aboard, Chris! That bass needs a meal! Good size head on it, but a wee thin in the rest.

If you are talking the VMC hooks with the wire weedguard, no. Hate 'em. I much prefer a stiffer plastic/mono weedguard for the weedless hook variety. I now make my own weedless hooks.

Actually that's a pretty good breakdown. Why is there no love for poor ol' Jar Jar!? LOL

She's a cutie!

Welcome aboard!

I'll agree with surface lures. Most fun I've had is with a frog and a jitterbug.

I would tend to agree. I've not been a fan of Russ Brandon but I have liked some of the things Whaley has done... But I read a Buffalo News article last night that A. Lynn is most likely Doug's candidate because Doug wants control of the roster and unlikely that any other candidate will want to cede that. So with that in mind, it may be a good thing for Pegs to clean house and start fresh. But what do I know...I've only loved this team since I was a kid. Went to a few of their games in the early 90s including an AFC Championship. I'm just a fan not a manager.

Saw it with the family. Enjoyed it very much. In the pantheon of Star Wars films It is definitely in the top 3 5. It sets the stage quite well... What I want to see is movies that go back to the Old Republic times when Jedi and Sith were more plentiful and powerful I also like the Clone Wars cartoons and think there could be some exploits of Mace Windu, Obi Wan and others put to film.

Take yer pick of what popular lure I've never used!!!! Plenty of them, LOL. Gimme a good wacky rig or a good drop shot and I'll be just fine

Sigh...dunno about that GM. With current situation, he is in power and likely will ruin certain coaching candidates...

Austin, in all honesty, it is a matter of what works for me and what works well. Spinning works in almost every situation where casting does not. My Chronarch 50e is quite capable of light lure casting as well as in wind... But when it comes to skipping under docks, bridges, trees (quite frequent), it does not suffice. Spinning gear is far more versatile, IMO. You can't go wrong learning casting gear, but if you are sufficient and catching fish with spinning gear, there is no need to change what works.... All this is in my humble opinion

Spinning predominately for me. I've even sold all but one of my formerly frequently used casting reels. My sons use two of my old Accurists, and one uses my Lexa. Me, I use 4 Shimano Stradic 1000 spinning reels and one Chronarch 50e setup.

Excluding Senkos and similar, it'd have to be the Zoom Finesse and Zoom Trick worms.

Fans can be merciless: https://twitter.com/danfetes/status/813847481809301504/video/1 Not so sure the "crying Jordan" meme applies here...

Dunno what I feel about him. I know he was brought in last Spring as possible consultation but things didn't work out. Maybe it will this time. Who knows....

I'll go with whatever bites. But I do love going after bluegill and kin with long poles (no reel). They are a blast to catch.

We did indeed! Merry C back to ya Boys have been in their hammocks in our back yard every day it hasn't rained since Christmas.

From what I've been reading, that's the case. I wouldn't be too put out with that...

Unsure about that.

Indeed. He'd not know what to do with McCoy, LOL. I like Taylor, too. I hope the next coach knows how to get the best out of him. I understand the business decision to bench him this weekend, but not happy about it. I'd like to see him stay with the team and a QB whisperer (whoever that may be).

Yeah, not sure the college style of Chip Kelly has its place in the NFL -- today's NFL, that is. And I DO NOT want him considered for the Bill's top job!! PLEASE NO!!! Harbaugh wants to stay in control of recruiting and the college way for now. Can't see him leaving. My best guess is we'll see hiring of a top coordinator be it Anthony Lynn, Patricia, or other...

Welcome aboard!

I think that argument could apply to the Pegulas. Learning quickly from a mistake hire. A failure they will hopefully learn from....
