one of my fav. worms,they are long but skinny the action is great and bass just pound on these things all day long,i never leave home without them in my bag.just wish they made a 12" in white.i also like the netbait 12" worm in white works good on a shakey head or up top on slop. www.bogbaits.com makes some sweet HUGE worms/snakes.

x2,i have this rod and i like it alot for deep cranks,its lighter then labeled i think and it has good action,the winch is a great choice for crankin with the low gears on it,that will be a very nice crank setup.i have an abu roundie on mine and it handles med-deep cranks well.i dont use braid on mine though not sure how those guides will handle it i use 100%fluoro 15-17 lb.

x2 on dock skippin and drop shots.thats bout it.or if its balls out windy that day.

Hey Natural, My problem with Hot sauce is at both ends of the temp range. In cold temps (below 45), I found that it gummed up on me. On the other end of the thermometer (about 85+), it thins out and really caused the reel to scream on a cast (even the first time out after a cleaning). Any where between those 2 ranges I mentioned, I didn't have a problem with it. Fair enough, though I'm surprised to hear that Hot Sauce would gum up being as thin as it is. I definitely wouldn't recommend the Sauce or Yellow Rocket Fuel for folks that only break down their reels once a year; both are just too thin to keep your bearings protected that long. There is a reason the factory packs them so full of grease and oil; the average user doesn't flush as often as they should. i flush after every time i go ;D

craws,i love jig n pigs in timber,lizards(floating ones too) and big 12" worms(snakes)

im lookin for a nice mid grade rod for my pops for fathers day and was wondering what you guys think of these rods,they look pretty nice and have good components but was just wondering if any of you have them or have handled them and how they are? thanks guys. http://www.***.com/descpageRDCAIRRUS-ACO.html

check st.croix avids and mojos,look @ carrot sticks and id try looking at the new falcon bucoos,also cant ever go wrong with a shimano.or if you got a cabelas near you they have there topline rods on sale now the xmlti out the door for $100,thats a steal.

the xmlti is a sweet rod that and my custom made are a few of my fav. rods,i like the look and feel of it,and its on sale to id jump on that if you can bank it.

i agree, but i once wore contacts and was very used to them....... but after many years without them, they irritate my eyes till no end, i cant even stand the thought of putting them in!!!! if you can bear the contacts........ go for it.... for all others like me, you'll have to side with other options :-/ i just recently saw an ad for new wiley x sunnies that go over your reg. glasses and they actualy look good.worth cheking out if you sport rx glasses.

feebay for oakleys.some del mars are ok looking.

x2 on the zillion if you got the pockets for it.

i have done this on a bps rod and it turned out fine,but remember all rod makes cork is different,but i used a dremel tool with the small sanding wheels,and i sealed the cork after i was done.came out fine for me and no problems with it since.just set your dremel speed on slow and take a little at a time.

otherwise get a white or light colored crank and take a black paint marker and add some crappie spots to it if you cant find exactly what you want.

i have the dips in 5-6 colors but never use them now that scent is in spray bottles.but sometimes it would work for me others it wouldnt.

i dont like quantum but im here to help...just so you know that code if you open it up inside it has plastic gearing,not something i would ever want on my baitcasters,id stay away from that reel and look at high up quantums if thats what your sold on.theres still room on the shimano side however if you still are thinking about jumping over haha. just messin lol

did you use/try it? i just want an opinion of it,well built/cheap ya know.does he use it alot and like it?

saw this @ basspro the other day,is this thing any good,it looks cheaply made,i didnt get a chance to hold it cause someone else was looking at it forever,but just wondering if its a good reel/investment for a true flip n pitch set up? also didnt shimano at one time come out with one of these?

Let's face it: Lures are not all about "fishing", we're "collectors". : true rw thats what "we" call it but the wifies they have other choice words for it lmao.

Daiichi Fat Gap Worm Hook ???? :-? allthough this looks exactly like it http://www.histackleboxshop.com/Gamakatsu-SuperLine-Offset-Worm-Hook-Extra-Wide-Ga-p/gamakatsu-ewg74-superline-hks.htm

is that you talking or the baitmonkey ;D

Wow, you are an amateur fisherman. Realism is crucial in lakes with a lot of pressure. And, before you tell me that you don't fish pressured lakes, I will tell you that you could never compete in a tournament then, because they are typically at pressured lakes. And before you tell me you don't care about tournaments, I will tell you that it is my goal, and many other anglers goals, to get to that level. And unfortunately, you will never catch a trophy bass, because they tend to be a little picky. Maybe because they are old and have been caught on several occasions before, and don't go after anything unnatural anymore. But, I am glad you are on this forum, because you have a lot to learn, and there is plenty of information on this site. : (I think this "smiley" is appropriate at this time.) amateur..yea ,like everyone else,cause we arnt "pro" as for turning pro..good luck with that.and as for a trophy bass,have caught a few of those on plastic worms and one on a big spoon (i.e a dandy of an unrealistic bait)but yes here to learn and ask ?,thanks

x2 imo

you can always grab hold of your fly pull it back and "ping" shoot it out there lol

never used them but watched them in a tank @ a show,wondered the same thing,if they work or is it hype.while watching them in the tank the laser isnt as profound (like when you tease your dog with the little dot) to me its just a "glow" from the front of the bait.still undecided about it.

now the ? is...lets add up the amount of money we could have all saved ;D
