    What color were the toothpicks? Did he use any of the 12 to peg his weight to the line so he could pitch a lizard? Is it better to pitch a lizard with braid or mono? If you hang your rods upside down will the lizard pitch farther?

    trust me, my brain has seen way too many curve balls, I'm perfectly good just stayin in my box.

    Actually the curve ball was never a problem, but once I got to the College level and seen an upper 80's low 90's slider, I went from superstar athlete to ordinary workin man.

    The answer to Charlie206 is "YES" to all. If you hang your lizard upside down over night you get an extra few inches out of it.
