SO i just went in my back yard to see if I could get any distance casting my rigged 7" sluggos on my convench.
Well, I can,,,,very far, and way up in the big maple in my yard! Now I have 30ft strand of mono flying in my yard that I cant do anyting about, nevermind losing the sluggo I just rigged........:af:

I did the same thing in the street in front of my house!
It was funny, cause as soon as casted, I knew it was a bad idea...

Yeah, same here. Thing went like a rocket. At least I know I get good distance.
Also tested my line strength. I cut the line, then wrapped it around a stick and pulled as hard as I could, it wouldnt break! This is 15lb mono :conf:

justplugit 09-23-2006 09:03 PM

ya, treepoppers and treesluggos, known to hang around for years. :D

Katie 09-24-2006 05:50 AM

i dont feel so bad now.. few years ago dad has me practice my casting, and when he went back inside, i casted in a different direction and it got stuck right on to the barn (its 5 stories high!) i was so scared dad was gonna get mad at me for losing his plug, but he came out started laughing.. ever since then, that plugs been hanging up there..

ThrowingTimber 09-24-2006 07:14 AM

Dont feel bad theres a blue storm shad hangin' on a powerline somewhere because of me :hihi:

mrmacey 09-24-2006 07:24 AM

Went out back
 
Of my office figured Id throw a small plug in the river just to fool around that thing flew across the river into the woods never to be seen again said to myself this was a stupid idea back to work!:hihi:

Raider Ronnie 09-24-2006 07:25 AM

WE have LOTS of trees in my yard,
and LOTS of plugs hanging from those trees !
