Looking for advice on reels for large swimbait rod..looking at the shimano cardiff 400a

1. Is there an easy way to change hooks on small lures like panther martins, roster tailes etc. without cutting off the old hook and adding a slip ring?

2. When changing hooks on larger lures like crankbaits that utilize a slip ring, is thier an easier way than a slip ring plier to change hooks?

Ok, this is embarassing but despite years of fishing for trout and bass Ive gotten myself confused about clip bobbers. I havent used the old red and white devils since I was a kid and now I have need of one. As I recall the line attached in one place at the top where the black button is, but now I'm not sure if it does attack elsewhere also....can you clarify this?

what rods do you recommend ...as in best ever

spinning, baitcaster (crankbaits)(spinnerbaits) (jigging/ soft plastics) etc.

even Catfish, stripper, salmon etc.

Please identify what rod you think is best in its category.

What size line, swivels, trailers, stinger hooks...etc.

I'm most intrested in crankbaits, minnows, and spinnerbaits..but everything you got will be appreciated.

In california, Ive only found one in Sonora..the rest have quit.

Now recognised as among the oldest cities ever Cara;. Peru was apparently an agriculture/ trade capital and is being used to discount the warfare reason for civilization building.

While I fully agree that trade is likely a common cause of civilization building, I think warfare, religion,and agriculture. All act in concert.

Some cultures like minoans depended on thier navies and technological advantage and didnt need fortifications.

Around 1600 bc a Volcano exploded called Thera, now the island of santorini. The resulting exposion created a tsuami that destroyed the minoan culture and may have had a role in the exodus in egypt. In the period of time after the natural disater the Greeks with the only surviving Navy attacked and looted the Minoan culture...and likely finished or scattered it.

The monoan culture prior to its demise was an advanced bronze age culture , perhaps matching Egypt in its time. But the greeks were far less advanced at that time.

I've noticed that names like jesus, john, peter, paul etc appear at diffrent times and places. Might it not be possible, that these names are assumed and that like Peter originaly being called Simon, then being renamed by jesus is in fact a rank or job description ... your opinions and supported documentaion are welcome?

who created the first alphabet?

in terms of iron age or bronze age or special advances...how advanced did "American" cultures become.

Some N. American tribes were still stone age tech when we encountered them, but what about the high end..Incas , Aztecs, and Mayas....or others?

For Wiccans, pagans, or other occult groups: do you make your own, what do they do, what purpose do they have, to what extent beyond ritual do they serve..etc.?

I'm not catholic and not really sure if these groups interpet thier religion diffrently or merely practice diffrently....and wondering how different they can be.

I recently responded to a post on a yahoo user group regarding the new sexual exploits of Buffy the Vampire slayer. If your unaware up to now she has been a heterosexual and often necrophilac super hero, but has now had a lesbian affair.

My respose got alot of attention by the forum adminstrator (lesbian) when i stated that Homosexuality is genetic as opposed to a moral choice or even nurtured response. My understanding is that a gene related to female fertility may be responsible for sexual preference. My question is what do you think? and did you find this idea in ANY way offensive? and if so why?

Anybody been to space camp? what was your experience?

It seemed obvious that Hillary was the DNC choice for nomination..and still may be. The former presidents campaigning in South Carolina has highlighted Sen. Obama'a weakest links....white voters. Which side is the DNC on now?
