What have you learned about fishing on AO in the past 6 months?

[EZM]

This site is absolutely the best source for gaining knowledge from real life sportmen, fishing the same lakes, using the same gear etc... that is available out there. The information and tips from other guys has been quite helpful to me. I can say that despite being an avid sportsman, with years of experience, I'm constantly learning something on the AO forum.

The opportunity to share information, tips and network with other members is what keeps many of us coming back for a look.

Like with any public forum, there are your share of antagonists, who bring out the worst in us sometimes, but the mods do a pretty good job of getting thier number and taking action when things get silly. It does, however, add some entertainment sometimes.

Overall, this site sets the benchmark for me and the other forum members that I know -lot's to gain from the forum.

PS - we are on here all the time and there has been a few times we "call each other out" (when posting something from our desks during work hours when we are supposed to be working). lol. That proves the point.

There was the R type series older stock but there was also a species series out. Before rapala rods were all based on a Bass blank with some minor adjustments. Now they have made blanks for all different species Walleye, Trout ,Bass, Muskie The rods are worked for that peticular fish awesome rods

OHHHHHHHHH I never saw those at the show , maybe I wasn't looking hard enough , hmmm Ive got a couple small baitcasters that need rods . Rubs chin . Maybe Ill be going shopping I love rapala rods and reels especially for jigging . Being a big man I dont like all that light stuff , a heavier rod is more my thing .

Ya were going to try and play some this summer havn't fish the river last couple years but time to get back and try

I think it was Gramps showing me a rapala rod at the Calgary boat show that has those micro guides on it similar to the Quantum one.

I couldn't believe how small they were but am interested in trying one out. I have never cast a baitcaster rig and just use them for bottom bouncing set up so I don't know if it would even be worth getting one for just bottom bouncing.
