Why would you be changing the mono out everytime? Its not being exposed to UV or anything harmful. Nylon backing will a last several seasons for a bass fisherman. I've had cajun red under braid on a few reels for years. Unless you were absolutely tryin to lighten the spool as much as possible, using braid as backing doesn't benifit a bass fisherman any.

Very nice buck, lots of character. Lots of people hunt their whole life and don't get one that size much less with a bow.

Agreed. Never saw this as a "problem" that needed solving.

I use a 7' Medium Fast action fenwick HMG...Right around $100 and does great for rebel crawfish, zara puppys, and smaller buzzbaits. I've been known to break a rod or two lol, and every fenwick I own has been very durable.

Gotcha. I remember the whitesox had 3 guys hitting triple digits and it was a bit sketch. Turned on the game 1 I think and there were several guys sitting in the high 90's, so I was wondering. I Used to be a diehard fan and lost interest a few years back. Right wrong or indifferent the current influx of 3-2 games just doesnt personally keep me intrigued the same way anymore...Still love a good october game though!

Has anyone else noticed fox's radar guns seem a little fast? I remember they were acused of it a few years back when the chisox were in the series.

Media BS taken out of context to drum up a story... He also went out to say CJ was the best, funny that got left out. Dez did put 2 TD's despite not being targeted by Romo for most of the 1st half. CJ is a freak, but he was also responsible for 2 turnovers that dang near got them beat. And was also single covered a lot for some apparent reason.

The Sig is a very nice reel. Smoother and More refined than the PQ, its just heavy as all get out. The PQ is good reel and has a well earned reputation. I own a J.M. Carbonlite, it does some things well. Good drag, casts light baits VERY good, weighs nothing. The finish is junk, and the reel itself is rough/noisy due to the construction.

Felix Out of curiosity have you tried flouro on your reels yet? If so how did they handle it?

I have never been able to justify spending much on a spinning reel. I much prefer casting reels, but I use spinners quite a bit and my pflueger presidents and Abu Cardinals have given me zero issues over the years. Recently when my 6 year old cardinal had the handle broken (clumsy buddy lol). I decided I would like to get another spinning reel and set my budget of up to around 125 bucks. After looking at the offerings from Daiwa, Shimano, Pflueger and a few others I ended going with the Orra SX30. I came close to getting a supreme MGX or Daiwa Aird. I initially wanted to get a Shimano Symetre, but the cheap looking non bearing knobs on the 3000 were a deal beaker for me. Im sure their great reels that will stand the test of time, but its hard to enjoy a reel that you don't like the handle on. I have only had it out twice, but so far I am impressed. -Looking at schematics, the reel has two opposite bearings in locations other reels have one. Abu also uses their HPCR bearings, which are utilized in more high end reels. Also worth noting is how well sealed everything is, the drag, bearings, handle etc is quite good. Ive noticed on a few spinners rust stains coming from the area on the roller bearings, where water gets in. I was happy to find a neoprene washer protecting the HPCR bearing...Nice touch! -It has a one piece frame, I honestly haven't had issues with 2 piece graphite in my presidents but nice to know its there. -One pet peeve of mine is a lot of spinning reels seem to take greater force to turn, regardless of whether a smooth reel or not it bugs me if takes much effort to get that handle going. Several reels that I fondled in this range have that issue. This reel doesn't take much to get going, and is smooth cranking even when winding in a bandit 200 crankbait. -The reel doesn't have the "wobble" a lot of spinners have. Not sure of the proper name for it, but the tolerance between the spool and the "bail support arms" is tighter than a lot of reels. A few negatives: -There is a washer under the spool that can get off center when the spool is removed. Combined with the closeness of the bail arms to the spool and it isnt as easy as it usually is to replace the spool. - The line lay on the spool seems to stagger more towards the bottom. This is a common problem. Not the reels fault, but as always you need to watch overfilling the spool. I filled the braid spool up nice and full at home, (1/8 from the spool lip, maybe a hair less) once out on the water when the braid was spooled a bit looser on the reel I had issues. I removed about 40-50 ft of line and everything was great. Totally my fault for slightly overfilling a spool with brand new "unbroken in" PP8, but remember to watch the bottom of your spool when spooling line. Bottom line, I am very happy with this reel and recommend anyone in the market for a moderately priced spinning reel to give them a look.

I really am not a fan, and don't want him to do well. But the criticism of RG3 this year is way blown out of proportion. He is showing flashes, and yes the wheels aren't there at the moment. But heck luck isnt lighting the league up this year either. Fact is the stars aligned just right last year, this isn't a very talented football team. Garcon aint a NO 1 WR. Other than williams theyre line sucks..People can talk smack about Jerry Jones all they want, but the skins trade their 1st round pick most every year. I can't stand the skins, but I hate to admit it that they're my pick to win the division...They might be 7-9, but everyone else is bad lol.

Haven't used it but I hear the regular teckel frog is the same bait as the legendary swamp donkey.

Forget statistics; the dallas cowboys will never amount to anything beyond a 1st round playoff team with Tony Romo as they're QB. Defensive players talk about the fact they feed off how he will make a mistake at the most inopertune time. I think theres a psychological effect on thise around him too, no one ever says it but it can't be healthy having the most well known choker in sports as your QB. He pads his stats in garbage time, looks like a worldbeater then enxplicably disappears when they get a lead and can step on an opponents throat, and its garunteed will screw it up when his team needs him the most.

Cut one leg 1/2"-3/4" shorter than the other. Heard this years ago from a pro. I have no clue why, but it works.

I understand what you mean. I hated how they ran They ran the 3-4 and hadn't had a nose tackle since parcells left, every draft they ignored it. Jerry has always had a thing for the skill guys. I disliked the TE in rd 2 this year, hr doesn't look bad, but why when you have Witten and Hanna. In jerrys defense, Dallas does better than anyone at finding guys who either didn't get drafted or are in the scrap heap. At least the scouting dept. Knoes what its doing.

Who else should they have picked? All of the DTs that everyone was screaming about Dallas passing on have done zero this year. The DT that Denver picked before right before Frederick isn't even on the active roster due to poor play. And the pick they got in the trade along with Frederick? He put up 150 yards receiving yesterday. This draft was completely different than most, there was minimal difference between the 18th pick and the 45th pick. They didn't like the DTs or Safeties in that range, and other than Eric Reid at 18, none of them have looked very good so far. Jerry caught flack because the "experts" had Frederick going lower, who knows where another team would have grabbed him. He was theyre man and they got him. Romo has always struggled with pressure up the middle and they fixed a weakness. Its also worth noting that the 3rd round safety Dallas picked up is starting and despite the team getting torched by Payton, is holding up well for a rookie whos a recent RB convert.

Often the living rubber on frog legs, jigs, etc. "melts". Leaves a mess. The jigs I bought are fine, but I've had plenty of baits decompose in my boxes. Especially spro frogs and mop jigs. I just bought enough of the Alton Jones A jigs to last me for a long, long time. Just wondering if anyone had any tricks. I suppose I'll just store them in the closet (stays about 70 degrees) until I use each one.

Recently came across a bunch of my favorite jigs, which feature rubber skirts. Other than keeping them out of extreme heat, is there anything else I can do?

Got some stealth out of the clearance bin a few years back and its been good line. Smooth, color fade has been minmal, no unexexted break offs. I'm completely happy with it in 30lb on a baitcaster.

The colts apparently now have a defense. They will be interesting to watch going forward. I like Andrew Luck. He hasn't had to air it out much this year because of their D. My Cowboys are gonna be a .500 team again. Anthony Spencer going down for the year is a big loss. Factoring in setting the edge and making plays in crucial moments, hes made just as much of an impact as Ware these last 2 years. Romo has to throw the ball down the field more. Dink and dunk is fine if you have a great D, but they don't. The rest of the east will bumble into the end of the year. Washington is showing flashes here and there, but if they cant get their running game going their sunk. Oakland nearly beat them yesterday.. Philly has a bad secondary and Vick isn't playing well. They have an easier schedule compared to other divisional teams going forward though. And the giants are BAAAD.

There's a spot near my home where a lake turns back into a river below a dam. There are smallies and largemouth, walking baits work great. Both species jump A LOT here. They also seem to slash at the bait often only getting a single rear treble in them. I'd lost a few nice fish this year on fast action graphite rods, drop the rod tip down, keep pressure on them, etc. They'd still throw the bait. Especially at the end of a long cast. Since switching to a nice glass rod this no longer an issue. Yes its heavy. And the tip requires more work on my part to walk a bait (not THAT bad). Another suprise is if you get snagged and pull the bait free, that glass tip will send the bait rocketing into orbit.You really have to be mindful of that.

Good lookin reel.The handle (not the knob itself) is the same as a one used on pfluegers and a few others. Probably the same oem as a lot of the pure fishing reels. I was going to pickup another president for smallies, honestly hadnt seen these.Look forward to your two cents on this reel.

Many different ways to fish em, but I always have a yamamoto hula grub on the back.

I love the carbonlites, but my experience with their guides (and every other pac bay guided rod I've owned) is the inserts fall out. I've returned two carbonlites already. Never had an issue with fuji or even the ss304's pure fishing uses.

That's a BIG deal. AFC is there dor the taking this year.Brady is getting gronk back, and the colts just got trent richardson.
