they scream the line off, I love bones and albies.
dont do it anymore, sold the hole in water 3 years ago.
that is what I got into flyfishing for, bones and albies. i even got macks on fly.
I like bluefish on the fly to.
A Radar, Get rid of that hat. eeebud. Now dont go gettin a big head or she will dump ya for a bass;)

That's my pimping hat. I thought much of the radar stuff came from the military drab get up I was in.

Gotta love a purple fedora with faux leopard trim.

Don't worry, it was from my brother's halloween costume lol.

Oh yeah, M*A*S*H* marathon on FX today. 8 am to 1 am all M*A*S*H*. All the ones with Radar have passed though. Poor Gary Burghoff. Has no career. I think he played the Radar Character quite well and added an integral part to the overall story line. A young man's innocence lost in a the time of war. Sorta has a Red Badge of Courage feel to it.

Now Alan Alda, don't get me started on him. Has his moments but I like the ones where Mike Ferrell was the center of attention. His character had a hook. Family man brought into war.

Although the show was a comedy, it did have it's other moments. Loss of Henry Blake, the madness of Frank Burns, C.E. Winchester having his arrogance leveled time after time. The comoradory and bunching of people who would never have been together being together.

Good show. Too bad it's off the air.

Sorry ,Your Delta tow ki pledge pin name is Radar.

How much I gotta bribe you for that pic?How am I gonna get anyone to fish with me with you flashin that around?That's not me any way.The real 10x10 is a tall dashing square jawed figure with steely grey eyes and wavy blond hair.And I never catch fish under 20 lbs.(Mere rats at that)I don't know who that is.Some beach troll buddy of yours no doubt.Looks like a poacher to me.

Notice the sandsled in the back round.
a snapped #8 downt to 1 1083.Dude Im sick of this.
thinkin of buyin differant rod from other co.

Googster - WTH are you doing? Is that the Lami XRA1083? and when are they breaking on you?

John, he's snapping his xra1083 on the cast , I think he loads it too much with 2 oz. But the rod is supposed to handle 2 oz. I was next to him one night when he snapped one first time out with it just below the tip. I was going to get one for next year , but not now.....

Yup,I was there last night,it busted on the cast.He didn't do anything different or weird, it just popped.
Broke about a foot down.Crazy sucker kept fishin with it anyway.I think he got at least two or three more fish on what was left.

BM,

I think you should give me a 1083. Just so I can give it a try and make sure you aren't overloading it. You know, splintering graphite could hurt your eyes. ;) :p :D

well it aint on small 12 to 16 pound twinkies or bigguns.
A , the god is ment to cast that weight, If it cant handle the load, then thaey should not specify it on the dam blank.
I can understand me breakin rods on 50 pound test in my rock mecca on 20 to 40 pound bass due to ripping them literally over the rocks at the place i fish in spring. due to some chips or nicks.
those rods are sm1363m or 2f cut down to around 9'10".
The tip is cut down to a size 14 and i cut the rest off the butt section.
I use penn squidders due to the spool capacity and spoolchange.
I trash usually 2 or 3 a spring. tork frames, strip gears. one year I blew out one side on a school of big bass to 46 pounds. the bearing blew out the side and i trashed the spool, to funny.
Fished the broken rod and pounded bass on top to the beach.
no big deal........................

I don't know BM - My sole Lami Arra has not broken and it's the one that brakes the most (or at least used to), the XRA1205... I don't get much into the squidder scene and I just use graphite sticks so.... You know, the AllStars are pretty tough and while I haven't used Seeker Blanks, I'm told you can practically drive over them they are so tough... I've also heard that the latest St Croix SC-V is pretty tough but have nothing to base that on other than a knowlegable surfcaster ( ;) )

Speaking of "Driving over a blank". Those Graphite USA Blanks look really tough. One blank site took pictures or got pictures of a Ford Bronco driving over a Graphite USA stick and the blank didn't break or even distort into an oval.

Pretty impressive.

44 and 38 lbers - Old Saybrook CT.

Hey Gary - Long time no speak... Been out at all?

I changed the file to a jpg so it would be easier for people to view...

Hey John. Hope all is well. Thing are just picking up here in Connecticut. Should be getting hot from here till the end of October. Fished the race last weekend and picked up five bass to about 34 inches and three blues. Only was able to get out for a few hours.

You got quite a crew coming up from Jersey this weekend...look out!!!!!

Now that I'm officially registered you'll hear alittle more form me.

Welcome Gary!
