I just use the 3700 boxes, I have shallow, medium, deep, extra deep, topwater,frogs, jerkbait, lipless, all in different boxes.

Bananas are suppose to be bad luck if you have them in the boat.

Like some have said, I don't use a leader flipping and pitching, I use green braid and tie directly on the lure.

If I going in the morning I try to get up in time to fix breakfast. I carry Cliff bars and peanut butter crackers. For lunch it is Vienna Sausages with BBQ sauce and crackers. My drinks is mostly water with sometimes a Mountain Dew. You can also used the MD to pour down a fish if it is bleeding. Seriously.

Not pertaining to fishing but this is pretty funny. My daughter had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled. When we put her to sleep that night, we told her to call us if she had to get up to go to the bathroom and we would help her. That morning we were talking to her and said that we guess that she didn't need to get up during the night. She informed us that she did get up during the night to go to the bathroom. We asked her why she didn't call us to help here, she said that Katie helped her. (Katie is her best friend). We informed her that Katie didn't spend the night with us and she didn't help her to the bathroom. She insisted that she did. The oral dentist must have really gave her some of that good stuff. She never believed us until she saw Katie 2 days later and was told that she wasn't there so she couldn't have helped her. I don't know if she ever believed us or Katie.

Check out Falcon Lowrider Rods. They are made in USA, have cork handles, and the cost is $160. I own three, great rod IMHO.

I order my 1/16oz weedless hooks from a guy from around Table Rock I believe. They have one small strand of wire for a weed guard. Works great and a good looking jig.

Glad it turned out ok. I saw on Bassmaster when KVD got a treble in his finger. They popped it out with the braid trick. Everyone should know how to do this but it does take a buddy to help.

That is one of the best setup that I have seen in a mini boat. You did a great job !!!

Good info Tom !!!

Believe your right, Brad does use that type of line tie.

Looks great !!! Don't give up on the bass.

I have never had a knot problem with FC or mono. I tie one knot for all. I call it the Jimmy Houston knot. I don't know the real name but it is the one you end up with a loop and one end to cut off. Saw Jimmy tie this one years and years ago and have used it ever since.

Sending one back is the right thing to do, you are so right. However, call them and they might just say keep it, I have seen it happen.

I like my Lew's BB1 5:1.1 reel. I like the slower ratio especially for deep crankbaits. It just feels better than trying to slow down with a faster ratio or maybe I am just old school.

We need to what ever it takes to get (grand)kids outdoors instead of staying inside with video games and iphones. Whitwolf, you really needed to get the Skeeter, after all, it is for the grandson.

How can you be not friendly and happy when you are fishing.

Still using some 2 Lowriders from the 90's. I have added 1 new Lowrider. I love Falcon rods. I guess I just old school. I like the looks of them and mainly they way they fish. I did replace an orginal Falcon with a Lews because of weight. I kind of wish I replaces it with a Cara of some kind but I do love Lews stuff. Jason Christie does do too bad using Falcons.

I would put the 6:8.1 on the 7' rod spooled with 16lb Suline Sniper FC. I would use this rod for spinnerbaits, bladed jigs, and worm fishing. I would buy a Lew's Super Duty for the 7'5", spooled with 50lb braid Power Pro and use this for pitching, flipping, frog fishing and possible Carolina rig.

That is the same one I am looking at. Go ahead and buy it and then you can give me a report on it.

Sometimes it is hard cutting a big hole in your boat, glad it worked out for you.

Exactly, don't waste your $14. With a little more $, you could buy 3 Bandits.

I would put a white skirt back on. I can't remember throwing anything but white on a buzz bait, but that is just me.

Vest and kill switches no doubt saves lives. Wear them and hook up.

Those look great and for the price, you can buy a bunch of them.
