QUAKEnSHAKE

Nightcrawler on #4 hook no weight is great for sight targeting cruiser bass or any bass. I did this for about 3 years 90% of the time on my favorite lake. A river near by flooded into the lake and many a bass must have left cause didnt see still dont see bass near shore cruising like before floods but getting better.

You mention spinnerbaits FYI core50mg7 gets labored with 3/4oz spinnerbaits not good at all, I feel, trying to reel them in. Keep an eye on Gander Mountain website they have 50mg7 for $260-280 about once a month for a day or so and just had them. http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Shimano-Core-Baitcast-Reel-50MG7&i=419948

Supreme is on sale at Cabelas for $79 Supreme XT is $119

I agree. Ive caught some nice ones on far random throws to nowhere.

Does this count cause its all I got in 4 hours today Ika over weeds it snapped at it and got hooked the weeds brought in weighed more than the fish

Same here but scratch spider and insert Trilene Pro and Kanzen. The only one I havent liked is Kanzen 15#(weak)

I use one when I get a new rod til the newness wears off... about 2 weeks.

Weedmat ,slop ,pads anything that gives shade and an ambush opportunity. Fish on top or go through to get bites. Ill throw a fat ika or wacky stick bait hop it on top create a disturbance, find a hole and let it drop down in get strikes both ways.

I wouldnt like that at all. If my line is any name 8# it has to test better than 8# in my testing that I perform. Whether its accurate or not I test all my lines with "my test" a digital fish scale, varied lengths of line and hook tied with through eye twice 6 turn uni knot and or palomar knot. I hook into weights and slowly pull up til line snaps/knot gives. If I cant get rated strength with multiple tests I return line or just put it away dont use it. 5- 3/4# for 8# line is awful IMO

For the braid just flip it around put the used portion on reel first. This way the un-used end will now be able to use. I have braid that is 5 to 10 years old and still strong. 2 years is just getting broken in.

I have a few packs of 7" & 5" that havent really used. Well thanks to this thread I took a pack of 7" ochos off the pegboard and wacky rigged one up. I tossed it on some slop and this is the result 18" 3 pounds 1st pic just see the ocho top of my thumb

Well might this speak to Quantums popularity 111 BR ICAST videos not one Quantum related

One aspect I did find that lost me fish is at a fair distance the stretch causes poor hooksets compared with the same rods with braid. I have not noticed an increase in bites either in the clear lakes I fish.

Well Gander once again just had their Core 50mg7 for $280 sold out now that would have been a great buy. Chro CI4 has been an excellent reel for me so far. The 50E reels are very good. Ive bought 5 brands of reels the last 3 years Shimano BPS Okuma Daiwa Lews only kept Shimano reels and one Daiwa reel others had quality durability issues that caused me to return them.

5" Bama Bug Senko

What does it cost to have something like that done? Im talking the avg person contacting a builder for the 1st time not any discount you may get for repeat business. I very much dislike the *** handle would like to get an idea on $$$ for full handle THANKS Oh for topic I like & use both but a split grip that doesnt fit LTB *** I dont like.

Maybe they could be waiting for a special occasion to get you one. Ive played that trick on my kids. No youre not getting an xbox 360 end of discussion. Then BAM 360 for Christmas. No you cant get a Specialized bike too expensive get the mongoose then B-day comes around get Specialized. So I guess you can continue to plant the seed of want for kayak til Xmas gets here.

Some examples 10" Anaconda = .5116oz 10" Thumper = .54205oz MSRP is $160 on the Smoke, TW has it cheeper than most already at $129. If you caught the TW 4th of July discount it was $101 thats when I snatched another 7' M/F Smoke. The Smokes seem to be stronger than their classification- Smoke MH actually "rates" stronger than the 714 H- Smoke up to 1-1/2oz lure 25 pound line, 714 1oz and 20 pound line. The other ? is what do you prefer for jigs fast or extra fast cause isnt the 714 XF and Smoke is F? I like Fast rods over XF myself for actual casting so Id put XF for pitching flipping and Smoke for longer casting duties.

That fish looks like its been eating well.

As far as I can tell they are the same, package says "by GYCB". I have & use both brands but the saltwater that is pictured is suppose to be a little different just havent tried one out yet.

About 75% of my time is spent with one on, my favorite lure. I bought up all I could of the watermelon chartreuse (Kinami Palm Tree) they were discontinued on sale for $1.99 couple days later another box showed up

THANKS ALL Yeah its the 0-6 with frog that is bugging me the most thinking one of them could have been bigger. On one strike about 8' from me saw its mouth and it was as big as PB fish mouth. I have to get back there and redeem my frog game maybe try Booyah Pad Crasher JR

Two recent ones for me. Rapala Silent Rippin Rap Chrome Blue Pike took my last one cant get any more Kinami Palm Tree Watermelon Chartreuse discontinued but I did manage to source about 90 packs before they were gone so have to ration their use. I lost two to low hanging branches yesterday thought very seriously about wading out to get them.
