As I get older this becomes more of a problem so depending on time of the year I change line color. I use Berkley Big Game in Mean Green, & Electric Blue; under certain conditions Cajun Red Lightnin'.

Not on your list but I find it an excellent rod for Texas Rigs; Falcon LowRider LFC-5-168 Angler of the Year 6' 8" MH Med fast tip 10-20 lb. 1/4 to 3/4 oz.

There's a point during the fall I'd just as soon stay home; weather patterns are changing bringing high winds, the thermocline has dissolved; this allows good oxygen levels all the way to the bottom.

Now that's a tournament I love to watch in person; bet I could pick up a thing or two Did FishChris get an invite?

This is an outstand jig for worms or Craw worms just add a skirt Owner® Ultra Sled Head Jigs; Ideal for flipping and weedless applications in fresh- or saltwater. Lead head is fitted with a groove for rigging skirts and keeping soft baits in place.

Fishing heavy vegetation requires the proper tools one of which is your choice of jigs; not all jigs are suited for grass. Oldham's jigs are my #1 choice because the upturned head and line tie eye are designed to slice through vegetation. Another consideration is the positioning of the weed guards; weed guard that are positioned near vertical to the jig head will not come through the vegetation cleanly. Arkie heads are better suited for brush/timber while bullet heads are better suited for vegetation. Oldham's Jig Bullet-shaped weed jig All-Terrain jig

Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake your jig/t-rig until it comes loose; many bites will come when your bait clears the vegetation like ripping a Rat-L-Trap. With this heavy vegetation you absolutely do not want to cast; a near vertical presentation is required like Flippn' & Pitchin'; while you may catch a few bass above the vegetation the bulk of your bass are under the vegetation.

LMB: 10 lbs is a hawg but it takes 13 lbs to be a ShareLunker; my PB is 12 lb 8 oz SMB: Texas top 50 the smallest is 6.13; my PB is 0.0 :-[ Spot: Texas record is 5 lbs 8.96 oz; my PB is 2.5 lbs :

I've fished with both and have picked the Team All Star Comparing an IM6 rod to an IM10rod is not a very good comparison regardless of application.

Cool, when is supper

When fishing any type of vegetation my #1 choice is Oldham's Lures Trailer Hitch Jig, 3/8 oz Black/Blue, Gene Larew Salty Hawg Craws in 6 with 1 ½ cut off the tail.

It has also been said that bass don't have hands, so what do you think it's doing?

32.5 lbs is sweet but $125,000 is sweeter

Sweet; another one hooked for life

Not often enough

What's totally natural to me is structure & cover; shallow or deep I know how to read it and how to approach it to effectively fish it with whichever bait required to be most productive. But since your question was lures I would say Texas Rigged Plastic #1

Russ, Pat and I started out 35 years ago, he was my ex-wife's next door neighbor, he had moved out on his own after graduation but was struggling and he would show up around the house about supper time. I got him into carpenters apprentice school and then had him hired as my apprentice. 8 years later I took him on his first bass fishing trip at night on the Bend; since then the student has grown to become an equal to the master both in carpentry and bass fishing.

Oldham's jigs are my choice for a number of reasons. First, the Gamakatzu hook is super sharp out of the package and retains its sharpness better than any jig hook I've used. Second, every Oldham jig is equipped with the Screwlock attachment on the hook shank. This feature conserves soft plastic trailers and positions them securely, preventing the trailers from interfering with the hook point. Third, the upturned head and line tie eye are designed to slice through vegetation Fourth, the fiber weed guards are the right mixture of flexibility and stiffness Fifth, the durable paint job and optional eyes combined with an incredible color selection of the finest quality skirts available set these jigs apart from the rest.

Some days are diamonds, some days are stones, some days I'm better off never leaving home. It usually takes about 3 or 4 bass then I'm on pattern

My #1 partner Pat and I have fished together for 27+ years we are both about equal in our skills.

You do it you clean it up

How Y'all Are? That's why its called fishing & not catching

Hot: carpet stops that problem Slippery: carpet stops that problem Loud: carpet stops that problem

Be safe, be careful, & stay in touch

It does not get any better than a jig-n-craw but one must know how to fish it in heavy vegetation. One must keep a near vertical presentation to be effective; to accomplish this one must be proficient at flipping & pitching.
