I like true turn hooks and still use them for texas rigged worms. I sharpen them first though because they are dull right out of the package. I use extra wide gap for flukes and tubes.

I like to split shot Zoom trick worms with a small shot with good results. A fluke works good too. Just curious, what kind of tube is that? It looks like a solid body type.

Cannonball Jig

Trilene 100%. It's real good line. I also use BPS brand when I can't get the trilene,

The 96 is a 4 inch bait and weighs 1 ounce.

Legal in Indiana untl January1, 2013. I am anxious to try one out this year.

This summer I bought two Avid baitcast rods from a local shop for reduced price. I knew they were older models but for the price I thought they were worth it, and I really wanted them. When I registered them with St Croix, I checked the date code. Both were manufactured in 2005. I don't care though, they were both in brand new condition and fish like a dream. Good luck!

I also use Berkley 100% fluorocarbon. I don't have to worry about weeds either, because the lakes I fish don't have alot of weedbeds.

I listed all my old stuff on Craigslist and sold it, then took the cash and bought a new Revo Premier. Craigslist is a great tool and it's free.

The BPS Pro Qualifier has a 4.7 : 1. I have the 5.2:1 I use for crankbaits and I like it. And they are on sale now.

I have never counted casts, but I have spent as much as an hour on one spot that I believe may hold fish. I start on top then work my way down with different baits and it has paid off with some very nice fish.

I don't know about the classic, but on the show "Bass Pro's, he was using a 7' MM Quantum tour KVD for the square bill cranks.

Lake Fork live magic shad. Gives the bait a nice profile.

Looks nice! You wouldn't believe some of the beat up boats I have seen for sale that people ask more than that for.

Yes, same rod. I use a Shimano Crucial 7' medium heavy for worms, carolina rigs and heavier jigs.

I used the round Abu reels until two years ago when I bought two Revo S. I loved them and then last year I bought a Curado. I will have to say that I like it better than any reel I ever used. Good luck choosing!

I noticed at the Cincinnati Bass Pro, their whole rod lineup has changed. They carry less St. Coix and Shimano rods and have dedicated that space to the 100 dollar and less rod lineup like Falcon and Abu Veritas. I was able to order what I wanted from the catalog while at the store and it came in to the store and I didn't have to pay for shipping.

I have not used this, but I do use armor-all wipes on my rods before I put them away. Cleans them up real nice.

Great video, I learned to tie a good knot with that. Now how long of a leader should I use for split shotting or drop shotting? Last year, I used 10 to 12 ft and I think that may have been too long.

1. Finesse jig with zoom superchunk jr. 2. Black/blue Senko 3. Norman deep little N chart/blue back.

It is possible that you would be pleased with either one. I guess now it's up to whichever one feels best in your hands. Take the reel you would be using and put it on each one and see how they feel to you and go from there.

I can't tell you anything about the Cumara, but I fish Senko's with the Avid 6'8" mxf paired with a Saros and I love it. A good tip with plenty of backbone. Good luck trying to decide.

It's possible and worth a try, but instead of refunding your money, they might give you a gift card worth the purchase price. It wouldn't hurt to ask. Good luck.

I can't really comment on the pro qualifier, but I have three extreme rods and I like them alot. My favorite is a 7" medium heavy I use for texas rigs. I bought all three in the off season around the holidays on sale. A good buy!! Good luck!

I have a Powell 684CB, and it's a very nice rod, light and sensitive.
