Largemouth Bass Behavior: The Spawn - YouTube

I have both Loomis & Dobyns rods & tend to favor the Dobyns rods. Never had a ALX rod so I can't comment on them.

The better you become at mastering the skill set of fishing the less luck will happen while fishing.

Rod Snapper I hope you never need help. I also have no experience with these lures but have with there plastic baits. they work great & are a excellent company to work with. Excellent Service.

Catt that is excellent advice. I always use sent when fishing in the grass. I use to use fish formula all the time but have not seen it in a good while so I have straight anise oil. where do you find it?

They are an excellent company to deal with. I have ordered many rods from them without a problem. I always have them sent with there 2 day delivery plan, maybe there is less handling of the package. Glad they got you squared away quickly.

Go with the Pflueger & you will never look back. At that price it is a great buy.

I am no deep diving crank expert But I would not Trade the rod in & take a loss. The depth of your crank bait is going to depend on the length of your cast & the weight of your line plus the angle of the bill on the bait & how hard you can crank it. Knowing the way a bass eyes are located it see upwards. So if your bait goes above them a bit that is ok. If your bouncing your bait along the bottom the sediment trail & noise will make it look for your bait. Fluoro is going to make your bait run a little deeper than Mono. I no nothing about the rod Lews might have been thinking the weight of the bait & the resistance of the water while the bait is coming thru the water would effect the rod tip. I would probley use Fluoro with the 5XD & 8 XD see how that works for you. remember to use speed control to adjust for desired depth & that might cover the water column your looking for. I hope this help some.

Make sure your accessories are about equal, T/M, Electronics, trailer etc. The Ranger Z package is a nice feature especially the soft ride seats, but I don't know if it still as it was that new ownership is building them.

Old School the 6" Creme Scoundrel worm or the 6" Super Floater.In the new era with out a doubt the Senko

the scorpion is $266.39 shipped today. check the value of the $ to the yen each day when you are ready to buy. I paid a few $ less shipped than the Curado. Like I said I don't have the Curado so I can't compare but I can tell you the Scorpion is a fine reel. I order most of my reels from Digitaka & have them with in 7 days.

I have the Scorpion & this is what it has plus 8 bearings instead of 7.When I bought mine the L/H Curado was not Available. I don't have the Curado so I don't know if it has the following. Durable aluminum alloy body frame Hagane body I-DC5 computer controlled brake system Anti-rust treated ball bearings for long life Carbon drag washers Extra efficient X-SHIP gear system Clicking star drag Hyper-tensile brass gears Balanced S3D spools Super free spool design Titanium coated level winder Saltwater fine

I have both the Champion XP 735C & 736C with full handles. Both rod have the Shimano(Japanese Version) Bantam MGL reels on them & can fish with them all day. I use the 736 pretty much for hollow body frogs but the 735 for other applications too, ex: toads,swimbaits, buzz & spinnerbaits, Carolina rig for a few. These rods are awesome in fact so are the reels.

I don't think X-girlfriends would agree with that.....

It's hard to beat a Zoom Lizard.

Or maybe the water is starting to warm & moving toward spawning & the females get all dolled up & are wearing red lipstick, just a thought.

If the water temp is 50+ I have a Zoom lizard in the water.

Log Catcher you made a wise choice following Catt's advice. That bait is a good one.

I have been using that for a for a couple of years or more. Use a hitch hiker attached to a good swivel (small) & a #2 or 3 Colorado blade depending on the water color. It works well.

I am not a big fan of spinnerbaits.

I would go to T/W & see what they have left.

I use Gamma High Performance Copolymer in Moss Green Color. This is a very strong line & will do what you want it for.

I did make a mistake on the size of the Skeeter's boat. my buddy has the same boat as the above Skeeter. The same year model with the same engine & no jackplate. I have ridden in that many times & when the lake gets rough It's a rough & wet ride.

I own 2 SA683 C & 5 SA 684 C & if your looking for a shorter rod they can't be beat especially at that price.

Well Bigjean663 the Japanese version of my Bantam MGL arrived yesterday. I ended up paying $265.33 Shipped. Can't beat that plus it has one more bearing than the U.S. version. Today requires me to go for lunch at my favorite Chinese restaurant, they have a Japanese cook so when the lunch crowd leaves he comes & shows me the in's & out's of the reel.
