Hammer 4

I have to agree w2ith this ^^^^.

I don't have any issues with the mods or rules. Having been here since 2009, I find that in the last 9 months or so, the same questions get asked over and over, simple questions that could easily be answered by using the Search function. Ande then there is those that can't stay on Topic, and get threads shut down. So lately for me unfortunately BR has been a bit boring.

Do you have a budget in mind ? Reason being you could spend well over 100.00 per bait and more for some. But there are swimbaits and glides that are pretty reasonable. Also, do you know what the depth is on your lake ? Good glide for under $20.00 River2Sea S-Waver Glide Bait - Tackle Warehouse Storm Arashi glide for under $ 40.00 Storm Arashi Glide Glide Bait - Tackle Warehouse Swimbaits Huddleston around $30.00 to 40.00 depending on the model. Huddleston Deluxe 68 Special Weedless Swimbaits - Tackle Warehouse.

Unless someone has tried all of the rods in that price range it would be difficult to say.

You may be right, in that I've been lucky.

Never caught a 15 lb bass..........................Yet. ?

When traveling I always put my rods, with reels attached in the bed of my truck (8') bed. Never used sleeves on any of my rods. Never had any damage to my rods or reels.

Either in my pocket, or my backpack.

I keep our home reasonably clean. Like the OP, I can't stand having my truck dirty, although it's white, and doesn't show dirt like say a black color would. It also ticks me off when I get water spots on the windows. Use Rainx but the spots still seem to stick t6o the glass..

Can't help but I have to say it. I don't and won't watch those videos of the Scum that flew that aircraft into the twin towers, it just ticks me off to no end. RIP to all of those that perished in that event, and a huge Thanks to all of the first responders.

Sorry, I'm late here, had to much going on with Dee. Super glad to hear Lynn is doing much better. I swear, sometimes I think/believe the Gals are much tougher than we give them credit for. All the best to Lynn and you. Give em hell Lynn!!!

This ^^^ Get high quality supplements, not the ones from your local grocery store, they will cost more, but well worth it. In addition I eat 2 good sized Banans a day. No more cramps, even at night.

Really hope things improve for ya. Must be very frustrating to go through all of this. hang there bro, will be praying for you and yours.

Some years ago, Butch use to fish out of much smaller boat, and he still caught Big bass. Butch is a great guy, willing to share fishing info.

Been using Rage products since they first came out, and still use them a bunch. Great to see ya on here Steve.?

Don't forget the Huddleston 6 and 8" soft baits, they catch fish and won't break the bank.

9 times out of 10, I throw a spinnerbait, caught many bass on them. Jig would be next choice out of the 3 mentioned.

Wow, didn't expect all this. Many thanks to all of you for the HB wishes, and Happy B day to those who also have a B day...

Cheated death more than a few times, how lucky am I ? Honestly, I never thought I'd reach this age, I guess someone upstairs likes me..?

Done.

Andy, you know that we are always praying for you and Lynn. I sure hope she can get through this, we hope nothing but the best for both of you.

Spring. All of my biggest bass have been caught during that time of year.

Old fashion Lunker Punker.

Have always tied direct to spooks.

If you have a defogger o the window get a pro to get it off, as you can damage the defogger pretty easy. In fact the used 2006 silverado I bought a coupe months ago has double limo tint, which I HATE, and I'm having my local window tinter remove it.
