I've only got one for now but its a pretty good bait. I like reeling in slow with my rod tip high and just waking the surface then stop reeling and let it die with a few twitchs then let it sink a little then continue retrieving. Works good just about the weeds. I don't think i'd want something to go any deeper that had 2 hooks hanging off the bottom cause I'd always be pulling weeds off and I'd probably lose it.

I agree.

I gotta agree cept my kromer is red/black plaid.

I sure a giant muskie or pike would hit that if it was put in front of them at the right time. Big esox eat big meals.

Good eaten size one.

I'm always more worried about getting my bait to the fish then the fish seeing it from aways away and coming to it. Make accurate cast tight to fish holding cover and it won't matter. I've caught lots of bass on fat ikas and senkos in rootbeer colored water with colors that I can't see once they sink 6 inches. Accurate cast with plastics will catch you more fish than flashy baits in no mans land.

He has made 4 post all pimping the hawg shad while putting down a lure made by a forum member.

Would probably be best.

Why don't you 2 just fight and be friends again like boys used to. Forget the name calling and crying just start swinging and when its over all will be good again.

I got a St. Croix avid mh 7 foot fast action with a zillion and its a good rig.

Exactly the point I was making.

Never should have came to that point a 12gauge slug or something similiar would have been the correct tool for the job. That bear was roaming around in a populated area which means it dosen't have the natural fear of humans a bear should have. Thats not a good thing.

Everything gulp sucks in my opinion.

That bear has no more a right to live than a squirrel, deer, turkey, skeeter or even a fish. To say we trespass on his ground is the same as saying we shouldn't hunt deer because they kill people by the thousands in car accidents because they were here first or saying fish have the right to swim free without getting harrassed by us. Pretty hypocritical. Peoples safety and well being come before a friggin bear or any other animal.

How was this bear "causing trouble"? I would like to shake that man's hand also. He took his job description to the next level. Bear was in a neighborhood which means it was in a populated area so it didn't have the normal fear of humans a bear should have and that means trouble. That bear stands a good chance of being back in that same neighborhood. Second chances shouldn't be given to a potentially dangerous animal which a black bear most certainly is.

Good change that a bear that was causing trouble will do so again. Should have let it drowned.

A 2 piece strapped on the back of your pack in a case will work just fine seen a ton of guys doing it before.

Yep. Especially since theres plenty of nice rods with them and I think they really help when fishing plastics and thats what I do most.

Walk farther than the average joes to get to less pressured spots.

I got a couple of the old green bantam curados how does this real compare?

Did you get any meat from it?

Don't over look store brand name rods either. Cabelas, bps, and gander mountain all have quality rods branded with there names. Cabelas has a great deal on there xml rods now like muddy stated.

I've only fished mine in shallow still water but it works good for that. Probably stick to other lures in strong current. Also try pline cxx its as tough as line gets.
