congrats on your new PB

yes sir it's the JM panfish model with 3# test

I'd say an average trip of mine would be about 5 hours. longer trips in the boat and shorter ones while wading or fishing from the float tube.

#1) get my 1st 5# LMB #2) start using crankbaits more #3) get more proficient with the jig #4) take my wife's grand kids fishing more often

rebel teeny craw or panther martin gold/black 1/16 oz. spinners have worked the best for me so far

looks like a great day. any day of fishing is good but fishing for smallies is hard to top

most of mine have been taken using inline spinners or twisters. I plan to try other lures this spring/summer.

I got a few late ice smallies from northern Minnesota this past weekend I thought I'd share. what a great way to end the ice season!

I would think about adding a few panther martin spinners and/or a few rebel tenny craw cranks to your tackle bag. I think the suggestion of a longer rod would help out as well with longer casts.

I'd say I average 2 trips a week for about 4 hours each. I fish hard water longer than softwater as far as hours per trip

I also had a break through with jig fishing this year. Now I use them all the time

dandy smallie

Palomar on darn near everything

lowrance expedition c with the map chip. use it all the time for soft and hard water

never used any of those fancy reels, but I really like my revo s. so I'll say the revo stx.

very nice. I'm always amazed by the range of colors and patterns on smallies.

reble teeny craws and panther martin spinners usually work well for me

6'6" MLF avid

power pro and spiderwire stealth. have some suffix but haven't spooled it up yet.

1st replica looks better to me. that 6-4 is a hawg

wow great looking smallies. nice bibs and dog also

spinning, casting and ice rods would be around 35.

I usually manage to catch some dinks. but all of my fish are dinks compared to the bass of most members of this forum

great looking smallie. 5#
