I agree with tomustang--the bevy shad is a great jerk bait-have caught many springtime bass on it but I think the pointer is the lure everyone uses or think of when they think of lucky Craft jerk baits

Used Owner and VMC for years but I found Moaner hooks and I have to say they are the best hooks I have used in a long time--only use Matt's hooks now--good heavy sharp flipping hooks and weighted hooks--you might want to check them out--checked Moaner Hooks out and I have not looked back--fast and very fair shipping cost and a great hook--check them out and I think you will be as sold as I am--Disclaimer--I have no association with Moaner Hooks except as a customer

I agree--don't think they make many bad colors

I would love to know how much it costs BP to print and ship out all the catalogs they ship out in a year--I guess it must pay or they would quit sending so many--I must get some kind of catalog at least once a month and that does not include the master catalog! I know they are losing money on me because I have not requested or bought anything from Bass Pro for at least 4 Years and they still keep sending them to me

I agree with roadwarrior--I have several different brands of hard baits because there seem to be different brands work well in certain places and times--rattle trap type baits are a perfect example of that--some days the original rattle trap is hard to beat--other days the red eye shad of strike king seems to be the winner--but there is only a couple different brands of soft baits that I use--they cover my needs and I have confidence in them to do that--what ever you choose to do--try multiple brands or use only one brand is right because it suits you and that is all that matters when it comes down to it at the end of the day

That is what makes this type of post so hard to get a usable answer to--everyone has their ideas what are the best rod in their price range and they are right--they are perfect for them--I personally think the falcon BuCoo micro is a great rod in this price range

Can not beat the Diesel for the price--it is more of a med heavy than med but performs great on plastics and small cranks--glad I bought mine

I spend about 6 months a year in Florida fishing and in my experience from trial and error you will become totally frustrated trying to fish a regular jig in the Florida grass--just too thick in most lakes in South central Florida where I fish and I am sure it is the same down south--best results for success and far less frustration as Mike said is a punch rig--far better to fish with in the heavy grass where you will find the big girls Mike makes great punch rigs --choose your colors and have fun!!

I have to agree with j Franco--I find it harder and harder to find what I am looking for locally--if I can find it locally I will buy it but the biggest part of the time I have to order it online

Mike, I would be interested in some swing jigs in the lighter weights like those discussed in earlier posts--also like the idea of having replaceable hooks so you can change sizes to match your fishing conditions and lures

Yup--X2

Please let us know what you think of the new Lite reels! -- anxious to hear what you think--Thanks

I agree with Crappiebasser--you are losing 2 ways by financing something that depreciates like a boat especially at those rates!!!

Yep--this

sounds like a bummer fishing trip

I have been using their copolymer for several years--am very happy with the way it handles--very little stretch--good sensitivity--happy enough with it that I use it for just about everything and have not been tempted to try any thing else

^^^--this

I have this rod and it works great for me and I am using it for pretty much the same lures you are talking about--like this rod well enough to consider the rest of his signature rods when I am in the market for additional rods

I am in Ohio too--you are right--DSG stores around here seldom have anything worthwhile on sale--pretty much given up on hunting and fishing and turned into clothing store--very seldom shop there anymore

I just take my needlenose pliers and spread the o-ring just a little and slide the senko through--no tool needed

X2

same here--work fine for me

X2

same as this
