im not to familar with braid, do you have to have a mono leader? or can you just tie the tackle on direct? whats the reasoning behind it? sorry if this sounds dumb but im fairly new.

i have 2 questions; first when fishing a plastic worm with a spinner reel, and the line spooling up seats loosely. what is the major cause of this? or is it just inevitable? im using a pflueger president w/ 10lb trilene xt if that matters. is braid a better choice than the mono? and second my baitcaster the shimano curado on a 6'6'' med, its currently strung up with 12lb trilene xt. i was thinking of switching to braid. any suggestions on a brand and test, that will still allow smooth casting and solid hook sets??

i dont know about there not being any fish in NC. your just not going to the right places. it probiallydidnt hurt that i was fishing on some of the private lakes of whispering pines. if i can figure out how to post up pictures ill post up the monster i pulled out of there, aside from the other 2's and 3's.

hey all, just got back from a great 4 day bass fishing trip whispering pines, NC. comin from NJ all i have to say is wow. i didnt catch anything under 2 lbs. was catching them on white spinner baits and bill dances yum dancing eel and the occasional powerbait soft plastic worm, but more the other two. being a new bass fisherman i am now hooked. using the bill dance lure i missed about 10 fish who must have been biting on the tail. is there a similar lure that has the same action but with another hook at the tip of the tail?

im in central jersey. i do most of my fishing in farrington lake. i use spinner baits, crank baits and rattle traps. i hav no problem catching pickrel. but something im doing is not rite for the bass.

hey all, im new to he world of bass fishing. always been a trout guy but im gradually making the switch. i do all my fishing in nj. i have a 9'6'' bass hunter boat. my tackle consists of a shimano curado reel on a 6'6'' field and stream m7. when i set out stricty for bass, i catch everythng else but what im set out after. can anyone offer up some basic tips and or guide lines to abide by when fishing for bass. any input would be grately appreciated. thank you.
