I agree to what you said and I should have said= at times you can get get them to react to a bait even if they are not feeding~ If a bass is on a bed and has no plans to feed,it may hit a bait out of reaction or they may even get mad enough to hit. And what I was trying to say was the tournament on Table Rock the first day it was air temp of 80 and low 50's to mid 50's days 2,3,4 post front,high winds and blue bird sky's = negative fish but yet they did well.Mike McCelland won it, and he did make the same cast to the same spot 10 to 15 times at different angles and caught bass that he knew were there! He would fish a creek or cove for along time and at times a hour or two in one creek and for a reason. That is what I am trying to say!!

I was thinking a size 4 but not sure?

Catt, i am not saying that Dean is not good at what he does and that he is a very good crankbait guy! In that tournament it came down to choice's and water fished.The top 12 caught them on the said baits but found productive area's to fish. In fact there alot of guys that had there 5 fish each day and culled alot! But I think we went off track to the post.I agree that if they are small bass that they are just curious to the bait. It could have come down to down size the bait or speed or color ,action. We where not there at the time. I just offered some help to the man who made the post.

Dean Rojas is know as a frog man! At table Rock the bite was the wiggle wart,JIG,jerk bait,crankbait!

This is a perfect example of let the fish tell you what they want! If the bass were not interested or in a negative mood they would not chase the jig but just let it go by or swim away from the jig! But they did follow it so there was something that caught there attention,weather it was the jig's color,action,size,speed! So now you have find out what will trigger them and that is called catching! How many times have you fished a spinnerbait and get a few fish follow it to the boat and the same thing is true,could be blade color,size,speed,action! Watch the pro's fish a jig and if that would happen to them 99.9% they will catch them fish because they can be caught! And it would be with the jig or a follow up bait!

I know what you mean with the tremble of a jig. Preytorien when you get to be our age you will be able to put great action in a jig! Without trying!

For me it has to do with color of the water and overcast or sunny. If overcast and clear water I may go white but if slop or a sunny day then black I would throw! Open water these rules are the same for me BUT, I may want some red or chart. on nose or belly of the white frog in a clear water open water area.

I would downsize first, and try to keep them out. it could be a color of the jig but I would think it could be your trailer is too much action or not enough?

Yes there are a few hammer's but, there are some Pike in Delavan that are scary!

I have said this before= The bottom of the frog color catch's the the fish the top color of the frog catch's the fisherman!!!! The fish never see' the top of the frog! Just give me black and white frogs and I am good to go!

Baby Paca and the Paca craw enough said!!!!!

All of the above but, start fishing jigs and swim jigs!!!!!

Falcon Lowrider's are very good rods! Not top of the line but, very nice rods.I would buy one again and I think they go for $80 to $150.

Is that you on the left?? Now I am just kidding!

Table Rock & Delavan lake in Wi.

Put me down for ANY of the Lew's reels!!!!!!!!!

I also love this rig with a Netbait Baby Paca Craw. But try the Mustad hook with the weight that you can move up and down the shank of the hook ,give's you a different fall if you want!

I set the hook with the same force that I do with any other jig. The hook size I did not have a problem with!

I did get to fish them when I was down on Table Rock lake and all I can say is, I found a new jig! The *** is everything they say it is!!!!!! It is very hard to get hung-up and it hooks the bass in the top of the head.GREAT JIG!

Wiggle Wart Jerkbait swim jig

I did but the sun gloves and I like them alot! But I am not sure about the hood so any feed back would be helpful. I am not sure about the comfort of the Sun Hood? I do hate sun creams so I was looking into the hood.

The best time is the night before you go out but, if you forget to do your reels the night before.Not a big deal you can spray your reels when on the lake and it will take a bit longer to work in. It is great stuff just spray the line on your reels!

I would think that on Table Rock the Su-Spin would be real good now and would fit in with the jerk bite and the A-rig wright now?

Has anyone fished this Su-Spin by Buckeye? I did pick some up this winter to give them a shot this summer ( if summer ever comes LOL ) . I was thinking grubs,paddle tail swimbaits?

I was looking at the Lake Master site and to order you have to use shopatron, is this part of the Lake Master site? can I trust it? Or does anyone have a site were I trust the site and order the new chip?
