Sometimes I use them on a Fla rig in heavy cover also when the bite is slow and I feel the need to throw a change up, especially in high pressured areas. Mike

May you all enjoy Good Health, Happiness and Joy in your lives. Mike

Thanks Fellas, you've given me a few other options. Mike

Curious what everyone who uses them like. The G Money brand was recommended but wanted to ask what you guys use. Thanks Mike

Enjoy your break Mike, Now you can relax a little more. Welcome Gary. I'm sure you'll do a great job, and congratulations on your retirement. Mike

No, you fish as many as you like. Must be a minimum of 16 yrs old I believe. It's a point based system so obviously the more tournaments you fish the greater your chances of finishing in the top 50 at the end of the year to advance to the Regionals. Where if you finish in the top 6 you would qualify for the All American. However, if you pay for all 5 and fish only 2 you will qualify for the Wildcard tournament. Good Luck Mike

I've tried them all at one time or another but always come back to the Skinny Dipper and the Big EZ. Mike

Welcome Dave! Mike

Welcome Brian! Mike

Howdy And Welcome Mike

Howdy Mike! And Welcome, we could use another Mike around here Mike

Howdy! And Welcome Mike

Welcome from a transplanted fellow So. Sider! You're gonna like it here Mike

Welcome Scott, from a transplanted Chicagoan! Mike

Welcome!! Mike

I use a Falcon "Carolina Lizard Dragger" rod with 30# braid as my all around top water and swim bait rod. The rod itself is ideal for action and power. Useing 30# braid is not in all conditions, but all of my combo's have to do double duty. Mike

My oldest is a gold Chronarch 100 SF (Love this thing, it may be a little bulkier than anything I have but with 20ld braid and paired with a Loomis MBR 843C GLX, it will cast a mile and won't backlash unless I really mess it up) Mike

More often than not I'll use a green pumpkin with chartreuse dyed tails. Mike

This year just goes to show, no matter how smart we think we by...drafting, Adding, dropping, sitting, activating etc...it still comes down to injuries, players not playing, scheme changes during the year, players falling out of favor etc. etc. All the things we can't control. But that's FF, thats why I play. Think about this...I've been in 1st place all year, have a first round bye in the playoffs, all while having the 5th hignest PF total! And now it looks like I'll lose my first playoff game! Figure that out! I think competitive is an understatement! Count me in too. Mike

Agree... If I mess something up don't everybody get mad at me ! Mike

Sure wish it would cool off down here. The a/c in the house have been on since last April! Mike

Ditto That's the only way to do it that I know of also. It CAN work, then again maybe not. Just keep at it and build your resume over time, sometimes it can take years, just depends if you have enough of what they're looking for at that time and place. Good Luck Mike

Ditto I don't personally use braid (Yo Zuri) for crank or spinnerbait's and I fish in the same type of waters. And for both it's 12# and I have no complaints. If you intend to use braid for long casting lures I personally wouldn't go over 30#. Mike

IMHO, the copper based amber lens is best for driving as they will brighten things up considerably in low light situations. The green, silver or blue are for different types of sun. At least that's what I've been told. Mike

I'm glad to see you're back posting again! Be Well Mike
