The joys of owning a boat. Glad you can get on the water. Hopefully everthing is ready to go. I just replaced a battery, found out about it 2 minutes on the water.

Still have 5 or 6 packs of these !!!

I think Lew's made that a long time ago, called it the Speed Hook.

Got my first 2 coming Saturday, ordered Monkey Butt and Bluegill.

Welcome, glad to have you here !!!!

Dicks and Field and Stream are tied in together. I think Dicks owns F & S.

I use the cheap ones from BPS, does the job.

Still haven't tired them but I have 2 or order, the 90 version. Found them for $10 each.

The Ned rig strikes again !!!!

One of my favorite baits to throw. I have caught 6 over 5# so far this year on the chatterbait.

Welcome,glad to have you !!!

Welcome, glad you found us.

Yep, it's a LM.

Not saying this what happen, but this happen to me. Line got caught behind the spool when I was fishing. I took the spool off and when I did washers fell off. Well I put them back on and the reel never felt like it suppose to. When I was cleaning out the boat, I found another washer that I had not put back in the reel. I had another reel similar, so I took it apart to get the first one back working correctly. Worked great after that.

Retirement is the best way to avoid crowds. I know for some that is not an option right now, but let me tell you, it is the answer. I hardly fish my 33,000 acre reservoir on the weekends or Friday. Monday-Thurday, I just about have it to myself.

All the TRD's, Hula Sticks suppose to float and they will. When I get a pack of them, I put all of them in the sink and see which ones float. Those that do not float, I run warm water over them and start stretching them until they do. Standing up on the bottom is the best parts of the Ned rig, looks like baitfish feeding on the bottom.

Before the Ned rig became popular, I never used spinning equipment. Now I used it for over a year, I am just as accurate with spinning gear as I am with baitcasting gear. It just takes using it regularly.

I use the Alberto knot, easy to tie and it holds.

I am using a Lew's Custom Speed Stick with my Pflueger and love it. I mostly use it for Ned fishing.

I will admit to being a Lew's junkie, but check out the Lew's David Fritts Perfect Crankbait Rod, for $79, it's hard to beat.

Welcome, glad to have you back.

Welcome back, hope to get a Micro Anchor this year.

Welcome and thanks for your support.

Agree with the rest, boiling water does work.

"Out For Delivery" means you got to stay at home and hope your wife does not see you get a package.
