hey handyman,


Thanks.  Its going on my mojo for now then over winter i was thinking of putting it on a custom 10 foot lami.  Never gave the name thing a thought but that is a good idea, might have to do that.  I'll be in the asbury area on tuesday and hope to have a few bass and yellow eyes destroy some of my new plugs :D .  if you are in the area at all, stop by and cast a few.  If there is a green xterra around, thats me and just look for the reel.  tight lines bud.

My buddy has a 10 foot lami and he loves it and I have thrown it a few times and have to say it is a nice stick.  I have to get down to IBSP some day. never fished it but have heard good things.  Good luck to you too and let me know how you make out.  If I don't catch up with you on tuesday, I'll probably come down again next weekend.  Now that the run is starting, I'll be down as much as possible.  It will be over before we know it.  again thanks on the reel and tight lines.  hope you get into them.

At least you got out.  i'm a little surprised you didn't get into anything with the new moon last night and the conditions.  but thats fishing.  i think i am going to make a trip next weekend also.  If I do i'll let you know and we can meet up to fish IBSP.  I'll bring every plug i own and give them a try.   :D  I will let you know for sure by Tuesday night.  Good luck tonight if you get out and let me know how you make out.  talk to you later bud

Skidd,

You are correct! it is a Dave T. custom.  i have another one that i am sending him at the end of november.  I'm in contact with him now discussing what design we are going to do for the next one and also the color.  I love the black but would really like to have the second one be different.  He does amazing work. :D

Risurf,
send me a message and we can talk
