I snapped three ends off a Rolling Fork(edit) in one year. One time it snapped reeling in a 10 inch fish. The quality just didn't seem to be there, maybe a bad batch in town, I don't know. Happy New Year, See you May1

That's the one.

Thank God a guy can get them on line now, I would hate to have to be seen actually purchasing one in person, especially a 5 day classified waters license, for the Elk specifically, in August.

You mean this is another video that was posted before? Crap i must be losing my memory as I keep posting repeats. Anybody know what the search feature is for by the way?

Ah the New World Order, Kind of scary considering his kid is running the world now.

Squirrel fishing.

Talk about combat fishing.

Interesting, can't say I've ever seen this before.

Hardy has been around twice as long as you Don. Makes you feel young I bet!

I don't know about that Tim. I just don't see ever pulling out one of my old Martin rods again, I think I would rather not fish if I had to sink to that level.

Since I needed some better lighting myself I decided to do a little testing. Here's what I did. I bought an OTT lamp, desk model such as this. (Paid $50 at Canadian Tire.) Then I went to Rona and bought the following lamp ($13.77) and stuck a 18 watt Tensor Vision Max bulb ($14.98) that I also bought from Rona into it. The Tensor Vision Max bulbs are a natural daylight bulb that put out equivalent amount of light as a 75watt incandescent bulb. (Sorry no link to the bulbs.) http://www.rona.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servl...productId=50311 I then put the lamps to the test by sitting down and tying for a few hours. I used the OTT lamp first then the Rona configuration. I found the OTT lamp was in my way and did not produce anywhere near the required amount of light. The Rona configuration lit up my entire tying area, plus it can be moved easily. The color temperature of the lamps was identical, or at least I didn’t notice the difference. In other words they produced light that looked the same. I found my eyes did not get tired or strained using either lamp. Conclusion: The OTT lamps are very, very, very pricey, even when on sale. I’m sorry I ever posted a link to them. The Tensor Vision Max bulbs produce way more light for less than a third of the cost. Furthermore it looks like Tensor makes almost the identical lamp as Ott for quite a bit less: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.j...oductId=2422240 http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/601-6...gt_adv_XSP10001 $49.00 for a light bulb? http://www.ott-lite.com/productdetail.asp?product_id=40

That's funny. Can anyone spot the fish tail?

This is another cheaper option. http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_...fromSearch=true

Shi tzu = Shitz for brains. I really feel sorry for you. My brother just left my house with his Shi tzu cross. Dumbest dog I have ever met. At 1 1/2 yrs old it wouldn't even come to it's owner when called. This dog knew zip, nothing, nadda. It's basically a walking piece of meat. I'm not sure the thing even knew it was alive. Then the frickin thing pissed on my carpet.

The wife has been on my case to get the Christmas lights up for a couple of weeks. They are up now and for some reason she will not talk to me. I mean is there something wrong here? http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w12/wee...ATT47867511.jpg

That's a classic line!

Hey Brownstone, you stole my Flyangler signature.

Keep in mind the color spectrum given off by the bulb itself as this can be real important in some hobby work. The Michaels ones I listed have excellent bulbs but you pay big for them also. Heat is also another factor, stick with fluorescents.

You going to hang that one from your ceiling Brent?

Composite material,all I can give you. http://www.loopnorthamerica.com/reels/evotec-clwc.htm

Check out Michaels also Rick. They have a good assortment of hobby lamps. http://www.michaels.com/art/online/display...oductNum=fa0463 http://www.michaels.com/art/online/search?...mp;x=11&y=8 edit : The lamps at Michaels are 40% off till the 28th.

Anybody ever used a Loop Evotec CLCW reel? Loop claims they're unbreakable. Not a bad price either and then there's the "cool factor".
