Heavy action vs Medium Heavy action rod?
My heavy rods are used for frogging, swimbaits/glides, and t-rigs or jigs fished in heavy vegetation.

Daingerous > Magdraft.
I have been wanting to try the Daingerous for the price point. Heard many good things. I did try the Magdraft and it was great. Caught 3 and the I snagged it. The eyeball came out after the first one. Can't wait to give the Daingerous a try.

How much has electronics changed your fishing?
Not much at all. I fish out of a 10ft Pond Prowler. No electronics at all. I fish shallow and that is about it. Our lakes in Iowa are pretty shallow so it's not too bad.

Fishing camera
I use the DJI Osmo Action 4. It's been pretty good. Doesn't overheat easy like the gopro, quality is good, and it was sale.

School me on Chatterbaits.
The bladed jig is one of my go-to for fishing. I have done pretty well on it. I fish it a ton, have a lot of confidence in it. The trailer I use is the Zako paddle tail. I wish it would last longer but I bring all the old ones home and Mend-it together to reuse until it can not be use anymore.

How do you use the rage craw?

St croix victory bladed jig rod
I use "The Marshall" and it was great for bladed jig, but once the Evergreen bladed jig rod was on sale for around 50 percent off I had to get it for the bladed jig.

Anyone else using mend-it to combat tackle costs?
I use it on my Zakos because I go through them so much. It's been great.

Your all time favorite Shimano baitcaster.
I have used mostly all the higher end shimano reels and sold them all. Now I just use the SLX 70a MGL. That by far has blown me away by how comfortable it is fishing it all day, and how smooth it is.

What lure(s) are dead last in your arsenal?
Cranks for sure.

Daiwa Steez Real Control rod!
Wow. Just saw on TW that it is coming out this year and the price tag is crazy! I thought my Poison Ultima was bad but this rod blows it out of the park with its price. With that being said is anyone going to get it and review it? It has to be the flagship of Daiwa rods if I'm not mistaken. Forgot to add it only has a 1 year limited warranty. What?

Anyone use only one brand of soft plastics?
I use Googan baits and Gary Yamamotos only.
-
Soft plastics on boxes or bags???
I keep all my plastics in the original bag

Iowa Best Lakes
Sorry for digging up an old post. Looking for a recent post on where is the best place to fish in Iowa in 2025. I live in Des Moines and want to venture out to spend a whole day fishing a lake for bass. I have fished Green Valley, Badger Creek, Big Creek, and the Chariton Lakes. Looking to venture an hour and a half out. Looking to catch good size bass and number. Will be on a pond prowler boat. Thanks! Any lakes you guys recommend?
