and so you have been told I have a tube at home for just about anything because it works so well.

what are you doing up now on a Sunday? LOL I have my son's hockey at 10 and daughters a 4:30, I might sneek in a fish inbetwen if you can... The new 2011/2012 rod's are real sharp looking but I just don't care for the EVA grip all that much.

Hey all. So I picked up a brand new Compre drop shot rod, a Stadic FJ 2500 and a Sellus rod recently and here is my review on them. The new FJ, I haven't even cast this thing yet but the looks and feel of it is just stellar! Same can be said for the 2011/2012 Compre rod's. the two together have the best ballance I have ever held. The Sellus on the other hand isn't what I was expecting. I ordered a 7' med rod and it feels like a mh rod and the grip is just set up wrong for a spinning rod. You need to have your whole hand infront of the spinning reel to have any of your fingers on the cork. I don't have small hands either so for anyone with a hand smaller then a large to xl glove this might not be for you as the only thing you will hold is your reel and the reel seat. Other then that, the rod does look nice for the price. I'm just glad it's a back-up to a back-up...

it's a D/S rod and will be used for jigging too. I'm going to go with braid but for now to test it out it has #8 mono on it. thanks all.

THANK YOU ALL!!!! I'm loving the feel of the new Compre DS rods and the new Stradic FJ2500 reel so I want to set it up just right. Cheers. For now, I had a new spool of #8 mono so to test it out I spooled it on. I will be getting #20 spiderwire stealth to replace it with a floro TBD later. Cheers! Geoff

That is what I was thinking too

Hey all. I can't decide what line to use for a bass/walleye dropshot combo. Do I go with 8LB mono or 20LB braid and floro leader? I'm undecided as I haven't used mono in years!

That's what I do too. Best advise is to make sure you have either the other wheel or something else under the car/van/truck that can stop it from falling down if the jack fails.

there are no real DOG's on the ice in the NHL but some players play like them...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I might just start doing that. my outing at Thanksgiving I did that for some reason and got my PB musky, go figure...

Hey, I know that rod and reel... you really got the hang of using the pin rather quickly from the reports too. good job! oh and that's a real thick and nice brown too.

so, what are you going to say to the people you take fishing in YOUR boat...

speak up as the MNR should know more then the average Joe

Have you been in to the 'stuff' in your avatar Dave?

I forgot Beef Jerkey when fishing with someone new.

As you have been in my boat, I too say this no matter where i am fishing (boat or shore) But if you catch one (anyone in the boat or with you for that matter) you get a free 5 min. extension of fishing time before you have to say it again. Other then that, make sure I have a lighter and smokes...

Hey all. Does anyone here know if a wheel (rim) is 5 x 112mm, will it fit on 5 x 114mm pattern car? Thanks. Geoff

It's been a while since I have listened to that one
