harvey lee HSO Legacy Member Registered: 12/01/05 Posts: 26831 Loc: The back forty	I agree that a jetboat would be nice as one can go about anywhere on the river. "If you're lucky enough to be at the lake....... you're lucky enough!"

rushing Sr HSOList.com Family Registered: 06/15/03 Posts: 2220 Loc: St. Peter	Originally Posted By: Mike Steckelberg* A question for everyone.....If money wasn't an issue what is your ideal setup for flatheads? Custom Abu 7001's on a variety of self built rods. I don't think there is a ONE ideal rod but the one I already use is pretty darn close. All critters hold positions. Some are violent, some are victims. Each alive is an equal and vital piston. ~ Aesop Rock
