Location: Oswego, IL | Jerry, once again good stuff! Welldriller- TV, Lures, deer, is that also a sleeping bag out there now?lol! thats for sure what i will need if I decorated the garage like that. So funny, and totally right about comparing a womens addition to ours, RIGHT ON! I will tuse that next time, but make sure I have a helmet on before anything comes out of my mouth! I think the craziest thing is how much $$ I have spent and I still feel like I dont have much at all. As far as lures, I have 1 big Lakewood with all brand new lures, and four smaller boxes, thats it, maybe a total of 75 lures, but s$$t at $20+ a pop adds up quick. I make sure I had the right catch and release stuff before I started spending too much money on lures. Crazy expensive hobby, next year I will have a new boat, so I guess once thats in the garage it will hide everything else I buy.

Location: Hayward, WI | I have:
1 - Okuma 8'6" XH/Okuma Indurion: Big Rubber, double 10's, all purpose
1 - 8'6" Hamer Rod/Okuma Red Isis: Big Rubber, double 10's,...also seems fairly all purpose
1 - 8' Gander MH Tournament Extreme/Okuma Induron: Topwater, jerkbaits, regular bucktails
Being built:
1 - 8'6" H St. Croix Premier being built by Pro Edge. Will be paired with an Okuma Induron. Sounds like a good rod for double 10's, probably a good all around rod.
On their way to my door:
1 - 8' H Shimano TDR/have a 20 series Okuma Magda for it: Trolling
1 - 7'6" H Bass Pro Catt Maxx rod/have a Gander Linecounter for this one: Trolling and sucker aplications
1 - 7'6" H Bass Pro Power Plus rod/ reel?: HOPEFULLY a trolling and sucker rod, but I have no idea if the rod will fit the applications or not. For only $25, it would be nice if it does.

Years ago, I had a nephew visit. He wanted his own rod so we stopped at Cabelas and he picked out a Whuppin' Stick. That thing is iron clad. I now use it to do things like - jack up my truck, shoot pool, hack down trees, cane trespassers, and just everyday ordinary stuff. It still has all it's guides too. ;)
O yes they are tough as nails. I drive them into the water 2 foot trolling at 5mph and my buddys always ask if i'm worried about breakin them, i just laugh!

Location: Eagle River, WI | A new boat is a great place to hide all of the baits you buy.
If you have a memory as bad as mine you can hide your own easter eggs. Everytime I go in my boat it's like christmas all over again. |

Better make sure I'm not home, though, because fishing is just one of my hobbies that you can enjoy outside in the wilderness. |

Ditto to that - Concealed carry and semi-auto's are a beautiful thing. |

| not to get off topic, how does the thorne brothers predator H compare to the sling blade. how does the predator XH compare to big dawg? |
|

Location: Pelican Rapids, MN | They are all built with SCVI graphite mesh, but the Predator's solid 9' blank makes it a bit more parabolic than the Sling and the Dawg. It seems the power rating would go as such -
4. Big Dawg
3. Predator XH
2. Slingblade
1. Predator H
I have all of these rods, and I call the Predators, the in-betweeners. |
|
| |
|
| so the the best rod for twitching 10"cranks would be the XHpredator or the slingblade |
|

Location: Pelican Rapids, MN | The sling may have too soft a tip to get the action you may want. The St.Croix Jerk or the Lipstick may serve you better. The XH predator would work great though. |
