I think you will be just fine in camo boxers and your Miss Piggy slippers. Dont shave your back, instant sweater!!!

Shimano 300/301 Cardiff Shimano 300/301 Curado Both will handle lures under 2 oz effortlessly.

Dont laugh, but I didnt catch a fish on mine until it looked beat up. I like them so much, I have three now. Somehow, I broke off one of the pectoral fins and chipped up the paint a little bit around the joints (like you mentioned). Still swims perfectly and still catching fish. A thin layer of epoxy shouldnt do anything to the bait. Good luck and keep throwing that thing.

I didnt like the Rat. Treble hook is too small, bait sits too high in the water (yet still gets hung more :-?) I tried them for a couple outings, but switched back to my Bronzeye Frog soon after.

There are a couple, each serving a different purpose for me. I like my 3:16 Wake Jr's/Baby wake for clearer water and when a more subtle approach seems warranted. I like the 9" Slammer for fishing at night or in stained up water. Those things push some serious water. If I had to pick just one for all around use, it would likely be the Mattlures Hard Bluegill. Swims nice, looks just like the real thing and it gets bit. BTW, still waiting......

I realize there is another boat there, as someone is taking the pics from the side. That arm looks like it's in his boat to me though...

Chris, in your pic you posted I notice another person's arm there. I thought you only went fishing by yourself? Just an observation...

There are quite a few stories around here from Raystown. Small dogs jumping off docks and their tags flashing in the water attracts a big musky. Ducks swimming along the shoreline being picked off. A guy with a Med-Alert bracelet swimming had one come up and nip his hand. Seems to be like FF15 said. Thrashing around or "flashy" things attract muskies. Look at the big bucktails and topwaters people throw for them. They do the same exact thing.

Good Lord, please tell me you are kidding with this? If the above statement is meant as a poke, then it's hilarious. If not, I genuinely feel bad for you.

Green Trout is a regional name for the Largemouth.

We call the ladder game " toss" ;D

The 5/16th Booyah Baby Boo is the jig I throw the majority of the time. I like the lighter gauge hook as it seems to penetrate and hold much better than the larger flipping jigs.

A great inanimate role model would be "Hooked on Phonics."

YES!!!! ;D 9.98 is great!!!

Yep. Another low cost rod that I am currently using for frogging is a Fenwick Venture 7'MH (fishes like a heavy) paired with a Revo S-L. I am throwing 50lb sufix braid. Balances nicely together and I think the grand total $$$ of rod, reel and full spool of line was under $150. You can buy quite a few frogs for $50.

Real men eat it raw....

You should have seen some of the sights down there..... I was impressed, to say the least. :-X

No, and you should be flogged for asking another man that question. I knew this had to be my picture.....of course. Teaching Burley the fine art of pitching a jig is tough work. I needed a nap after the frustration...

Hope it wasn't mine....

NO DOUBT ;D

Slomoe, I hear ya on Gleaming the Cube and Tango and Cash (FUBAR) ;D Goonies...."Baby RUUUth" It also seems that I can't pass up Roadhouse when it's on TV.

6", right? I hope it's not the 8".

That rod will handle those baits without a problem.

And yet, you consider Burley a friend. ;D

I am pretty sure that having an affair is far from an accident.....ever. "Oh honey. I dont know what happened. I tripped, fell, and landed right on this girl at work. Eight times. Weird..." : Nope.
