SPEEDBEAD.

I have the 7'6" and I love it. I havent even used it as a flipping rod yet. Been throwing smaller swimbaits on it since March and it works perfectly with baits up to 2.5 oz. Like Burley said, you wont regret it.

Try rigging your fluke "upside down". It will still be weedless and your hookups will improve.

Finally!!! I knew you were a smart kid LOL

Well, thats what makes the world go 'round.... I like it, hasnt given me headaches and makes me feel good LOL

LOL, I cant wait to get a side by side comparison with you....

Give this one a try.... 1.5 hours pre workout - Protein shake like Vyron mentioned .5 hour before workout - BSN NO-Xplode (1 or 2 scoops) Immediately following workout - Protein shake and some more simple carbs to assist w/ energy recovery. That NO-Xplode stuff is the best supplement ever made IMO.

I'm with Bighead.....WHEN CAN WE START TALKING ABOUT KENTUCKY!?!?!?! Nice video Glenn. Glad to see my "helmet pic" was left out LOL

Hey, why not.... Pens in 6.

Wow Gene. I got the impression you were smarter than this. LOL Just another goofy fisherman like the rest of us

Anyone have a price on this thing yet?

From what I understand, spraying the KVD Line and Lure on braid will help it hold its color. That is what the maker said at Guntersville. I am currently using some Sufix that MassholeMike gave me, and so far I like it. I have now tried the Spiderwire Original, Stealth, Stren and the Sufix. I havent really developed a preference other than not really liking the Original Spiderwire....

Is it just me, or does it seem like this show hasnt been on for a LOOOONG TIME. From what I can gather, the 7th (final) season is set to begin in september. 13 episodes. I know we used to have a thread about this show, who else is a fan?

I wouldn't recomend this. Your crankbait will chip and it wont bring em in. Dude, stop.....seiously. : :-? River fishing can be frustrating because a lot of times, EVERYTHING looks good. Trees here, ledges there, boulders somewhere else. Before getting into one of the tournaments, make sure to do your homework and some prefishing in that area. Talk to some of the locals you see in the area. While most may not tell you anything, there is always that chance someone will. Either way, I am sure your grandfather would be honored you chose to continue his memory in this way. Good job. Wayne

I must have got one of the good ones, because I have a 16ft Tracker Jon that is HEAVY. 1-5 all move the boat effectively. Keep it in perspective, you are not going to get on plane with a trolling motor....

We call them "turds" and yes, they work well in the slop.

http://www.fish.state.pa.us/water/lakes/lily/00lily.htm It appears they like the Rip Shad up there?

Thanks Glenn, that answers it for me!!

I believe that is Megastrike as well...

Is there any possibility of this?

Atlanta metro area I believe. Randall, good to see you posting again. Good luck!!!

It started in January this year and one person has been selected each month since then. Just thought a place where those guys could be recognized would be nice.

Hmmm....Really? Sounds like there is some connection there to me, but I digress.... :-X To the OP, I like my Carrot Stix. I have the 7'6" Flipping stick that I have been using to throw light swimbaits. I absolutely love the thing. I cant wait to try it for what it was intended. Seems like it will be a welcome addition.... I have not used a Cumara, but have handled one at Riskkid's house. Very light and I am sure a quality rod. I really dont think you could go wrong with any of the rods mentioned, including a Kistler.

Would it be feasible to have a thread (sticky maybe?) where the links to previous "Elite" members could be located? I just think it would be easier to re-read them occasionally..... Hopefully there is not already one in existence and my blind eyes are not able to see it. Thanks. Wayne

Crack rocks!!!! ;D
