Anyone having problems with these lures? The past 2 fishing trips, broke off 2 bills (one of which on the 5th cast) and another broke in half right below the bill, lost bottom half and both hooks! Can you send these back?!? These are my favorite crankbaits but seem to be extremely fragile.

Rapala DT3 & DT4 & LC RC 1.5

im gonna look into the loomis i think. On the cheaper side, would a crucial or carrot stick make a good jig rod?

Here in Pa we throw jigs all year around, it is my confidence bait. What rod do you prefer to use? I am currently using a Berkley Series one 7'-0" MH w/ a revo. A buddy of mine is sponsored by Pure Fishing, so i got good deals on stuff. Now i am looking for a great quality jig rod.

looking to see if anyone knows where i can get the exacrt replacement guides for the bionic blade (spinning) and extreme (casting). i want to try to find the exact ones that are missing on the rods i want to repair. Extreme has a missing ceramic insert and the bionic blade has a missing second eyelet. Thanks

I actually drove from Pittsburgh area to missouri to get it. i was nervous because i drove 11 hours and didnt want to be disappointed. my wife went along, she would have been extremely mad if we drove 22 hours round trip with nothing to bring home. i was excited on the way home. i have not personally had it out yet, we ran it down there. we didnt open it up, but i was told 50-55 depending on load and conditions. it has a mean mercury custom 4 blade prop. he had it at 55 gps one person tackle 1/2 fuel.

Fishing in Western pa wondering what are peoples go-to baits- for early spring bass when the water temps are in the mid to lower 40's.

Graduated college in 2005 bought a 1996 bass tracker, got married in 2006, saved up bought the house which made the wife happy, bought her a house full of new furniture. Finally it is my turn to buy a newer boat. 2 weeks ago i bought a 2002 Ranger 175vs w/ mercury 125 elpto. it has a brand new minn kota 24v 70 lb thrust TM, lowrance X102c unit up front and a lowrance X332c gps at the console. Im so excited to get it out this weekend! Here is some pics!

Just bought a 2002 ranger and it has a few minor scratches, does anyone have a good wax or suggestions on what to do? they are not through the gelcoat

Just wanted to know if these Rods are on sale as part of the Spring classic sale. Im going there this weekend.

Who do you have for boat insurance? who has the best rates? THanks

Looking to buy a 2002 Ranger 175vs W/ 125 Mercury. I would like to know what people think about the motor. Looking to see what kind of history this motor has and if in most cases its reliable. THanks for your help!

Awesome interviews, too bad we cant get these all the time after all major tournaments! Good Job Guys!

i always have a paca craw on one of the flippin sticks, chunks are great also. Paca craws are on sale as part of the BPS Spring classic sale!

The only Frogs i throw are the Spro Bronzeye Frog, in colors Black, Natural Green, Green Tree, & White. No need to get too fancy. Proven baits time and time again. BTW they are on sale @ tacklewarhouse.com for 7.99!

Looking to see what the better value between these 2 rods. I am planning to buy two of these, One spider jig rod and one tube rod. Both 7-'0" M action 1 piece. Two different prices Extreme is 70.00 and Mojo 90.00. Would there be any other recommendations around the same price? Thanks

Looking to buy a Stratos with this engine. wanting to know if anyone has this engine, how it runs, and if anyone has heard with problems with the model, or even opinions of the evinrude motors around the 1998 model.

It seems as though everybody uses green over clear...... I may try that this year and see if i can tell a difference

Curious to when you decide to use "green" tinted/colored line oppose to clear.

I see that there is also a Shenango River Reservior in ohio, how does that compare to the Shenango River Lake? Which lake out of the ones you mentioned in ohio the best?

Thanks guys for all your input. You are right about Raystown, it is very good in the spring and fall, but in the summertime you might as well stay at home, way too much boat traffic. It was tough fishing there in the summer in my 16' w/15 hp. white caps all day crashing over the boat! I plan to keep that boat with the addition of a stratos. everyone i talk to loves Wilhelm. So i think it is important to have a bigger bass boat along with a smaller one to complament the smaller restricted lakes. i think misquito lake would be one of the closer ones to me (cranberry, pa). I may consider trying them out. I have a lot of interest in presque isle bay, im sure its a blast up there. how are the smallies in the bay? Its a shame that the rivers suck as bad as they do. FLW has the Forest Wood Cup on them this summer. Its gonna be as bad as the Bassmaster classic weigh in im sure.

I currently have a 16 Sea Nymph w/ 15 hp. I finally finished up college and bought my home so im ready now to but another boat, looking at a new Stratos 275 Pro XL w/ 115. Do you think that Shenango is considered one of the better bass fisheries in western PA? Im used to fishing places like Raystown, Yough dam, Keystone, Yellow Creek. Are there better lakes to fish in our area? i have done a lot of map studying this winter on Arthur, Wilhelm, and Shenango. Would you rather fish the 3 Rivers than Shenango? THanks for all your imput

See what anglers out there fish any of these two lake and if so which they prefer. Im new to the area (cranberry pa) and looking to see which lake i should start to fish.

I was wondering the same question....
