I started out fishing yesterday and noticed the bite was hott and they were BIG!! Both my buddies started landing 4 and 5 lbers like it was no big deal. Me on the other hand was struck with bad luck. I hooked up on most the fish that bit my senko, but about 1/4 landed in the boat. The fish would spitting the hook or just getting off under the water very easily. This kind of thing has never been a problem so am pretty confused. I lost the biggest fish of my life today so I really need to figure out whats going on. I believe it is my hooks but any suggestions will help thanks. Setup: Rod- 7' MH Fenwick Eagle GT Reel- Shimano Symetre Drag- Somewhat tight but still able to pull. Bait- GY Senko/Zoom Trick Worm Hooks- 3/0 Gamakatsu EWG hook

I live in Maple Grove I will take some off your hands!

Netbait paca chunk and baby paca craw

Curado. I have tested the Revo i just like how smooth the curado is! Like everyone else said you can't go wrong with either

Quantum Exceler or Cabelas Prodigy

50 lb power pro

I just picked up some Zoom centipedes and Zoom Z-nails. How do you guys like to throw these? Thanks, VC

I just got a bomber A in the bass pattern and a Strike King in a sexy shad color. Thanks guys!

I am looking for a drop shot rod and i came across a deal on craigslist that caught my eye. It's a brand new 6' 6" St. Croix Triumph M power F action for $40. let me know what you guys think! Thanks, VC

I have been using them for about 3 years now without a problem. In fact they are my go to bait when i am fishing structure.

I am about to purchase a bandit footloose in the bluegill color. I love the other bandit series crainks, but i was just wondering if there was another one out there that is known for being a better bait. I need either a bass and bluegill pattern Thanks, VC

I'm in

I throw the cabelas flat tire minnow and dont see any difference compared to the "top" brands. They are also $4 cheaper

OK to do? Or not? Thanks, VC

Do you think this rod specifically will work well for this technique. I don't think i will dropshot all that much

I didnt have the link up when u posted. Out of the 6'6" M or the 7' L which one would u go with? Thanks

I am about to purchase a Cabelas Gold Label spinning rod for dropshotting. Out of the rods in this link what should i go with? 7' Light power? I generally like to use 6'6" but if the 7' is better for this technique I will go with this one.

x2 GO TWINS!

4.2 lbs just a guess

I have a 7' MH Fenwick HMG with a Shimano Curado for my crankbait rod. I know this is a little out of your price range but the best setup i have ever owned and i have only fished it for a week now! For my worm rod i have both a 6'6" MH and a 7' MH. It just comes down to what feels better in your hand. Personally i like my 6'6" better. Try the Fenwick Eagle GT for only $59. Fenwicks are amazing rods with great sensitivity and they are built to last for years.

Rapala x-rap It might be the color i am using but i cannot get a hit to save my life on this bait

I own a lot of the lake fork craw tubes and they are one of my go to baits. These look almost identical. GO FOR IT!!

He LOOOVVVVEEESSS that Curado. : I knew this was cumming :-/ yea i went there But seriously should i be worried because there are places in the reel that i cant get to but its in there

I was all done fishing yesterday when i looked down at my curado and saw white goo in the part right in front of the spool (don't know the name for it). What could this be? My line? Any input will help. Thanks, VC
