What are you asking?

I like the Trokar flipping hook.

Actually I'm mistaken. The guides I have are listed as a size 3 but have an ID of 2.05 MM. I thought they were size 2's but they are called 3's. Either way, they're really small.

I use several rods with size 2 guides. I use whatever line I feel needs to be used. I don't do leaders though.

Nice, I've been waiting for these to show up somewhere so I could buy them. I haven't seen them anywhere yet though. I like that Tropical Perch pattern.

I haven't. I used the biggest Yum Mighty Worms on a heavy shaky head some last year and had good luck. I saw the Uptons recommended here a few times and decided to give them a try. I'll fish them on a 1/2-1oz jig head in deep water. I'm pretty excited to try them out.

This!! You will never want another pair of split ring pliers.

UPS man brought me a small TW order today.

I'm very happy with the 6th Sense baits I have, I will definitely buy more.

Keep in mind that bass usually feed up. A bass that isn't on the bottom would probably be more likely to go up for a bait than down.

I use fluoro on most of my set ups and don't have any problem with it. I do like using it. Using the right fluoro and tying good knots makes a huge difference.

They all have beautiful finishes. Of the ones on Ebay right now, I would get the Morning Dawn.

No it isn't made anymore. It came out 10 or 12 years ago and sold for about $16 then. In addition to the prop in the mouth it also has openings in the mouth that allow water to flow through and out the gill slits on the side of the head. It can also be cranked a few inches under the surface, it creates quite a commotion and bubble trail. I tried to get every color they made but they are hard to find. I have 4 or 5 them. Pretty cool little bait.

Looks like a bait rig for bottom fishing.

I figured you would know right away what that was. It is smaller than a bread box and it isn't a Lucky Craft.

I've got one for you. This one isn't old or rare but it is pretty unique.

I'm a Yellow Magic fan.

It's probably an Oakley watch, KVD wears one like it.

I have no idea but you could probably hit him up on facebook or twitter and he would tell you.

Yeah I'm sure you're right, there has to be some connection. It still seems odd that it even says Chatterbait without ZMan in the title.

I agree completely. You should really have read and researched enough that you understand what components you need before you start and have a basic idea about how to proceed. They might be different now but last time I looked at the kits they didn't have components I would ever use on a build. If you're going to put in the time and effort, you should build something you will be happy with.

Lol, I have gas too!

I agree. It's more about what type of bait and what depth the bass and baitfish are. Reaction baits work year round, there isn't really a best season.

Yep, a crankbait is 12 months a year for me.
