Hammer 4

Nice goin 90X...jigs are your friend..

Jigs Rule in deep water..

After reading Catt's pist re: experiment, I got ta thinkin...has anyone t rigged the toad, with a bullet weight..? Any reason Not to tyr something like that, i.e. would it impair the actoin of the toad..? BTW TW just got my chart/pearl belly toads in..

I remember that. I swore by it..

WTG reds...keep at it..

Damb you......

Weather permiting..I'm in a T shirt and shorts..and yes I do shower and shave before I go fishin.. ;D

I use to throw a spinning rig with flies and a small bubble...works just fine.

Never have used either, tie directly to the lure. As for follow ups, I now carry 4 rigs most of the time, no less than 2, 1 always has a t rigged worm on it.

I just added megastrike to my order from TW..

No offence, but I have the storm bluegill swimbaits, and so far over the last 6 mos. I have caught Nada wit them, and believe me, I've given them lotsa opportunites...then again you may have better luck with them..?

I would try oxblood, purple, or pumkin green.

Senco...then roboworms.

Glad yourm having a good time up there..Oh, and get some pic's..

Congratz on the win...Note: gonna have to order some megastrike.

I don't care what it's called..I wanna see it..then buy it..lol

I had one like that...doesn't really hurt till ya move the lure...lol Mine was a rat l trap..hope your buddy feels better.

I hate you..lol man those fish sure are purdy...Good work out there.!

I've used Castic, Spro BBZ, and both swim pretty good, just got my Mattlures hard bg...will take that out Thurs. I agree, those baits don't look to be all that.

I find that by doing what Catt talks about or in my case something very simular..I haven't lost a t rig ect for a long time..the harder you pull, the more tangled you get.. heck, I don't mind cleaning the snotgrass off my lures anymore, I just make sure to bring a nice rag with me to wipe my hands. lol

For my spinning I have spare spools, that range from 4# to 8 # test. My main spool has 8# so I have a spare to duplicate that if nessesarry.

Would depend on the size of the girth on a given worm, generally 4-6" 2/0 straight shank gammy 7-10 I go to a off set 5/0 ewg gammy. Of course everyone has their own way fo rigging.. Once again for creature baits, depends on how fat they are, usually a 5/0- or larger.

Not sure if I'm explained it right, but here's what I do re: jigs, or any bottom bouncer..cast out to where I think thereis a hole/clearing..that takes time in it self...I then work my jig back toward shore, when I feel resistance, I lift my rod tip up and crank a couple turns fast, I then let it down to the bottom, and repeat the process..sure your gonna get grass on them, but once you have a good idea what the bottom contains, you can reduce the gathering of grass ect on your lures. Again Note: I spend ALOT of time using a t rigged worm to find clearings or holes if you will in any given pond / lake. I hope Catt has a better, and faster way to do this..lol

Cool...I was jokein about the 10lb'r..I'd think a 10" ragetail worm might entice that lunker in there.. ;D

I dropshot in city park ponds that are only 5' deep. So you may want to reconside using that method. As for baits, I couldn't tell ya, but I would look at the ragetail baits, i.e the toad, craw..ect. What's the forage for the bass there..?
