hey guys, i'm thinking about buying a new rod for some salt water fishing this summer at the coast. i live in texas so i'll be fishing in the bays and such. I'm looking for a good baitcasting rod for under $100. thanks

ya it was gambler!! and yes, now that i think about it, the dollar deals do seem to smoke the big buck baits! and ya for the best action: i would say gambler is best for the money chatterbaits don't seem as good in my oppinion and the best would have to be the booya brand ones, except the are a little expensive as well.

i can't remember off the top of my head, but i get them at academy in the clearance bin for $.88. not a bad deal considering the action is just as good as the original chatterbait, and in my oppinion you can fish it slower and get better action. :

think it'll work prety good???

::)well lets see a pic of that yours maybe also, i'm not totally sure what is wrong with the motor, just old and i think he might have said something about the carburetor

any other asking price oppinions before this thread dies?? :-?

hmmm good offer, but i think i need to settle for a bit more cash :

thanks guys ...of course i'd keep it if it was up to me, but it's my old man's call maybe he'll have a change of heart anyway, i was also thinking of the $1000 range also, the trailer is pretty good, has a few rust spots but not major at all, and its a Dilly if that helps any. thanks again

c'mon guys! you know it's a beauty!!! ;D

and another

another

my dad has had this old bass boat in the garage for several years, and he's decided to let me sell it and get a new small aluminum boat for my first boat since i'm new to boating. I believe its a '75 Caravelle, has a 50 hp evinrude, been garage kept for about 5 years, doesn't run (probally needs some engine tune-up), needs new battery, but other than that i believe it's pretty clean. so my question is (drumrole please) how much do you think i can sell it for???????

thanks for the replys guys, thats what i wanted to hear

...ok thanks

in a local pond close to my house the baitfish mostly seem to be tilapia, so i was wondering if anybody on this site new of any kind of crankbait that resembles a tilapia? thanks

honestly, everything! i'm a noob to this sport, and probally will be for at least another decade. i'm also shorebound so mostly soft plastics and such for me

it reminds me of a salmon :-?

ya i was just curious about them since ive been hearing great stories of them and what not (not really jk) but they did grasp my attention so i might give them a try thanks

maybe bass are attracted to gasoline ;D and that could be the new sent that will be hot on the market :

just wondering how you are supposed to rig and fish this lure?

i'm not the greatest fisherman, so i'll skip the ones i'm not sure about best rod- not sure best reel- any revos 1. ratltraps 2. dt series crankbaits 3. berkley power worm with chart. tail 4. senkos 5. grubs on a jighead

If you continue fishing crankbaits, you will develop a feel for EXACTLY what it is doing and EXACTLY where it is. Overtime you will be able to distinguish bottom structure, composition and depth. Some crankbait aficionados claim they can feel the fish before they strike! ya i know, i was mainly refering to that you can't literally see it physically while under the water but ya i'm not the greatest yet, so i don't know EXACTLY where it is, but i still got that feel

ps i got 2 of them in the bargain bin at my academy for .88 each ;D

i used this exact same rat-l-trap in some pretty stained water the other day and it produced a nice 3 pounder for me. I only fished for about an hour so i probally would have caught more with it
