Vinny Chase

What colors should i start looking at in the with the Rapalas and Bandits? And remember i do live in MN where the prime bait fish for bass are bluegill Thanks, VC

I am just starting to get into crainkbait fishing. I am looking for a few lures that are considered the top crainkbaits to through, and preferably at either GM or Cabelas (the local stores here in MN). I would like a shollow, medium, and deep diver in a natural color like bass or bluegill which those matching the environment in the MN lakes. Also i was looking at the Cabelas dig-it crainks has anyone used these?

You don't have children, Vinny, do you. :-? Hey, I still check the listings for kicks every now & again. If I happen to see something worthwhile, I'll PM you; but you really should be checking every day yourself. Once Spring Fever hits (fishing, not baseball) prices are going to shoot up. If you see something you're at all I interested in - call. I just happened to call the guy I got my boat from within 2 hours of him posting it. In 3 days it was in my driveway. You have to be diligent because, like I said, the good deals go fast. And if you didn't know, like I didn't, no title for boats under 16'. Trailer has one though. And lifetime plates transfer to new owner of trailer. That's a bonus to look out for. haha nope i dont have kids still in college. Thanks for looking out and letting me know about that title tip!

Yea i agree the dome was a horrible place to watch baseball, but a great home field advantage. Cant wait though for some outdoor baseball unless its still snowing :-/ BTW i love Busch stadium that place is beautiful

ill be interested to see the response to this. This looks like it could be a very affective bait

I have heard you talk so much about this line, but i just had one more question before i went out and put it on all my setups. I hear all this talk about using different lines with different baits. Does this line work for everything? In all situations? Or do i need to have more setups with mono and flouro on? Ps I have one other setup with braid for froggin

Hey thanks for all the tips! I cannot wait for the day where i can fish till the afternoon, take my boat out of the water and go straight to Target field for a Twins game! This summer is going to be great

Yea i really do not care about the boat year itself, but the motor...I want something that will last me a good ten more years until i can get myself a ranger

I really love what Storm has done with their products the last few years. Before i use to not even think about purchasing a storm product, but i got a hold of the kickin minnows and loved them, and now every storm product i touch leaves me catching fish. I would think this lure is going to produce for ya

Strike King Bitsy Bug are my personal choice

I have seen some in the mid 90's for around 3000 so ill probably jump on one of those soon

You are not going to get a newish bass tracker for under 3000. You are probably going to have to settle for an oldish one instead. Yea i guess i was thinking the newest i could possibly get is a '01

Do you guys know of a brand i should check out that would be an the lower end of my budget. I have been checking Bass Trackers and Lowe, but if you guys know of other ones i could look out for that would be great Thanks, VC

I have looking for a descent frog rod for under $60. I dont fish frogs all that much so i dont need a really nice rod, but do you guys know of a rod that will do the job for the price. I prefer a 7'2" or 7'3" Thanks, VC

One thing i have learned is always be prepared when you fish. If you go in under prepared you could lose a fish of a lifetime. If you are using what you say that you are there is a good chance of losing that 10+ lb that you always dream of

Another new product that i noticed on Cabela's website. Has anyone had the chance to throw this bait yet? Worth the money? Also how do you hook this bait? Thanks, VC http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0075951124886a&navCount=2&podId=0075951&parentId=cat600384&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=MainCatcat20166-cat600384&catalogCode=IA&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat600384&hasJS=true

i purchased zoom trick worms to try and use the shaky head more, but it it doesnt suspend off the ground like i thought it would. Am i doing something wrong or should i try a roboworm?

You should be using a 7' + rod with H power. This is definitely critical to pulling those guys out of the pads and thick weeds. You also need to be using Braid. I personally use 50 lb power pro. As far as presentation i usually throw it out and let it sit for 10 seconds. Then just start bringing it stopping a few times and start it again. Its pretty simple

Can i get a review on this product? http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0075955124925a&navCount=1&podId=0075955&parentId=cat600384&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=MainCatcat20166-cat600384_TGP&catalogCode=IA&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat600384&hasJS=true Thanks, VC

I am about to start looking seriously for my first bass boat. I really want to get a newish bass tracker for under $3000. Where would the best place to look for a deal like this? If you guys have any other information that would be helpful that would be great. Thanks, VC PS. I do know about how light the bass trackers are and im not worried about having a lighter boat

What do you guys think of this lure? I have heard some mixed responses in reviews, but i trust your opinions more. I also am planning on using the tadpole version because of the fact i live in MN Thanks, VC

I am wondering what i should put/keep on my setups. Right now i have 8lb mono on my spinning reel. I primarily use this combo for plastics and topwater occasionally. I dont have anything on my other combo which is a Prodigy baitcaster with a 7' Fenwick HMG. Im thinking i should put flouro on it. I really just dont know much about what lines are the best in certain situations... Thanks, VC

Now i need to know how what to do to clean out my bait caster. Does it matter if i have only used it a few times? What do you guys usually do to make sure the salt water does not damage your reel? Thanks, VC

Just bought a 7' MH...im pairing it with a my new Curado. I cannot wait for summer! VC

Well i got the 7'. The 6'6 was only in a 2 piece and i don't think i want that. Thanks
