I had seen his youtube videos a while back, but had never seen that site. Thanks for posting. You are typically throwing frogs in and around the "junk" (brush, lily pads, etc.). Because of this you want to make sure that you have enough abrasion resistance to keep from having one break off after wrapping around an obstruction. Braided line allows you to have much more strength at a smaller diameter.

The Rodent has done me right the past two years.

Very well. Try roadwarrior's method.

The bed of my truck.

I still need to check. Ran over there last night, but forgot that they were closed early on Sunday.

I use two H2O Xpress binders. It works a lot better for me than just having bags of baits everywhere and allows me to carry much more in my kayak than I would be able to if I took them all out and put them in plano boxes.

I've caught quite a few the past couple of weeks on a Rat-L-Trap

As long as it's Tennessee orange, and not Clemson or that other UT, you can't go wrong. But really, I try and wear colors that don't stick out as much, but I think noise on the boat makes more of a difference.

+1 for the Rage Tails I also still enjoy catching real craws and using them as live bait in creeks.

Everyone has a mess. It's all in how you contain it.

I'm not struck on any particular brands that I only use. I like trying new lures out, and seeing if I can have success with them. There are some that I have quite a few of. But I'm not very partial to any. Always looking for new lures to try out. Strike King-Cranks, Jigs and Plastics H20 Xpress-Cranks Gammy- Hooks Spro-Frogs Zoom Shimano Reels

Typically four. Two baitcasters and two spinning. Shimano Citica 200E/Vendetta 6'6" Revo Orra High Speed/Team All Star 6'10" Shimano Sahara 2500/All Star G40X 6'6" Shimano Stradic/St. Croix 6'

Zoom, Strike King, and Yamamoto

Some weeks 4 or 5. Some weeks I'm lucky to get out for a couple of hours one afternoon.

I've caught a few off of the 1.5 series this year, but I can't seem to find the 1.0 in Tennessee Shad anywhere!

You've gotten answer anywhere between 2/0 and 4/0. Personally, I think that 2/0 is the right size. So, try and find some 2/0 weighted hooks if that's what you're after.

I've searched all over for the past couple of weeks trying to find a list on all the YUM LPT lures after getting some from Wal-Mart.

I forgot that I had even bought a pack of pit bosses. I'm gonna have to go give them a good go.

Zoom 4" Lizard

This all stuff that I have been trying to get even the basic concept of over the past few years. Still can't do it.

I've gotten some really cheap Yum LPT stuff there recently. Some of the packs don't have many in them so you have to check and see how many are in each pack to see if it is worth the deal or not.

Senkos Powerworms Finesse Worms Trick Worms And some more, but those are just kinda the standards.

Mainly jigs. I've been trying to learn crankbaits for the past couple of years, so I'll still be going on that a lot too.

The article section on this website is a great place to start. Also, look at the "Best of Bass Resource" sticky post within the forum. Many have asked the same questions that you are probably thinking and a lot of the answers you can find there. You've come to the right place, but nothing truly beats time on the water. And remember, when it comes to learning from the internet: Google is your friend.

I still can't seem to get it figured out. I've had almost zero luck this year so far.
