I have the black BPS weigh in bag but I think it has more holes in it than my dip net.. Does anyone make a weigh in bag that will hold up?? Thanks

If you put it on 24 hrs before you go out you won't have any residue or "grease" as some have stated..

I agree, you gotta know the weigh in time!! Make as many quality cast as you can, meaning make every cast count... Hit your spots and don't waste time in an area that is unproductive.. And most importantly, don't get in a hurry as time get close!! Take you time working your bait, slow down and relax.. I've caught a lot of fish with less than 15 mins left.. Good luck and have a good time!!!

Wish you were closer, I'm always looking for someone to fish with.. I fish out of the local club from Macon.. We fish 3 or 4 at Mark Twain each year, I'm starting to really like that lake.. Wanting to fish BWS next year too.. Several of our club guys fish it and do pretty good..

I use the SmartCull from Ardent, it comes with 6 colored balls with easy to turn dials, one for pounds and the other for ounces.. No more marker boards in my boat..

Been seeing alot of new stuff coming from Strike King, does anyone know when the new rage products become available.. I gotta have some of them Smokin Roosters..

You can't pass up a deal like that..

Sweet ride!! That wrap looks great!!

Ardent is coming out with a new F700 Denny Brauer signature flip & pitch reel.. I've got to play with them some and they are a sweet reel.. We've also got alot of new cleaning and reel care products coming out also..

I write the depth on the lid or the bottom of the compartment on my okachobee flats storage box with a sharpie marker.. Working good so far!!

I love the "pigskin" colored football jig.. Local bass here love it too

I'm from Callao, MO up here in the NE part of the state.. Anybody from up round here??

Exactly, I tried Tru-Tungston a couple months ago and I couldn't believe how much more sensitive they were than my lead weights.. Ever since I throw nothing that isn't Tru-Tungston

Since they only have 5 in a bag I took the 2 bags that I got and combined them into 1 bag without the dividers and they've held their shape with no deformities after a month or so of being tossed around the boat and thrown in my tackle boxes..

I fish alot of plastics and have always wondered about pegging the weight.. I've never tried it before.. I fish alot of rip rap, brush and laydown, not much grass round here.. What are the pros and cons of pegging?? Thanks

I had never used one until one of our local tourney's when my fishing partner had about 12 pounds in the boat in less than 2 hrs with only 2 fish.. I tried them and we ended up with limit at just over 24 lbs.. Ever since I won't head to the lake without them.. Gotta love em when they perform like that!!

I've used baitcasters for the last 20 years and I see alot of guys using spinning reels bass fishing.. I've only used spinning reels for crappie.. Why use one bass fishing?? Finesse?? Thanks for the help!!

Yes I am on Ardents prostaff but i was throwing my flip & pitch reels before they picked me up on their prostaff.. I've also been building these reels and the XS reels for the last 6 months..

I have 2 of the F500 flip & pitch reels and love them!! I won't go out without them.. They are a high quality reel and come with 3 year warranty..

Thanks guys!! It was a good day.. We did get the big bass pot The weekend before I were there they had another tourney at the same lake and it took 23 lbs to win.. The big bass that day was just over 9 pounds.. Not bad for a 500 acre lake!!

I had my 1st tourney last weekend at one of our small local lakes and it came out pretty good.. We had 4 fish and came in just under 17 lbs and still lost by 6 oz.. The big on came in at 8.3 lbs and the smaller one is 4.9 lbs..

I'm 28 and live bout an hour north of columbia.. I have a 17 ft boat and I'm always looking for someone new to fish with..

I was told by the guy that builds the Ardent Reels that you should only put a drop on the brake shoes that are out.. Not very much and only on the brake shoes.. Hope this helps
