I have the 783 GLX and I can't think of any technique I would not try with this rod. It very versatile and super sensitive. It's the best general purpose rod I have ever fished and I think if I could only own one rod, it would be this one.

PED users can get up to 6 games for their first offense if they test positive, lie and then try to manipulate the results, 10 games for second offense, and 2 years for the third. > That's why I thought the penalty would be harsher. This is not the first time the Patriots have been caught but it is the first for Tom Brady (sort of). If anybody is interested, here is the short version of the league policy on substance abuse/drugs and PEDs . http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11542076/nfl-union-ok-new-performance-enhancing-drug-policy-human-growth-hormone-testing

Do I get a cookie or some beef jerky..... You could buy one from their store and pay for it with this

My daughter wants a pair. She has the shoes and hat to match.

I first heard this from a buddy that is "close" to the NFL. He usually is pretty good at knowing this stuff before anybody but he even told me, it was just rumor. Personally, I thought the penalty would be more harsh but this is the NFL. In the end I guess it is fair and sets the example. I do find it funny that Pats fans think there is a sting going on or some type of conspiracy. >>Other teams have mentioned the balls, the colts mentioned their concerns before the game, there was an interception during the colts game that brought the balls to the officials attention, and when it comes down to it Kraft and his millions are tighter with the NFL than any other team. So really, I don't get why anyone is complaining. Also, lets face it, the Pats have a great team and are well coached (some times too well). I don't think they deserve to have the Super Bowl stripped, records or games taken away, as other owners, media, fans and players suggested. Lets move and play some football.

Great info Glenn. you should make a sticky for all your how to videos.

I have two small plano boxes. One is for bass/soft plastic and the other is for pan fish and catfish. I put the hooks on a piece of foam made for flies. I also keep bags of silicone in each box to keep the moisture out.

Norman's DD22 has been working for me when I use it.

Shimano Crucial Cranking. It's a good balance between power and not too sensitive.

No, short answer. Which FC have you been using? Big Game is good line but it does not have the sensitivity of FC nor does it last as long. It is however very cheap. A good alternative is Yo Zuri hybrid or Seagur Senshi.

If it is silvery blue, check out the D6. It came in couple different colors. If you could post a pic of what you have, it would help.

If you have a Gander Mountain near you this would be a great choice for around $100. I would go with he 6'6'' MH http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Gander-Mountain-Elite-Series-Baitcaster-Rod-66-Medium-Heavy&i=724927

Serengeti Lamone> I go them for about $75. A week later, I saw them for $300 at a sunglass shop. One of the best investments I have ever made. Great sunglasses.

I drove two hours to bass pro shop. I bought a Shimano Crucial Rod (old original version by the way). Drove home, fished it for 15 minutes, and it broke 4 inches from the top. I drove back, exchanged it for another just like. Drove home, fished the newer rod, it broke in same spot on the first fish. I drove back the next day, again, for the third time. That was about $120+ in gas. Stupid... I picked up G Loomis IMX 844C on the last trip. I have been fishing for about 8 years now. Just in case, I have the previous version cranking crucial and love it.

Shimano Chronarch would be my choice. It's easy to set up, cast well and I rarely get backlashes. All things you would want to look for in a first time reel.

You should watch the Dirty Jobs episode at the Jelly Belly Factory. I could never taste test or develop these gross flavors but sure is fun to watch my kids eat them.

No matter what happens the media will be moving from "Deflate-Gate" to the "Brady Ban". One thing is for sure, there will be some action taken against the Patriots organization.

A shimano sustain 3000 or 4000 (might be to big). Great reel.

Knobs are replaceable but again no bearings but you could just get a new handle with bearings (might not be worth the cost though).

If you can find one, the shimano chronarch have been on sale $159. I would pick up the 200 e5. Low gear ratio for slow rolling crank baits = awesome fun.... http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Shimano-Chronarch-Baitcast-Reel-CH50E-Right-Retrieve&i=446056

50lb for baitcasting and 15lb for spinning.

Awesome that is a tough test. When I was working out there was a young lady at the gym that would workout like a dog. I asked her one day what was going on and she said she was training to be a sports fire and rescue paramedic. She had to do the same training as a fire firefighter in that test but that 180lb dummy you mentioned, had to be picked up and carried up and down 4 flights of stairs. This women weighed 125lb and could deadlift 275b. She made it though. She works for a company now that handles pro, college, and high school sports games. It takes some serious dedication.

The same thing is done on amazon. They have 5in 10 packs of Senkos listed for $11marked down from $12.xx. Crazy.

The rumor I have been hearing around Indy is 1 year for Brady, 4 games for Belichick, 2016's 1st Round draft pick, a large fine, and staff involved must be released from stadium service. Again this is all rumor......
