Couldn't agree more. Voicing the name is like printing The Anarchist Cookbook and not expecting someone to follow through and make a bomb. The thing I find very suspicious is how hard certain people are trying to find out what it's called.

I think a lot of names being brought up won't be entering the comps for a long time. Which I think is a good thing for those who are cheating but at the same time those being falsely accused its a shame.

Do research on it? Unless you're a medical professionally what research are you going to do? If the name was readily available then thousands of anglers will be trying to get it this week. Thousands will not be able to get but I bet you hundreds will and before anything is actually done about the supply of it into fishing industry the effects could wiped lakes out all so the government can say "You can't use this in fishing". The risk for saying the name far out weighs keep it to those who already know. We will just have to agree to disagree on the matter.

You have to work to your lowest common denominator, which unfortunately is an arse hole who is going to try and find this drug and saying the name in here isn't going to make an ounce of difference because even with the name the lakes won't be able to practically test for it at lakes without a lab. So saying Chemical X is banned on a lake rule board won't do anything, but letting thousands of anglers know the name will have a huge impact. The only thing saying the name will do is allow people to know what to ask for and there is plenty of bent vets and people within the desired field for the drug who are selling it not aware of the impact it will have.

It's not just keeping his mouth shut on podcasts. You put your face out there people aren't always going to like you. You find me one person in the media lime light who doesn't get both good and bad press. He is also commenting on posts that don't even mention him or anyone by name. If he is not associated with it why would he feel the need to comment on posts that are not about him? Its no different then me comment on drink driving posts say "I ONLY DRINK PEPSI WHILE DRIVING AND I HAVE PROOF". I didn't watch the Nash Podcast until after I saw him go all defensive on social media retaliating to posts that weren't aimed at him. He is his own worst enemy at the moment

I'd stick with your TX2s, they are great rods for the money, and without spending a lot more you won't get much more rod.
