Bob, how long are we going to have to wait for one of our circuits to build a good one? You have an excellent payback but your, and all of our circuits', idea of promoting is listing your schedule. You think you know what us as fishermen want and so do your competitors. We do not have a single tourn...

Any time a tournament organization requires a certain number of entries to give a boat away, the tournament is doomed. If a tournament is promoted well (this almost never happens), is scheduled well, has a fair payback and is giving a boat away for a $290 entry fee, it would be a big hit. Some of ou...

Tony how can 150 guys lose 12K? Are you saying the same 50 guys are always going to make the money? I don't get this.

You guys want to talk about house payments and continue to lose about a $1000 to $1500 per event (entry fees, gas, rooms, and the always needed tackle someone else is catching them on). For every 25th place finish you get NO dollars. But I see plenty of $50000 dollar boats and $45000 trucks pulling ...

Nice post, Ron. I sure cannot out-type you. You make some points but I can argue several. Elephant Butte sucks. Great fishery but way too small for a big event. Everyone wants to talk about fishing pro BUT, fishing pro means you need a chance to make money. At our current entry fee and pay out, you ...

If we are wishing, why not wish for a SERIES or TOUR curcuit. I think it would be pretty cool to finish 50th out of 200 boats and win $10000. Think about it. On a 6 tourament schedule, if you made the 50th place check twice, you just payed for all your entrys plus most, if not all, your expenses. If...

Cooch you screwed that up. Ray M. was in pink. Everyone knows okie's wear camo. Don't let this happen again or else. Also if I had to guess who else would be on this band wagon, Mr. Sault, who has a new boat, and Mr. Triton Mike, who needs a good boat.

Anyone looking to purchase a Ranger Boat OR an Evinrude engine(with a free 7 year warranty) I will help you get your best deal and have NO hassle. I am helping serveral right now from my last post. Hopefully, if you contact me you're serious. I can not save you 10K on a boat. I also know where sever...

I'm very happy to let everyone know that Powell Rods has joined forces with National Bass. National Bass is a professionally ran organization with tremendous growth potential and just a bunch of good guys. Powell Rods kicked off at the Anglers Marine Bass-A-Thon in November. We believe we have great...

Wow. I've been out of town doing a little hunting and missed a brawl. :D Nacl, you are priceless. I'd like to nail you with words but you would make me eat them. A warning though, I'm working on something special for you :twisted: I really want to thank everyone for your support. It's always special...

That's about it, Dave. I look forward to it. I've always liked to help people with new or used boat sales. I just usually do it by responding with a private message.

The E-TEC is a great engine. Starting December 31 thru March 31, Evinrude is again offering a no charge 7-year warranty or a rebate of $4 per horsepower. I work with many Evinrude dealers and can help you. In fact, I'm offering to help anyone looking to buy a new rig get a fair, no hassle deal. If y...

I totally agree with Dave. 2- 734C Fast Action: Blades, senkos, and most topwaters. 1- 704cb Mod-Fast: jerkbaits and many cranks also smaller topwaters. 1- 706cb Mod-Fast : big cranks and big jerkbaits. 1- 704c extra fast : jig rod. We do not make a swimbait rod yet. I would wait for Mike Long to ma...

Look at the 734C. Its has a fast action instead of x-fast. It is 7'3" but don't let that bother you. Its an awesome rod. Also perfect for just about all topwaters, senkos and many other applications. It is our most versitile rod in the line and our #2 seller behind the 704CB Rippin rod. Thanks ...

Check out the new fishing book on all the Northern California waters. This book is in color with over 800 pages on every piece of water you can possibly think of. I had not even heard of 50% of these places. The book is AWESOME. It took Chris Shaffer 5 years to write this book. He personally went to...

Was Duh spinnerbaits out before Vyper? I don't remember it that way. I am getting old, I could be wrong. Ray started Vyper and then years later started Revenge baits with much more detail. My main disagreement with you Tony is over the name Revenge. I totally think your wrong on this. It's Revenge o...

Tony, I want to let you know I was around Ray when he started Revenge and we have had many discussions about the "Vyper products". Anytime Ray mentioned Revenge it was ALWAYS Revenge on the fish. I can see how and know of it being referred to differently but I absolutely never heard Ray sa...

The last couple of days have been busy. We have our pro-staff in place. Mike Long will be designing 3 models of swimbait rods. Tony Franchesci, Roy Hawk, Armondo Luzuriaga, Bernie Gaunt, John Harper, and Tom Matsunaga are all helping me with some additional bass rods. I am working with a couple more...

Alright KB. You had a hell of a run last winter fishing deep at Folsom. I think you won just about averything you fished. Are you going to be passing out maps to make it more fair this year. If your doing a seminar don't be dancing around on location questions. Also I was looking at your sponsor lis...

The price is pretty awesome. $169 for everything but flippin'/ pitchin' sticks. They are $199. Give them a look on the website @ www.powellco.com.

I wish I could see 4 feet much less 40 feet. I love sight fishing remember, NOT. I got my eyes checked this week. The Doc tells me I can't even pass a DMV test. This getting old really sucks. I must be getting close to your age Jimmy, I saw you with glasses last year. :lol: I do have a fish call tho...

Very good post, Cooch. I believe the better bag of fish should win, not the lucky big bite. A 7 fish limit helps even out the big bite. I would not normally post on a subject like this but, Jigs, I think this is a terrible post. It's not about my opinion versus your opiinion at all. Think about the ...

I have received many e-mails from Western Bass readers about my sponsorship with R2S. I have been out of town for the last 8 days and apparently missed some R2S postings. I have been contacted by two different tackle shops that have placed orders for "my" jerkbaits. I am no longer with R2S...

I don't normally say negative things about our sport or tournaments curcuits. I almost called Tony and asked him to not run the question after I thought about. BASS treated our western anglers second class at the 99 Classic. I can remember like yesterday telling my wife "I don't care if I ever ...

Robo does not offer 50 packs. They package the baits still warm and can't do bulk packs.

Good to hear you're still kicking Mike. You may be more handsome but by your posting name you haven't gotten any smarter. Look forward to seeing you at I-CAST. I don't need any lip out of you KB.

I'm trying to locate John Freese for a mutual friend. If anyone can help me locate him, It would be greatly appreciated.
