Spinnerbait fans
I would first suggest fishing without a trailer hook but if you are only getting hit and are missing fish, then go ahead and add one. One day I was missing fish so I slapped on a trailer hook and started catching fish. The next day using the same spinnerbait, they were absolutely hammering my bait and the trailer hook almost got seriously caught in it's throat! I took it off and never missed a fish the rest of the day. It all depends on their mood and activity

Fireline Crystal
Just got the fireline crystal and all I can say is wow. I haven't been able to test it in the water as far as strength but I put it in our pool and was having trouble seeing the line. I had my doubts but I am impressed.

wat kinda a fish should i put in my pond
You might want a few grass carp to keep the grass down and catfish would be cool. I don't think walleye would do to well in a pond...And definitely NOT them toothy northern.

which baitcaster?
x2 x3 x6 x7... IMO Quantums are heavy paper weights... Citca x1,000,000,000,000,000,000! The Citica is the first bc reel I ever got and I love it. It did take a while for me to get used to it but I'm glad I did. It is a smooth reel and works great with braided line. I cast, flip pitch. It's a great reel

Sit or stand?
almost always stand

question about the jig
You can thread it on or just run the hook through the end of it somewhere which gives it more movement and lets it wiggle more and what-not.

Favorite Jig
I like the Jewel Baits jigs with none other than the rage tail craw (Craw so I can trim for trailer or leave long for texas rig craw

Shore Fishing Strategy
I would usually start with a spinnerbait or crankbait and fish them at different speeds, retrieves, etc. then go to a favorite soft plastic or other technique that you use in other favorite waters (Jig, dropshot, t-rig, w.e you find that works.)
-
question about spinnerbaits.
I love fishing spinnerbaits and they rarely get snagged on any rocks unless you are being stupid (I've only lost 2 ) But crankbaits would catch all the grass in there but hey, it would at least be out of there

bill dance hook remover
I've seen his show where he says that thing is "Handier than a pocket on a shirt (I thought that's why they put pockets on pants!)" but I've never seen him actually use it.

Rapala X-Rap
Ha, I love that comercial.

Fireline Crystal and Stren Microfuse
Has anyone ever used these and do they work or not?
-
Spinnerbait Trailers
I always put trailers on my spinnerbaits and I usually just use a normal twister tail.
-
Buzzbait blade color
I don't know if blade color on a buzzbait really makes a difference. All mine are chrome or whatever you wanna call it with white skirts and my fish don't seem to care.

Weed gards on Jigs
Honestly I will say I have never talked to any Pros but I do know about youtube. There are videos on there of people talking about their jigs. If you watch one of the videos I posted the man makes a good poinnt. He says something like this, "Your gonna get snagged with a jig, but why trim the weed guard and make it easier to get snaggged. When going over a log or throught weeds, the weed guard will get depressed. But if it is trimmed to the hook point, it will just make it easeier to get snagged." Think about that for a while. And I'm not trying to make anyone mad ot anything, I just gave my opinion.

What jig trailer do you guys and girls use/like the most
Hey I was just wondering what you guys like abd use. I got some Yum Super Chunk Jrs and Rage Tail Craw.

Weed gards on Jigs
I don't get the point of trimming them off. Why cut it right off at the hook? It's gonna go past the hook anyway. Ask a bunch of pros and I bet 90% don't trim them, and they ebviously catch fish. The same with trimming the skirt to the bottom of the hook. I would only do it if I want a smaller profile or want my trailer to show more. I leave my jigs alone

Can you scent your own soft plastics?

Bait smells(from factory)
Just got some rage tail craws, opened up the back and thought my nose was on fire. Those things hurt my nostril and all the way back to my throat. Felt like I had strept throat

Soft Plastic Oiling / Scents
So you can just add scent to your plastics? Cuz I got some cheap plastics and want to scent them but dont know how. Could I just put some garlic in there with them?

What is the point of these jigs with the upper parts of the skirt trimmed off?
Alright Thanks guys. That makes sense
