A small order like this one ? There's nothing like ~$200 of Megabass Lures. That's quite a haul. What do you think of the Anthrax?

I had to deal with the same situation years ago when my wife and I were in college. I tried to talk to the guy but he thought it was something racial and I all I really wanted to do was sleep. Luckly, we had an older neighbor who had an apartment full of expensive nicknacks. The bass was so loud it knocked one of a shelf. She complained to the manager and she ended up having him kicked out. She also go to keep his security deposit to cover the damage to her broked trinket.

You can't beat a black and blue Zoom Lizard. Out of the soft plastic I use, they always produce the most vicious strikes.

What's so special about this reel other than the fact Skeet's got his name on it?

I used both and prefer PowerPro. I did like the Sufix braid though. PowerPro seems to last longer and also seems to have a thinner diameter. Both fade about the same but the Sufix seemed get sort of fuzzy after awhile and the knot strength was not as good as I would like it. But again, I did like Sufix but not as well as the PowerPro.

Dude, I might look at that, I'm leaning towards an 8ft flippin stick, so this would be great! How sensitive / light is it? The riggin stick I purchased is very sensitive but it's on the heavy side. The flippin stick is also heavy but not much heavier than most other rods. It also comes with a weight balancing system. Another plus is that there is a reabate for $50 if you buy any Fenwick or All Star rod and a Revo.

You might take a look at Falcons's boxes. They have some great innovations when it comes to holding specific lures in a custom a made box.

I saw this on ebay and had to post it. This is a nice collection. http://cgi.ebay.com/Large-Collection-of-Vintage-Lures-Gear-Old-Tackle-Box_W0QQitemZ310030282953QQihZ021QQcategoryZ793QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

This is just a suggestion not a recommendation but you might take a look at a Fenwick EliteTeck Flippin Stick. I almost brought one home last weekend but I had my wife's small car. I could not fit this 7'11'' monster rod in her matchbox so I came home with the 7'3'' riggin stick. But if I was in my vehichle that big rod would have come home. I really liked it but I am also very happy with rod I purchased.

I wouldn't worry. It was just a first impression and I have only looked at this rod in store. When you get it, fish it for awhile and let us know what you think. It's always great to hear info on technique specific rods because everybody fishes those specialized techniques differently.

Love the Fat Ika. Oddly nobody I know fishes it, except for those on this forum. It has become a great go to bait for me. As far as color goes, I like black with blue flake. It seems to land more fish than anything else.

A buddy of mine went last weekend and said it was a waste of time. So this year I decided to stay home. BPS is about two hours away and it makes no sense to spend the gas money when I can go to my local tackle shop and get everything BPS has and more.

Favorites In Fisherman Bill Dance Hunt Fish Cook Fishing the Flats Worst One More Cast Hank Parker Roland Martin One I have not made my mind up on yet is Ikes City Limits. I like the concept but just something about the guy (on the show) bothers me. With some time this show could be a winner. There is one other that I can not remember what it is called but it's fun to watch. There are two good looking women that go on these outdoor adventures (hunting, fishing,ect.) and they get to experience most of this stuff for the first time. It's pretty funny.

Thanks for the great product.

My dad use to take me fishing almost every weekend when I was a kid. He worked the night shift for awhile and as soon as we got home he would pick us up and head to the lake with no sleep. I guess he loved to fish. He was not the best bass fisherman but he was always entertaining to watch. He was sort of like a Bill Dance accident waiting to happen. I sure do miss him. I would like to think he is still fishing somewhere.

It has gotten out of hand. Some day I am just going to call the survey number just so I can complain about how long the receipt is. Also, I heard from a retailer that ink on some receipt paper is designed to fade over time so people won't be able to bring an item back after they have had it for awhile. For example, Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart. Just plain crazy.

I didn't think about it but you got a good point. The handle is kind of short on the Riggin Stick I have. You would think that a rod made for Carolina Rigs and such would have a longer handle. There was one other rod I almost brought home, but could not get in my wife's little car, and it was the 7'11'' Flippin Stick. This rod was a beast and it just screamed to be used in heavy cover. I would also like to hear opinions on this rod as well.

I use both but I prefer Senkos. I have no issues with the price because I always buy them on sale and I have only had a couple of packs that were so soft that they tore after a few fish. The Dinger on the other hand is a good value. You get more for less money but I don't care for all the salt. Senkos are also my go to bait, so in my head I think I catch more fish with them. However, when it comes to the 4in size I like the Dinger better than the Senko. A weightless 4in Black Pearl Lam. Dinger has been a secret weapon of mine when nothing else will work but it's a dink maganite.

I purchased a 7'3'' H Riggin' Stick over the weekend and like it so far. It casts further than any other rod I own, including my Loomis MBR844C. It's also pretty sensitive somewhere between a Loomis IMX and GLX. But on the down side, it's seems heavy even without the weight system. I have tried a couple of reels with it and the one I liked best so far has been my Shimano Calcutta 251. It balanced better than anything else I owned and I can cast a 6in Senko about 30 feet further than I ever have before. I think Fenwick has some winners with their new line up. The only one I question and would like to here some feedback on is their Crankshaft rods. The one I looked at was very floppy at the tip and stiff at bottom. It reminded me at first of an old Ugly Stick I use to have but after looking closer you could tell it was a well thought out rod.

I use braid but not for everything. It has it's time and place but I prefer to use for topwater and heavy cover. It's great stuff but I find I catch more fish using fluorocarbon and co-polymer lines.

Shimano Sustain 2500 and a St.Croix Avid 6'8'' M x-fast. I fish mostly soft plastic now and this is about the easiest set up I have to use.

My favorite old PC games got to be Duke Nukem and of course Doom. But what about a real pinball machine? Are any of guys old enough to remember these things? I recall the first video game (Space Invaders) I ever saw and thought how weird, it will never replace pinball. How I wish I could take that one back.

P-Line 15lb Floroclear or 15lb Trilene Fluorocarbon are lines of choice but I also use YoZuri Hybrid 12lb on occasion.

My favorite changes depending on what mood I'm in. Loomis MBR783 GLX and a Shimano Calais 201A OR Loomis BCR803 GLX and Shimano Calcutta 251 (maybe Revo Premier )

Just another idea, I have been using a Jansport backpack and can put lots of stuff in it. This one is much bigger than the one I have but it should hold tons. http://www.ebags.com/jansport/driver_8/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=20186 It also has a lifetime warranty.
