I don't have much to add to Craig's review other than I completely agree with his assessments. I have the largemouth rod and love it.
The thing that most people don't realize is the weight of...
I use an el cheapo (energizer) with a pivoting head all the time...it works fine
I like the "Fun Factor" scale at the bottom...that's the most important information on the sheet...
Thanks for sharing
excellent article...you're still just fishin'
Spinner1,
Great photos, as usual. Beautiful car and setting.
So what camera & glass are you using?
Learning photography has been a lifelong dream. Two years ago I finally...
Bead in front of or behind the hackle? Why?

I've never caught one with such a pronounced humped head as this bluegill. His eye was huge as well. From what I have read it's an old male bluegill aka "stump knocker". He had a nasty scar on his...
I don't think of myself as a great caster nor am I remotely qualified to teach anyone about casting. But when I commited to learning how to double haul, my distance casting improved 10-fold. It was...
Very creative...I will be doing this soon.
Excellent idea.
On my 8wt I use a loop to loop connection. My loops are double surgeons. My leader typically ends up being about 3-4' of 12# floro when I use my 350 grain sinking line as I was this weekend. ...
Thanks for the response Dave. Your suggestions give me several other things to try instead of running out of options after a slowdown with only two patterns.
We're going to try them at night as...
Gonna try to catch some stripers during their annual spawning run up the Roanoke River here in North Carolina next weekend. From what I understand these are primarily saltwater fish that come in to...
I finally found a big bluegill factory...these were all caught in about 2 hours on a rubber leg dragon

I've had a pair of Cabelas Master Guide boots (too heavy) and recently a pair of Orvis Wet wading shoes. Neither have been even remotely comfortable when my fishing requires really long walks or 6-7...
ditto the peak.
I spin my bass bugs on Mustad 3366s up to a 2/0. The standard jaws hold those big hooks rock steady. I can't speak much for small hooks (<18s)...I just don't tie much small...
Buddy,
Fantastic flies...
What size parachute chord are you using?
I really likey...So what's the recipe??
I don't know of any boards (faol is the only board I frequent)but I live and fish around Raleigh. It has a decent supply of city run lakes that you can rent jon boats, canoes, or paddle boats. I...
jcertain,
You got to hook-up, see, touch, feel that hawg. The big ones that break you off and you never see 'em again really get my goat. The image of that brookie is etched in your...
Joe,
My canoe (old town predator) is made out of that plastic (polythylene) stuff. Tough as nails, heavy as lead....
In my area there are a number of public lakes and ponds. So my preferred method of fishing is from a canoe. I have slowly outfitted my canoe for fishing.
In an effort to speed up the learning...
Thanks for all the input guys.
With some new knowledge, I returned to my pond Sunday armed with a crease fly and a crappie candy dropped about 3' behind it. An hour later I had brought to hand...
I fished the neighborhood pond this evening. I picked up a nice bass on a top water chartruese stealth bomber. After that bass, I missed about 10 other bites which looked like Crappies just rolling...
