I caught a golf club once, hooked it in the rubber handle.

Go to the line spooling clinic that most tackle stores have. Our local shop just had Berkley braid on for 5 cents/foot would have cost $3.30 for each reel. 8 reels would have cost almost the same as one spool from CT.

These two maps will give you a good idea of where to drift. http://www.outdoorsniagara.com/Maps.htm

I saw that show too. They look amazing and the ability to add or take away weights to vary the action makes them versatile. $20 for a swimbait is a good price.

I picked up a couple of these viper spoons for my up coming Pike Tournament. Similar to the Spoon and twister but you can add any plastic to it.

I checked out the line, it looks decent, The product has been in the U.S. for a quite a while but since Shimano bought Powerpro , the Canadian distributor chose to promote the new line. It did sell well. Spider Thread is a completely different company than Spider Wire.

Accuracy of casts is the big benefit to throwing any lure on a baitcaster. Yes you can skip a dock with a spinning rodeasier but try to cast to a precise point and you have no control. Using a heavier rod allows you to horse a fish out of cover and a baitcasting reel has quicker line pick-up to get a fish away from trouble and to the boat quicker. Open water fishing, I agree spinning would get the job done. I'm sure Tiger Woods could play a whole round of golf with just a 9 iron and still shoot great but give him the proper tools and look out!

I throw all my senkos on a Quantum PT Med Hvy baitcaster with no problems. You just have to dial in the reel correctly.

I know Blue Water optics does prescription glasses and the price club does polarized lenses in some styles. http://www.bluewateroptics.com/

It's the prize for winning the BASSmaster classic. They had to qualify to get there and then to win it all is a huge accomplishment. The top prize in the regular season T's is $100,000.

Skeet Reese wins!!

It does say "The fish appears to have broken the existing world record for a tiger muskie caught with a tip-up, " so it is only a tip up record and not a world record for all angling types? Still beautiful markings.
