Have it on all my cork handled rods. Hootie

What makes a reel worth $600.00?....Uhh...nothing. Seriously, in my opinion, the only thing that makes it worth it, is the consumers willingness to pay it. Not "narry another thing"!! Hootie

In spinnerbaits, I have War eagle, Strikeking, Booyah, yet BPS Lazer Eye spinnerbaits are my best producers. Hootie

That is NUTS!!!!!! Hootie

Have both, and would be hard pressed to choose. However, right now, I would lean toward the ci4 since it is my newest one. After just playing around with it, I am confident enough that I ordered another one. As a matter of fact, it will be here in a couple hours. "Out for delivery". Hootie

Thank you, like I said, for me, that first ten pounds was a great motivator. Hootie

I use the Yum F2 Crawfish scent. Yes, I think it does make a difference. I also use Megastrike Original. Good stuff. You don't have to apply Megastrike as often, as it is thicker, kind of greasy, or waxy. Try it, You'll like it. Hootie

Thanks Roadwarrior. After the first 10#s, I really got into it. Did, and still do a lot of walking. The hardest part for me was giving up potato chips. I could live on chips. "Bet ya can't eat just one". Truer words were never spoken...lol. Hootie

My resolution this time last year. Went from 254# all the way down to180#. Still there. I am 6' tall. Believe me, fishing was a WHOLE LOT easier after losing 74#. Hootie

AbrazX is what I use. The lake I fish has a LOT of wood. Matter of fact, it's like fishing "in the woods". Hootie

New tackle is just plain FUN! Doesn't matter what it is, new rods, reels, jigs, plastics. You name it. Hootie

I have 3 of the G series curados. Fished them all last season alongside my Chronarchs. Never a problem. Of course you must know, I bought the 3 good ones they made. And like Diggy said, abusive. Some guys could tear up a rock...lol. Hootie

There, pick your favorite 3 out of those 19 choices....lol. Hootie

The wife, or the bass....lol. She is a whiz with photoshop. I had her to send this to Walgreens to be put on a coffee mug. When I went to pick up the mug, the photo was on one side. On the other side she had put, in big capital letters, "BIG BOGUS BASS". When I asked her why, she says, "you didn't want to lie did you". I said, YEAH!!! Oh well, still a nice mug. I try not to let anyone see the other side. Hootie

The bass in my avatar is about 3#. I asked my wife if she could make it look like a 10#er. The final result. Hootie

Sensitivity is not really an issue with crankbaits. Hootie

That's not junk! That's good stuff!! Hootie

Mark, I wonder if anybody understands this other than me...lol. You still crack me up!! Hootie

Thanks Roadwarrior, no I am not in any way associated with anyone. I was just purchasing another Chronarch ci4, when I noticed the deal on the rods. Hootie

Don't know if it's okay to post this, so mods feel free to delete if this is a no-no, but American Legacy Fishing has some great deals on Dobyns rods. Hootie

Why would you assume he isn't paying attention? Hootie

I have been told BPS will be having during the Spring Fishing Classic for $99.99, and will be doing the trade in thing. I'm thinking $89.00 out the door. The Curado that is. Hootie

Exactly what I was thinking. Hootie

I have the Curado, and the Lews and the PQ. Like em all. Guess that means I'm no help at all.

I see, I got it, oh okay, yeah, there it is. Thank you OH SO very much....lol. Hootie
