I keep an Excel database of all my lures, what I need, what has been lost/needs to be replaced, etc...

I really like the ALX custom rod I use for dropshot. 6'10" ML/XF Diplomat

542. every crank, jig, spinnerbait, bag of plastic, etc accounted for. thanks excel.

I really like my rod gloves

I use the Dobyns 795ML and a Tackle Industries Musky rod

12 to 6 or 8 for me

I ordered the dying bluegill earlier this spring... still waiting to get it!

734/735 Dobyns Champion, depending on cover. 10-12 co-poly. Lew's TP

I've heard the NRX 916c can handle these duties, but I've never thrown one... FWIW

Dobyns 735C is what I use.

NRX893 DX745 795MLSB Curado 300E some misc baits from black friday, mostly topwaters 3:16 mission fish some hudds wanting to expand on my swimbaits.... ugh

thought i was done, too... then started reading swimbait forums...

How does it do throwing traps?

what kind of hook do you use? how are you are hooking the tube?

Just dip it JJ's

Just seeing what everyone likes to use as their preferred method of hooking into Pike/Musky, whether that be swimbaits or spinnerbaits or anything in between. Thanks!

+1. I just picked up my first NRX, 893c, dealer/rep sample. I blame winter

Looks like a Rapala to me

Texas Rig Jig and Hammer Shad are clutch for me, always get a bite.

Here are two recent smallies I pulled up from LSC. On the boga, the first read 5.5, the second 4.5

Cork

12lb Hi Vis SX1 to 8lb InvizX

Dobyns Champion 735C
