To answer Steveo-1969´s post: The guides are pretty much stuck on tequila sunrise worms, pumpkin lizards and crank baits. As I mentioned in the OP, we only read about all the newer bait-innovations you all have readily available. Thank you for all your suggestions, it gives me a better insight Mike

Thank you all for your encouraging words. I will plan my arsenal accordingly. It´ll be 4 days of fishing, so I will find out for sure. Thanks again and tight lines

I asked the fishing guides for that reservoir, NO craws.

Hello everybody and greetings from warm Mexico. I am planning a fishing trip for the time of pre-spawn to a major reservoir (Agua Milpa) in the state of Nayarit. There is no craw-fish in that piece of water. Should I try to fish with craw-lures or would it be better to scrap the idea?……..Since the fish have never seen a crawdad in their lives? I don´t post much, generally spending my time reading bassresource articles and combing through the posts and learning. To give you an idea how it is here: There is no BPS or etc, (I don´t want to name them all), nothing at all. So we make do with what we can find, make something up or a friend from US brings some stuff. In a certain way I envy you up there for all the facilities you have. But I don´t complain, the weather is a nice treat. Ask Raul. And as an afterthought, be lenient with me if I asked a stupid question. I love the spirit of this site Mike

It reminds me of old times fishing the pacific ocean. In my tackle case I had (among lots of other things) a Japanese feather, totally beaten up with just the centerpart of 1 feather left. That thing caught me more Dorado and Wahoo than anything else. I am still wondering: fish like the unusual?

If I remember right, "Trick worms" float

Thank you, Snake, for introducing me to PM. And, all the way, great community here Mike

I ended up using both. My right hand is my feeling hand, so all presentations like worms etc would be run on a lefty reel. Cranks, top waters or running presentations I would operate on a righty, I don´t need that much feeling in my hand for a reaction-strike and it works fine for me.... Special benny: Switching rod hands let my wrists get some rest. And at my age you take all the relieves you can find

Sorrym my mistake. Please consider that down here is a different world and some subjects or proprietry names or gadgets we have never heard about. Sorry, won´t happen again. Good fishing

I am surprised, the point of durability never came up. Stainless steel is a very mellow steel and undergoes a lot of wear. I read that the life-span of a hybrid-ceramic is about 10 times the life of a SS bearing. I greatly enjoy your forum and normally I am a more avid reader than writer

Cabelas has a much better variety of rods in their combos, especially 2-piece rods. They never have that at BASSPRO
