Check out V&M clif pace swim jigs, couple good blue gill colors, bar fish, wat red, blue craw.

Game was good. Two kids with losing records went 6 shutout. Great defense. So how bout the second baseman on Houston stealing home lol. Have him on a fantasy team. He is dyno-mite on the base paths!

I agree. I probably shoulda kept walking. But I try to keep it a civil discussion. I hope

As far as ads go I don't watch tv I read a couple of magazines and feel the big four each have a half page or page ad in each mag.

I was hoping A-jay would chime in. lol I don't wanna call people out but their is another guy who's product you all are very fond of that uses a new energy on his flipping rod. Dunno if he still does. But point is quantum's are decent enough to get fish in the boat.

I hear you and here is my suggestion. If you buy a quantum buy I higher end in the price range you suggested or above. I am very hesitant when I hear some of these guys complaining they aren't as good as their shimano they are picking up a 60 or 90 reel and comparing to a curado or core when they should be comparing to a caen or citica. How many of these guys endorse low end shimano or daiwa? When some one wants a beginner casting reel neither of them are mentioned in that class.

Tour MG

Grigsby, hackney, klien, Ashley and of course bill dance are the rest of the pros.

I wouldn't say I am brand loyal to quantum I definitely like them a little more because they are the underdog. But right now with quantum swapping out models like mentioned you can get a serious bang for your buck. The new tour mg deffinately ups the anti with a sub 300 magnesium reel that so far is solid. The Exo as much as I hear the weekend angler gripe about their side plate are probably the most used of their model by pros.

Don't u quantum haters need to go oil a brake or something? Lol

I don't know TN but the quantums I use and/or own all have been good. I think people tend to follow others lead. I have daiwa and Abu and quantum holds their own. Energy PTs have been great for a long time, smokes have a good following. The tour edition and now tour mg are great reels at decent prices. The ACS breaking system is the bees knees. However I tend to not like the KVD stuff or some of their cheaper offerings but the code, accurist and kinetic are ok. I am not really into their rods either. But the ACS reels are where it's at. For 100-160 u can pick up an older energy pt or tour edition and have a great reel that is in a 200 class and now the smoke is coming down in price

Heading down to Dayton tonight I think. Me and my dad are going to take my oldest daughter to a baseball game, her first. Suns are out of town this weekend, last weekend we were busy baby turned one. So an hour an a half drive to see an advanced A game lol. It will be worth it though.

Toothpick or a screw in weight.

Congrats man. Your first one?

Top 3 for me: Grande bass rattlesnake in junebug redflake or watermelon candy red flake 3/0 VMC EWG 1/16 to 1/8 oz bullet weight BB cricket shadow blue 3/0 VMC EWG 1/8 to 1/4 oz screw in or pegged bullet weight 7-13" ribbon tails in red shad, Kissimmee blue or black blue flake with a 4/0 to 6/0 EWG with a 1/4 oz screw in or pegged bullet weight

I just fished with a friend who moved from AZ a couple yrs ago and hasn't fished much here, way different than what he is used to. Interesting to hear the differences.

I like the crickets but I use a light weight and pitch...The incredi craws I like but I fished those more texas rigged dragging/hopping bottom....I just pick up the gambler why not. It is interesting, today was the first day I used it. It deffinitely is made to punch. But I think it will do ok for me. Also check out V&M I won some delta bugs off the other site and they are kinda like incredi craws meet beaver, plus they have a few more styles to choose from like a hula beaver combo.

Yeah no kidding. He has had a great career, isnt there a couple K titles and era crown somewhere in there too. I always enjoyed watching him in his prime, little surfer dude with GAS!!!! I kinda hate to see the way he faded, lost the juice, but he is learning to pitch. Maybe this is a rebirth, get a third CY and ring LOL

What plastics do you usually flip with?

Yeah Lou has been know to give the monkey a little banana every now and again

Crazy he was just about written off

I am with TN...$100 is well worth it.

Any is too much lol but I bet a accurist sure would look sweet mounted on it if white is your thing lol....I might be able to get past it

Why did they have to be white....puke! Grips do look cool, proven tech spec based lengths and actions from the top competitors!

When will these be available for us regular folks? The picks u posted really has me wanting these!
