Rat-L-Trap or jerk bait

Ahh. My mistake

BPS has them listed at $24.99

These are a pretty good idea, but at $25 a piece, you could probably save a bunch of money with some good tubberware containers and thick pieces of cardboard stuck in there for dividers. Just a thought.

I like both the Zoom and SK Finesse Worms

These are always my favorite threads. Just a ton of information about the fish themselves and how to find them. Not a meantiom of a lire choice, color, or anything. Just flat out info about fishing. Awesome

This.

I've tried the Sexy Shad color on different baits with moderate success. What water clarity does everyone find they work best in?

I don't have any real "data" to back this up, but I think so. I like the Rage Rig on all of the Rage Tail products, have even carried this technique over to other plastics.Edit: Whenthe time is right for the rig. Other times I still like a Texas rig.

Thanks for all the responses guys! I had tried the Google earth thing in the past with some good results, but y'all just gave me a huge list of resources to use. Thanks!

Are y'all using the housing that comes with it or the dive housing while you are on the water? I got one for Christmas, but have yet to use it on the water.

I probably like Rage Tail products the most, but Zoom may have the widest selection when it comes to different styles and colors of baits.

I expected a little bit of a better game out of Texas. Glad Tennessee ended up hiring Butch Jones instead of Charlie Strong. Headed to Jacksonville Thursday to watch my Vols play Iowa Friday, but I might be just as excited for the New Years Day playoff games.

What sort of color variations do you like in this part of the country?

Ahh. I had never made that connection. In regards to changing out the hooks on the Luck E Strike lures, are you choosing to put the VMCs on them like Lucky Craft puts on theirs.

I thought that LC ones were discontinued, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the help!

Fishing from a kayak. Just looking to gain any knowledge that I can before getting on the water.

You using a Do-it mold?

I'm spending my winter trying to scope out new places to fish. Some of these include smaller, public fishing lakes. However, I am unable to find any type of topo maps for some of these places. How do you handle a situation like this and what other things can you look at to determine the basic topography of a lake before going to fish?

I'm partial to Shimano. Everyone loves the Curado, but ever since they released the Citica in three different gear ratio options, I have found them to be a good option even in comparison to the older model Citicas that were already great. Edit: The Citica can be found for ~$120 new, while the Curado are around ~$170 new. I'm sure you could find better deals than this, but just thought I would throw it out there for price comparison purposes.

x2. This has seemed to work well for me over the past couple of years.

I guess I'm just wondering, if you find a particular brand's lure works, do you still find yourself buying others? I know I'm guilty of this fairly often.

Most soft plastic companies make the same styles in most baits. Lets take the "beaver" style bait for example. Currently I own at minimum 4-5 different companies variation of this lure. Sometimes I get bogged down on what to take on a particular trip. If I think that this bait will be productive on a particular day, it seems like I am loading up on every single one that I have. How many different brands or variations of the same bait do you carry? And how have you solved the problem of which ones to take?
