Give it a couple of more weeks. The temps right now in NY are in the high 70's to low 80's(very unusual for August) The waters will be cooling off and the bass will be moving in to feed and will be more aggressive. Then, the spinnerbait will be killer. In stained water, I would use a 1/2 oz tandem willow or willow and colorodo blades in gold and silver or both gold. White/chartruese skirt or all chartruese. Fish it at a moderate to fast pace and throw around visible cover(rocks, branches,tree stumps,docks,etc..)

I only tie on baits. Never used a swivel.

What about a Ranger Z119?

pearl white Zoom fluke with 3/0 gamakatsu EWG hook

nice shirt

I use Seaguar Invizx exclusively.

Big Bite Baits makes a 4" and 5" grub. So does Chompers, Dry Creek, Yamamoto, and Outkast

motor oil, black, green pumpkin, and plum

Revenge

So this is the newest version of the Ci4?

I use a 6'10" med/fast spinning rod with 8-10lb Invizx fluoro on my spinning reel. I use a 3/0-4/0 gamakatsu EWG hook and fish the fluke weightless and with a fast, erratic retrieve. My favorite colors are pearl white, albino, chartruese pearl, glimmer blue, disco violet,white ice, pearl/chartruese tail.

All I'm gonna say is that both are critical in maximizing your fishing techniques and presentations. If you refuse to learn or want to use one or the other, then you're selling yourself short and are missing out on tons of opportunities. You should master both.

I use white, white glimmer, wht/chart, and chartruese spinnerbaits 99% of the time. I also use a white zoom fat albert grub as a trailer 50% of the time.

I've been using Invizx for 5 yrs now and I have had zero issues with it. I NEVER lose a fish to knot strength. I always tie a uni knot. I use anywhere from 8lb-20lb test depending on the application and I fish reservoirs where there are a lot of rocks. Zero issues. The key to fluoro is line conditioner. It makes a big difference.

I use 20lb Invizx

Price of a lure has nothing to do with anything. Its the skills of the fisherman that makes all the difference.

Good Luck!

For me its a weightless zoom super fluke. D-E-A-D-L-Y

a little surface wind will help a lot

Has anyone offered any discounts yet?

If I were restricted to using one bait for the rest of my life, I would pick a weightless fluke. For me, it is the most versatile bait there is. And I dont know how you guys arent catching big fish on them either. Some of my biggest fish I ever caught came on a weightless fluke. Just this past weekend I caught a 7+lb brown trout in the reservoir using a weightless fluke. AMAZING fight and the biggest fish I caught on a fluke.

nice smallie!

This. and a combo of both silver and gold blades. Also, all gold and all silver blades.

Thanks guys.
