fishing user avatarBranuss04 reply : 

Well I just got back from the International Sportsmens Expo here in Sacramento. I went both saturday and sunday with just one goal... to spend my paycheck. So here is what I got.

Lowrance X96

Crucial Dropshot 7'2" M EF

Hudd ROF 5

2 7" Mission Fish Shad/Trout

3 R2S Jigs

2 1-1/4oz Spoons

2 Ultimate Matt Lures Bluegills Male and Female

10" power worms

Rapala X-rap

Pro's Soft Bait Glue

Mend-It

Eye Surrender Swimbait Wrap

Seagur 6# flouro

$60 worth of Jerky

I think I did pretty good, My girlfriend told me not spend my money on stupid stuff.... so i didn't.

And also got to talk to some killer bass guys from left to right Bub Tosh, Dee Thomas, Gary Dobyns, Skeet Reese, Greg Guiterrez, Dave Rush. That was awesome

Oh yea, and $50 for a license +2nd rod stamp

=$625 and I still had $25 for gas. Pretty sweet weekend all and all.

I've been going to this show since I was little with my dad and every year I look forward to the jerky ALMOST as much as I look forward to the booths. So I always get enough to last a few days ;D I think I got around 5#'s or so. It's well worth it though.

I was sure to put everything away and throw away any evidence away before my girlfriend, because there would be no round of applause for this one.

The R2S jigs are alright, I only got them because I had a coupon for a tackle shop after I bought my rod from them, so i bought some random stuff that I normally wouldn't buy.


fishing user avatarLow_Budget_Hooker reply : 

what's a 2nd rod stamp?


fishing user avatarJeff C. reply : 

good jerkey can cost more than $ 20.00 pound

in smaller pkgs..

5# for $ 60.00 is a good buy !!

oh yah..

in some states, they make you pay extra if you want to wet two lines at a time


fishing user avatarJeff C. reply : 

Burley,,

Thank you Mr. Burley.

I've actually been using the hooks from those giant Rapala Wall hangers.  I use 5 of them, one every 2 feet tied together with 100# braid.

Do you mean that if I am fishing more than one rod at a time I must pay extra? Please explain...

check your local states DFG rules

in california yes, you must pay an extra 12 bucks to have a second rod in the water.


fishing user avatardumb_dog11 reply : 

to clarify further

you can carry 130 rods but only fish one at a time unless you have that stamp

Or....

Get your girlfriend (who doesn't fish) a license and 2nd rod stamp and bring her out with you so you can throw 4 rods out


fishing user avatarMattlures reply : 

The law only apllies to fresh water. You can use as many as you want in the salt. It is mainly geared towards the guys who fish for trout and catfish. Those fish are stocked for the purpose of taking home and eating.

Branuss04 Thank you for getting some of my gills.  ;)

Also You will love the Mend-it!

Unfreakingbelievable!!!!!  LOL.  Now that is a screwed up State.  I'd hate to be a crappie angler there.  LOL.  


fishing user avatarDavid P reply : 

I got my 2nd rod stamp for the first time this year. $12 for it, which sucks!

Mend-It is awesome, you'll love it.


fishing user avatarBranuss04 reply : 

Matt - I've heard so many good things and I love the action of them(Head down, tail up)  I can't wait to throw it in the spawn, it's gonna get wacked.

I already used the mend-it and it works wonder.  while opening a mission fish, I ripped the tail off.  OUCH.
