One word? Two words? Is that a Lucky Craft? Is it bigger than a bread box? Starts with a …

Cheaters never win, and it's not what you know, it's what you type in the Google box! Enjoy your internet merits. Use them only for good.

The judges accept Chugger.

Hipsters are never sad, and if they were, they were before it was cool.

Should be.

Doesn't look like that one is living. It could a white bass too, but it really looks like a wiper.

Wrong mouth for a Lucky 13.

Why not just sand it?

Yes. It's wireless, too.

Nope. It's probably older than you.

Nope.

Far left. You got the maker the first time, but what is the bait's name? The 3rd from the left is a TD Popper.

Put it on your epitaph. "He usually wore a PFD, but the day he departed was triple digits." But seriously, I actually find that the technical SPF shirts and pants are cooler than shorts and no shirt.

I call bs - Raider can't spell those words.

Oh, and three Internet merit points for whomever gets what the perch pattern bait in my hand right.

You all seen these? Pretty sweet!

Better to have one of each.

Best? There's no best, but I like my Pop- Rs and my Ricos. The easiest I find to walk is a Pop Max.

There's really nothing that would get me to fish from a SINK now that I've fished from a SOT for almost a decade. Seat time is really the only way to determine the best fit for you. In cold weather, I wear a semi dry suit.

So, he gets credit for telling you to consider the consequences of your actions, but used really short words to say it, and that makes it great? I'm not impressed. Now, tell me he seperated conjoined twins that were attached at the head, well now you're talking!

Make sure you stay hydrated, lol. Pick a prime area to focus your Prefishing on. Once you get a pattern, do the "dipstick" test on some similar spots. Only stick a few of the fish, so you can see the size. Keep in mind, you'll probably have to make adjustments each day, and the ones you make on TX day will make or break you.

I use realistically finished baits as much as I use unrealistically finished baits, so I guess I need both?

I don't use numbers, but as a general guide they help. My preference is developed from feel, and feel can't always be quantified by gear ratio and/or IPT. Most of my divers are cranked with reels that are 5.8:1 gears, or 23 IPT of pickup.

Yes, I use it as mainline and as leader, depending on the specific situation. I find it a welcome advancement, especially that it sinks and transmits vibration.

Too many restrictions? Same restriction as I have on all my other plastics: store in the original bag. Not too tough for me. I like them, especially as trailers. My 1st LMB of the year was on a Chatterbait w/ a DieZel MinnowZ trailer.
