browns/dark green/dark orange/red i like crayfish color cranks but i've found that spinnerbaits with at crayfish color skirt have produced very well

despite smaller average bass... that is one advantage of living in wisconsin... no 100+ degree days

wacky rigging that is...

Just out of curiousity, how are the action of these compared to the senko? I love senkos but they get quite expensive at the rate of one per fish...

I would go with 1/8 oz rooster tails in various different colors

i'm sure you'll be fine... i have a pack without the casing and they are doing just fine

i got the renegade ones at wal-mart... cheap and reliable

until i run out of presentations or my confidence level goes to 0... whichever comes first

Our Wisconsin smallmouth have beautiful coloring... but average size is definately smaller. I catch a 5 lber and i'd be sh*tting myself

I prefer Gamakatsu or Owner hooks... usually I use as big of a hook as i can get away with without sacrificing any of the action of the worm

i'm a softie ;D

Where I fish I know a guy who fishes the zoom salty centipede religiously. Green pumpkin texas rigged with a small sinker a foot to a foot and a half above it. He just lifts and drops or drags it and seems to do very well on it.

Very true... I always check on that and retie the swivel on frequently. I've also bent swivels easily on hooksets and occasionally broken one or two. I use the fast snaps on crankbaits, as they are much more durable...

I remember that... back last winter I got a nice AC70MHF for 40% off... couldn't really beat that

good time for those teflon coated glasses...

in line spinners and zara spooks

oh noes!! i hear the footsteps of the bait monkey

I use swivels mainly because of the ease of switching lures

thats what i would guess... i doubt it will affect the action of the lure at all, and if so very minimally

5" berkley power shakey worm in either red shad or watermelon candy... probably watermelon candy

I figured that it would be something like that... it was still interesting getting a bomber bill dance edition fat free guppy out of an excalibur box

i fish 5in ones on spot removers and bagley shakey heads... they've been working phenomenal this year

Does anyone know what the exact relationship between these two companies are? I was at Dicks today and saw that there were some Excalibur crankbaits on sale for $2.99. Upon looking at these, I saw some fat free fingerlings and fat free guppys that looked exactly like the bomber ones. I even found one that said bomber on one side and it was a bill dance model fat free guppy. Me, being the person who loves bombers, picked up a few of these and hey now live happily with my other bombers in my tacklebox. However... I am still very curious why I got a Bomber Bill Dance Fat Free Guppy out of a Excalibur package. I know Bomber uses Excalibur hooks... Are they like the Kinami/Yamamoto relationship?? Someone enlighten me... so i can go buy more
