    Uni-to-Uni or Alberto/Mod'd Albright. Easy to tie once you get used to it.

    Bubblegum. Merthiolate is a little more red....
  3. Darren.
    Worth it? Yes. Great line. I use 4#, 6#, 8#, and 15# in green (as leader).
  4. Darren.
    Well there ya go! Nice dig up. Cautionary tale, to be sure.

    Is there any way you can contact eBay Motors and have them verify the condition of the boat? Just shooting in the dark here...don't know if it is realistic to contact them or not.

    Wow. Agree with DogBone, but there have been those gems on eBay where there's a divorce or something and the wife sells the ex's toys at wicked discounts in a move of spite against him/her.

    Nicely done! And speaking of done. I'm done with your jealousy-inducing posts!! Just kidding...

    Wish he was still around! Last I saw he was out of fishing and into car audio systems... Hey @Fish Chris! Come back! Been too long since your last visit

    Agreed. You can use spinning for everything bass if it is what you want to do. At least one pro uses only spinning gear: http://www.flwfishing.com/tips/2014-04-22-going-big-with-a-spinning-rod

    I use both, and I did try to do everything with a BC, but the experiment, while quite successful, proved *for me* that the wind and light lures are not best suited for BC'ing. So I always have a spinning rod with me, and, in fact use it more than my baitcasting setup these days.

    Welcome aboard, Trevor! @roadwarrior 's post above is a great place to start as we see a lot of "what's the best rod" type of threads on a weekly basis. Good luck in your search!

    Agree with much here. @anthonyfip you hit a key thought when you said "but feel that I don't really need to". Listen to your inner voice. I've bought cheap, and I've bought expensive. Sure I love the expensive rod, it is far more "crisp" than anything else I own. But I went with it because I wanted to. I didn't need to. In fact, that money spent could have been better spent elsewhere... As as been warned, it can be an endless chase for "the one". @billjaco Nice first post. Welcome aboard!

    Awesome! Just putting fish in the boat is fun enough!
  14. Darren.
    LOL. Heh. Happened to me with another brand. The fish I weighed was pounds lighter than it should have been... Stupid thing was set for KGs... Heh.

    Us vertically challenged guys get no respect!
  18. Darren.
    Yeah, no. Those chips are more trouble than they're worth, IMO...
  19. Darren.
    Good catch!
  20. Darren.
    Niiice catch!!

    Great day, indeed! Nice bass she's holding there.
  22. Darren.
    *Really* nice work, man. They look sweet!
  23. Darren.
    Line management. In my experience, it is far better than using straight fluoro, mono, etc.
  24. Darren.
    In my opinion, yes, but not necessarily why you think. Braid is expensive and I prefer to not keep cutting down on it retying hooks and such during an outing. So a leader allows you to save braid. That said, two knots are really all you need: uni-to-uni, and the Albright Special/Alberto. There are YouTube tutorials that make tying really easy with practice. I am 100% confident in my leader knots.
