...Hey DaBow,....am I a poet, and don't know it?...[:D]
...Tell me something I want to hear,....bought your rig yet? If not, what is holding you up?...and? Wheres your combo?...springs a'commin. Right now, at least in the South, it's TIME to be fishing. Fronts, rain (which we BADLY need) and wind make it hard...but it's fishing time! Of course 1 thing, and three dozen others have kept me from going YET this new year.
...But I swear, I am going to just set some days aside, and by gosh if a front just comes thru (which kills fishing for several days) or if it's another front/cold snap (which run the staging bass back to deeper water) ANY weather conditions won't keep me from going, fish or no fish....when I get the days picked, I'm a'goin....except high winds.
Hate the freakin wind, and since I throw 99.9% topwaters and plastic baits...the wind kills it anyway. The ranch lake(about 30 acres) that I fish almost exclusivly since I sold my boat...has no where to escape the wind...I'm dieing here.
Just finished up several topwaters (see the shameless post [:D]), and started 4-5 more...so in a week or so should have some more ready...if the humidity doesn't slow all the paint drying down too bad, of course it will. Heck, I might just have to keep some for myself...[:D]

GET IT IT! With the magnetic backlash control thingamajiggers (technical term) in the new reels....you will learn quick, learn now, before you have to start shaving and you will be ahead of the game. Man, you had me all excited for you. I'm so upset right now, I'm headed down to the tatto parlor and getting a tat of a tear in the corner of my eye...GET IT[:D]
(going inti a tirade too)
Bloviator you need to get your line wet.
...badly need the rain
Try one of the All Star rods, they are some of the best, and won't kill your wallet. If you can, get one with a LONG cork handle with a palm swell...get it. More comfortable, better control...[;)]

...this week, the fish are drowning...[:D]
Dicks has allstar rods for 59.99 and up depending on model. Get a 7 foot 1 piece and never look back.
Fenway Fenwick (berkley) also makes several 1 piece 7 foot rods that will cost 69-79 depending on model. These may be found cheaper in a box store.
