I didn't notice this at mine, but none of it was the newer F2 series.

The concept of the Alabama rig still blows my mind.

In reality, Wal-Mart had a bunch of Dingers and a few other Yum products on sale for that price. Looked like they had been a little picked over at mine. Weren't many good colors left when I went through them.

Could we bring back this thread to help cure the upcoming cabin fever season?

I've been a pretty big fan of all the H2O Express products for a couple of years now.

Definitely two colors that I want to try out.

These were some of the answers I was looking for. I have heard things along the lines of the recommendations before, but just never could figure out why these things were needed or helpful. But thanks guys, I think I have a better idea of what to look for now.

It also lets us cure a little bit of cabin fever and see all the stuff everyone else has that we wish we had.

My system is a little different since I fish from a kayak. But I use a milk crate in the back tankwell to hold all of my tackle. I have 4 3600 and one of the 3700 Terminal Tackle organizers. The four 3600's are dividing into jigs, shallow-medium cranks, medium-deep cranks, and another with swimbaits/frogs/just kinda a box where stuff goes if I need another spot. Then I have a small box that only has one divider that I use to store spinnerbaits. My plastics go into a medium-sized tackle binder and sometimes I carry a small tubberware container kept in the hull of the kayak.

I also keep all mine in the original bags. Some stay in the tackle binder and what doesn't fit gets put into a plastic shoebox type storage container.

What different features/specs does everyone look for when they are choosing a new crankbait rod? I am considering making a purchase in the near future and would like some input.

Some of yall made a decent haul it looks like. Does anyone know if anywhere will have any "cyber monday" deals?

Look through the paper that is packaged with them. Those are the ways that they recommend rigging them. Of course, you can always add a little twist to that.

I have an old Zebco or two around here that were my grandfathers. I'll try to get them out and get some pics up.

I haven't ordered anything and I'm not sure if I will. I went to Academy and Dick's earlier to see what kind of deals they had. Academy didn't seem to have much. Dick's had 20% off on a lot of stuff, but had a pretty small selection by the time I got there.

I've had two pairs of Costas with Amber Lenses (lost one a pair in the ocean) and another pair with 580 Green Mirrors. I absolutely love them.

Jigs are one of those baits that I have been trying to figure out for a while now so reading this has given me some great insight. Thanks guys!

This for the most part applies to me. But it is tough sometimes for me to try a new brand when I have caught them on another.

Overall, a Zoom Lizard. But I am becoming a more and more a fan of beaver-type baits.

I normally have two spinning reals rigged with some kind of texas rig ready to go in the rod holders on the kayak at any time.

Agreed. I heard an interview with Larry the Cable Guy where he talks about trying to keep his shows somewhat family friendly, not quite the case with Rodney, but I think he's hysterical.

Always good to see another Middle TN guy around here!

I've been a P-Line guy for a couple years now since Roadwarrior once recommended it to me and I was a fan after trying it out.

A little of both. A well balanced, combo is nice, but like stated before you need to be able to feel the bites.

Is that it in your avatar pic? If so, great fish!
