Alphahawk, I'm happy to be reading your posts again. I was able to find your youtube channel last night. I did watch the one with the ul rod. Very interesting indeed. Perhaps some day I will try one out for crappie.
I live down here in Columbia, so if you need any help with anything get in touch. I had my left knee replaced last Oct 25th. not too much fun in that. I'll probably have something done to the right one this year. Take Care of yourself.
