Are chatterbaits worth investing in??
i used to HATE chatterbaits. i had 4 and lost all of them before catching a fish. i told myslef i would never buy one again. i had a tournament this weekend at a pretty big bass lake and was throwing cranks, spinnerbaits, and jigs. while i was thorwing a spinnerbait in the underwater trees, my baoter was throwing a chatterbait with a different trailer and on his first 2 cast caught 2 keepers. he offered me a try so i took it and caught 2 keepers on it within 5 casts! i am a firm beleiever now and will probably throw them more than spinnerbaits. i think they are awesome

Wake Bait Recommendations
try the ms slammer. its pretty big but it catches pigs. bigger baits bigger fish is my theory

Loving the Horny Toads!
i love horny toads, but i was fishing this last week and the horny toad wasn't producing fish. it was a perfect place for a frog so i tied on a stanley ribbit and it was smacking fish all day. i am going to always be using the stanley ribbits now

Kopper's Live Target Bait Pics
i got a metallic finish and a natural matte one. i would highly recommend the natural matte over the metallic finish. it looks a lot more realistic. the matallic one looks like it will be very flashy and thats good, but i would suggest the matte color unless you are fishing DIRTY water. i'll use the matte one a lot more than the other one

Which baitcaster?
i know shimano makes great reels and everyone likes them. but i got a pflueger president spinning reel last year and it was awesome. since then i have a gotten another pflueger spinning reel, 2 pflueger baitcasters, and 1 shimano citica. get the president!!!! its my favorite baitcaster out of the 3 i have and it was the cheapest. it is very easy to cast and very easy to use. i love it and its probably the only baitcaster i will buy for a while PFLUEGER REELS ARE THE BEST

need help fast... clear water (flashy or matte?)
here in utah, the lakes i fish are very clear. i am getting a perch colored crankbait but can't decide between a flashy matalic color or a natural matte color. in clear water, do you want flashy lures or non flasy (matte) ones? i know flashy colors work better in muddy water, but are they good in clear water, or is matte the better choice? would a flashy bait attract fish from farther away in clear water? i'm just confused.... so i guess the $1,000,000 dollar question is what lure color for clear water? a fast response will help because i need to make my order before everything else gets shipped. thanks!

Do You Have a Lucky Lure?
i don't have lucky lures, but i have lures i do'nt want to lose! any lure over 5$ is worth swimming for depending on the length and depth. but i would be ticked if i lost a lucky craft, jackall, or ms slammer. i would swim miles for those. they aren't lucky, they just catch fish and cost a lot

Texas Rig : With or Without bead ?

Choosing a color
MATCH THE HATCH, meaning choose the same color of the prey the fish eats. thats why you see a lot of california guys thrown rainbow trout colored swimbaits. the bass eat rainbow trout. so just match what the fish are eating

Your favorite spinnerbait.
i like terminator but the durability on the colors isn't very good. booyah makes good spinnerbaits too. just make sure they do'nt roll on one side. i just started fishing them and love em already

best deep crankbait around cover?
i was going to order some normans from tackle warehosue but didn't know what ones to get. the lucky craft i got was in lavender shad color. i'm going to fish it on deep drop offs and i want to bounce it off of the structure. i used to do that with good results but lost the bait.
-
best deep crankbait around cover?
i just got a lucky craft flat CBDR and i really like the look of it. i haven't used deep crankbaits that much and i heard this one isn't very good around cover. i want to get a floating deep running crankbait that i can pitch into cover like trees and down logs. what are the best ones for this situation? thanks

Football jig
it depends on the depth and structure for me. if its a football jig, i like to drag it along the bottom. i like the football jigs in rocks or gravel too. if i'm using a finesse jig, i like throwing it around brush, trees, or cover like that. i like hoping finesse jigs though over the structure. try both ways and see what you like
