  1. Cathing bass in Florida after a cold front is near impossible (MYTH)
  2. Sam did you mean to say lay mono first if using braid, cause if you put braid down first than mono it will slip. My favorite cranking line is McCoy Mean Green lays down smooth, cast great and has good abrasion resistance. Give it a try its awesome line.
  3. So far so good, I too looked at the FastFire option for the MTAC and decided against it since I can always turn my scope down to 1.5x (I bought the 1.5 x 6) and effectively have a lighted sight without need for red dot. So if you are only sticking to low magnification I would recommend against getting the fastfire mounted on top of it, unless you simple want a backup to the traditional magnified scope and even then you may want it mount at an angle not on top of the scope, since it isn't ideal to have it much higher than the MTAC is with the PERP mount, you will have to lift your head and not get a good cheek weld, so you may be better off with an angled mount. As far as optical quality, it is very clear no noticeable edge distortion on 6x power, have not used it in low light conditions or compared it to some of my other scopes Zeiss Conquest, Bushnell Elite, Burris Tactical, and Kahles, but for its intended use it seems like it will perform great. I'll know more once I get to use it and run some rounds through it and play around with the knobs to zero it. Hopefully it performs as well as my older Burris XTR, which I love and is my go to hunting scope 4.5x - 14x. PERP mount is perfect, but a bit heavy.
  4. I reload, but mostly shotgun ammo for duck and doves. I am about to go all in and get a reloading press, I mostly shoot .40, .308. .223, and now .300 AAC. I don't shoot enough to merit a progressive press.
  5. Sold my Bushmaster (5.56/.223) to a my hunting lease buddy to acquiring a quality AR. After doing some research, I choose this Ambush arms AR in the .300 AAC "Blackout/Whisper Caliber" Has enough punch within 200 yards so it is doubling as my new bush rifle for hogs and deer using 110 Grain Barnes Vortex, a silenced hole puncher for fun at the range, can use heavier 200 grain + bullets in subsonic mode and doubles as a tactical defense weapon in case preppers are right , lol. The can hanging off it is a Thunder Beast silencer, is not mine, going to try some different ones out before settling on one and putting in for my tax stamp. Choose to put a Burris MTAC 1.5x6 for all around use, using a Burris PERP mount. Any of you guys shoot suppressors, use a 300 Blackout, or have a Daniel Defense? https://ambushfirearms.com/ A little about the 300 Blackout round for those of you interested.
  6. OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE! AIRBORNE DROPLET TRANSMISSION DOES OCCUR What perplexes me is that as a biologist, in biology 101 you learn that viruses spread via aromatized sneeze particles! So it is not unheard of to become infected from being in close proximity to someone that sneezes and is infected with the virus and is in the state of viral shedding. So yes, it can become airborne via a sneeze! However, I don't think we will have an American outbreak worth mentioning. Just don't let the media or poliiticans convince you that you cannot catch it via airborne means. "We found EBOV to be shed in a wide variety of bodily fluids during the acute phase of illness, including saliva, breast milk, stool, and tears. In most cases, the infected bodily fluid was not visibly contaminated by blood." Source: http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/196/Supplement_2/S142.full Read article below on how your sneeze particles travel in an airplane http://www.popsci.com/article/science/how-sneeze-particles-travel-inside-airplane CDC admits that it is possible: Source: http://nypost.com/2014/10/29/cdc-admits-droplets-from-a-sneeze-could-spread-ebola/ Old research article on how airborne droplets can spread virus: http://healthmap.org/site/diseasedaily/article/pigs-monkeys-ebola-goes-airborne-112112 So in the true scientific definition of a pure airborne virus, where the virus doesn't need to be encased in a droplet particle and can survive on its own, most likely Ebola cannot be spread, but encased in aromatized sneeze particles it can and does! If it were not so easily spread and so deadly then why do you think healthcare workers and our government goes through such extreme safety measures as donning full body suits when working with or around infected patients. They just don't want to create a hugh public panic, but don't be fooled it is a big deal. I wish a journalist would ask one of these government agents if they would feel safe if someone with ebola sneezed and they were on the opposite end of the room with no protection.
  7. Throw the visor off coach, its O.K!
  8. Need to find some more gold digging areas like S. Beach. lol!
  9. Why you like them? Sweet aren't they! Lets just say its something we are working on releasing soon at Hawgtech, still in prototype testing phase...send me a PM if you want further details, shhhh!
  10. Come on Raul, lol, its not exactly a fair comparision! Ford Fiesta price is $14,400 vs Rolls Royce Ghost price of $250,000 a 17x multiplier. If I was comparing a Daiwa Laguna ($59) to a tuned out Daiwa such as a MegaBass Hyper Lariat ($750), I would see your point. Price point on the older model Zilllion is $238 vs $199 for a Type R Tatula and $148 for the basic Tatula. Therefore it should be in the mix, like I said Daiwa is releasing the newer Zillion and it will have oversized carbon washers, TWS line guide, and lighter weight frame to displace the old model, some of those features are currently found on the newer Tatula. Zillion Type R on top Zillion Coastal Edition in middle and a Tatula Type R on the bottom
  11. I have basically kept my Zillion Type R and my Saltwater Series Zillion and sold off my other 2 Zillions, after trying the Tatula. I am not saying I would recommend it over the new upcoming Zillion or a Type R, only the old Zillion. I have a new Tatula Type R and have been blown away by its peformance casting wise and its lighter weight when compared to my tank tough and heavy Zillion. Don't get me wrong the Zillion is a great higher end reel and I am sure the new Zillion TWS 100H will surpass the Tatula especially since the price point is significantly higher. Nevertheless, it should be considered as a contender for a reel to match Dypsis IMX 844C!
  12. Nothing like a high end exotic car's tone. My favorite sounding exotic is the Mclaren. Most Ferraris if not all Ferraris I've heard have a sweet tone also! Want a supercar?
  13. Consider a Tatula over the old Zillion. As far as the Shimanos mentioned the lighter Chronarch would be my choice.
  14. NFL vs US (The general population). Overall they are are better behaved! http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/the-rate-of-domestic-violence-arrests-among-nfl-players/
  15. Bow and arrow release works well on rocks, oyster beds, limestone, and other hard surfaces, but soft wood structure going the opposite way works best.
  16. From my experience its pretty much a death sentence most of the time.
  17. If I were in the market for a quality bass boat, I would seriously consider Bass Cat boats. When shopping for boats, make sure you can test drive it and put a fulls day fishing in on one to see what you do/don't like and compare it to others. Beware of value boat manufactures, not because they are bad boats, but when you look closely at components (outboard motor type, trolling motor, electronics, deck hardware, compartment hinges, electronic wiring, battery types, water pump types, etc), craftsmanship (gel coat thickness/quality, do the lids close correctly, is it easy to get to water pumps, are systems well engineered or gimmicky, etc) , trailer quality (Torsion axle vs. suspension, types of rims, brakes or no brakes, galvanized or aluminum, painted or some type of durable coating, hub type, tire size and load rating) , etc, that is where the manufacture cuts cost and entice those into pulling the trigger on a less expensive boat. Last, but not least make sure if you don't service the boat yourself that you are close enough to the dealer for service or at least have a local marina that you trust have the boat serviced for you. No sense in choosing an Bass Cat over a Ranger/Skeeter/Charger etc. if the nearest dealer for Bass Cat is 3 hours away, when you can get service less than 30 minutes away. At the lower end of your budget you could get a nice Bass Cat Sabre w/150HP and have money left over or in the middle you could get a Bass Cat Eyra with a 200HP outboard.
  18. Noles alumnus and fan here also. It wasn't pretty, but OSU has a good team! Hopefully Winston doesn't try to force passes like he did in other games, but I think that OSU is a very good team, fortunately their weak schedule will help bring them back to Dallas.
  19. Way to go Mike and Leo!
  20. Nice! You'll soon find out that 400 HP ain't enough and you'll be shopping for one of these: http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/mc/superchargers/chevy-camaro.shtml Neighbor has the exact same car, but in white with orange trim and he put the supercharger on it, WOW!
  21. SEC Championship Game Bama vs GA (Bama Wins) ACC Championship Game FSU vs. NC (FSU Wins) Big Ten Michigan St. vs. Wisconsin (Spartans take it) Big 12 Oklahoma Baylor or Texas (Sooners win it) Pac 12 Ducks? Really don't follow the conference very much, NCAA Champion FSU (weak schedule and all as long as a booster kicks in and keeps Winston fed with some crabs they will prevail) NFL Denver is too good not to make it back as AFC champion! Spoiler alert! Green Bay Packers as NFC Champion, welcome back Aaron! Those are my predictions and I am sticking to them, lets revisit thread during Championship Games!
  22. Shimano Crucial Crankbait Series
  23. http://www.bloomberg.com/video/robot-arm-can-catch-flying-objects-with-super-fast-speed-Eel82DayQv~km3l0jEPwDw.html Pretty cool link, I came across the other day. A few seconds of entertainment, enjoy!
  24. Budget combo, don't overlook the Carbonlite Rods from BPS (you can find for $99 on sale, 7-7'6" med-hvy to hvy with a quick fast action tip will do. Fast reel, get a Tatula from Ebay cheap (Less than $110) and string some 50-60lb braid, SuperSlick or Samurai and start your frog addiction! All for less than $210!
  25. I usually recommend the 94mm Hawg Handle for Flipipng and Pitching, the longer 102MM that you have in your picture is what I use primarily for moving baits.
