It is obvious to me I am one of those guys who didn't get Hippie's sense of humor.
Having said that, watching him get his dumb azz run off this site is absolutely HILARIOUS!
I don't care who you are, that's some funny $hit.

Art...I agree 100% with your second paragraph. As for Dan closing...selfishly, it is not a good situation. After sending him six reels last year, I knew I would never look to send a Shimano reel anywhere else. I don't know Dan well...just know how he treated me and my equipment. Sure hope he recons...

Stretch...Don is a long way from being old and I don't see where he bashed anyone...although it appears he did think Mike's comments were funny.
I'm guessing you read about as well as you write.

I had a problem with a couple of the old bottles evaporating, but Will took care of me without any issues as he has stated in this thread. I have had no problems with the new bottles, but I am careful about keeping them out of the heat.

Mattlure HardGill in slow-sink...can be easily waked on a slow retrieve and fished at a variety of depths. It can also be slow-rolled, twitched eradically, burned and ripped.
Extremely versatile.

I was a "G. Loomis guy" for close to 20 years...figured I always would be. Don't get me wrong, still own a passel of them and I still use them every outing. Having said that, the last five sticks I have purchased have been from Dobyns. Looking at buying two more in the near future. Started...

No one can give you an accurate answer unless you are more specific about the types/size of baits you want to throw, but I agree with most of the info already posted. Best bang for your buck...Okuma GS 711 series...best all around (as in ...if you could only own one) swimbait rod...Dobyns 795...most...

bassdaddy

Since the sizes are done in groups I would suggest sizing up if you are at the top of the scale. For example...I wear an 11/11.5 and I recently purchased two pair of the size 12-15. They fit perfectly especially when I wear wool socks under them. If I would have gone with the next smaller size I do ...

Loomis CBR 906 MH

I bought the Dobyn's 795 specifically to throw that size/type bait. Liked the stick so much I ended up buying two more of them.

No order except for the first one...

Mattlure HardGill in slow-sink

Hud...6 inch weedless...and the 8 inch version when Ken releases it

Bull Shad

Lunker Punker...any of them

Rising Son...6 or 8 inch

Wake Jr.

I have fished the Dredger twice. First time no bites, but in all honesty I wasn't in the water conditions/depth I bought the lure for. Used it again this afternoon and I'm going to make a statement I have never made about a lipped crank bait... I got hit on the fall. I threw it into 25 feet of water...

Don...my prayers to you and your family. May this challenge pass quickly and allow you to do the things that make you happy. I appreciate the help you have given me and so many others over the years. You are absoluely one of the good guys.

Because of the inherent issues that have come along with mono-type lines in the past I have never been a very big fan of the stuff. But having said that, I use Sunline Shooter Defier in 22# test on the majority of my swimbait reels and it has performed flawlessly for nearly two years. I can see wher...

Just wanted to give a public shout out to Daniel at Fisherman's Warehouse for going way above and beyond the call of duty to make sure my order arrived today before I left for vacation tomorrow morning. It was an extaordinary display of customer service that seems to be entirely too rare these days....

I guess we would have to define "handful", but there are many more caught than reported...especially down south.

Didn't see a bad suggestion as far as the rod goes.

Nico Raffo 12.0

I've been throwing them a bunch for four or five weeks. The pocket and/or bait body has not torn at all on the two I have used, but the "skin" doesn't seem to be as resilient as their other baits and Mend-it won't help that situation. The hook-up ratio has been an interesting learning curv...

bassdaddy

I have it in both the 8 and 6 inch models. Esthetically, they look great and they both swim as well as expected. I always liked the action of the original soft platinums, but not the lack of resilience. I have caught five fish on the larger model and one on the 6 inch (yes, I'm keeping track for the...

bassdaddy

Dan...thank you for the great service. I sent you five reels last Friday...not great timing on my part...but you still had them back to me on Wednesday. I've only used two of the reels you worked on, but I'm way good with the the guys who have said, "better the new". I'm not really sure be...

Good luck with this endeavor. Hopefully you will get this magazine up and running efficiently. On the bright side, you don't have to do much to out do past performance as it has been a joke from an editorial and delivery standpoint.

bassdaddy

Hope you approve of the edit.

bassdaddy

I can experience the "joy of the outdoors" without putting up an additional $165. If someone wants me to put up money to do so, I'd appreciate knowing about the payback

bassdaddy

I might...but the decision will be made after you answer the question.

Defending who? What topic ? Everyone knows what story?

I knew someone would continue this thread. Some people just cant let topics go

bassdaddy

Justin
Don't you love it when someone puts up a post and declares a topic should be dropped? Didn't he just continue the topic with his follow-up post?

I thought we used A LOT of discretion.

I'm with you.

I'm betting many missed your point, but I assure you I did not

RMARX Yes, the Magnum...and they look MUCH better when you're holding them than on their site. Absolutely pristine. I'm a long time loyal Hud guy, but these Magnums are impressive baits as far as action and aesthetics. The BaitSmith guys went to the trouble of adding some excellent gill work so ther...

bassdaddy

RMARX If you're looking for a larger version of a soft-bait similar to a Hud you might want to check out the SmithBait 9 1/2 inch version of their trout bait. I got one a couple weeks ago. If Ken made one that size I would have certainly bought it from him. It is an incredible looking/swimming bait....

bassdaddy

I have had days when they just absolutely wore out an 8 inch Osprey swim bait in a carp pattern. I just assumed it was a favorite item on the bass menu.

bassdaddy

All I said was nobody ever offered to replace my bad bottles until Will offered. Thank you Will.

bassdaddy

I was talking about that guy who used to deny there was a problem. Obviously we're talking about two different guys. Kudos to your guy.

bassdaddy

As many of you, I had a problem with Mend-it gelling in the old style bottle. The last owner didn't seem to be too concerned with the issue, but I can tell you personally the new owner, Will, is more than willing to help make it right. This guy is unbelievable. It's absolutely awesome to find this k...

At least we don't have to listen Tom Leogrande and his 47 weak-ass excuses as to why the mag always came late.

Ask Bill.

Although I have hung some good fish swimming a Mattlure BG bait, I couldn't agree more with the poster who suggested to fish it like a jig. Highly effective...even in deep water. They are also excellent baits to skip under docks and then "walk" slowly back to the boats. I have been very su...

You can order them through Hi's Tackle Box. No more rolling BassTrix.

When somenone asks you what your favorite color is and your answer is, "either junebug or green pumpkin".

Nice fish...I'm glad someone got bit. Not only could I not catch them, I couldn't even find anyone who said they got bit.
I know it will get better in time, but darn that was a tough day.

Of course the seller listed is 3:16 Bait Company...I'm not so sure Mickey had anything to do with jacking those bids up. I'm glad they rectified the situation though.

One of the p/t jobs I worked while going through college was at the old Tower of Sports. Every Friday I would just cash my check and hand it back over to the owner of the store as a payment on my tab. I have abolutely no complaints because he let us by our hunting and fishing gear for cost plus 10%....

For what it's worth...a couple months ago I called Daniel and ordered a trolling motor from them. It was on my doorstep two days later. I live just outside of Sacramento. I guess I could have driven to town to buy it, but I saved about $10 in fuel and a hour and a half of my time. Keep up the good w...

bassdaddy

I thought the guys in the HBC could use any bait they wanted to. Your post makes it sound like a swimbait tourney, but I've talked to some guys who thought it might be won with a dropshot rig. The fact the your event requires swimbaits is quite a distinction between the two events...and a good one. ...

bassdaddy

There's not a doubt in my mind that you will put on an awesome event...I was just checking for the sake of the payout.
Thank you for responding.
