I'm a huge Rocky fan and wanted something a little more versatile for those days that start out frigid and end up warm. I now own three pairs of Rocky's. Their the best lasting, wearing boots I've every owned. All Rocky boots are great. Money is really an issue with me but I was still surprised at how cheap these are. I picked them up for just over one hundred dollars. I can't think of a single thing. If I come up with something soon, I'll check back in with You. All Rocky boots are made to last and these are too. Great pair of boots for just over $100. How can you beat that price? 5 Snipe Killer Rapala DT Series Hard Bait I picked the four of them up at Wal-Mart just last month. I bought quite a few that day so I'm not sure exactly what they cost, I would guess as I recall about $4 to $5 per piece. The ad I read said they dive fast and stay in the strike zone the longest of all lures. That's what hooked me on buying them. Excellent casts are easy to achieve with these. Once I got them out on the water I realized they might be diving a little to fast for my liking. I guess I'm just used to Rapalas that aren't weighted as much. I managed to lose one on the bottom not ten casts into the day last Sunday. Who knows maybe I was just day dreaming and forgot how fast these guys sink. I'm sold on Rapala and I don't think I'll encounter any problems with these guys. I like it just need to get use to the dive. I forgot to mention I was really impressed with the side to side action. 2 Bassmaster Rapala Limited Edition Long Cast Minnow Hard Bait I made the mistake of leaving one of my lure boxes in the truck yesterday. Thankfully my Brother had more than enough lures to allow me my choice. I found the Long Cast Minnow still in it's original package and had to give it a try even though he shouted a few threats at me if I lost it. The one we had was the Rainbow Trout. It didn't take long after putting it on to experience my first hit which I promptly missed due to a day dream and perhaps a beer or two. I had one monster swim right up to the side of the boat at it and out of pure reflex pulled up rather than let is sink toward it. I pulled in a couple of decent bass on a day that few others including my big Brother wern't having sucess at all. Not long before we left I lost the lure. I was mad, my brother was mad and the fish were happy. The problem with a lure that manages to work it's way to all the right places is it also manages to snag quite a bit. The problem with a lure that manages to work it's way to all the right places is it also manages to snag quite a bit. The quality was excellent, my Brother said their all hand painted and as far as replicas go this was a Mona Lisa. Great lure while it lasted. My Brother doesn't believe me, but it did have a tendency to snag. It was bringing the hits to me and I guess that's all that counts. I'll be spending my Monday morning at work trying to find a place that still has them. Let me know if you see my Brother sneaking up behind me. 3 Hiding From Brother Trail Sense Engineering Trail Mac Deer Camera Trail Cameras I looked at a couple of trail cameras in the stores and was ready to buy the problem was I didn't have a lot of confidence in any of them. I decided to do some research on the web when I ran across the Trail Mac Game Camera. After reading their literature I was sold and went all out and bought two instead of the one I originally planned on. I'm in marketing and quickly realized this company was building their product and firm for the long haul. I'm sure lots of cameras are being bought this reason, but it won't be long until guys are sharing stories about how this one and that one fizzled out. Word of mouth spreads fast especially after a few beers. The camera was designed for being outside and not for sunny days either. The literature states the battery life is extra long and you should get a full three months out of it which for me is the scouting season. There's a quality Cannon camera inside with a flash unit that is reviewed very well on regular cameras. The units are tough and made for work, I'm very impressed with them to date. The makers should offer bulk buy discounts in my case a little discount for buying two wouldn't hurt, but if a group of guys wanted to get together and buy them all the better this would lower the price for everyone and make more profit for them. Right now they need to get their name out there, for everyone. Also, they should nake the unit in gray, black isn't bad, but sticks out when put against a gray tree especially once fall hits. I'm tough on my purchases. I make a lot and spend a lot and expect quality. It's only been a few weeks since I bought them and I'm already satisified with the quality. Time will tell, but for me to be impressed early is a good sign. If you are preparing to buy look up the Trail Mac Game Camera. You'll be impressed. Camera checking day is like Christmas all over again. I grab the film drive like a mad man closer to my home where there's a one hour photo. All in all it's a lot of fun. 4 J. Murawski Mitchell 309A Fishing Reels Paid about $30 I believe. It was roughly 20 years ago at a local K-Mart (yeah, imagine that) when they used to have the nice outdoors section in their stores. I was looking for a light weight reel to use with an ultra-light rig and this one was a proven performer. The smoothness of the reel is real bonus. Flawless operation and few snags or other issues really make this unit a joy to own. Plus, as an added bonus, it's very light and works well in an ultralight rig. The drag adjustment can get a little iffy sometimes, but overall it doesn't take away from the reel. Construction and quality are first rate. I should have bought 10 of these when I had the chance. I probably wouldn't have needed them, though, as they last forever. If you can still find one, get one. It's a timeless reel that will provide years of enjoyment, and many coolers full of fish! 5 Old Uncle Alvin
