Going on a fishing trip next weekend that involved lots of fishing, lots of drinking, good eating, some golf, and a lot of junk talked.

The river we go to is in the middle of a swamp and chockfull of fish.

If you don't know what a noodle rig is...here it is. Pretty cool too.

Take a 2' piece of PVC pipe. Put a cap on one end and cement it. Take about a 2-3" piece of rebar and put inside the pipe. Take another cap and put an eye bolt/lag through it and cement it on the other end of the pipe and waterproof it.

You then can tie on a Carolina rig setup off the of the eyebolt to whatever depth you want. Now...take a water noodle...yes...the ones your kids use in the swimming pool. Cut a 2' piece and get the 3/4" PVC pipe worked through the center of it.

Now...go to the lake and bait the circle hook or whatever and slide the rebar where it's about midways. It will lie horizontally in the water. When the catfish/whatever takes it...the rebar will shift to the end and the brightly colored noodle will be vertical and bobbing up and down.

Local rednecks have calculated a 3-second submersion to be around a 10lb catfish.

Now...I want to improve on the design. LED lights are cheap...low power...and bright. I'm thinking about putting a little mercury switch on it and when it goes vertical...LED lights light up.

Now...what device (cheap) could I put there that would be a low voltage pull and allow the light to flash versus solid. Also...would a piezo buzzer draw too much current to bother with.

      ESPN and Cam Newton

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      ESPN has a whole is just hot takes and the dumbest takes possible. That is why it sucks so badly. They intentionally drag everything down to a lightspeed retarded level so that it is unwatchable. No jounalism, no nuance, no in depth analysis....just idiot after idiot blabbering/shouting about some hot button issue that they really have no real strong opinions about until the camera is rolling.

      Thielen traded

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Young is the overwhelming priority. We have ample time on them and it's far easier to pivot at WR than QB. Remember that 2026 is year 4 for Bryce. That is 5th year option decision time and also the prime time to attempt to regain resources if a pivot is made. The odds of gaining any assets in a trade afterwards plumment very rapidly(all this depending on performance, obviously). At the end of that cycle, now we are likely in a $45+ million territory for him to remain.  So that decision trumps all others by a mile when it comes to personnel.
