X2. A tad pricey but great frog. Never did like the Spro. Video on the R2S looks awesome! Have to give these a shot.

One picture to recap your year.
From Kentucky Lake Road Trip. The rest of the guys were still at the bar. I know it's two but I couldn't resist the second one.

Gary should have called them Sinkos. Sounds better.

My Apologies to Glenn and everyone at Bass Resource-Classic Pool
I'm suprised Dozer didn't chime in that you have to have one to waste one.

Interesting Article on Bass Repellents
Be careful if you take a wizz off the boat. That is if you survive, of course. Never know what might get a whiff and come up and take a bite! ;D

Fishing After A Shad Kill
There are threadfin shad in the Illinois river, at least there were. I pre-fished for a PWT walleye tourney a few years back with my brother-in-law and there was a die-off happening.

Gamakatsu Jobee Pro Hook- Rolls over when retrieved...
Like Wayne said, post a picture if possible. I use these and have no problems. The bait you are using could be causing it to roll over. Also, how are you retrieving the rig. the faster the retrieve, the more chance for rollover.

Rage Craws
I'm with Roger. Craw as a trailer and Lobster t-rigged. Craw can be t-rigged also for a more compact presentation.

Huge Spots
Greatest 9 words I've ever seen on this website. Bobby- You sure it wasn't Dozer doing the biting? ;D Some more fuel for your feud.

What do you use when fishing HIGHLY PRESSURED city lakes?
Living near Chicago, that's the only type of water we get to fish around here. Keep an eye on what everyone else is doing. When they zig, you zag. I've found that alot of the weekend guys just throw spinnerbaits as they are easy to fish and weedless. Try something different. Stay ahead of the curve with baits. Try the deeper weededges and breaklines. Or go extremely shallow. If there are docks and boats moored in the water, skip a Senko or backwards Ika under and around them. If there's slop, get into the middle of it. The outside edges get pounded. Try trolling along the first deep breakline with a spoonplug or deep crank. Once you locate them, work the area thoroughly. Good luck and try to stay calm when someone pulls up right in front of you and starts to fish the same contour you are fishing in the same direction. Happens all the time.

Rigging this bait with a hook makes me cringe
Probably have to allow for "shrinkage".

sluggo ss soft baits
Never tried the SS but the BPS by me stocks them. The original is still a killer bait. T.W. has them: http://www.***.com/descpageSOFTLUNKER-LCSGSS.html

anybody dropshot while icefishing
Probably would depend on species. I use mostly tip-ups and live roaches for Pike and an occasional Bass or Walleye. While watching these, I jig small jigs tipped with waxworms or spikes for panfish. Usually one method or the other keeps me busy. Never tried dropshotting but I'm sure it would work. Give it a try. I probably will.

Strike King Zero stick bait
I'm not seeing that anywhere The Zero is one of my favorite stick baits, I love the action and fall of them and seem to catch more with them. Can't remember which show but saw an interview with the owner and he claimed they won't lose the salt. Also that they don't get tacky because he uses a slightly different formula than Strike King.

Rage Tail Smokin' Roosters on Sale @ TW
Thanks for the heads up Speed. Got some Christmas Money burning a hole in my pocket.

Lizards
Can't figure why but when most people think Lizards, they think spring or C-rigged. Like others said, different profile bait and will work anytime and just about anywhere. I T-rig a Rage Tail Lizard with 1/8 - 3/16 oz. weight and fish it through shallow grass. The Rage Lizard is the only one I know of where the legs actually swim on the retrieve.
-
Rage Tail Shad
My favorite bait for most of the year by far. The tails do tear but a little Mend-It goes a long way. Hey Big-O, What new colors?
-
before first light bait?
Much as I hate to admit it, I have to agree with Kelley. ;D Before first light and after last light. Where is Muddy and his Jitterbug? If you are fishing where you might get hung up or snagged every other cast, try a Rage Shad.

You're Invited to the 5th Annual BassResource.com Roadtrip!!!
Besides, the only time Mike leans one way or the other is when he has imbibed a tad too much and forgets to put one shoe on.

Cavitron BuzzBaits
Like Fluke, I mostly use double bladed baits as I can fish them slower, yes even slower than Cavitrons, or fast if needed, but the Cavitron is one of the better single blade buzzers out there.

In-line Spinners
Strike King Timber Spin. I'm starting to run out. Anyone have any they would be willing to part with or swap, P.M. me.
