Kistler Helium at 3.5 ozs, paired with a Lew's Tournament Lite at 5.3 ozs (7.5:1) I'm good to go ?

Probably be gone either by the undertaker or the uppertaker!

No longer made ? Shimano Crucial CRC-X610MH 6' 10" Medium Heavy X-Fast

Sounds like operator error ?

Bass Assassin's Tapout Worm 7.5" $4.49 a dozen. Bigger than a Trick Worm so it cast easier unweighted.

Pictures of home projects my wife sends me that I'll never build. Recipes I will never cook A list of people who are gonna save me money if I spend money with them.

Mister Twister Phenom Curly Tail Worm 20pk $2.99 One of the deadliest worms y'all don't throw!

When do you move on? IDK ? I've literally sat on offshore structure for 4 or 5 hours without a bite & then proceed to put a 30# sack in the boat.

This "Neko Rig" exactly what I learned is a Wacky Rig. Instead of Senko type worms we throw Zoom's Trick Worms & now the new Magnum Trick Worm. Standing timber or brush look at the surrounding structure.

Read the above 6th Sense Movement 80X

I'll add ya one ? Throw that same setup but without the weight & fish it like a Fluke. Both work

FYI It ain't me ?

Guess who?

We have 3 but my favorite is Cajun Fast Mart. Fill up the truck-n-boat, home cooked breakfast sandwiches, biscuits, & burritos. Lunch has brisket sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches, boudin balls, & ribs. They have a larger selection of Zoom than Academy or Dicks or Bowie Outfitters. A decent selection of Falcon rods & Lew's combos. Good selections of everything else including saltwater.

Louisiana 82 ? There's one exception, if you were born between 1940-1962 you pay $5.00 for everything except Federal Duck Stamps or Deer Tags. I fall in this category.

So in your opinion how does one become a Pro? Is there a pill they take? Is there a form to fill out? To become a "Pro" guys like us start at the local level & work our way up the ladder. There are some kids on high school & college teams coming!

When I quit chasing bass & started chasing their food source.

It might surprise ya but all the Pro I know & have met are just like us in that they love to talk about fishing. @Glenn can probably tell how easy it is to get talking fishing. Shaw Grigsby is an absolute live wire, I think he makes his coffee with Redbull

Totally agree ? Just because someone ain't a "Professional" doesn't mean they don't know how to catch fish. One of the best bass fisherman I ever met was an Independent Baptist Pastor by trade. The most arrogant selfcenterd fisherman I ever met was a "Professional" angler. Oh by the way we've had some Professionals & even renowned biologist on here.

Stanley Spinnerbaits Vibra-Shaft is a precision ground tapered shaft, ground from .041 to .018, for maximum vibration. The Wedge Blade is one of the most popular blade design for spinnerbaits ever made. What makes it special is the special variable thickness of the blade. The front of the blade has a thickness of .015 and increases in diameter to .030 to the back of the blade. Stanley Jigs® Vibra-Wedge combines 2 innovative designs into one for a spinnerbait with maximum thump and vibration. This incredible lure uses 2 patents—the Vibrashaft and Wedge blades—to produce more water displacement than any other spinnerbait on the market.

^^This^^ ? Google local tournaments, many will tell what they caught em on. I know some will say that's history, I say it's a reference point. I generally start with a topwater, mid-depth, & bottom contact based on the body of water.

Take some time to read Buck Perry he's pretty good on the subject. Everything you're describing is a "break" located on a breakline. You just chose to change the name from what Buck called it.

Breakline: A breakline can have more than one meaning. It can be another word for a drop-off/ledge, or a point of any quick change in depth. It can also be used to describe the edge of a vegetation line. For example, a "weed break" is the area of the weed bed where the weeds meet up with open water; or, where one type of weed meets up with another. The last example happens when bottom composition changes, as different weeds prefer different types of bottom composition. In rocky impoundments, a breakline can also describe a line where rock meets mud, pea gravel, etc. In other words, the most correct definition for a breakline is "Any distinct line that is made by cover or structure which leads to an abrupt change in bottom depth, composition, or cover transition". Breaks are stopping points along breaklines. Basic structure 101 by Elwood "Buck" Perry
