I use a Fenwick HMX as my finesse rod. I love it and it is definatly worth more than the $80 price tag.

Thanks guys it will be all casting rods I am sending.

I have rods I am shipping out via USPS one package will be 4 rods another 6 rods. What size diameter pvc do I need to ship each package. I can normally fit 2 rods in a 3" tube.

Anyone ever use them (H2O Express)? They are only $5.99 and if they are as good as their squarebills then that is a great deal.

slowwwwwwwwwwwwww down, stick to a worm wacky, t-rigged or drop shot. best way to find them. Also keep your head up it can also be a mental block that is keeping you from catching them.

The DNR Officer told me there is Laregmouth, Smallmouth, Pike, Bluegill, Perch, Cats, Saugeye in there. I have seen 3" and 4" Largemouth swimming but thats it.

Can't say anything about their braid but their Flourocarbon is trash. Only line worst than their flouro is PLine Flouroclear.

My go to spinnerbait is River2Sea. However Kustom Kicker just came out with a new spinnerbait that the wire is titanium and guaranteed not to bend, break, or get out of alignment.

my pb is 5# 4oz. Not a giant but a great catch in my area. Caught in the middle of December with ice just starting to form in the water. Use a 1/2oz SK Red Eye Shad in Bleeding Gizzard Shad.

There is a body of water by me that the ramp is so steep that you must have 4 wheel drive to launch. We see this happen once a month there.

x2 here in northern ohio. There arent many bodies of water that are not pressured.

I've never used a spybait but that might be the ticket. I don't think any bait shop in my area besides Bass Pro carries any either. It would be subtle and a presentation the fish never seen before.

shoreline there are 3 fishing piers throughout the lake I normally fish the tip of the piers because they disturb the channel running through the lake and they also create a point with a steep drop off. If I can find the pictures on my wife's phone in 2011 we were fishing end of November and caught 22 bass in 35 minutes all of the same ledge at the pier.

I understand why companies are blocked out but it makes it hard for people that really are looking for some help about these brands.

Oxbow is my go to water. I went to college in Defiance and fell in love with the scenery at Oxbow. I have caught quite a few 2 and 3lbers but it is difficult to get them to bite. Now that the pressure has died down once the ODNR banned gas motors they seem to be a little easier to catch.

Thank You I have used the Lipless Kraken and they are decent I wouldn't hesitate to buy a couple more. I haven't tried the Squrebill or Jerkabit yet.

I'm not sure what brand you are speaking of.

Swaver 120 or 168 is the best bang for your buck glide bait.

Anything 1/2oz from Kustom Kicker. Deposit $wim Jig, Dock Monkey, The Freak. 2K has all my needs covered.

6th Sense, Skirmish and River2Sea are the only crankbaits I own. All three brands cover all the types of crank fishing you will need.

CXX is about the only line I use. I was hesitant to try it because I tried to use Flouroclear and about 15 casts in I took it off and spooled my old trusted Yo Zuri Hybrid. But I do love the CXX line.

You ever go up to the waters in Defiance? Oxbow Lake and Defiance Reservoir.

What line would you recommend on these setups?

instead of digging into the ground they take dirt and build up walls on top of the ground to make a bowl, then fill in the "bowl" with rocks. It is difficult to see in this photo but you can make out the slope in the light colored grass around the water is sloped to show you the "bowl" that is made.
