Bass Hammer

I agree with the transition line sucking. Hammer

Two weekends ago my buddy chucked a buzz bait up into some timber and had about a 5 pounder just explode on it. After the hook was set it hung up on a stump. My buddy let out some line so the fish could swim out. As soon as that fish moved a otter ripped it off the line and swam about 60 yards, crawled up on the bank and ate it like a piece of corn on the cob. Still had a purple buzzbait in his mouth. Hammer

The baitmonkey's kin talks to my wife. She has no will power against shoemonkey. I love her though. Hammer

Hey Wood stock here. Regularly alltoona, oconee, varner, rocky mt., and lanier. nwgabassmaster Let me know whats up by you. I love trying new water. dirtybirdnation I work in kennesaw. What ponds are you hitting? Just curious. Hammer

Hey Here's how I do it. First I pull about 18" of line through the hook. Next tie a palomar knot. Then take the tag end of the line and thread it through the hook again. This will help it stand out 90 degrees from the line. Add a drop shot style weight. (These will have a metal loop that is pinched flat) Just pull the line up into the wire on the weight. No knot is needed here. That way the line and hook will come loose if the weight is snagged. You can change the amount of line between the weight and the hook to raise or lower it of the bottom. I like curly tails or tiny flukes but I'm sure alot of other things would as well. Hope this helps Hammer

Man I'm glad the pros are all starting to make more money. Seems like they should try to get it from they're sponsors instead of us. Just a thought Hammer

As a former californian I can feel your joy. Hopefully it won't be too close to you. There is a direct correlation between how much money you have in your pocket and how close they are to you! ;D 1/2 hour drive for me = empty pockets! Enjoy Hammer

This weeks lineup 1. 7' MH fast taper with the allmighty senko. 2. 6'6" Med. fiberglass with something from my crankin' arsenal. 3. 5'10" Med. xtra-fast taper with a jig and pig. (got to get waaayyyy back under that dock) There would be a few unhappy rigs though. ;D Hammer

Hey For me it was really learning crankbaits. I used to just crank them. Now I'm in tune to structure. I try to get that bait to crash into everything. Suspend a little shake it off and take off running again. I guess before I was worried I would lose cranks non-stop. As my confidence built up I found I was using them more and more. I'll lose one now and then but I'm having so much fun I hardly even notice. Hammer
