Swimbaits

I toss them all except for out of state ones. I guess it would be cool to keep them and in 30 years down the road you can b#$ch and complain about how much they are now and how cheap they were back then.

www.ipowerweb.com used it for 5 years as a webmaster and recommended it to lots of friends who have never had a problem. PM Sent

If your really going to use braid for swimbaits, especially the big ones you told me your going to throw DO NOT USE 30# or 40# BRAID!!!!!!!! Look at the line diameter of 30# braid, it's equivalent to 8lb mono. 40# being 10#. Why would you throw 6 oz baits on that.... seriously???? If your absolutely set on braid, do yourself a favor and avoid embarrassment and stick with 80# and use a leader. but please do not use 30# or 40# braid for chucking big baits. That's STUPID!!!!! Rant done :-X

You should step up from your roller ball mouse and get a mouse that has built in back forward buttons as well as a 4 way scroller. It's SICK!!!!

does that line have alot of memory ? it just seemed wiry and stiff but my tackle store guy says to use it cause it has terrific strength for swim bait fishing . do you use it as a long leader tied to braid as your main line ? your feedback is appreciated btw , have you used ANDE mono for swimbait applications ?? Yes it does have lots of memory but it is STRONG!!! No leaders when your throwing big baits. Just use it straight up!!!

I would stick to the small plastic swimbaits. Mission fish, mattlures, etc. When it comes to swimbaits, you don't want to overload your rod rating, you will regret it when you stick a toad

Huddlestons for sure with the wake jr. a close second!!!!

What do you guys know about the Okuma Rod Warranty. I tried finding any helpful info on their website but came up empty handed. I have the 7'6" H swimbait rod. Basically I want to know what's covered (I had the inner insert of the tip guide come out and can't get it in) and how much it is to do an over the counter trade? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys

It's all about the A.I. Bucketgrabber for me.

Fun trip bro. I still don't know how to take it yet. The bite became horrible, so we "trolled" for "trout". The fish we did catch that we worked so hard for were sub-par. We had hundreds and hundreds of dollars of broken parts and lost gear. The lake was stupid low. I just don't know if we can classify this as a good trip or a bad trip yet. I found some gear as well. A snoopy rod and reel. A few flashers and dodgers, a jointed rapala, a terminator spinnerbait... oh and I picked up the big fish of the day. Nothing big, but exciting after a day like this. She went 4-15 I was able to manage 7 though

The number of salmon returning to our rivers are at a staggering low. They aren't a 100% sure why, so while figuring it out they banned commercial fishing and the west coast. and 95% of recreational fishing in our rivers. There are some stipulations, like a certain stretch of 1 mile of 1 of our rivers is open for 1 week of every month or something like that. It sucks!!!!

Get a G-Loomis 956 with a Calcutta 400TE

Very cool pics man. I"m envious right now. All of our rivers are closed to salmon fishing.

I agree with you LM. For some odd reason I can't get myself to jump on the tungsten band wagon. I'll pay upwards of $100 for swimbaits, but I can't pay $8 for weights :-? I still don't get how these guys use them for dropshotting. I loose 5-10 weights a trip if I'm DSing a lot. That's a lot of tungsten. I"m sure it's worth it though. I can see how that smaller diameter will help, especially punching mats.

That's was a epic bite 4bizz. That was by far my most productive bass fishing trip of the year. I threw a 8" hudd all day on a rod that was undersized to be throwing that bait. Caught 12 fish all weighing over 4, including a solo 36# sack, plus 4 broken pb's. For those of you that catch bigger fish you know that bigger fish=bigger teeth... I remember catching a 6#er and noticed blood on her, took a quick pic and let her go. then noticed the blood was dripping from my hand, not the fish. I had cut the web in between my thumb and index finger from the fish teeth. By the end of the day I had "Huddleston Palm". My right hand felt like heavy grit sand paper. What and epic day though. It had felt like I just went rounds with Kimbo Slice :-/ . Even the sides of my ribs were nothing but a rash and bleeding from setting the hook so many times. Very gnarly but I'd rather be hurt from catching then not!!!

I use 25# Big Game for everything right now. I wouldn't go any less with the BBZ. With your situation you might want to bump up to 30#, give you a little more strength for those pike

Isn't that what we've been saying for the past 7 years or so. Glenn, I wouldn't count on it till the clock say's "0". The 9er's never cease to amaze us!!! I used to be proud to say i'm a 49ers fan, but now days, i'd rather not talk about football

How does that alleviate the problem? That is unless you hate songbirds, squirrels, etc. It alleviate's HIS problem. And yes I DO hate squirrels and songbirds if they wake me before 7am!!!

Gotta read up on the rules my friend, especially in cali. That's a sweet PB bro. Gotta love when beatin the bank pays off.

Keep looking around for people, not organizations, that will take them. My parents live in the more rural part of town but had a couple stray baby cats crawl under their porch. They found a cat lady that lived on a giant farm and she took in stray cats to keep the critters gone. So they gave her the cats and a money donation for food and such and went on their way. What about trapping them and relocating them into a more rural area?? I wouldn't think relocating cats would get you in trouble. Cats are cool, but strays are bad news. Good luck with your infestation.

I'd be ashamed to put it in my box.
