  1. Famous last words. :
  2. Very nice find T-rig, it shure looks prutty.
  3. You left out Cuban cigars. :-/
  4. Ask Redlinerobert to lend you his towing truck. ;D
  5. This one makes me drool all over for swimbaiting:
  6. Try lipping one of these: or these:
  7. Completely different concept, I 'd take a lure retriever over those lure savers anytime, when I hang a bait ( something that happens dunno, maybe 10-20 times in a trip ) I hang it up for good, seldomly they get tangled by the hooks, in 99.9% of the ocassions I can get my lure back with the lure retriever. Only problem with fishing from the bank is that plug knockers don 't work well unless the slope is very steep, on the other hand, with collapsible lure retriever poles you are limited to the length of the sections that form the pole so a bait may be, even with the pole fully extended, out of reach.
  8. And the most important ones are the ones that support the spool.
  9. I catch bass where carp are all the time. So much for: Where carp will play The bass won't stay :
  10. Yeah, that 's what happens when you have three different sites open at the same time and jump from the pet forum, to the plant forum to the fishing forum randomly. :
  11. Conversation between two anglers at the weight in - Redlinerobert is really the worst fisherman I 've ever seen, he always finishes in the last place. - Yeah he is ..... I wonder how does it feel to drive to the tourney in a spankin brand new H2 limited edition, jump on a spankin brand new Ranger Z22 and fish with a deck full spankin brand new Steez rods n 'reels. BTW, you managed to pay your mortgage, house, cat & boat payments ?
  12. Remember what I said ? - if lure weight is fine Lure weight is fine ( now it 's a matter of seeing if lure shape and design is also fine ) 1/4 oz - then it 's the rod, Rod was fine - if it 's not the rod, then it 's the line Line was fine -if it 's not the rod, then it 's the reel Reel: I removed some grease where oil should have been placed ----> was not - if it 's not the reel, then it is you Casting technique: The one thing I had to really pay attention to was the rod tip on the forward motion of the cast. I had a tendency to snap the rod tip downward while propelling the rod forward, which added to the poor trajectory of the plug. ---> was not It 's a simple matter of elimination, because there isn 't much to it. Casting is as much art as it is science, just like fishing, part of the factors are in the gear, others are in you, in order to be a good caster you have to know the technical stuff and how the gear functions and how every part in the delivery system reacts, how the alteration in one of the elements has a deep impact on the rest, in order to achieve a goal the 4 elements: reel, rod, line & weight have to be in balance, the easy stuff is balancing the gear, the difficult stuff has nothing to do with it, the difficult stuff or the art is in the casting technique, if ant of those elements doesn 't complement the other the results are far from what you expect. It 's very easy to put the blame on the gear, it 's a lot more difficult to recognize that we may not be doing the thigs correctly.
  13. That depends on two factors, water temperature which incubates the eggs and how the schedule of the spawn has taken place, not all the fish in the lake spawn at the same time, the spawn period can take anywhere from two weeks up to two months.
  14. For any bait that generates slack line that I want to pick up in an eyeblink.
  15. Kerolls are very pretty lures, nice addition to any T-box just because they look out of the ordinary, not better, worse or more effective than a Hula Popper. If you are looking for that, pretty and out of the ordinary they are for you.
  16. Lubina, that Megadiff looks ....... mean !
  17. The best place for purchasing components for sbs is Stamina, they 've got everything and the only limits are your CC limit and your imagination.
  18. That 's exactly the point Muddy, mooks always end up in the wrong place.
  19. Cardiff + Abec 7 's + rocket fuel + carbontex = holy s****t, whatta reel !
  20. Those jugs hold ALLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT of milk Synthetic for the lactose intolerant.
  21. Bearing quantity means nothing, bearing quality means everything.
  22. Miracles can happen ya know, not oftenly but they can happen. Don 't put all your faith in it and you won 't get disapointed.
  23. how do you take that on a ride!!! You don 't take him, he takes you its a freakin horse!!!! Ride problem solved, you saddle him Think about cleanin the crap up from that hing you'd need a few wheel barrels That 's in the case the dog craps out solid, which is rarely the case, they usually crap out quite loose so you need a hydrocleaner.
  24. Man, you will always be able to pull line no matter how tight the drag is, you have more pulling power than what the drag can take, that 's exactly the function of the drag, to slip before you reach the breaking point of the line. The reason why you set the drag to a certain poundage of pressure ( 1/3 of the poundage test of the line ) is to protect the line, the rod and the reel gearing from breaking, even the reel has a fail safe mechanism, those plastic gears you find in reels are designed to break before you damage the metal gears ....... a fishing reel is very far from being a winch.
  25. Weeeeeeelllll, the dog in the pic ain 't an English Mastiff for starters, that dog in the pic is a Neapolitan Mastiff.
