crappie fishing!
sorry, had too!

I use alot of both. If up on Erie, throwing jerks & cranks in the spring, you can most likely (actually always!) see me throwing them on spinning.

What is up with the hideous, non-ergonomic (to me) rod grips of new rods lately? For example, the new G. Loomis grips or that ugly black bulbous grip on the St. Croix Legend Extreme. Is this a response to what the market is asking for? Do you guys like funky grips? I prefer a full cork grip with no...
