I have a number of blanks here for myself and never seem to find time to work on them. Well after having this particular blank in my possession for almost a year I finally found time to get working on it the last few days. It's a 12' CTS rated 6-10 tied in a twist for a baitcast steelhead set up. It's not done yet but I've made progress on the bottom section, finally! Fuji SiC guides, custom wood by my buddy John Collina and wrapped in candy apple red with silver and red metallics. The wood still needs to be polished up but it's finally coming together. Hopefully I'll get a chance to test 'er out before things freeze up.

Run away and run fast.

Bloody awesome! Great machine Simon, have a great winter season and please be safe.

What a bunch of nonsense. If anyone wants to discuss it seriously go ahead and start a new thread, Snidley won't be involved. My apologies to Ron.

Rare? Seriously?

It's a bandaid solution at best and won't stem the bleeding. Many will hurt with a loss of income while the bleeding continues, I don't think it's hard to see where the problem lies!

Just came across this..... Peter Gabriel/Genesis enhanced in HD, it's an hour long but worth watching if your old like me. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_FBcz3tBH74" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

No need to apologize Frankie for speaking your mind.

The short answer is yes, I did give up my vehicle and all associated costs. I've also never gone without food for me and the kids, if I had the boat would be gone too and it has come close but the vehicle was the money pit. As for mandating snow tires, no I don't agree but after having gone without them for over 30 years then installing some several years back I'm now convinced they're worth it. I can't put a dollar value on my daughters safety.

Maybe they should give up their vehicle, maintenance costs, fuel costs and insurance costs. Might not only save their lives but also the lives of others....

Nothing better than fresh chromers.

Last week I had the winters tires (all four) put on both my daughters vehicles as always. Worth their weight in gold in my opinion.

Two knots is all I've used float fishing for over 30 years. Triple Surgeon knot to connect main to leader and Trilene knot to the hook, why complicate it?

Trip to the past. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GM-3tBhWaew" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

What I need to catch fish and what I prefer to use to catch fish are entirely different things.

Glad to hear it Tony. I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and new friends.

Awesome footage/compilation Ben, good tune as well. Thanks for putting it together.

I think I'll stock up tonight.

A couple of sweet fish Jay. Certainly leaves me hoping I get on the ice this year, been too long!

I believe we're done with this one. Keep your moral compass straight and true, keep an open mind, exercise tolerance and understanding for those who's opinions may vary from your own. You may even find friends you never knew existed or perhaps even "bigfoot."

Congrats to your son, tank of a perch and a great mount too.

Religion was created by man, not by God (any God) and a difference of religious beliefs has been (still is) fodder for the most destructive/violent acts against mankind on the planet! Of course that's just an opinion.
