Pft, we all know everything made in China is garbage! /sarcasm.

There's a big difference between an Avid and the Premier lines... I suggest you pick one up and fish it... I snapped an Avid last year while fishing plastics for big pike in the spring, broke about 5 inches above the handle (Gave me a nice bloody lip at the same time).. Packed it up, shipped it to St.Croix and I had a new rod inside of 3 weeks. Why would I buy anything else with service like that? You're also making quite a big assumption that because someone broke their rod, they must not be takimng care of it, or lack some sort of maturity..... I'll cut you some slack though, old timers rarely ever change their minds I'll also send this rod back if it breaks again, what's there to be embarrassed about? 'Sorry St.Croix, I snapped my rod in a big snake, please don't laugh at me'... LOL!!!

Regardless of rod, get one with a lifetime warranty. St.Croix Avid would probably fit the bill just fine in that price range.

They were doing a lot less work chucking spoons then you were, lol. Give me a rod that's 3ft longer and I'll easily outcast someone with a 6'6 or 7ft spinning rod, it's not even a contest but it's not all about casting distance either.. It also comes down to the fight as well.. A long rod is going to help a lot more when you get a screaming 30lb chromer on...

Dan, that first pic is off the hook!!! Absolutely fantastic!

This definitely isn't a salmon rig.. You can pick up a cheap 10'6 Shimano Convergence for $70 that will give you a tonne more distance then a 6'6 spinning rod will... Everything else in that list will work just fine.

Look Ma! No hands!....................oh wait a second.

Mouse patterns, down 80ft over 100!! The new hotness for giant lakers! LOL!

Look at all those roe wagons! Good job Aaron!

Those are the kind of cows I'm looking for!

They aren't shy about anything, lol. I can't count the number of fish I caught at my feet with the mouse dangling in the water while I was doing something else and not paying attention.. I also caught at least a dozen fish on false casts.. The mouse would barely touch the water and they'd explode on it.. A fly fishermans dream for sure.

I think Sinclair and I agree, this is 100% an Atlantic. Case closed, move on people!

Star-Tron additive for both Yamahas on the boat + fuel water separator.

The only running was back to the canoe to grab the Remington 1187 Super Mag and fire 3 slugs over it's head to persuade it to go into the woods, instead of down the bank towards us. In hind sight, I probably should have grabbed the camera instead of the gun after talking to the local natives about our encounter. Lots of polar bear spottings at that specific spot, I'm sure we weren't the first humans it's seen. As far as fish, here's a teaser.

Regardless of the mouth, that's a largie no doubt about it.

Monoprice.com for any of your cable needs!!!!

Great pic Dan!

Ardagh to BB Point a straight shot over (or under) the highway would be perfect. It would get rid of that 3rd light (At Essa/BB Point) which is pretty much the cause of all the backups anyhow.. Tt's wishful thinking though, lol!

It makes perfect sense. Get off at Mapleview or Innisfil beach road a quick trip down Sideroad 5 (Veterans) and you are there. New turning lanes for the NB 400 on Mapleview thanks to the completed construction, so much better then Essa Rd.. That intersection is horrible already, even with nothing special going on, it takes 10 mins to get from Ardagh to BB Point road most days anytime after 4pm. Whatever civil engineer designed that needs to be fired, lol.

Please no.. That Essa/Ardagh/400/BB Point intersection is bad enough as it is, lol! Put it in the south end off Mapleview, lots of space down there

Lots of OPP on the Moonstone on/off ramps today My guess is waiting for someone to drive by after that celebratory beer, lol.

Upconverting doesn't do anything... If it's a DVD, 480p is the best you'll get.. I love my Panasonic VT.. Best TV I've ever owned.

At least we know who the meat hunters are, lol! BB, with your keep ratio and my release ratio, we even out perfectly!

I wear these.. http://www.mauijim.com/peahi-7184.html

That's bigger then any largemouth I've ever caught, lol!
