thanks a ton guys will check back later.

some nice ones, stay on,em

I have been using a hard side AR gun case that I picked up at a farm store for about 40$, thinki9ng its 4.75″ D by 42″ L

mike this is the same work that I do here in north central Indiana. If I were you I would give central states mfg. / central states steel. / central states wire. a call ask for a distributor in your neck of the woods and let them recommend a contractor 605-528-8800 the best metal roofing any were with the best warranty in the business

21.3 bf 7.1

thanks Dave looks like I,ll have to wait till next year, on what little ice we had this year the glow white work well on the big red ears here in Indiana.

I fish a lot of deep waters 50+ fow but I could be fishing 8′ in the same day I will stay with my fl28 very clear easy to see more colors but that’s just me

Dave how is the ice holding, was hoping too make one more trip out to the Genoa area before its over

I took it to a new level, savage ML10 lapped the barrel, glassed the action, added a new pillar, floated the barrel, custom stock with a 24 power leupold scope and I shoot modern smokeless powder so I really don’t have to clean it about every 100 shoots plus its a 400+ yard gun

now remember they never get stuck or brake down till they are at the farthest point from the truck, cant tell you about that bike but I have a older Honda 250 2 wheel drive it was good on the ice 50% of the time

from my house to yours prayers sent

I also am in the market for one, and have narrowed it down to:

The Eagle Claw Magnum In-line reel gets you 28″ of line retrieval per handle rotation ($35)….Frabill 371 ice reel gets you 22″ of line retrieval per handle rotation. ($65). I have held both in the store, the Frabill seems like a much better/smoother built reel… but for the price you can almost get 2 Eagle Claw’s.

but your still buying PLASTIC, ok its like going on that 1 in a life time trip and only taking a Zebco 33 it dose’nt cost any more to go frist class you just don’t stay as long

you went top shelf on the rod ! now go the rest of the way with a black betty 6061 you will fish with it for years to come.

I have the vex flx-28 your going to love it super fine detail add more colors for more def. very bright and large screen you will have to turn down when its dark outside, digital depth for that fast run and gun. if you cant tell I am very happy with my vex..

when you find the wright bug, size, color, send a pm it’s only 7 hours up the road and I,ll be up to verify some of these guys have trust issues

as for my area no one wants them I still have coon from two years back that haven’t sold. plan to trap my too otters this is the first year we can trap them here in Ind.

yes you very well may have a 40″ fish, very nice for sure

not to offend but do you mean 40 inch or 40 LBS. to me and its hard to tell from a pic. it maybe 38/40″ and 19/22 LBS. I know the stats on this fish.

there is a e-mail still floating around on the intertube ? as I just resent the original one to Adam, he responded in just min.s so were dose this stuff go? my faith has been renewed

sorry I work on the road a lot, <[email protected]> this is the same as I use last time to order.

going on two weeks for just a response to a e-mail was hoping to order 4 new rods ?

my last trip out the ice was maybe 20+ ” I got lazy and used the 10″ lazer mag didn’t take duke to long to point out the error of my ways we went back to the 5″ hand auger and didn’t clean the hole very well, no doubt fishing got a whole lot more fun! still healing up duke but I will be back to see ya thanks B GRIFFIS

Dave don’t park to close to the tree line you may not find your ride home is this yours or Dukes

Did you use the force to create this rotten weather? I know you haven’t been able to fish due to commitments, but did you have to take the ice with you?

Duke !!
There will be fishable ice next weekend.. Get that Hovercraft ready and let’s hook up !!

then send some fish stores to me if I can still take the cold after my accident just might be up your way. Griff.

most likely fish the same waters as you its always a hit or miss. with no nat. walleye lakes all I can tell you is drill fish, drill fish, drill fish, you see the pattern here, and hook up with a good walleye guy there are eight or ten of the best sticks any were right here in Indiana. GRIFF.

it was the best year in a very long time but then it was good ice early and stayed late, my partner and I started wright after the perch from day one and we worked hard very hard most days 100 / 150 holes, drill, fish, move, repeat. learned more this year on perch patterns than I have in the last 10 years, funny how you can get set in your ways and over look the obvious and how much a good partner can help when you push each other. I could only fish home waters this year as I was either on the ice or at the doctors (skin cancer ) but life is all good now we will see if what I learned this year works next ice season ?

the best of luck to ya stay safe and lots of pic’s with the new rod’s

think I might just hang on to my vex one more year maybe to

hey are those 6061 reel’s after the last too years no way would I give mine up and I can see why this rod would be great for the backwaters it sit’s you back from the hole as not to spook the fish by sight up through the hole or your shadow, and it would be super fast in and out of the hole with no or little reeling, well dave we have no backwaters here so I,ll have to make it back out and see just how they are.
