Berkley Hollow Belly are awesome. I got a pack in every color. The pearl white is my go to color. I would like to try something different because these are expensive. 3 for 10 $.

Anyone on here fishing this trail next year?

Texas...... always texas but next year im gonna try c-rig

5" senko and 4" tubes

I fish alot of tubes and i use a medium fast 6'8 cumara spinning with a sustain 2500..... 20lb power pro with a 10lb seaguar invisx leader.... I love this setup.... It kills !!!!!! As for tubes i use coffee tubes and *** tubes.... The *** are the most durable i ever used

i hated it.....sent it back.... baught some seaguar invisx and i love it

The 4" in my opinion is a great bait. everyone says its too small but on my lake it rips. My brothers top 3 lmb this summer were caught on it. between 4.2 and 4.11. Whats good is that you catch small and big. If your looking to eliminate the smaller fish than maybe its too small but if you wanna catch fish all day long its awesome. Also some people say they fall apart but our experience is that they are tough as nails.

so i would tie on the rig (or one that i have made) and then a couple feet of leader to a texas rigged plastic of choice..... right

I'd like to try carolina rigging. Am i better off to use the pre-done rigs or should i build them myself? I found these... Tackle warehouse http://www.***.com/descpage-TBCRR.html Basspro http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_15792____SearchResults

Anyone try out the new rapala lures... -flat rap -max rap -clacklin rap (new smaller size) -Dt thug If you have tried em what did you think?

yea i totally agree but we were sayin, if only it were possible just imagine the action The action would be crazy. I use ALOT of tubes and when i throw them in 8ft of water the action they would have spinning all the way down would be crazy

I looked at the nitro 189 and the ranger reata 186. I ended up with the ranger and i love it. Its amazing. Another guy that i met on my lake has a 189 and its a good boat but the reata 186 is a awesome boat. Plus you can put 7' rods in the locker.

Its crazy how sometimes some baits work for some and not for others. Like i said before the tt swimbaits worked great up here. After reading the reviews on this website me and my brother hit up *** and have since used it everytime we go fishing. This thing is a producer for us. I agree that it is small but..... its hard to complain when we caught alot of nice 4+lb fish on it. I cant wait for the 5" to come out i will definetly order a couple. As for the spro i will probably pick one up eventually but theres no rush.

All tubes that are on the market right now are very similar... I just thought that if Big O can come out with amazing baits like he has that he could surely take a tube and make something crazy out of it. Imagine a tube with little Rage tenticles.... just a thought

4" trulife in babybass..... my brother used it all summer and killed it.... he caught his pb 4.10 lb lmb in a tourney... awesome action and tough as nails...

I love rage tail baits and i love fishing tubes. The only thing i wish is that they would come up with a "Rage tail tube" of some kind. Right now im using alot of *** and strike king coffee tubes. BIG-O if your listening help me out and hook me up with some rage tail tubes...

Anyone try these... sounds like a decent idea. http://www.***.com/descpageBSTARHK-BSSTH.html

ive used elite and i like it but am thinking of trying siege. Has anyone used both and if so what were the differences.... Thanks

well i live in montreal, canada and i basically wanna drive down to lake erie, sleep in a hotel and go fishing for 2 or 3 days. the largest small mouth i ever caught was 4.1. I dont need a pro but i would like someone with a good rig that will do his best to bring me on the fish.

Thanks... I wanna catch smallmouth thats it thats all. As for the lake.... i wanna go where im gonna catch em...

Anyone know of a good guide for lake Erie? Im looking for MONSTER SMALLMOUTH. I keep seing them on tv and i want to catch em!!!

Anyone using it????

Williams Wabbler!!!

I would hope that everyone who is participating in this thread and that is commentating on the shimano Core actually uses it or has atleast tried it. I own a Core, a curado e7 and a curado e5 and as much as i love the curados when i use my core i notice a huge difference. The core is a amazing reel. I have it matched on a cumara and the combo is far greater than any other combo i have ever tried. That said do i think its worth that much more than a curado.... yes, but i do not have 3 of them. Every reel has its place. My curado e7 is used for spinnerbaits and buzzbaits and my curado e5 is used for crankbaits/ treble hooks. My core is used exclusively for soft plastic. This conversation is like the one that was going on not too long ago about stradic vs sustain. I own a sustain and like it alot more than my brothers stradic. Personal preference. And above all this shimano offers the best service of any company i have ever dealt with I wouldnnt trade my core for anything and i think its worth every penny!

I love these!!!! My only problem is that a stupid pike torn it off and cut my line taking the one weighted hook that came with the package. If you are using these or a similar swimbait what hooks are you using???
