Megabass Ito Vision 110
I'd be a little ticked if a $25+ lure broke on me. I've never broken a LC pointer!!!

Senko, Yamasenko, Ika... whaa?
Try Cabelas Aqua Glo Sticks. They are some of the best knock off's I've found. Garlic scent, the texture is very close. Their colors are limited, but the colors they do have are good, I like baby bass. And the best part is they are cheap. Right now they are on sale in the bargain cave for $1.99 per 10

By the way, Senko is Japanese for " falls off hook easy". ;D

Stanley Double Take frog hook?
Anybody try these yet? I bought a pack of them last week to try with the Ribbit frog and was wondering if they improve hookups. Can't see how they couldn't.

Bass Boat Driving Virgin
Hey Nitrofreak, the funny part of it is, without going in to a long story again, about 2 months ago a fishing acquaintance of mine offered to give me(yes give!) his old 95 Nitro 180 when he bought a different boat. Unfortunately 2 days later he changed his mind, and decided to fix what was wrong with it and sell it. It still sits next to his neighbors garage, I have to drive by it everyday. Easy come , easy go By the way, great job rehabbing yours, it looks great.

Bass Boat Driving Virgin
I posted this on another forum, wanted to share it with guys on here too. Hey guys, Have to share this with you all, you'll understand and my wife really doesn't! First of all, to understand this, I've wanted a bass boat since I was about 16(I'm 46) but still can't swing one. So a local guy I've met a few times once told me that if I ever wanted the inside track on one of the local lakes to give him a call, since he's lived on it all his life. So I finally got around to taking him up on his offer last night. He said meet him at the launch at 5. He pulls up in a fully rigged Triton xs 21 DC. I'm thinking, COOL!!!!! So we are fishing, and I offer him a beer. He says yea what the hell, you're driving back. I thought he was kidding. About 2 hours later we decide to pack it in, I sit down in the passenger seat and he says to me," what are you doing. you're driving". So needless to say, I get the thrill of my life( at least lately) driving his boat the few miles back to the dock. And we caught fish. Awesome night, and an awesome guy for letting a newbie drive his $40k plus boat. God I want one ! :'( :'(

Mossyback vs. IMX
If you are thinking about an IMX, you won't be disappointed. I've had one for about 5 years and I love it. In fact I like it so much I'm buying another one tomorrow

Need opinions on Line Conditioners
Hey guys, I've yet to try a line conditioner, even though most guys say they work well. Can I get some opinions on which one is the best, or do they all work relatively the same?

Best rain gear
I've been using these for about the last year. My brother works for Rocky so I got them to try. Work real well. I spent one night fishing in the driving rain and wind and stayed perfectly dry, so I was happy. https://www.lehighsafetyshoes.com/products/5187/1500610200BK/Rocky-Rain-Jacket/ https://www.lehighsafetyshoes.com/products/5431/1500610205BK/Rocky-Rain-Pants/

Need older Nitro bass Boat seats
hey guys, through a stroke of good luck and timing a friend and fishing partner of mine if giving me his old boat(yes giving!) Its a 1995 Nitro 18 ft w/125 Tracker. The question is does anyone know where is a good place to get replacement seats because the existing ones are beat.

Is there a Rule about this????
I tried a brush hog on a shakey head jig the other night. didn't get anything, but that may not mean anything other than I sucked the other night, since I didn't do all that well on anything.

Anyone using Keitech Baits?
I actually don't fish lake george that much, even though its only 3 miles away. can't afford to put a boat on it during the summer. :'(

Anyone using Keitech Baits?
Hey guys, Hadn't even heard of these until a few weeks ago. Have run into 2 or 3 guys recently that swear by them. One guy told me that they are soaked in shrimp oil and the fish hold on longer. Anyone using them?
