Re: Holy Smokes!

It has been 14 yrs for my Phillies - and we are far from done yet.

Congrats to the Rockies I am glad they will be able to play 3 or 4 more games before their season comes to a close :D

Re: So many lures - so little time

I usually wade with one rod - a 6' St. Croix Legend Elite and Shimano Sedona (2500FB) reel (spinning). Yeah I know, the rod far outclasses the reel, but out of all the reels I tried this one balances best with the rod. It will be time to upgrade my reel for this rod as I have pretty much worn the re...

Re: Another fine day on the River

Good deal on finding those cooler water Smallies - the temps are dropping here and the smallie action has really slowed down.

Do you find that a slower presentation helps?

Are the fish still in the fast water or have they moved to deeper holes for you?

Re: So many lures - so little time

I guess I need a few more rods, LOL

I have been doing a lot of wading so the multi rod thing is not an option

So many lures - so little time

I fish a lot - like almost every day right now. I have piles of lures (not even lclose to what the members here have however :o ) and I fish with a few guys who have even more lures. I find that I rarely use all but four or five different lures in any given day and usually fish either my own handmad...

Re: Quick braid question.

I was also wondering if I should put mono backing on my reel. For me that all depends on the capacity of the reel and type of fishing that I plan to do with it. The backing does a few things: As you let line out, the diameter of the spool decreases (duh!) this changes the ratio. For say offshore bo...

Re: Quick braid question.

I have used all three and each has there advantages and disadvantages ( I know, this does not really help)

I like Power Pro, I am used to it, get a really smooth cast and it last forever.

Re: Stupid is as stupid does

I second the opinion that it broke your 8lb test line unless there was a weak spot or kink in the line. You have to remember that a fish in the water (even a giant fish) is buoyant, this means that you are not getting the dry weight of the fish. It is possible (and often done) to catch giant fish on...
