I use from 7'-7'6" rods for smallies.

Hmm, If I'm not fishing and your looking for me I'll be in a hammock. LOL

I typically keep the trailers matching the jig. Sometimes I do not though. One of my favorites is a black and blue jig with a chart trailer. This is one reason for the color alimony now.

Cool. Congats!!

Here is a great explanation. http://www.outdooralabama.com/fishing/freshwater/where/reservoirs/pickwick/reciprocal.cfm

I will only eat them filleted. When I cook them I grill them on a salt plate or cedar plank then add lemon pepper or other spices. The salt plate is the ticket though.

I've got some Rage Craws in PBJ on the way that I'm going to start using. I also will use a brown craw or pbj chunk

I hope I do not forget any MO IL AR MI TX CA AL MS TN KY SC Mexico Canada

Thanks Brian. One other note, Typical Water Clarity. Which is the same I would think as Pickwick was.

I havent done a lot of research on Wilson Lake. Is the structure/cover base basically the same as Pickwick was?

This!! Owners are by far my favorite.

I fish when I have time.

Is it time to go yet?

I'd say a smithwick rogue or the Rick Clunn megabass look alike.

I've always used the palomer knot. Never had an issue with it.

Suspending jerkbait all the way!

Awesome guys!! Its great to hear everyone likes them. Thank you all!!

Typically the only difference is location and structure. Sometimes there is no difference.

I bought a St Croix LXS76MF legend elite just for doing what you are looking to do. I also have a SMR 913S-SP which is really nice but I like the Extreme a lot more. I fish both of these rods on St Clair and have caught 100's of smallies on each. I prefer the St Croix mostly due to the handle. I dont know what it is about the LE handles but they are comfortable for me. Both of these rods will drag tubes on the rocky bottom of St Clair.

Here are some of my favorites that I use quite a bit. Finesse 5/16-3/8 PBJ is one of my favorites grass 3/4-1oz Blue bug swim 3/8 bluegill, bloody shad football 3/4 blue craw, blue bug brush 3/8-1/2 blue bug, blue craw, bama craw, pbj, sweet craw,

I have AT&T cell service and went to their site to look at their cell plans for deals. They are offering a 2g data and unlimited talk/text for about 50 bucks for my phone. Total for us went from about 140 down to 90. For both our phones I just saves about $50 a month. So if you have a small cell plan you may want to check it out. This might save you a few bucks per month

Nice fish!! Looks cold. Congrats

For me I typically throw a silicone finesse jig with a 2" chunk trailer or Rage Baby craw. I'll be throwing a DB craw here shortly also. At times I will throw round rubber jigs also but most of the time it is silicone. That is where my confidence is.

IMO the Loomis IMX series is the standard to what all rods are compared too and this rod started the high end market.
