Re: How did my last cast go, you ask...?

Zander's backlash from the Steez frog rod review was a doozy too!

Re: NRX 853 vs 893 c

Personally, I prefer a slightly more powerful rod for the application intended. I have both the 853 and 893 and would actually suggest the 894 over the other two, especially if you're gonna be in any cover. I fish the Ca delta, so there's lots of grass and other vegetation, so we need to control the...

Re: Lew's Team HM85 Speed Stick Series Cranking Rods

I, too, got mine on sale at American Legacy for about $75. I was disappointed also on the thickness of the blank. Jeez, it's the biggest diameter I've ever encountered. I believe mine is about 7 feet long. Never actually makes it to the boat. Feels like a tree branch. I could see it as a catfish ro...

Re: Had to protest my TW charge

A friend of mine has been black listed from TW for a dispute. Also a "he said/she said" debate. He's provided bank charge statements and spoken to a manager w/o resolution. Shame cause TW has been 100% good to me and most others.

Sorry to hear of your situation.

Re: What's your thoughts on bed fishing?

Noble idea. But a bed fish caught in a tournament has 100% better chances of survival than an angler that keeps the bass to eat. Don't make out a tournament angler to be a villian for bed fishing in order to be competitive when they ultimately release the fish after weigh in. And I will disagree th...

Re: Zillion-TWS ... TW taking Preorders

The zillion TWS that I tinkered with did not have micro click spool tension knob. Perhaps production model will. You would be the first capt1....

Re: Powell 703CB Glass?

I flip wacky rigged Senkos with this hook and have landed bass over 7lbs in cover. I like them.
