Welcome!

Zman Batwings or Turbo CrawZ Pork

If you get a Tracker, make sure you get a welded one. If you get a riveted Tracker, make sure you have a good bilge pump because I've never seen one that was more than a few years old that didn't leak. My last boat was very similar to the Grizzly style boat (Lowe Roughneck). While not a "fishing" boat, I caught a lot of fish out of it and got a lot of good use out of it. If you have the money though, the new Ranger aluminum boats are super nice.

I use JJ's on watermelon and GP colored baits a lot, especially for smallmouth or when they're eating bluegills.

I agree that it's a BPS house brand, but I think it's their cheaper lineup of the XTS series. Looks like this bait in Gizzard Shad color. http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-XTS-Lures-Minnow/product/29990/

I don't get it either but to each his own I suppose.

Either a Ned Rig or bladed jig.

I have had good luck with the shad colored 130 size. I fished mine on a 7' 3" H/F with 50lb braid and it's been perfect for it.

1/16oz is the size I use a 95% of the time.

That's 3lbs 14oz, not 3.14 ?, it would have been a lot further from 4 pounds at 3.14.

We smoked them on Wolf Creek today. We'll north of 100 fish.

I drive an extra 5 miles to avoid paying $3 at the CORPS ramp so I can launch for free at the state ramp. $24 for a ramp better be on Erie or Falcon.

I like my amber or silver lenses depending on if it's sunny or cloudy/lowlight.

I drag them as well, great way to fish them.

There is a mold for swing heads. I make my own for about a quarter.

Yes and it is standard for the most part.

I bet it would get smacked if you waked it slowly across the surface like a Redfin.

I fish the 78 and even the 65 pointers quite a bit. I have good luck with them when bass seem to be avoiding the bigger baits. I really like them in ponds too. The smaller STX is another finesse jerkbait that I like that runs a little shallower and has a little thinner profile. It's a good bait when they're eating emerald shiners.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I just push mine up onto the keeper, no glue needed and they'll skip just fine.

Any pics of the bait post toads? I'm afraid of the durability of the thing after I took mine out of the package and really looked it over.

Shakyheads, Ned Rig, and spoons. Topwater walking baits if you can find them grouped up chasing bait.

My personal fattest smallie had a 8-9 inch crappie tail in it's throat and still tried to eat my crankbait.

I use a 7' MH/M for my squarebills.
