I really enjoyed the discussions on plastic vs. feather vs. hair. Also interesting was the discussion on going big or small (1/4 oz. vs. 1/80 oz.). Locations of hot spots, danger spots, and ramps at Hugo were very helpful. Cricket's info on Gilmore took me to Gilmore's web site. Best of all was meeting the faces and personalities that go with the handles. Almost forgot to put the word crappie in the post.

ps Hello, Reaper and Odie. I'm thumbs up for a guber story-telling thread. It would probably be of interest to everyone but the kid (you know, the only one without gray).
