I still have mine. 9 ft long, circa mid 1950s, it's dry and brittle and would probably snap on a bluegill. It hangs on the wall in my man cave to remind me where I started.

I threw my first Pop Max in 2005 and I haven't thrown any other popper since. I collect them and fish them and IMO they are worth the coin. (Balsa Max pictured) "Form follows function, form follows emotion." - Yuki Ito

You know what they say about a boat with no name...

Have you ever fished the Delta?

I've used the Rapala Touch Screen for 5+ years now and really like it. It stores the last 8 weights and give a running total. Rapala claims it is accurate within 1 oz, but when I check it with a known weight it's right on.

Still on the bucket list. If I told my wife I needed a another rod/reel, I'd be in the dog house for sure.

You can skip the rowing machine at the gym.

Welcome! You've got some lakes holding some real Hawgs there in Ar-Kansas. I try to haul my kayak over there at least once a year.

In 23 days it will be Veterans Day. Honor them, honor each other.

I use to use those plastic hook bonnets/keepers, but keeping up with different sizes, colors was a hassle. I guess I could give the rubber bands a shot. (or try the Bass Mafia )

I also fish from a kayak and have been using the Plano 3700 Deep. However, as you can see from the picture, I have to play the game when trying to take out just one bait. I've been looking at that Bass Mafia 3700 Deep as a solution for some time now, but my concern is if it is truly waterproof/water tight. I know the Plano is and it also floats, even when loaded with baits. I can not find any reviews stating that the Bass Mafia box floats. I guess I could go ahead and drop the coin on the Bass Mafia and test it myself and them use the return label if it doesn't pass. I really do like how the Bass Mafia box organizes baits.

You bet. I've had a lot of luck with the Gunfish. I wish MB would develop a Diamante with the same mouth.

It's not fair.

It is no longer a bait, it is a Holy Relic.

I've been wanting to show you this one @A-Jay. Been going through the man cave and finally found it. I carried this one to a tackle show in Japan few years back and had the man himself (Yuki Ito) autograph it for me. Think I better have a shadow box frame made so I don't misplace it again.

Only 50 yards to the lake and then... Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge

I see on TW where they will have the Lucky Craft BDS 3, November 29th. Spring or fall, that Delta Craw was good to me. I hope they'll eventually stock the Spring Craw.

If you only knew how bad it can be... I've been collecting antique/vintage lures since the late 1960s and when I did an inventory for the insurance company about 30 years ago, I had 6000+. (Doesn't include lures made since 1985.) Wife thinks I'm crazy, but I told her those lures are going to be part of her retirement when I'm gone.

I hear ya, and if that doesn't scare them, a piledriver followed by a rear naked choke should do it.

They sell and rent kayaks and also have tackle. (Free coffee too.)

I guess my "Smart Home" isn't that smart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P0rSnt2HSU&index=3&list=PLeyJPHbRnGaZmzkCwy3-8ykUZm_8B9kKM

They are the 38120. Have you seen the Torqeedo 403C? It's a 29V system and they claim it has a range of 120 km/74.5 mi range at low speed. Judging from the size and weight of the battery pack I'm sure they are using LifePO. I would love to get my hands on one so I could take it apart and see how it is configured. If I was a betting man I would bet that it is built like the batteries used in electric cars, only smaller, they are using 38120 or 40152 cells.

Hey Gundog, should you ever wander into Five Mountain Outfitters in Shickshinny, tell the owner, Brian Swingle, I said hi.
