DINK WHISPERER

My goodness man...... BEAST MODE!! ?

Daiwa no doubt!

Depends on jig size and cover. My bread and butter is a 1/2oz jig in cover so i like a 7' 3" heavy/fast rod.

Daiwa zillion and Dobyns extreme. You can find both within your price range.

Craigslist is full of "please take my payment for the rest of your life" adds on boats people thought they wanted and could afford. Ridiculous imo, I'll stick to used myself.

#15 Abrazx leader for deep cranking and #17-20 Abrazx for deep Carolina rigging.

KVD L&L

Get em in, get em out, on to the next one!

I'm in Lake Placid Central FL and the fishing here is just starting to pick up. Got 35 last weekend in about 6 hrs. Found a couple huge fish in about a foot and a half of water. Not sure if they were bedding yet or not.

I have two setups with 50lb and two with 65lb. Never needed anything more then 65lb but would never go under 50lb either.

I usually upsize in the cold weather and target bigger bites. The smallest i use is the 6xd. Definitely swap the hooks and the nose ring. I use kvd triple grips and owner hyper wire rings.

Same for me....

Between just those two the max 3d hands down.

I'd be willing to bet that there is craws in there somewhere. And if not then i bet craw lures still work. Good luck

Braid . . . . Leader if you need stretch.

This^^^

50# 832 and fluoro/mono leader for swimbaits and straight 50# for A-rigs.

You're just not in the right area brotha.... They take cards now a days! ? @Bluebasser86 That's a sick looking Phoney man.

I only use one, Medlock double weed guard jig. Up to 1oz, if I need anything heavier then that, I'll use a punch rig.

Lost one today that was easily over 10lb. But we still had a blast catching them on lake Istokpoga.

I switched 90% of my reels to concepts and am absolutely in love with them. Silky smooth, monster drag and pretty sexy looking too.

Don't get what's so hard about this? Anywhere you would throw a T-rig you can throw a jig. From heavy cover to deep structure. Nothing to it man. Tie on a 1/2oz and get to work.

Bullshad comes with #2 hooks which are way too small. I swap mine to KVD triple grips in 1/0. Split rings are already premium on this bait. The BBZ rat comes with 1/0 2x Gamakatsu hooks which I leave alone because they're really good. Spro HD split rings on that one. The rest I am not sure of.
