Well the Money Pit continues!I was a lot richer man before I met yall!My rods, counter reels, Bandits,and my 17'x9'x6'8" Coleman Tent all showd up at my house on the same day.Looked like a Fed Ex distribution hub at my address.Still waiting on 1 more shipment of cranks and gonna buy 2 drift socks then I am retiring.If, I buy anything else, it will prolly be a bigger boat to haul all this stuff around in!!:dono:yikes:biggrin:fish
You getting closer!!!!!!!! But you missin some colors!!:biggrin
aaahhhhhhhhhh big boy toys!!!!! I like it!!!!!
Looks like you're off to a good start
Just remember that NOBODY forced you to order all that stuff!:yikes:Rofl
Looking good!!
Ain't it fun?
You just getting started:)
Rees, I'm working on the whole collection!Got some Rebel CrankR's coming and some Storm Smash Shad in some wicked colors coming!Also got a nice order from Charlie Brewer!A few more Bandits just showed up!:dono
You just guaranteed a future treble hook buried in your hand. Enjoy.......:biggrin
What model ugly sticks are those? Links to any and all deal on gear and baits would be of interest.:o
Feelay, pulled one outa my thigh a while back.I cut the split ring to get the lure and other treble outa the way and with 2 hands and my pliers,yanked that sucka out!It weren't no fun. Poured a cold beer on it and went back to fishing.Treated it when I got home Do any of you crankers mash the barbs down to help with deep hooked fish? I used to do that and seemed that I didn't lose many fish because of it and helped to remove the hook if the fish had swallowed it!Them Stik"s were 2- 6' and 2-7'Got them at Wally World. Item #000433811339, description-Cal110170 70 Casting Ugly Stik. I bought the Med-Hvy but after I try them may go back and get the Med.
Looks good but you got a long ways to go. I got bout 200-250 cranks n want more
you ought to see billbob's 240 bandits spreadout on a table, and that just what he had with him
Was Billbob spread out on the table with them??:biggrinQuote:

Do any of you guys split shot ahead of your cranks for a little more depth so you don't have to have out so much line to get to the depth the fish are at? I used to add lead ribbon to the front hook and suspend dots to the baits and it worked great without losing action and gave me greater depth on a shorter line!
You know all this is Speck's fault .
I understand the rods,counter reels,and Bandits !!!! is that big tent for sleeping in cause you got kicked out the house for all the new gear !!!!:Rofl:donoQuote:

I think he has a problem. We need an intervention
Now thats some bandits
SL I'm using some 6 1/2 ft medhvy bass rods I had and they are just fine. I would think on ugly stick that tip would still have enough give to not pull the bait away. Were they on sale?
No,It's for camping and fishing!I sold a old truck I had and spent some of it on tackle and my old tent was shot! Found that out that night during Spring camp at Enid when it was stormin. I had a fly over the whole top so it didn't leak but it was dry rotted at the base and started leaking near the floor.If it wasn't for that air matress to keep me out of the water,I would have slept in the truck!The GOOD LORD told me to buy a new tent!:biggrin
Cray, here's the ticket. Seem like a fair price for what I was getting just don't know if I want a med./ heavy action?:donoWhen that crank wobbles, I want a little more flex than what these seem to have.I'm gonna try them Saturday and see what they'll do! This is what I paid for 2 rods.I insured them for 2 yrs.Quote:

Man Billbob, that is a heck of a collection! How many Bandit color patterns are there?
Bill some day I may need that box!:yikes
:banghead
Nope but you can take a 1 oz slip weight and put it about 6 or 7 feet above your crank. Use a swivel and then more line to the crank and it'll get you an extra foot or 2. You just get more tangles if you have 60-70 foot of line out and you try turning sharp with a cross wind
