dunno why, but alot of people seem to only throw jerkbaits during early spring....It mimics baitfish better than just about any technique, but people seem to put them away for the year come spawn time.

Need more info bro. Whats your price range and I assume by the baits mentioned you want a spinning rig? Josh

agreed. I seem to release a lure just a little later when casting a shorter rod.

Haha yeah Ive been doing that with the spike it markers over the last 4' of line or so on the PP. It helps camo it and I figure if the fish smells my worm it before it sees it it cant hurt!

J Francho- well if it helps PP keep its color I'm sold...I love that line and the white coloring has been my only gripe!

In regards to fishing, I believe its whats inside a person that determines their level of sucess. I remember reading in bassmaster a while back, upon being asked individually what their favorite song was, three diffrent pros responded "how bad do you want it" by Tim mcgraw. These guys eat,sleep, and breath bass fishing. Thats what sets them apart. The sport has evolved and is more about knowledge (and sucessfully putting it to use) than skill these days in my opinion. Alot of our beloved 'good ol' boys of the sport have fallen behind the times and have been passed by more versitle, "informed" younger guys. Hot new Techniques and "secrets" are public knowledge almost instantly in some cases.

Are any of you using this on braid? Its really helped me to get the mono and flouro to behave itself on my spinning rigs, but I've never thought about it with braid.....just doesnt seem like it would make any diffrence???

WELL DONE!

I'm lookin for a sub $150 rod for striper/ largemouth. I'll be throwing the sxr14 x-rap (the 1 1/2oz) mostly. i will be using 15lb hybrid. Needs to be between 7' and 8'. Thanks Josh

Posted by: Krzkev Posted on: Today at 9:14am That's a real nice fish. In my opinion though, I think its the same fish in both pics. (Shhhhh, don't tell anyone) Still a big fish none the less. dude..... she's wearing different pants in both pics........ i highly doubt that she changed really quick to call it 2 different fish Yeah it is the same shirt! musta started a new laundry rotation, lol

powerbaits and gulps in 5" and 7" always get the bite for me in tuff conditions....

guys thanks for the responses... Muddy I hadnt even thought about the blues and stripers, great idea! I fish a small private lake that the fish seem to love that xrap "shad" color ( dont know the name, but its the solid white one that looks amazing). I guess im just gonna have to give it a try and see what happens......

picked one of these up a year ago and have yet to put it thru its paces. my intentions were to use it as a coverage bait on the flats (looks like it will cast far, strongly resembles the spawning shad). I vaguely remeber hearing less than great reviews on it, and am curious if anyone has any experience with it? thanks josh

thats awesome man! a fish that size on a 5 1/2' UL rod is something you will never forget!

congratulations!.....whats the details of the catch?

haha yeah she's got a horseshoe in both pockets. She caught the first fish one evenin when I had her whole family over. I've got em all fishing worms and bobbers. Just after making a cast with a trigged senko she tells me they've picked her hook. So I put the rod down and go walkin down the bank to get a fresh worm. While waiting she picks up my revo/mojo combo and starts retrieving. Before long she yells " I gotta big one" and I'm honestly thinking its a 3 or 4lbr.....Then the head came outta the water. When I saw that, I sprinted as fast as I could to get back over there. It broke the line at the bank just as I got to her and I had to dive in to grab it. Second fish, she reads a book in the back of the boat for 2 hours. Getting bored she picks up my airrus/abu cardinal combo and catches that pig on the second cast. She did a remarkable job landing it, It literally jumped 2ft out of the water, ran under the boat 3 times and she brought her in on 6lb test. I've caught alot of big bass and have never seen a big one jump that high....

Jimmy houston was right! you'll get outfished everytime. These were caught literally three casts apart on two seperate outings. The first fish was on a shakeyhead, the second a senko. I'm catchin some flack over this! lol ;D

bandit cranks in any "craw" color sammy (95?) in american shad rebel crawfish I've fished many diffrent plastics for smallies, but the OG mister twister phenom worms are tough 2 beat, not to mention durable and inexspensive Oh yeah Buzzbaits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dont be fooled into thinkin u gotta fish the little 1/8oz models only. a 1lbr smally will blast a 1/2oz buzzer all day I like braided line on my rods that see river use.
