Who's talking about hiding? She's fully aware of my account. She just doesn't have access to it. If she wants access to it, then she can pay the mortgage, electric, water, cable, insurance, car, groceries, going out to dinner, gas, HOA, pest control, dog groomer and whatever bill we get. Remember, the two biggest things that break up relationships are SEX and MONEY. She controls the sex and I control the money. If she wants money then I get sex.

They may have only shocked up to a certain depth. There are plenty of 7 and 8 pounders in those canals, but I'm not telling what part of the canal, HAHAHA.

Do like us men, get your own account.

Very interesting and thank you for taking the time to post the article. Funny thing is, I just got in from fishing the C-51 canal. I caught 3 bass for 10 pounds, biggest weighing 4.51 pounds.

. Are you sure you weighed her right, he don't look an ounce over 4, lol. What did you get'er on?

I use Dirty jigs from 1/4 - 1 ounce. I primarily fish black/blue with Kalins or Rage trailers.

HaHaHa. It was worth at least $20 to somebody though.

An elderly woman walked into the Royal Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking to the president of the Bank because, she said, she had a lot of money. After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right) an employee took the elderly woman to the president's office. The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She placed her purse on his desk and replied, '$165,000'. The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money . The elderly woman replied that she made bets. The president was surprised and asked, 'What kind of bets?' The elderly woman replied, 'Well, I'll bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square.' The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was impossible to win a bet like that.The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at the president and said, 'Would you like to take my bet?' 'Certainly', replied the president. 'I bet you $25,000 that my testicles are not square.' 'Done', the elderly woman answered. 'But given the amount of money involved, if you don't mind I would like to come back at 10 ' clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness.' 'No problem', said the president of the Bank confidently. That night, the president became very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of the mirror examining his testicles, turning them this way and that, checking them over again and again until he was positive that no one could consider his testicles as square and reassuring himself that there was no way he could lose the bet. The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock the elderly woman arrived at the president's office with her lawyer and acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that the president's testicles were square. The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one made the day before. Then the elderly woman asked him to drop his pants etc. so that she and her lawyer could see clearly. The president was happy to oblige. The elderly woman came closer so she could see better and asked the president if she could touch them. 'Of course', said the president. 'Given the amount of money involved, you should be 100% sure.' The elderly woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly the president noticed that the lawyer was banging his head against the wall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that and she replied, 'Oh, it's probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 o'clock in the morning I would be holding the testicles of the President of the Royal Bank of Canada !'

7.5 - 10 inch rubber worm. Color choice (most lakes in S.Florida) would be black or purple.

Wow, I see what you mean. They didn't even finish coating the guide on the blue one. Totaly unacceptable. Does the hook keeper get in your way? I spend 3/4 of my time on the water flipping senkos and jigs underneath docks. The slack line somehow gets caught on the hook keeper after completing my flip/toss and it drives me fricking bananas.

A blonde suspects her boyfriend of cheating on her so she goes out a buys a handgun. The blonde goes to her boyfriend's house in hopes of catching the boyfriend in the act cheating. The blonde lets herself into the house with her spare key. She tiptoes down the hallway towards the suspected cheater's bedroom. As she gets closer to the bedroom, she can hear moaing sounds and becomes even more furious. The blonde barges into the bedroom and catches her boyfriend red-handed in the act of cheating with some hot chic. The blonde removes the handgun from her purse and puts it up to her own head. The blonde starts to squeeze the trigger when all of a sudden the boyfriend screams for her to stop. "Babe, no! Don't do it!" The distraught blonde pauses and say to the boyfriend "Shut your mouth because you're next!"

Jeb2- my mistake, when I said flawless I was refering to the wrap, color and finish. What kind of issues have you had with yours? Here's a thought we might take into consideration. I have seen and known several rod manufacturers use non-fishing people to wrap their rods. The wrappers are given the same size/length blank, a sheet of measurements and told to wrap each blank the same. These laborers get paid sometime less than minimum wage, ususally paid by the piece, so the faster they put a rod together the more they get paid. I'm not saying Loomis is doing this with their flagship rod but I wonder what qualifications the person has who is assembling these NRX rods. I know this is Loomis' first time going to the split grip and from what I heard, that seems to be the biggest issue with the reel seat. Here's my deal- I can assemble a rod that looks better than any of Loomis' rods and that fishes just as good , if not better. The problem is, I like their blanks and don't know where I can find them or a simular blank. The blanks, if sold to the public, probably cost a pretty penny and by the time you put all the hardware on it, youv'e spent close to what it cost for a manufactured one.

IMO, no soft plastic rod should be less than 7'. The 893 GLX is very sensitive and lightweight, yet has enough backbone at 7'5 to haul fish away from structure. The recoil guides took a little while for me to get use to but they are very durable. You can bend them without breaking them. The 893 also doubles for lightweight jigs, 1/4 ounce, and can even be used for deep diving cranks (10'+) or large spinnerbaits in a bind. The rod will cast a 5" Senko a country mile with 10-12 pound mono.

My two NRX's seem to be flawless, other than the one with the reel seat issue. I've had several GLX's and IMX's over the last 25 years and have never had any defects. Perhaps I'm one of the lucky ones. DVT's suggestion about having your own custom rod made is a good idea. I use to build my own rods, both fresh and heavy/lt salt. I haven't built rods in over 15 years and haven't kept up on the latest trends/equipment. Does anyone know if blanks can be purchased that are at least as sensitive and lightweight as the GLX, if not the NRX?

BCR893 X2. I had two 893 GLX Senko rods and they were the bomb. I highly recommend them.

Sorry to say, but all of you are wrong. That particular fish is called "Bass Bait." By far the best live bait there is for bass.

Brad balls or some flour/water mixture.

You ever tongue kissed someone? What about eating off plates or forks from restaurants? I bet the server or person wrapping the silverware in a napkin didn't wash their hands after going pee or poo.

I can't help you out on the ones you selected, but I fish with 3 Tornament Pros and love'em. Very fine reels. You can get them as low as 175 if u shop around.

I guess if all blue NRX rods were defected, then Loomis will be sending me a Green one. Not the case though. I don't believe the green replaces the blue. IMO it' just a different color to choose from. I believe the only rods that had reel seat problems were the ones produced during the first year or year and a half. They still sell the blue model, which has allegedly been fixed so I doubt the green one is a replacement. In any case, sht happens. No one is perfect, but at least loomis is taking care of the problem and making me a satisfied customer.

Man, what memories this brings back. I used to have one heck of a time trying to pee off the boat. I used to beg my dad to drop me off on shore just so I could pee, and most of the time he wouldn't. I could stand on the bow for an hour with Willie whippin in the wind but nothing would come out. I would try standing, kneeling and sitting down without succes. I might get a drop to come out and boy did it ever feel good, but then Willie would shut down. I guess I outgrew whatever it was keeping me from peeing off the boat because I have no problem now.

I wonder if women have the same problems us men have in the bathroom?

I just spoke to ShimanoLommis and guess what? Thay are sending me a shipping lable and are replacing the rod free of charge. They are even paying for the shipping. Customer service said they did have issues with the reel seat when the NRX series was first built but have since corrected the problem. Apparently my NRX's are from the original run. I'm surprised they haven't broken sooner, but then again I treat my rods better than with kid gloves. Customer service also said Icould send in my other NRX that hasn't broken yet or hold onto it until it does break. I have to check the purchase date to see if I purchased it before they made the corrections. I really enjoy fishing with the NRX, the sensitivity is beyond measurable. But like DVT said, they are expensive. I would considere a custom rod but I stopped building rods years ago and longer have any equipment nor have I kept up with who the reputable, good rod makers are in my area.

^ 893c JWR. I'll call loomis in the morning. I'm sure (hope) they'll take care of it at no charge.

I don't believe it's insecurity. It's just you other 10% have ulterior motives.
