All I can find is McClure will be open to locals. Found that on the Merced Irrigation District website.

Pappy

Love my Ultrex, the power steering is really nice when you have to get thru the weeds.

Pappy

Got one a couple of months ago and love it, just as fast as cable.

Pappy

Humminbird 360 degree imaging , trolling motor mount. $500.00

Pappy

2 year old 80lb. Fortrex 45" shaft runs great ! $600.00 firm

Pappy

Nice fish Sam, gotta love the 12" glide .

Pappy

GREAT fish Mitch !!!! They're definitely starting to look at the Suicide Glide. Gotta love that 12"

Pappy

Hey George, don't forget to send them to me.

Pappy

Went and threw it at the pool and OMG! Nice slow sink and nice WIDE glide, can't wait to get out and throw it for real.

Pappy

Had Allen do a custom paint job on my 12" Suicide Glide, I LIKE IT !!!!!

Pappy

I'll be there

Pappy

Heck of a bait !

Pappy

Can't wait to get one these for Clear Lake.

Pappy

Rainshadow blanks and Alps components are definitely the best bang for the buck in today's market when it comes to building custom rods.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/dpapike/38be0301-4eba-4150-878e-99b4b3c5b834.jpg Got a chance to get over and visit Allen at ABT Lure. I was able to check out the new 12" suicide Glide and see how it swims . OMG !!!!! The bait is unreal , swims as good if not better than the 9" and...

Pappy

Your right Keith, Allen is always on the cutting edge and is always thinking of ways to improve his baits. He used to design baits for Strike King so he definitely knows what he's doing.

Pappy

Actually I talked to Allen a few days ago and he said he was working on a 12" Suicide Glide but I don't know if he's finished development or what the particulars are on the bait.

Pappy

Hey George, Just give Allen a call and he'll take good care of you. I'm sure the Dirty Donkey will kick butt down there. Also ask him about his "Suicide Glide" Awesome swim bait , he just came out with a 7 " version plus the original 9".

Pappy

I got one of the prototypes to throw and I've got to say if you like big bass and top water this is a must bait. If you don't have the Dirty Donkey II in your arsenal your definitely missing the boat.

Pappy

Just to let you guys know that like throwing the Dirty Donkey Allen just came out with the Donkeys big brother ( Dirty Donkey 2) with an articulating tail and believe me this bait is in a class all its own. I got the first one from him last night and threw it at the local pond and it will blow your ...

Pappy

My new go to topwater bait is the ABT Dirty Donkey, best big fish topwater bait that I've ever used.

Pappy

FYI . I talked to Allen and he told me that the baits are going to retail in the stores somewhere between $70 to $75. At the moment he has a introductory price directly from ABT for $60.00 until they go out to the retailers. Believe me they are well worth the money if your hunting for big topwater f...

Pappy

Charley's assessment of the Dirty Donkey is right on. I was fortunate enough to talk Allen out of one of his prototypes and fished it for three afternoons. I was able to catch numerous fish between 3 and 6 with 4 over 7. It is one bad *** big fish bait. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/dpapike...

Pappy

WOW! What a blast from the past. I actually decked for Dan when his regular deckhand didn't show.,That was when he had the charter boat the "Charger" in the late 60's

Pappy

If you know the tube and ring size I may have it.

Pappy

No difference that is noticable. I have yet to have anyone come back and complain about casting distance. You could conceivably lose some distance if the transition guide set-up were placed too close together with to much angle. It's all about proper guide spacing.

Pappy

Two of the biggest advantages of a spiral wrap (when under load) is the absence of torque on the blank and the guides once the line transitions underneath thereby eliminating the need for a double foot running guide,secondly by going to a single foot running guide your making the rod tip faster and ...

Pappy

I concur, they're the best weight I've found for getting thru the thick mats.

Pappy

Best kept secret is a Rainshadow XP904 as a custom build.

Pappy

Hey Garrett, The rod is built as a spiral wrapped bait caster on a Rainshadow 6' 10" RX8 blank 6-14lb 1/8-5/8 oz. with a graphite exposed blank reelseat, composite burl split grip with no foregrip, the transition guides are Alps LXN 06's with the running guides 3 mm single foot micros. The buil...

Pappy

What time ?

Pappy

Haven't been to the Delta in a couple of weeks so no help there. As far as Bobby's Perfect Buzz frog the only thing I've been able to find is one in black at Monster.

Pappy

If Russo's is full my next pick would be Sugar Barge, they also have tent sites.

Pappy

I think I already know the answer but I'll ask anyways. Is the tourney Snagproof frogs only or can you use any Snagproof products such as their jigs ?

Pappy

George more than deserved that rod as a gesture of appreciation. It was hotter than hades out and he probably saved me a couple of hours of major frustration.

Thanks again George your a true gentleman, enjoy the rod.
