So much for offering thorough advice. : I was the one who started this topic, and ASKED for advise. So... I was not offering any advise.

gotta love little kids kicking some a** ! I'll probably check it out...

I've never used a leader on braid, but I want to for some applications this year. I was wondering what pound fluoro leader would you use for 20 or 30 pound braid. thanks

i would only use a swivel if I was using a fluke. Otherwise I would go line to line

I use the rubber pegs, and bobber stops.

thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

I got about 30 seconds in, then I threw up in my mouth >

As humans we have our hands on a lot of stuff. I know your hands can transfer scent to your bait. For people who smoke or dip, dunking your hands in water doesn't get the bad scent off. Besides spray on scent, megastrike, etc...what can we use on our hands while in the boat to not transfer scent ? I heard of rubbing baking soda on your hands somewhere... Any thoughts? Thanks

For wacky rig, I use a 2/0 or 3/0 EWG Gamagatsu. Size of hook depends on size of bait.

Dont think of it as losing hair,... think of it as gaining forehead !!! ;D ;D

Wow, that's crazy good. He could've been a pro ping pong player with nunchucks!

In the past 2 weeks, I've spent $657. I bought one reel, two rods, and the rest was tackle, and I'm not done buying for this spring yet... So, no I think you are normal. I've had boxes coming every 2-3 days for 2 weeks...

this swap is going to be fun !!! It seems like there are a bunch of us Pennsylvania guys in this swap !

your post speaks for itself. your baits sound good, and I would present them in that order. Start with the jig definitely.Good luck. I hope your day is full of fat bass, and not dinks !!!

So, this year I want to use flukes. I know how to fish them, but here's my big question... who fishes them topwater,shallow,deep etc...? also what size weighted hook do you use? Thanks guys.

Wow. that video was awesome. The bass were smashing the spinnerbaits!!!

I've never used flukes, but this winter I bought a coup;e packs of them, and have been researching how to fish them. What colors do you guys use??

Spring can't get here fast enough. I didn't know it was so soon. Great news...

Happy Birthday, and Happy St. Patty's Day !!!

If you use a marker to touch up braid, here's a tip. Find a sharpie with a wide or chisel tip. Take a razorblade, and cut a small "v" into the marker tip. Then all you do is put the line in the "v",hold the lure or end of the line and run the marker up and down. It's a lot easier and faster than a regular sharpie. ;D

I'd like to catch a new PB, and get better at drop shot, topwater frogs (hollow body), and plastics in general. Also to fish at more lakes in my area.

I would try a texas rigged lizard or worm, or a tube. If the water is still cold, remember to fish slow

In my experience , I feel as thought I don't get as many fish using red hooks, so I don't use them. But if it works for you keep at it.

I personally would not buy the truck. The owner told you problems and damage that you could find out on your own. Now... if the truck had that much damage, what isn't he telling you about the truck?
