  1. The purpose of the knot is to attach a leader to a main line. Especially effective when the diameter of the lines are different. I also use this tool for hook snells. Easy to use.
  2. My arthritic hands now use a knot tying tool and I love it. Opposing nail knot is very small to fit through guides and incredibly strong. I use it for attaching any leader.
  3. Culprit Zoom trick & finesse Rage craws In no particular order....
  4. I'm kind of crazy about the ACS seats. I have them on several of my personal rods. Love em!
  5. I like U-40 "Rod Bond" because it mixes to a paste/gel consistency and stays where you put it. I hate when the glue runs all over the place. Rod Bond is also very strong. JMHO
  6. Yep, I still loves me some Charlie Brewer sliders. ?
  7. I certainly hope you're right!
  8. Megastrike on plastics, nothing on hard baits.
  9. My PB (little under 7lbs) came out of a pond that was less then 3 acres.
  10. Wind is about the only thing (other than injury) that will cause me to hang it up.
  11. I have the old Calcutta DC (round reel). I love fishing with it.
  12. Not trying to argue, but the worm in that video looks like a Strike King 3X which is a floating worm. A conventional plastic worm that long wouldn't stand straight up 4" behind the hook, even if the jig stayed upright. Don't get me wrong, I love Bobby's shakey jig and use them all the time.
  13. Pretty simple if the trailer floats it will stand up, otherwise it will flop. I will use them either way. Its a confidence bait for me.
  14. Yep, great memories! I do miss the road trips.
  15. Iaconelli does this every year in NJ.
  16. Shimano Bantam SG - Bought it in the 70s. I'd still be using it if I hadn't given it away.
  17. Rod Bond for cork rings, grips and seats. I have some rods with 10-15 years on them with no issues. Hot glue for tips and "Threadmaster" and "Flexcoat" for wraps.
  18. I am also a Stella fan and the "Twin Power" (JDM Sustain), I have is pretty sweet also for less $$. No one wants a Stella until they get to fish with one.
  19. From the "just because I could department". I bought a 6' 4 wt 1 piece "Lamiglas" fly rod and built an UL rod. I love fishing with it. Usually a Stella 1000 with 4lb co-polymer line. I call it my "noodle rod".
  20. I fish frogs with my 'flippin stick".
  21. I can't produce the artist pieces like some of you guys, but I'm happy to do what I can. I will be honored to help on the next go round.
  22. I haven't been around a lot since the new software came about, but I am an old hand around here.
  23. How did I get tangled up in this? LOL
