Hey bantam,

How many LBs. of drag does the Core pull?

Any idea how much the Shimano Core will cost?

A spool similar to the one on the 100dsv curado.

I'd like to purchase some Shimano clothing, but I'm having a hard time finding any. I've searched all over the internet without having any luck. The only thing I'm able to find are some very nice hats at Fisherman's Warehouse here in Sacramento. I'd like to purchase some long sleeve shirts and some ...

Thanks for the info, I'll definatley go that route.

I called Shimano, they cost about $30.00 a piece with shipping. To bad Shimano doesnt make a 101DSV.

My $200 Curado just went up to $230.00.

Any suggestions for the Calcutta 101B?

Then I have 5 Calcutta 101B's that I use for crankin, spinnerbaits, etc. I like the 5.8:1 ratio for that type of tecniq...

Thanks for your advice men, I appreciate it. I know Clear Lake is on fire (it always is) I just didnt mention it simply because I want to go to a lake I havent fished very much. The Delta, and Clear Lake are my favs, and the one I frequent the most. I've never fished New Melones, so I dont know anyt...

Pardee, Folsom,Camanche,Amador,Melones,Berreyessa, etc...? I'm going out Saturday, and I've been fishing the Delta hard lately. But, this week I want to go to a lake. Does anyone have any advice as to what lake is hot, what baits are working, and what pattern is hot? If so please let me know. Thank ...

The boxes I have are red, blue ,and green. They have a grey, very dense foam like material that holds the hooks in place on jerkbaits, and crankbaits. The green box is for small jerkbaits. The blue is for med jerkbaits. The red, which is the one I like the best, fits med to large crankbaits, and bes...
