SPEEDBEAD.

So Brian, I saw in the other thread that you will not be joining us this year? Bummer man, but I hope the new endeavor works out well for you. Make lots of money and buy some land!! I always wanted to hunt out that way. ;D

^ Well said. Check you PM there big dog...

Wakebait at night.

I saw that one. There was this hot red-head on the box cover.... ;D

Stonewall frozen, eh?

Well, you have to actually be able to READ to enjoy it.

It's on there now.

I agree with him ^ 3:16 makes an amazing bait, but price and availability issues irritate me about them sometimes. Won't stop me from buying, but still...

Whats the red flag?? Honestly, alot of people think they are really bright and ugly, but they really aren't as bright as they look, but that comes up alot and its understandable. I really think the college series is going to be what sets citrus stick apart. They are already light, sensitive and strong, once people start seeing colors they like and trying them out I think alot will change. They are at the classic right now, so if anyone is going there stop by and check them out. It just means a post with more than 25 responses. Nothing towards the rod company, just a forum thing.

I agree, but that is how advancements are made, too. Don't forget that Loomis and Shimano were not created on the first day (just using those two as they seem to have the biggest following). At one point, they were "new" as well.

My apologies.... Hella cool, 4 realz.

My buddies and I have a neat trick. You can use the connectors that come in the pack. I take a little hook and put it through the rubber connector then I put the glow stick in and I pull some line down from my 2nd or 3rd eye up and hang the hook on it. The glow sticks work great, because they show the subtle bites. Well, if the fish are not biting you could always just tie some line to the sticks, swing them around and have yourself a good ol' fashioned RAVE right there on the bank... Yee haww. ;D

I was looking at the live blog from the Classic and see a story from db (Don Barone). Met him briefly at the Road Trip last year and he seemed like a nice enough fellow, if not a little eccentric. I started to read this story and honestly didnt see what it had to do with anything. By the time I got to the end, I had a tear in each eye. This guy can really write. He certainly has a style all his own. http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/bassmaster/columns/story?columnist=barone_don&id=4926229 Thanks again to all that have served and continue to do so. I dont know what else to say...

PM sent. I may be able to help.

Do you now refer to yourself in the third person? ;D

You're fat. So am I. Deal with it, I do. Maybe we should call it the "West Virginia Fat Arse Debutante Ball" this year. Make sure everyone feels welcome. ;D

NOW, the stuff is on sale. Those are not the same prices as when I posted a while ago.

Looks like Cielo, Viento, Seaguar InvisX and SPRO Arukus are first today. The line doesnt seem to be on sale though?

PM sent

You need to ask Roadwarrior. Russ was an alternate for that team. He may know as well...

Fair enough. You will now be known simply as #2. ;D

If by bad luck you mean having numerous big bass hit them and literally tear the bait apart because they want it dead, then yeah I've had "bad" luck with the baby bass too QUE? I dont see "bad luck" anywhere in there... :-?

I thought the same thing when I saw the commercial showing "athletes" sitting around eating McNuggets. Me? Yeah, I like some McNuggets from time to time... An Olympic caliber athlete? : Maybe Michael Phelps and his 10,000 calorie diet.

You are absolutely, positively THE FIRST person I have seen recommending to stay away from anything Matt offers. Did you contact him with your issue? His customer service is second to none...
