5bass

I think the lip is a little bigger but I havent even seen a good pic yet. Me too. Fritts is the man. He just won that Tour event on Clarks Hill with these cranks....had 13 or 14 # more than 2nd place.

LOL! I searched TT and couldn't find that....

Is anybody else looking forward to the 20 footers coming out? I cant wait. My man David Fritts has already won a FLW using the prototype 20's. I've already ordered some, should be here mid December. Bring 'em on!

What's the low down on these? I acquired a few in a trade and have never thrown them. They look great, what's the action like?

After fishing thru winters on a big lake, on a boat, for almost 20 years, the most consistent bait/technique has been the jigging spoon. The bass school up and attach themselves to big groups of baitfish in the winter. Where ever the baitfish go, the bass go with 'em. That's how they eat in the winter, its easy for them and doesn't take much energy to bust up into a ball of shad a few times, get a few mouth fulls and then go back to just hanging out. I never go out in the winter months just burning banks or fishing known spots that dont have any bait present. I won't wet a line until I am on top of baitfish. The more the better. Good electronics really come into play during the winter months. Sure, you can luck out and catch the Lone Ranger Bass in 2 ft of water while burning a bank but there's no way I'd even consider fishing like that in the winter anymore. That method has proved itself ineffective too many times. In the mid 30's on up to about 45-46, it's jigging spoon all the way. Once the water gets to 45 or so, I will look a little shallower with a jerkbait, still in the areas where the baitfish are. I won't leave the baitfish deal until the water stabilizes at 49-50. Thats when the craws emerge and the bass start looking to get shallow to spawn. It turns into a whole new ball game then. Micro, the Silver Buddy is a good choice in the winter months. It puts off some good vibrations. A Hopkins spoon is probably my favorite but they are all along the same line. The Hopkins has a more erratic action on the up stroke but they both flutter on the drop, etc...

In my opinion, the best bang for your buck on any of the Loomis lines is the IMX. There really isn't a whole lot of difference from the IMX to the GLX on any level.

Call them like AC said, they'll fix it up. I always deal with Russell over the phone.

It is one hell of a sale. I ordered 30 of a certain item. Dink repellent?

Hmmm....

Are we talking about fishing from a boat on a big lake or walking the banks of a pond? Knowing this will help and will allow more detailed answers. My earlier response was from my experience fishing a big lake where you use your electronics to locate schools of bait that have bass following and drop a jigging spoon down to 'em. This would obviously not be the best tactic walking the banks of a small private pond.

Not at all, I just wasn't looking around for any rods at the time and didn't see them on sale. Bassnleo happened to tip me off to the sale, now I've got way more Heliums that I've got reels. Someone needs to have a big blowout sale on Revo Premiers pretty soon.

Weiss has not lived up to all the hype that surrounded him when he first went to ND, that's for sure. The way everybody was talking, you could've just handed them the National Championship trophy. On the homefront, I'm worried about Bud Foster leaving Virginia Tech for Clemson. If Foster walks he'll be carrying 4 or 5 wins a year with him. It WON'T be pretty.

Micro, the bass should be somewhat grouped up around the baitfish. If the baitfish move into or out of an area, you can bet the bass will follow them. Its not uncommon here on Smith Mtn to catch a good bag with the water temp hovering around 40. The best technique once you find a school is the jigging spoon.

When you're dealing in ounces (or less) nothing is significant. The GLX is just a little lighter but a lot more sensitive. Yes.

I'd probably go with McFadden and Jones just because of the teams they are playing.

Thanks for checking in Burleyman. Good shootin' too

Dont be hatin' on the Raiders RW....we might just win out and take the division. 8-8 might be good enough. Norv Turner is sinking San Diego, the Broncos need some help on defense (like 10 players or so), the Chiefs are playing better but they need some defense too.

In the past week or so I've noticed that when I am on a website like a boat dealership, I can get on their home page but when I click any links on their home page (like to browse their boats) my computer will not take me to the links, as if the links I click are not working. I know that it's my computer though because it has done it on several different sites.

Flat CB MR in Tenn Shad, Aurora Black or Chartreuse/Blue

I'm a Kistler fan but they can keep the Magnesium's. Sure, they're light but the ones I had weren't made very well. You should look at a Helium LTA instead of the Mag. The jump in price is well worth it.

Thad, I started a thread for you in the SE section which is getting some replies so far http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1227063797/0

Thad is fishing for Radford University (Va) Thanks for the responses guys....keep it coming.

Whats going on down there? We have a boardmember (Thad) fishing a college tournament this coming weekend and he's looking for a few tips as he's never been on the lake and didn't have a whole lot of notice about going to do much research. Can anybody help him out?

They'd be in an even better spot if my Raiders hadn't smacked them a few weeks back. ;D WOOOO HOOOO!!!

Happy Birthday to both Tin and Jimzee!
