  1. Welcome!

  3. Welcome!
  4. I'm starting to prefer the EVA because it's more comfortable in my hands after several hours of fishing.
  5. Cavitron Zell Pop Super Spook Jr
  6. Hope the bill doesn't fall off those like it does on their jerkbaits
  7. Great looking fish!
  8. Not many fish I'd rather catch than a smallies that size, a 43lb striper is one of those though.
  9. Chartreuse shad homemade bladed jig back in January. First cold water bass was on a custom painted 110 KO jerkbait.
  10. It's a legal method of taking fish whether you agree with it or not. This is right there with the keeping bass to eat argument, which never goes well either. LOCKDOWN!!!
  11. Pit Boss, Menace, grass pig jr, 2/3 of a 5" senko, 1/2 a trick worm, I use any of them at night but generally go for the bulkier baits. Bass Pro used to carry a 5" stick worm with a short C tail called a swizzle stick that is a great trailer at night.
  12. I always use a trailer but never a trailer hook.
  13. It's the only way to take paddlefish for the most part. You can bow fish for them in some states but the turbid rivers they live in largely don't make that an option.
  14. I have some 3/4 or even 1oz ones if you really need to burn one
  15. The ones with the split rings hunt while the direct connect ones don't, both have their advantages.
  16. It takes the biggest hook I could get without modifying the mold and I wanted to make swim jigs with it. I think the narrow head gets shoved around by the water a little more during yhr retrieve which enhances the hunting action.
  17. Yes, it's a swim jig head so it's more slender than most.
  18. Dad and I are going to Melvern tomorrow. I'm just hoping that we boat a fish. Going to see if I can scare dad in the new boat too
  19. I night fish a lot and bladed jigs are always something I have in use. These are some of my most successful colors. and I'm hoping that this one will contribute to my night fishing efforts this year as well.
  20. I fish a Havoc Pitboss or Rage Menace rigged sideways, 2/3 of a 5" senko, 1/2 a trick worm, Havoc Grass Pig Jr. I'm playing with the Zman Diesel MinnowZ right now and really like them so far. Also have some of their Turbo CrawZ that I'm going to try once the water warms up a little more. When I rig the Pitboss I cut the top segment off, so it looks like this when rigged. The fish seem to approve of that rigging though!
  21. I too am from the cranial enhanced group (size 8 hat if that helps). Costa Fisch are what I wear. Even those get a little tight towards the end of the day sometimes. Wiley X makes a big head pair too but I'm not sure what they're called.
  22. I make my own and have been very happy with them. The new Project Z chatterbaits are very nice baits though. The baits like the Zman chatterbaits have a much faster wiggle because the blade has a smaller range of movement while the baits that are attached by a split ring have a slower vibration and tend to hunt as well as the blade swings much wider side to side. Both have their benefits.
