MAX;
with that combo of super long leaders and tiny corkys it seems like your cleaning teeth, more then making them bite. But thats just my .02.


Parker;
dont worry i wont pick on you, im still happy w/that imx1084

Don't let some of the "so concieved experts" on this board fool you, whether they know it or not, many of them are still climbing the heirarchy of angling needs, which is cool as long as they don't plateau at the mid point.

Hey, am I still climbing that mountain?? :p

Parker - you crack me up sometimes!!

Keith

I can't believe I just read this whole thread...what a waste.

Be careful Parker, those crackers down around Rastle Cock---I mean Castle Rock, don't take kindly to city folk.

fishon NW- geez, i'm wondering if its worth .02 cents, what more do you want, i can't see the actual interface btwn the fish & my parts, all I can do is report the "bite like sensation" when my parts are interrupted from their normal (& usually their 2 thousandth) drift down the river & report the fact the hook is inside the fishes' mouth or under its chin (not in a frint fin, eye, or cheek) when I get it out of the water, are u thinking the fish swim with their mouths open & the corkies go in there by accident?? thus, a snag? what does it take, an underwater camera?? come to grips with it, their is a way to get a heavily pressured fish in very clear water to bite = get the speed of presentation corect (weight size), use longer leaders & smaller baits ....

Lastly, at least follow your own logic path to its end, if the goal was to "clean teeth", a #2 hook would work better than a #1. (hint: # 2 is smaller & would fit into the open mouth of the swimming fish better than a #1)... geez, and to think i haven't figured that part out yet...

I might be growing gray hair on my ass before I come around to the 8 foot leader concept. As for the 6-8 pound mainlines...coming from a background heavy in chasing bluefin and albies, a person used the heaviest line that still CONSISTENTLY produced bites.

My theory is that small hooks tend to set themselves. So guys who havnt figured out the whole setting the hook thing get 'bit' more often with the flossing rig. And of course snaggers do better with a rig that sticks to a fishes side like a thorn. I really don't think your a snagger Max.

And finally, yes its fun and very possible to land huge fish on light line. But most guys don't know what the drag is for, and they have no business chasing bright springers with 10 pound leaders.

Wrong, city or country, it makes no difference to me. We just don't take kindly to a-holes, plain and simple.

Oh so Parker's now a A-hole?? SO WHAT'S THAT MAKE Sol on the Duc??

What's the deal with the whiners? All Parker said was to get out of the computer chair and MAKE IT HAPPEN... If you catch or don't catch, who cares.. It's the fun of being out there.

FYI the Cowlips has fish year around for CITY FOLK and COUNTRY BUMPKINS!!

Keith

I don't think Parker is an ahole. Kinda strikes me as one of those old guys who don't realize that thier incontinence pad has turned into 3 pounds of urine gel. Little bit irritable at times, but mostly harmless.

If you dont think that 8' leaders are snagging fish, come to the Fraser in August and watch all the dentists looking for sox. Its no coincidence that 95% of the snaggers are using 8'+ leaders and that 95% of the fish are snagged in the mouth. If you want to see it happen in clear water, head over to the Vedder in October and watch the same people practice piscatoral dental hygene with the exact same gear.

Flossing is snagging, sportsmen dont snag.

If Parker's an A-hole then pass the toilet paper cause I'm an A-hole, too. In all seriousness I've never claimed to be anything more. And when the paper is gone I'll hand the cardboard roll to Keith to scrape out his cavernous gash, because birds of a feather fly together.

The problem here is we've always known that Sol is an A--hole and we're just finding out about Parkers ability to portray an A--hole.

Just my $0.02 worth

Last I heard there were fish in the COW!

Hey mods, feel free to change "Three Time Spawner" to "A$$hole".

With that title comes great honor. I will uphold the position to the best of my ability! I will not let you all down!

So, with that in mind, why don't you all just shut the F&ck up, get a life and go fishing? What a bunch of whiners, crybabies, and religious types - mostly. Man, some of you really do put the "L" in LOSER!

That's Rev. Dr. A$$hole, to you!

How about changing it from three time spawner to "Windbag," because it's all hot air anyhow.

Hey bucket, if I'm an A-hole how come you spend so much time trying to be me---same rods, tackle box, boat---the list goes on.

YA I might have the same tackle box and same brand of drift boat, but I aint got no REINEL.

The rods aint mine yet!

Wow Bucket. That's quite the avatar and signature line!

I'm smellin' something stinky around here - and I think it's called Arse_on_the_Hole!

I am just an amateur when it compares to ol'd Sol. He's the Master. I am just the student. I am not worthy, Master!

That's a big 10-4 there Parker.

Bob,
I'm thinkin is about time for me to get one of them new passwords! Sol can't seem to leave good enough alone!

Good plan, Bucket!

This time, I don't think OWNED should be your password.
