i have not heard of the lews as being too much of a swimbait reel. but u never know its good to try new things. for the trout stocks, try both tophooks and hard baits. for exact baits, the huddleston 8", 6", and 68 are great top hook bait. for hard baits, the s waver 200 is a great glidebait that is proven to catch fish.

duck tape fixes everything hahaha. send it somewhere and someone could fix it for u

when beth died i was kinda thinkin she had been on the show long enough anyways haha

I live in Maine...we dont have "outdoor shops". Lol....we dont even have anyone who will repair rod guides. CABELA'S here doesnt even do repairs on rods lol. I called all around and nobody will repair a knife. Its pathetic, really. hahaha that stinks man... time for a new knife

or go dive for yourself haha i usually have goggles and a towel in the boat with me

i would take it to your local outdoor shop and see what they can do for you. i had something wrong with a knife a while ago, took it over to big 5, not sure if u know what that is but they helped.

looks sick man they should make those stock ahha

+1 he does some awesome paint jobs i had a 175 painted

i would rather catch brown trout on fly rather than bass

+1 and those baits tend to have a wider glide than the s waver and other cheaper baits. they are also more complicated and well built

very cool man, i use a shack in my backyard for my stuff and also have a billy bass haha

what do u mean rumors, like of another batch??

when the bass** arent biting lol. hard core bluegill fisherman right here

it does that occasionally

check out dobyns. they have the 795, 806, 807, 867, and the 908. from what i have heard, the 795 is good for smaller swimbaits and top water. the 807 and 806 seem right for your mid range baits like hudds and gancrafts. the 867 and 908 are for the bigger baits. i use the 867 and it casts my deps 250 like a dream. if u are wanting to throw bigger than 10 oz, i would go 908. this is just what i think so wait for some more experienced guys to give u some feedback as well.

how big was she?? looks like a fairly large fish

a friend of mine has the lexa 400. its a monster.
