Hey Cal, what brand of camera and lens type did you use in those shots?...I want to get another shot of that weeping willow tree up near New Hogans and those photos look awsome!... Yep, Tackle Tour rocks and so do you Kent for a great event!... I shoot Nikon, but you don't want to know the cost of ...

Thanks KB for throwing together another fun event.

Great news Mike... i'm glad things have turned out well. A truly Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

TTCal

I know of a few, Powell, Not to sure about Loomis, was kind of bummed to find out that Dobyens are made in Korea, I was going to get a 705cb glass rod until I read it, Is the new Phoenix rods being made in the US or are they out of country, I don't want to sound like to much of a hypocrites, I use ...

Happy BDay Long!

What kind of upgrades..there was a mention of a spool change..What are the advantages of these upgrades? The spool change is to swap the original spool with that of the TDZ100M. You can order this part from Daiwa. The TDZ100M spool is able to cast and pitch lighter weights than the stock Zillion sp...

So sorry to hear this news. I never had the opportunity to meet Julie, but it was obvious what a great woman she was just by seeing how Troyce would light up whenever he spoke of her. My deepest sympathy goes out to the Taylor family and I am deeply saddened by your loss my friend.

TTCal

happy birthday KB!!

Yup, it's shrink wrap... the Paycheck hooks come with the shrink wrap in the package.

Very cool Rick... the TT Truck is fueled and ready... we'll be on the road at midnight and see you when you open the doors!!

The injection punker not only has rattles, but the proportions are a little different. The following photo is a six inch wood punker jr. on top and the injection version below: http://www.tackleaccess.com/ttnews/blackdog052909018.jpg As well, the injection version is easier to walk IMO. Of course, d...

Nothing is secret now, I just shared with you above who is coming out with the hook. It was not mentioned earlier because the manufacturer was not yet ready to make the announcement.

TTCal

The word is now out... the company's name is Paycheck Baits, headed by Bub Tosh. Look for product to start hitting the shelves by the end of July.

TTCal

Guys, Rest asure, the hooks wont be gone for long. I'm not saying who is coming out with it, but I just finished making the packaging for the hooks. They are the exact same hook, and will be out in a few weeks. I'm sure the responsible parties will come forward and let the full info out very soon. ...

TTCal

congrats Dean!!

Here's to a speedy recovery Julie... best wishes to you and Troyce both and I hope everything goes well.

Dennis "Cal" Shew here, a native to the SF Bay Area. Grew up in San Francisco and got into bass fishing by way of my older brother and some family friends who had a house up at Clear Lake in the Oaks. As many of you may or may not know, I'm also an editor for TackleTour.com and I have a pa...

They are a Korean company and have a website here:

They have 3 lines of rods. 2 of which are starting to ship in 30 days... the 3rd is a new bass version of their Peacock bass rods - which will be incredible - very very high end for the right price. Actually, there are three line of bass rods even before the re-fitted Peacock Bass rods... the Angel...

There is a very shallow sandbar at the west as ya come to the right out of the Marina, just past the SS Minnow and Gilligan's Island. Yup... found that one this year at low tide... fortunately i didn't mess anything up! :shock: now ash when ya figure out the break, venture west to sherman island, t...

TTCal

TAD... if you can find one, you might try the Dobyns Rods 795ML. Yes, it's a 7'9" rod, but because of its longer handle, the effective length of the rod from reel seat to rod tip is more like a 7'6" stick. The only trouble is, because of the longer handle, you might have a tough time worki...

TTCal

in no particular order, some good places to start... 7" Slammer, 3:16 Wake Jr., Black Dog Baits Go To Minnow, AC Plug Minnow...

TTCal

for rods, I'd give Okuma a real close look. Very good value for their swimbait rods.

TTCal

I got an email bulletin that the closure list has been pulled back. So Clear Lake SP should still be in operation.

Great job Denise!!

TTCal

TTCal

My best to you, your wife, and family Greg. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

TTCal

here's a somewhat similar fish called a Payara out of South America... some crazy species out there for sure!

TTCal

Nice clean look... good job!

Some nice adds there Don!

omigod!! that's a HUGE FISH!!!

Congrats brotha COOCH!!!

but if you were throwing a swimbait, she'd have gone 15 easy...

my deepest condolences to the Clements family.. i am so sorry for this tragic news.

TTCal

congrats on a great day on the water with your son Paul... best of luck to all of you with Jim's surgery and best wishes for a speedy recovery and return to the Delta!

This year, it is double duty on my end.. the day also happens to be my wife's birthday, so I've reserved the entire weekend to be with her and my kids...

TTCal

I bought a set about a year ago and am really glad I did. The peace of mind is invaluable - especially when driving in the right lane along 580 eastbound ... the conditions of the roads are maddening and the TSD's not only give me peace of mind that if something should happen, I'll have some protect...

TTCal

Yeah, i was there about a month or two ago and the peninsula beside the launch ramp was almost fully submerged. Water level is good at Sonoma.

TTCal

Safe journeys to you Maggs, and yeah, what sTony said.. the Internet helps keeping tabs and keeping in touch pretty easy these days. Hope you get your first SB fish at CL, but even if not, they work in places other than California too ya know

TTCal

wholly cow! :shock: .. that shatters the record! That's an insanely huge carp! Crazy that it hit a pointer, but maybe that's why it got so big. It's adapted. I've landed them hooked in the mouth before on crankbaits, so it doesn't surprise me too much. Still, you hardly expect it on a reaction bait....

TTCal

See here's what you do, go on over to tackletour.com and look under CONTENTS... then click the topic you'd like to research, in this case RODS... then you'll see there's a ton of stuff right there at your fingertips dating back to product review on rods from 2001 to present. Hope that helps our guy...

TTCal

I was just jokin' around Tony. You guys do a great job moderating this forum. I come here to escape ours.

And we appreciate the support. I'm convinced that even a good number of our forum members aren't aware of the product reviews based on the questions we get on our message board!

TTCal

If a general rod question is asked please respond in general terms. If folks are looking for something more specific or product recommendations then it's best we send them to tackletour.com, a place that has tons of information listed so that a person could easily go over, click on Rods and get ton...

TTCal

If for some reason Tony's recommendations don't pan out, I know Drake's Marine in South San Francisco has a Yamaha mechanic, but that'd be an awfully long haul for you. Just the same and just in case, that's one option of last resort for you.
