SPEEDBEAD.

Just starting out? Soft stick bait (Senko, trick stick, Yum Dinger, etc) and a Gamakatsu 4/0 EWG or 1/0 Finesse Wacky hook. You'll catch fish everywhere you go. Expand from there.

LOL, oddly enough I can see that happening on Saturday.

I honestly believe the Steelers and the Ravens are the only two teams capable of beating the Patriots in the playoffs. I say this because they are the two teams that have the ability to play in the same climate as Foxboro and both have defenses that, when they play at their best, have the ability to shut down that Pat's offense. The Pats are looking tough right now, no doubt.

That rod went home with me from Bass U. Kent won it in a raffle. And, since it didn't say GLoomis on it, he wanted nothing to do with it, and sold it to me. Made us both happy. I obviously haven't fished it yet, so I can't say much about it. I did a quick comparison to the only rod in my arsenal that is at least somewhat similar; a Dobyns 7'6" H-F rod. Dobyns is heavy power, Duckett is Extra-heavy Both are 7'6" Duckett rod is noticeably lighter in weight. Dobyns rod has a little faster action when flexed. Duckett rod has a LOT more power when flexed. I know how the Dobyns rod fishes. It's great. My opinion on the Duckett will have to wait. One peculiar thing is the lack of line weight and lure weight ratings on the rod. It simply says Extra Heavy, and that's it. No indication of action. No weight ratings at all. TW does not list line/lure weight ratings for this rod, and neither does the Duckett website. What's up with that? This is data most of us use when making rod purchasing decisions. So, we gonna throw some big stuff in Kentucky this year or what? ;D

LOL, I'll work for LC Pointers. PM coming your way.

It's all about three things: 1. What will the program let you get away with. 2. What will the program do to keep you eligible. 3. What you are willing to put into your studies when you realize a living will not be made playing sports.

Your screen name has CA Delta in it. I don't think you need to travel very far for the fish you are seeking.

Can I just volunteer to inherit everyone's fishing stuff at the end? ;D What end? There's a never ending supply of Old Farts. Just keep this in mind; you're up next. ;D ;D ;D I am technically a member of Team Depends now. Never thought I would feel "old" at 31. ;D

Like I said, it may be different. Try asking what they would prefer. After all, they do outrank you.

Not normal. IMO, it all has to do with respect. "Uncle" and things of that nature are not affected by age. I am 31 and still address all relatives by their appropriate titles, unless directed to do otherwise. You also have to take your up-bringing and family traditions into consideration. While it might be "normal" in my family to continue using the phrases, it may be "normal" in your family to not use them.

Answer you PMs goon. ;D

We hunt them in the fields around here. I like to hear the "thud" when they hit the ground. ;D

Are people still posting in the "Young Anglers" section? I don't know about those you mentioned, names don't ring a bell.

People come and people go. That's the way it is on internet boards. You'll see it pick back up around Christmas time through the New Year. People are focusing on end of semester activities probably.

coming from you, to be absolutely hilarious! I aim to please...

I make fresh sushi rolls on their rear patios. I use the fish that I just shot with my bow and then dispatched with a quick bite to the back of the head. I experience no friction as well. ;D LOL Do you take the piece along too? J, most people are awesome around here and don't care if you walk on their land as long as you ask first. There's a spot I want to hit where Honey Creek comes out of a cave and it's a huge freakin' hole. I bet there's some giants in that area, but I can never catch the owners when they are home I'm about to write them a letter LOL Much like the America Express slogan, I never leave home without it. ;D

I don't see why not. I'm not sure of the line capacity of that particular reel, but if you can get a decent amount of line on it then give it a shot. Nice thing is that you already have it. If it doesnt work well, then you really are no worse off.

PM me if you want any info on what I did. Really simple actually.
