Best jerkbait?
LC pointers are good, the LC staysee is a good deeper model that I like when the water is cold. I picked up a megabass vision and a spro mcstick, they look good but I haven't thrown them yet. Going back a ways, there was a jerkbait called the hell cat that we did really good on here in southeast Virginia. They were not the best quality, the bills were famous for breaking and the hooks were poor quality but man did we catch them good at Philpott and Smith Mountain lake with them.

Jig Trailers???
I would like to hear what everyone uses as well. I typically use a Paca chunk as they have worked well for me. I normally use a black and blue combo in stained water and a green/brown variation in clearer water. Although I am far from being an expert I do it enough that the tick of a jig bite is one of my favorite things!!

I have picked up 2 of them but haven't thrown them yet. They do look good and have a different finish not a smooth finish.

Roboworms.... False advertising?????
I'm not sure I would call it false advertising but some of the website I have seen don't use the same lighting or camera angle so the colors look different. MonteSS is also correct that they look digfferent in the sunlight especially the colors that have a flake in them. These are fantastic dropshot worms. I like them on a shakey head too.

Got my notification from B.A.S.S
Congratulations, I did this last year on Smith Mountain Lake and had a blast. I was also fortunate to get 3 great draws, Terry "Big-Show" Scroggins, Denny Brauer and Gerald Swindle for Day 4. All of these guys were great and shared a lot of information. Riding with the G-man was unforgettable, he fished hard but kept me laughing all day long.

I should amend that post to say to run on plane in the FOG will lead to bad things!

Sanity Lost in the Fog
I can see where radar could be beneficial but I think that stating that this is a tool that will let you run on plane in the fog is misleading and can lead to tragedy and no matter how good the radar is I hope others will not trust it to navigate through fog at high speeds. I was a marshal in the 2010 elite on Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia, the day one pro (I won't mention his name) took us into and through the fog way too fast, visibility was very limited and he was running with his GPS map (not radar) and I was very uncomfortable.

do you name fish
Yes, but only one in a pond that Hook Set and I fish. He caught her last and she was 27.75" long with a 19.5" girth. The pond owners son called her Sam but we have dubbed her "Samantha".
