off subject kinda but reminds me of something i did a couple years ago.. was fishing stripper, surf casting with my conventional set up with a penn squider.. well i set the reel clicker and had the spool unlocked. sat back and relaxed.. the clicker went off zzzzzzzzzzzz so i grabbed the rod and set the hook without engaging the reel and ZING what a nest.. i don't know how big that fish was of course but man did that turn into a tug of war..

krocodile... 3/4oz chrome and blue.. or a gold castmaster 3/4oz... the bigger trout ive got on lures were on either one or the other of those..

the small rapalas also.. like the original floating, countdowns, jointed.. the J7 gold and black back is my go to for trolling.. if you need to get some distance out of them ive used a egg sinker with a swivel stopper and a 2' leader or so works just the same with a rubber core sinker also, just every oucne and a while you get a little line mess around the weight, for some reason i think they work better that way, i dunno why maybe they swim at a downward angle presentation thingy? the rainbow trout pat a goodie, the brook trout pattern also.. gold and black back. joes flys work good.. i usually use them in rivers and streams.. royal coach pattern is my go to... those things lock a trouts mouth shut good.

depends... do you need better than hardloy etc... whats on sale.. etc.. if i can get a deal on fancy guides i get em but if i have to pay the price for them then no thanks lol. i fine with hardloy, they never let me down yet..

home defense is not my responsibility lol, i got a wife for that.. both me and the dog are useless ounce we fall asleep that's it, someone could break in and ask me where the money is and id probably mumble about my wallet, then ***** about being asked something while sleeping and yell at them for a min, then roll over and fall back to sleep.

are you trying to add more fire to this topic or just kissing glens bass? it only lead to a further explanation of what his problems and situation he was in and it even included his involvement in the shooting sports as a bonus.

well the gun hype has yet to cool, so yea some how im sure the next political refugee whos not up to date with you on this will post something and someones going to follow them.. you probably going to pop another blood vessel or something.. so don't know what to tell ya then lol probably needs a month for the fire as a whole to calm back down to normal... shut it down or baby sit for another month... or shut it down for month... i dunno? good luck

re read your post.. Continued violation of this rule will result in the elimination of the gun forums altogether. why take it out on everyone here or threaten to do so... ban the people violating the rules not the whole gun section. what you said there is a low blow and considering the topic you chose its just down right nasty,. maybe your not into guns and that's fine, Im sure allot of people appreciate that you added a section for guns on your forum anyway but with all due respect its a low blow to threaten to take it away for a few heated political debates or whatever.... you got a problem with political people take it out on them not everyone...

oh man. there going to ban guns, your going to ban the gun forum. now your going to threaten to ban the gun forum for political comments made and etc if it continues and nothing said about banning the people making those posts instead etc... i tell you then fine you want to act like that Mr Glen then take this topic the gun section and the whole forum and stick it up your bass.

AT844-3 7' 3 Med-Hvy Fast 12-20 1/4 - 1 7 .545 2.8 amtac travel rod 3 piece.. that would make a nice light tackle stripper rod. come in handy also cause pacs nice and you can use it for light stuff and catching mac for the big rod.. its got enofe back bone to jack 3 -4 macs up a jetty on one of them sabiki things.

Rat Traps... put a donut chunk or pizza crust on there and set em next to the trash cans..

pacific bay rainforest 2 RF2SA1026-2 8’6” 12-25 3/4-3 2 MOD-FAST HEAVY 6.5 0.53” 4.10 thats going to lack a bit on the surf i think though, limmit your load and or etc.... thats not going to handle throwing a live mac or half a poggy with grace. or any heavey metal or plugs etc.. pac bay pbx X2GSU100H-2 10’ 20-40 2-6 2 MOD-FAST HEAVY 9.0 0.74” 8.90 for surf casting chunking plugging general purpose stripper id prefer that or the equivalent of it in amtac or batson etc.. it might be a little over rated for lighter stuff but it will still give em a good throw. its 2 piece 50/50 split, it will break down to 5' if that don't fit well you bought the wrong car.

for guides, i do just enough tension to take up the stretch in the tread. for decorative i go by more feel.. i wrap them with slightly a little more tension than the guide wraps id say but not much more. metalic threads just enofe to take up the slack in the thread.

there always going to have something new / different and or improved.. i like when things are advertised as better in all directions and your like how is that possible this makes no sense sounds more like it better in half those directions and worse in the other half and usually thats the way it ends up.
