I use Trilene XL Smooth Casting and I found out the line has very low memory. I don' even have to change it after a trip. All I do is check the line for bumps and cut it off... altho, i think i should change it more often now since it could of been stretched out quite a bit. thanks for all the helpful tips. i dont think i will take apart my reels tho to lube them. i watched the video and it looks confusing.

why do bass eat bass anyways.

there are spinnerbait/buzzbait tackle boxes for liek 10 bucks, but they kinda suck as well... they don't really lock the spinnerbaits in place after you hang then up. if you happen to knock the box over, they fall out of place. i would be interested in someone recommend me something better.

3.5" SK coffee tubes 4-5" grubs live pointer jerbait are the 3 baits i've caught smb on... i haven't used a spinnerbait, crankbait or top water for smallmouth yet.

I got a few questions about how to take care of my rod and reels. How often do I change my line if it's mono or braid? I saw some Quantum Hot Sauce Oil and Grease, Is the Oil for the baitcaster and grease for my spinning reels? How often should I be lubing them? Any tips?

Terminator T-1

clear clear water = MS American Shad clear water or stained = Ghost Minnow stained or muddy = Chartruese Shad. but if I had choose one, it would be the Chart. Shad because it can cover all situations pretty well.

here is something interesting i read: "In cold water, bass respond better to a tight-wobbling crankbait, said FLW Tour pro George Cochran. All fish are conserving energy then, and they use the least amount of energy they can get by with. Baitfish move in short bursts. When the water heats up in the summertime, fish get sluggish and swim with a lazy wobble. Bass think a wide-wobbling crankbait is a big shad or a big bream. A wide wobble looks natural to them at that time.

watermelon w/ black or watermelon w/ red is my favourite summer time colour. but green pumpkin is great too. if i am catching lots of fish, i like to use Bubble gum or bright pink to shock them. they go nuts over this colour.

man... wow that fish is a fat one....

nice pictures... the T1 spinnerbait looks just as great as the smallmouths, hahaha...

wide in warmer conditions, tight in cooler conditions was what i was told awhile back. i follow those and usually i just know what to use. i think if i want to burn a bait back, i would pick a tight lure. i'm not really sure tho, i mostly have wide wobble lures. maybe i should do a google search and see whatt i could find.

i have A LOT of bomber crankbaits. almost 90% of crankbaits from medium runners to deep are from the fat free shad family. they are great baits.

awwwww man... that is horrible news indeed. it could take a few years for things to go back to normal, but that depends on how much effort is put into the process of recovery. i fish this one lake in southern ottawa, it used to be a hot spot, but someone told me they are going to shut down fishing for a year so that the numbers go back up. i wonder if a year will help.

that picture is sooo nice... use it for ur background desktop. throw the buzzbait...

fat free shad in white or firetiger

white is my favourite color for crankbaits, then firetiger.

those are some good looking fishes.... top water is awesome, altho i rarely use top water lures... = ;D

X2 bunch of hobos stealing things that don't blong to them. I hope they get hurt. seriously.

GREEN INDEEDIE!

hahaaha....!!

my new favourite are the bill lewis red zone rat-l-traps. they suspends and are great for a fast retrieve with a pause then burn it again.

wow those are some really good colours... can i buy some of those off you? they are great colours.

funny indeed... even funnier that he pulled out the camera to take a few snaps.

haha second picture is priceless... i would guess the SM would be 4 and 1/4 pounds.
