Inexpensive Swimbait Rod
BPS NITRO big bass rod. I was 1 mouse click away from getting one myself. but i dont fish swimbaits enough to justify having a whole r&r dedicated to swimbaits.

Line for baitcaster??
Why not elite? what's the difference, Personally i have never used elite. I use seige because it cast wonderfully,has near zero memory, and i have yet to break off. elite might be just as good, but i wouldnt know. Im gonna stick with seige.

Storage....
I use a backpack for all of my plastics. but i dont store them in my boat. they stay in the house. it gets too hot outside for me to keep them out in the boat.

baitcaster fell in water, should I do anything.
honestley a loooooong time ago when i used to have 1 reel for both salt and freshwater. sometimes i would dunk it in the lake(freshwater) if it started acting up. it seemed to help, but i cant recommend doing that now because i honestly dont know the affects that the water has on the reel.Did it fall to the bottom, in the mud or sand? that would probably have a negative affect. Reel Mechanic on here should be able to point you in the right direction.

top water tips?
I usually only fish topwaters at night,early morning, or evening. BUT i have found that a Super Spook Jr will catch them in the heat of the day and the coldest day of winter when you wouldnt think a topwater would work

Can a St. Croix Mojo 7 1/2 be used for flipping?
yes, but IMO they just seem a little unbalanced, like the handle is too short for such a long rod. i would own a ton of them if it had a weight balancing system. Good rods though.

Sam Rayburn June 16th
If anyone wants to meet and fish im all for it. Im going to launch at Humphry public boat launch. there is a Basschamps tourney the weekend prior but other than that there shouldnt be too much pressure, because thats the same weekend as the Mcdonalds big bass on Toledo Bend. Ill be there, let me know. Maybe someone can show me some new spots other than 5 fingers, farmers,and all of aiysh bayou.

Very High Lake Level Were'd the Bass GO!?
All i can say is fish the new flooded stuff, if that dont work, find the old grass line before the water came up and try it. I would try spinnerbaits and senkos in the new stuff. in the 20' areas Norman dd22's and carolina rigged lizards. good luck

Falcon Rods - Lookin' darn good these days
Yes they are!!! believe it or not a lot of rods are made in the U.S. I know of some companies that have china make some of the dept store rods(Allstar classic at academy) But Allstar makes some topnotch rods. Castaway does the same thing, only SOME are made in china.

What are your fishing STRENGTHS?
I will ALWAYS catch something on a topwater. my next 2 strengths are suspended jerks and plastics of any type. I am also a very very accurate caster. i learned accuracy by fishin narrow creeks.I also have infinite patience when it comes to fishing. I will also dissect and stump or grass line when other people will move spots. I am very confident in pretty much my whole fishing arsenal (with a few exeptions)

Pheonix Bass Boats
One of the finest Bass Boats i have ever seen. near zero wasted space and all kinds of crap on this thing. snake lights, tool caddy,rotating storage,hidden net storage. Do any of you guys fish out of these.

Why am i losing fish on a strike king red eye shad rattle trap?
I may not make any sense with this but oh well. Get a rat l trap red zone. its a suspending rat l trap. you can fish it slower. Maybe they were short striking. By using a trap that suspends you can stop and go retieve and give them a better shot at it.
