WTF is a hair razor - OK well in terms of fishing Hair Raisers are a specific brand of bucktail jig using the banana style head. Nowadays "hair raiser" is a generic term covering all the bucktail jigs much the way "kleenex" or "xerox" have become generic terms. My favo...

Does anyone other than Tognotti's sell Amsoil in Sacramento?

FYI, Shimano bought G-Loomis rods so basically you are now just buying a high end Shimano. It's almost ten year old news that Shimano bought Loomis. Buying a Loomis rod doesn't make it a "high end Shimano." Loomis operates as a separate entity and their products aren't re-badged Shimanos....

My guess is that it stands for "G Loomis 2," an improvement over their previous generation IM-6 graphite. GL3 is the next graphite in their lineup of composites. The difference between the two: GL3 is lighter, more sensitive and a bit more responsive. Next up in lightness and sensitivity w...

The most annoying part about increasing gas prices is that it is about damn near better to bite the bullet and pay 20 dollars at markley cove than to drive down the road to cappel and launch for free. That's exactly what I've been doing for the past year or so. Markley's launch fee is actually $15 ...

The MBR864X has been around since 1999 or so. It's a nice stick but the telescopic handle and thicker reel seat weigh it down a bit by today's standards. It's only available in GL3.

So when is the last time somebody needed a Semi-Auto AK-47. To Go Turkey Hunting. A semi-auto AK-47 is an oxymoron. The AK-47 is full auto/select fire; the semi-auto civilian versions are no different than other semi-auto hunting or target rifles: they fire one shot per pull of the trigger. There's...

The Stealth 1 TowNCharge is a stand alone unit, but works best in conjunction with the Stealth 1 Charging system. You can purchase it from Stealth 1 (or locally by Mike Osgood). You get a heavy gauge wiring harness that simply runs from the back of your tow vehicle to your engine battery. The conne...

But it was the native fishermen who ate EVERY fish they harvested.

I don't care for the Stripers personally and my view is that there are too many of them in our river system already. They are a non-native species that was introduced that is a big factor in the poor state of our salmon fisheries today. (along with the mis-management of our water) Most of our inlan...

Re: "Frank's Track duck blinds"

The Franks family once farmed a 400 acre tract of land in the Delta but after its last flooding in 1937 the Franks decided not to reclaim it and let the flooded tract remain a lake. I don't think they ever operated a track of any sort though...

Texas is also Class III/Title II friendly. IE, it's legal for ordinary folks to own not only full auto weaponry but the other fun stuff like suppressors, Destructive Devices (grenades, grenade launchers, artillery) and AOWs (Any Other Weapons: pen guns, cane guns, briefcase guns, etc)....
