Interesting...I'm considering a hybrid model so that I can take it inshore fishing, as well as freshwater - as I predominantly fish for bass.

I might shoot you a PM so that I don't hi-jack OP's...

Dropped it off at the shop last Tuesday - and still waiting to hear back with a final word on the diagnosis. Will be sure to update this thread when I have news.

Hey JayP - do you ever take the boat saltwater fishing?

I believe it's just a fluke style bait...he's just not jerking it, he's reeling it fast and killing it

I was also curious when I heard that conversation.

Went and looked it up and found this at TW:

Oh, he's around...just busy working - I suppose.

I talk to him pretty frequently. We have a keys trip planned in June...he's supposed to be joining us for a guys trip.

It was pretty good...

I have a 25P A45 Tempest that I was told was highly sought after.

Hey Joe,
I ran it this morning when I went fishing, and removed my plugs to take photos upon your request.

I noticed one of the plugs (I am calling it #3, left side of head, bottom plug) looks...

My son and I are planning our first fishing trip to Lake Murray at the end of April. I was hoping someone could DM me with information on a few questions I have.
