Re: POSTING TO CLASSIFIEDS

Maybe im a knucklehead, but it doesnt look like you can seperate north from south, reels from boats, or see thunbnail pictures of the ads without clicking on the ad itself in the new website. I gotta say that the update to the website is a major downgrade in my opinion. I used to come on the site al...

Re: what line size do you use for spooks?

I only use braid when i fish these baits. Not because its heavy duty, but because it floats. You want to be able to make long casts with these baits and cover alot of water. In addition, you typically want to "kill" the bait when it hits the water for 10-30 seconds before you start your re...

Re: Need a good cordless drill under $100

Ryobi makes a good product and its much less than the others. Unless your building houses, this drill should be fine. Had mine for almost 10 years and no problems. (under $100)

Re: Frogs takeing on water

Reaction Innovations SwampDonky rocks. Great action, durable, and can be walked like a spook. Takes in the least water of any frog i've fished. The little that it does I write off to frog fishing in general. Good luck!

Re: Bass Boat Stolen in Discovery Bay

You can get Lojack installed for under $300. Not a bad investment considering the price of boats and the gear we keep in them. We'll be keeping our eyes out for the Motherless SOBs down here in Ventura Co. Hope all goes well with your insurance.
