Organizing soft plastics
I just use Ziplocs. Small ones for packs of worms and the gallon sized to keep them organized. Senkos, Curly-Tails, Trick worms, Lizards...........Just goes on and on.

New Topwater Ive Been Playing With
Thanks! I just hope people would buy something like it haha. Ive caught alot of fish on a similar model. Seems to work better in late summer and fall though. I mean most topwaters do but im just saying this pattern in particular.

Double Fluke Or Double Senko Rig?
Ive used this a few times. I love it for bed fishing. There have been a few times where i have caught the male and female at the same time.

Craw Colored Cranks
Which reservoir are you fishing? Ive never heard of there not being crawdads in a place. I would think that they would hit a craw patterned crank. Ive never reallt thrown them much though. I stick with the shad and bream patterns mainly.

Shakey Head Baits
Ive used every kind of soft plastic on this rig and have caught fish on all of them. Favorite has to be a trick stick though.

What to spray on plastics???
Personally i have never seen a difference in using scents. I guess im an odd ball.

Another Jig question
Exactly. Thats atleast how i do it anyways lol.

Another Jig question
20# is good but i still recommend braid. The abrasion resistance is always good. You never know if that fish is going to wrap around a lem or something under water. Its just an insurance policy i always want to have.

Red Eye Shad
Yea, these baits are great. I havent lost too many fish on them either. Which is always a plus!
-
Another Jig question
When rigging a craw think of it as you are putting it onto a jig head. Its supposed to hang off a good bit. Makes a bigger profile.

Another Jig question
They look like they could catch some fish. I would still trim the weed guard level. That corner can deflect a fish's mouth.

Another Jig question
I like the Berkley Fireline Crystal. Its not really expensive. For example on strength, i had an alligator bite down on my line and it didnt even phase it.

Another Jig question
the lake i fish on might have all of that structure in one area.

Another Jig question
I use just abpout every jig out there. I have had alot of luck with the jigs by Hawg Thrasher. He can make just about any kind you can think of. As far as weight, to me it really depends on the cover im fishing and the conditions. If its post frontal i use a smaller weight with a small trailer of no trailer at all. Depends on the fall rate im looking for. Here is a picture of how i do my trailers.

Flippin' Jigs
Not really. I mean yea, everyone has a preference. I mainly just go on who has the right weight and color im looking for. I will say that i have caught more fish on Hawg Thrasher jigs though.

Another Jig question
Here is a picture of one of mine. Some people may go shorter but this works great for me. It makes the bristles a little stiffer too.

Another Jig question
I ALWAYS trim the weed guards down on jigs. I also wont throw a jig unless its on braid. It WILL NOT break lol.

New Topwater Ive Been Playing With
I came up with this design after seeing a few chipmunks get swallowed on some different lakes. I hope to start selling them.

Bitsy bug Jigs
If you want small fish it is. I started with mop jigs when i was about 12. I think they are good to start on. They can be cut down to a diferent size too. They also catch big fish.
-
Flukes
Ive put them on a shaky head rig before and fished them shallow. Looks like a baitfish looking for food on the bottom. Caught a bunch on it. I mainly fish them weightless though with a 5/0 hook.
-
Drop Shot Baits?
I fish alot of baits on a drop shot. I learned the technique with flukes. But if the bite is tough i like to wacky rig a senko on a drop shot rig. It works!
-
When your flat out struggling. What do you throw?
Hands down, Its got to be a small inline spinner like a roostertail. Its bailed me out ALOT!!! Especially right after a cold front.
-
Burning frogs
The SPRO Bronzeye Frogs arent bad either. They work better if you bend the hooks out some though.

Burning frogs
Honestly i think all of them catch quality fish. People just have preferences. But if i had to choose one, it would be the Stanley Ribbit.
