Greetings 007, Your right, seems like everyone is on the swimbait craze. First, swimbait fishing is not for all. I've been throwing the big plastics and wood baits for about 5 years. Baits are any where from 4" to 12", most over 6". For me, its the "pure rush" of hooking into a large fish. Though mo...

Ken, Boatless, I've tried for years to set up a combo for both spinning/fly, it nevers seems to workout. It may work great for spinning, but not have the backbone for fly. It may have the flexbility of a fly rod, but not for spinning. You get the picture. Worse thing is, I work for a fishing rod com...

Stan, Your right, I need to go fishing. 8) It's that time of year. Just maybe, I'll be able to finally break the 10 lbs mark. :twisted: BSP- I got an extra basstrix for you. I'll have to remember to bring it with me, when I had back out to the islands. Bass regards, Mel "Kahuna bass" Dark side swim ...

Greetings All, Skunked - Enjoy the trip. Hey, if the wife catches more and the biggest, it's all good. Remember: - Bass fishing in Texas, early spring - Awesome - On vacation, doing something you enjoy - Excellent - Bass fishing with the wife - Priceless :wink: Have a grea time!! BSP - What color Ba...

Skunked, Scary fact is, that I don't fish that much bass any more. Last year, I fished Clear Lake for 3 days and another 7 days in San Diego. I believe, I fished 5 days in Hawaii and that's it for fresh water fishing. (15 days total :cry: ). Hope to change that this year, but that ain't looking to g...

Greetings All, Currently on the road, with free time on my hands. I had plans on giving a Fred Hall Show report, but had to leave early on this trip. :( However, I did take some pictures of my swim bait lure collection. http://www.postimage.org/aV1YAkur.jpg http://www.postimage.org/aV1YAYoJ.jpg http...

Skunked, I really think you'll enjoy it. I'll check out your other reel next week at the Fred Hall Show in Long Beach. Daiwa always has a big display, with all thier factory reps. When you head out to Lake Fork next month, I strongly recommend some baits to fish for the spawning girls. Matt lure and...

Greetings, Skunked - Stopped by BPS this afternoon and checked out your reel. Excellent choice. For the price you paid, you got a reel that free spools great, smooth, and has great lines. If I didn't have so much tackle :twisted: , I too would have bought one. You can't beat the price, escpacially f...

Hey Skunked and 007, Bass Pro Shop is just a bad, bad, bad place. End result, more tackle to deal with :twisted: Nah, not really, but a great place after all. It's like going to Wally World!! Skunked - I didn't have time to check out your TD-pro reel, but I'll be back before I leave this week. I did...

Aloha Ken, I'm not sure if I'll be here, when your here(might be in Singapore, not sure yet). But if we can hook up, I might be able to take you bass fishing for a day. April and May is usually the time when the big girls(large mouth bass) start to spawn. It's about wading in the shallow's and looki...

Greetings All, Just got into Virginia, after a 2 day delay in Washington D.C., it's time to go shopping! We'll, maybe looking 8) Got see what will work for the Tuc's! After spending all this time on the main land, and freezing in the winter time. You sure can get spoiled, with all that beautiful wea...

Hey Stan, Might be heading out your way in March or April. Not sure which, but soon. By the way, I got some sweet utra lights for you. Can't wait for you to go "bend do"!! If your providing the big live bait stuff, I got to borrow that long heavy rod again (the one to rip the lips with!! :twisted: )...
