  1. I recommend LeBarons for a Humminbird Piranha 220 sonar for $99. Then get the 12volt battery + charger for $37. A plastic Dry Box can be used to house it all.
  2. GLoomis is built like a tank. For big guys only. http://www.centerpinangling.com/centerpinreels.html
  3. Showoff! Y'all must be rich! Here's my new place.. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a229/03T...an-to-step9.jpg
  4. It will be $200/barrel in two years..so start savin' yer empties.
  5. Buy used like has been mentioned already. What rod you buy determines what reel to get for balance. Join the Floatboard for details..
  6. Every spare nickel! can you say "Upgrading".

    The older we get the more important it is to incorporate exercise into our daily routine. This is necessary to maintain cardiovascular health and muscle mass. Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program! Scroll Down. NOW SCROLL UP.. GOOD! That's enough for the first day. Great job! Have a glass of beer.
  12. This is like a Physics test..lol. Obviously, if the float is already downstream of your hook, the bite will be instantly apparent. So, that means we should use the minimum amount of weight to sink the bait down to the fish. The float should basically drag the bait along behind it.
  13. Both pix above illustrate what I'm saying. The float won't actually get pulled under until it has PAST the fish. BUT..the fish has had time to chew & spit the bag already. Also..slowing the float speed manually is called "Checking".
  14. Wrong. If the fly is ahead of the float downstream, the fish can chew on it & you won't even know it's there..
  15. Trotting your float will cause you to miss many hits! By the time the fish has mouthed your bait, your float has missed the action on a slack line. Now you know why you find so many torn roe-bags that you never knew where crushed by a trout!
  16. The reel you get depends on the rod you use. The rod you use depends on the river/s you fish. For the Niagara I would use the heavy GLoomis & a meatstick. For the Ganny I would want a lighter reel & mid-flex rod of 13'. For the Catt, I would use a light set-up for the smaller fish there. You can add weights to the rod-butt for balance or use a sliding-ring rod handle to move the reel to the best balance point. How much $$$ you want to blow is your only limit. Tons of used deals abound. A custom rod adds a nice flair.
  17. I'd toss small spoons..least ya can keep warm reeling..
  18. I say "Whoa Baby, we're gonna need a bigger boat!" or on the tribs.."Fish On"
  19. Rock 'n Roll ain't noise pollution! I've seen 'em at the Ex!
  20. You can also go into your Controls & use your IGNORE list & add the names of people you cannot relate to. This cuts down on angry flame wars..sorta..
