Yeah there were several. RIP BobGlenn

heartless just heartless lmao!

I have two of the 10' rods...love them...you can hog big crappie out of thick tangles without losing them...what is telling (to Me) is when I was hoisting a 14 inch crappie on two foot of line, with ease and little bend, and no concerns with wondering if it would break. Haven't used a rod that would match it yet, despite all the chatterabout the G- Rods, I am yet to be convinced...if they are worth the extra money or as strong/durable as the Boneheads, but I suppose time will tell. The G rod warranty does not intstill confidence in their durability either.

Everyone is keying on sensitivity of G Rods; well the Boneheads are so sensitive, that even a light bite in deep water will send an electrical impulse right to the brain and you will set the hook automatically...just saying ...that is plenty sensitive enough for me...

Will they hold up over time is the great unknown; and if not, will the company stand behind them...since I am hard on rods, I spend time trying to ascertain the durability of new offerings...currently my view on the G- Rods is that they are fragile...I hope that experience proves me wrong; but that is my take, based on what I have researched so far. Hope I have answered your question. Sorry for the rant.

I would really be curious to know if that crappie did escape and survive in that pond , who knows one day there maybe a whole population from that one incident .

I would love to see a crappie that big in my SKILLET...AFTER I had to kick my wife out of bed (so i could cuddle it till I could get it to Athens)... and after I sent the official measurements to BeltonBanger for a lifesize replica...and WAY AFTER, I got Ketchn to post forum pictures for me, of course!

In fact, on my way to Athens, I would stop by Tbox's place and get an OFFICIAL Thermocline Lures endorsement from Granny B herself (with pics), and to ask TBox to drive me to Athens, while I "protected" that crappie from wild animals (and so he could show me how to get there!) Then, I would drop over to Josh's to get an official Bonehead endorsement (and pics)

Then I would have to post up a thread where I told the "story" to TFF'ers and include all the pics taken, including the skillet pic...Now the only way that would change, is if I happened to be fishing with the Big Crappie crew on one of their special deals that come around from time to time...and since I have been with them on a lake record outing, I know they have got the ropes covered, so I would have to do the aforementioned stuff in reverse order...

After that, I would spend a considerable amount of time booking guided trips with Chris Waters, and Cody Standefer, asking if they had seen pics of my 4lb, 2oz crappie. Further, me and ole DW would probably have to take a week fishing trip somewhere just to see if maybe we could catch a bigger one! HA

Now DeadeyeDaniel, I don't know where you are from, but if you want to go fishing with me sometime in the next month, I do know where we can go and get a shot at a 2.5 lb size crappie...it wont be easy or guaranteed, but you may just pick one up that size AND I will loan you my spare 10ft bonehead to try to catch one with...

Crapicat....

Anybody ever tell you that you talk too much? Well you do! !!

Give me a couple of weeks and I will come show you how to jerky lips.

LOL,,Roachie, you are WELCOME to fish with me ANYTIME...just come on over...Good to hear from you.. Say if you haven't sold that black boat yet , drag it on over and you can follow the leader...YEEEEEE

IF you get on a bite over your way holler...maybe I can just magically appear!

Hey Roachie...just got back from fishing...they ain't biting, but I got a pair of big girls (not telling)...and some decent males (13-14in)...maybe 3 weeks till its on over this way...
