Stay away from Johnson VRO GARBAGE!

Anything but Frogtogs. Just bought some Field and Stream from Dick's but haven't had the chance to use them yet.

Just purchased a Fenwick HMG AV 7'6'' flipping rod and am looking for a flipping reel to go with it. I'm relatively new to flipping and haven't found a whole lot of info on the internet. Not a big fan of Quantum but have heard good things about the Accurist. Also Shimano Castaic or Chronarch. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks

I will be traveling from Chicago to Florida the week of 1/10-1/16 and will be staying in Pinnelas County visiting relatives. Looking for suggestions of bass lakes within an hour or so drive. This will determine whether I drag the boat with me or just end up stuck with the family Looks like Lake tarpon is in the area, has anyone fished there?

Bluegill or watermelon colored flukes and wacky worms shallow Cranks, color depends on clarity and temp Jigs dark colored Lake Michigan smallies get craw, gobie patterns or white Every year buy new or different baits to try and end up falling back on the tried and true baits. I just can't help spending money when I go lure shopping. Funny how I look at a lure and think to mysel "If I were a fish I'd eat that" yet I have a few tackel boxes full of lures I've used once or twice and retired

How long do you stay in a certain area when tournament fishing? I've been fishing tournaments in northern Illinois for the past few years on a body of water I'm pretty familiar with. I have approx 15-20 spots that normally hold fish. My son and I are pretty consistant at finishing in the top 1/3 but never abel to get "in the money." I always wonder if I'm spending too much or too little time at each spot. Average fish on this lake system is 2-3 lbs with a 5lb being huge.
