  1. im new to baitcasters and i have a question. it seems when ever i use a plastic my line doesnt rap around the reel very tight, which makes the line easer to dig into the spool because baitcasting reels have a horizontal spool, this never happens when im using a rapala or a spinner because there is always resistance on the line when retrieving so it stays nice and tight. help!!!
  2. im not saying that girls shouldnt fish or hunt, i think its really cool when they do but i think they use guys because guys were doing it before girls, and by majority more guys hunt than girls.
  3. how much do they pay for one? i have a million!!!!
  4. so just bought this blue fox minnow spinner with the color of the original rapala and a gold blade, fish catcher or not? i got a hit on it yesterday but nothing was working, not frogs, rapalas, or Mepps. What do you guys think? ;D
  5. i have a 4 inch. you think thats atleast 1/4?
  6. so i have a new baitcasting reel/rod and it says use lures 1/4 ounce to like an ounce so does that mean i cant fish senkos wieghtless? cause i really dont want to use my spinning gear which is mainly for trout. also ive heard of people using senkos under bobbers, have u heard of it? also TIPS TIPS TIPS! i havent used the senko much, im not very familiar with any soft plastic! help!
  7. i have 12 lb test fluorocarbon with like a diameter of .29mm, should i put on a swivel and put on some lighter line so the bass wont see it, will it enhance the chances of a strike and make bass less aware?
  8. so i just got Mepps Black Fury1/4 ounce (far left) Blue Fox 1/4 ounce (right of mepps) Roostertail 3/8 ounce(right of bluefox) Mepps Aglia #4 1/4 ounce(far right) these are some pretty popular lures. do you guys like these?
  9. so i just looked at a black fury dressed with chartreuse and it rang a bell in my head! i remember this in my dads tackle box and i thought it looked great! so i put it on throw it next to a huge boulder while smallie fishing on a stream and boom!!! a huge smallmouth hit atleast 3 pounds and it took a wild leap and broke my line on the boulder! im now looking to buy a couple of these!
  10. thank you. i have a TON of 1/8 ounce for my spinning reel. i only have one white 3/8 ounce roostertail for my baitcaster. looking to add ALOT more. Would i be able to get a Mepps Black Fury at my local sporting goods store?
  11. yea i think they are wonderful and they seem to be overlooked! can i use a 1/8 ounce spinner on my baitcaster, it says 3/8 ounce and up, but i see people throwing soft plastic about that weight. why does it say not to? (new with baitcasters) ;D
  12. when i started bass fishing i started using some of my bigger trout spinners and they really produce for me! i use roostertails and blue fox vibrax, also mepps. i always see fishermen on tv using offset spinners. i have a black booh-yah but havent used it much. what do you guys like or use?
  13. thanks. im quite young, 14 actually and i really enjoy bass fishing. i mostly use spinners and rapalas tho and am trying to broaden my techniques. ive fished this a little but not enough to say anything about it. should i use a steady retrieve and a more twitchty type retrieve. ive done both. i know it depends on how the bass are that day and weather and other factors but what do you mostly do?
  14. i dont know if these are still efective in the fall, but i have a "Pop'n Frog" anybody ever used it? also have zoom horny toads
  15. i see but that doesnt answer my question. ive used them before but not as much as spinnerbaits. those are my main stuff
  16. so i want to add some more rapalas to my tackle box. what rapalas work well? best go to rapala that almost always gets fish? not looking to spend more than 8$ a piece cause where i fish there is alot of snags and im not into spending 15$ bucks or more on something i have a high chance of losing.
  17. oh my i know!!!! i bought some baby brush hogs and senkos to try and with the brush hogs i just never know when they are biting, my dad says they just inhale them and you really need to know how it feels.
  18. yes i know. im very familiar with spinners and some soft plastic frogs and some rapalas. just need to know how to to jig
  19. i have a an offset spinner bait with a black skirt and head and silver blades? is that ok? thats my only offset. but i have a big 3/8 ounce white roostertail, white seems to never let me down.
  20. yea i really wanna do some tournaments for my age cause i think im a lot more experience than the other kids. im 14
  21. im going to benezette in central PA this week end
  22. hey your from PA, have you ever fished Slippery Rock Creek? great small mouth there!!!
  23. yea i know but i dont fish this local, i fish it in the mountain streams where only smallies and trout are so its fine for me!
