i recently got the Rapala Original Floater and tried it out at a lake. it worked great and i love the wigle you get but i had one problem, its soo light that i couldnt cast it out far. i got the Perch Color:
F03
1 1/2"
1/16 oz
Two No. 12 Treble Hooks.
1/16 oz is very light for this so i tried attaching a weight but it just ruined the wiggle. so how can i attach a weight just perfect so i get the wiggle and i can cast it out far?
-thank you
It's probably your line. What lb test do you have, what size rod do you have also ? This counts a lot. I have a 4ft ultra lite with 4 lb and can cast those little raps way out there. If i use my 7 ft with the 8 or 10 lb i use for walleye i can't cast them. I have to use a bigger lure. More than likely it's the line and the rod and it is not setup for casting those little lures. btw, Rapalas cast just fine if you know what you are doing hence the name.....RapRunR !!!!!!!!

Boot Size I am completely new to snowboarding and was wondering how to choose a boot size based on length of the foot?
I have about a size 16 sneaker and my foot is about 11 inches long... I was looking at different conversion tables and got confused. Could some one direct me into buy the right pair of boots?
Size 16... your gonna struggle sorry... Best to go to a shop and try some on or you will get the wrong equip. Make sure the board is long enough, boot is right size and it fits into the bindings.
With the many lengths available in a boot, it can be hard to know which length to wear with what. You can purchase an ankle length boot, which is about 5-6" in height, a three-quarter length which is about 8-9"in height, or a full length boot that can range from 12-16 inches tall. You can choose a flat boot, a small heel, or a taller heel. Some boots are even accentuated with fleece, and meant to be worn in the colder months. Although every type of boot is available for every size, there are certain lengths that work better for certain people. Your lifestyle, body shape, and activity level should be considered when choosing a boot length.
In order to choose the correct length for you, you need to decide why and when you will be wearing the boot. For example, a taller boot is great for the winter, and a certain boot is more appropriate for constant travel or driving. A three-quarter length is a happy medium for some, but for those with large or muscular calves, or someone with very slim legs, this length may not work well. An ankle boot may be more stylish, but may not provide enough protection in inclement weather. Some boots are better used for night time entertainment, and some are designed to last an entire workday. While many companies, including Clarks Shoes, design their boots to provide ultimate comfort for any occasion, it may be difficult to run around town in the summer with a full length high heeled boot.
An ankle length boot is great for someone who does a lot of walking or driving. The size provides ample ankle support, but still allows for range of motion that is common with walking or driving. This length is made for women on the go, and is usually designed with a slip-on, or zipper up style for ease of putting them on, and taking them off. Many women prefer ankle length boots for the fall with a pair of slacks or jeans. Clarks Shoes offers a variety of ankle length boots that work well in a casual, professional, or elegant setting, and all the while, providing ultimate comfort.
The three-quarter length boots are a great option for someone wanting wear the boots with tights, or with thin pants tucked into the boot. For an athletic woman with muscular legs, or a dancer with very slim legs, this length can prove to be too tight or too loose in the calf area. This style works well with skirts and dresses, as well as all types of pants, and can be dressed up or dressed down. This length boot is made with a zipper closure, but can also be a slip on. This length protects the ankle as well, while providing more warmth than the ankle length.
The full length boot is great for warmth and comfort, and makes a nice transition from fall to winter. This style is commonly worn in conjunction with warm socks to provide the ultimate winter protection. Some full length boots are casual, and some are a bit more sophisticated, but both styles provide comfort and warmth in the cooler months. This length of boot is traditionally worn with skirts or dresses in the winter. This gives a woman the opportunity to dress warmly without sacrificing style and femininity. These boots can also be worn with a pair of slacks or jeans. As a mater of fact, the popular “skinny jeans" look great tucked into a full length boot. Clarks Shoes has created many comfortable styles that are either zip-up or pull on fashions. For someone who is shorter than most, this length of boot may feel a bit too big. A good alternative is the three-quarter length.
With boots of any length, there is also the color and heel size to consider. It is advisable to purchase a boot with adequate ankle support as you increase the heel size. You may also want to consider which elements you are going to expose the boot to. For the winter, a waterproof type of boot, in leather or suede is ideal. Some boots are designed with bows, buckles, and even ruffles on the outer side. These are meant to be shown, and look great being displayed with a skirt or dress. You can even find a multicolor boot that showcases your fashion sense, and shopping know-how. As versatile as the boot is, you are sure to find a boot length that is right for you. There are many high quality boots available, but Clarks Shoes Company carries a fantastic amount of ankle, three-quarters, and full length boots to suit every style, budget and purpose.

Lure Trout Pike
For Lure Trout Pike Deals Click The Blue Links Below What is the most versatile LURE?
pheaseant tail, I know I am kind of copying you, lol, but I would like to hear from a "spin-fishers" point of view!
I think the most versatile lure is the Rooster Tail or other in-line spinner. In freshwater, you can catch Bass, Crappie, Bluegill, Sunfish, Walleye, Pike, Perch, Trout, just about any thing that swims will hit these things. And if fished in Saltwater (if there is a saltwater proof form of the RT) I'm sure you would catch a lot of fish in it. The jig-head & grub is a BIG honorable mention as it will catch just about any kind of fish too.
Opinions?
Micheal : Tubes should have been another honorable mention. Just about 3-weeks ago I caught a 13" Crappie on a red & white tube rigged on a jig head. Since then I have bought multiple packs of different color tubes and can't wait to hit the Crappie/Bluegill up with them. Other than that big Crappie I have caught some big ole Sunfish & Bluegill with them.
I'm going with your second choice as #1, Bc. A Jig and curly-tailed Grub is the "booyah" lure in ALL waters.
I know for a fact that a Jig/Grub works for everything in Saltwater, (even Offshore), and for almost every species in Freshwater, (minus Catfish, maybe some Trout species, Etc).
Rooster Tails just don't "cross-over" into Saltwater as easily as the Jig/Grub. (You'll never see a Grouper fisherman using an In-line Spinner Offshore! However, a Jig/Grub is a common lure for Grouper, Cobia, Snapper, Etc.)
But, you def named the two most versatile BC.
I'll go Jig/curly-tailed Grub as #1 and an In-line Spinner as #2.
Why don't we fly zepplins instead of planes? The hindenburg didn't blow up from a hydrogen, it blew up because the germans were trying new combinations of nickel, copper and some other substance for waterproofing. They accidentally made rocket fuel. If you don't believe it then why did 98% of eye witnesses say it burned bright red? Hydrogen burns blue, thats an accepted fact
They worked for the germans didn't they
I don't think there was anything wrong with them - as you said, the early theories about why the Hindenberg blew up were unfounded. (Yeh, I saw that documentary also. ) They just got outdated - airplanes became more reliable and were much faster.
Next Ascent's Double Helix Waterproof Fly Box review
What are the relationships among any combination of these entities?
Demons, Kraken, Ghosts, Aliens, Cthulhu, Spirits, Flying Spaghetti Monster, and Mysterious Locations such as the Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis, Pyramids Stonehenge, the Nazca Lines, etc.
Thirteen degrees of separation, dude:
SPIRITS are another name for GHOSTS.
GHOSTS are from heaven, where God lives.
God was compared to a FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER by an atheist teacher in high school, and as we all know, teenagers are DEMONS.
An example of a DEMON would be CTHULU.
CTHULU evoked the form of an ALIEN.
ALIENS are sometimes the causes of dissapearences in the BERMUDA TRIANGLE.
The BERMUDA TRIANGLE is in an ocean, just like the KRAKEN.
The KRAKEN is underwater, just like ATLANTIS.
ATLANTIS was built by ancient people, and ancient people also built the NAZCA LINES.
the NAZCA LINES were, in some myths, built for spirits, just like the PYRAMIDS.
the PYRAMIDS are often made of stones, just like STONEHENGE.
STONEHENGE's builers may have fanned out into Europe, descending into the DUTCH.
the mysterious, supernatural DUTCH found EASTER ISLAND.
EASTER ISLAND HEADS were built for (in some theories) ancient dieties or animal SPIRITS.
