I have a 3/4 trap that I use in the fall. The bigger bait seems to work better than the 1/2 ounce size.
-
I can only get out on the water about once a week, usually on the weekends. I go regardless of the moon.
-
I fish small cranks up to 5/16 on spinning tackle all of the time. For larger, heavier crankbaits I use a baitcaster.
-
The total we have had this winter is somewhere around 3.5". We usually get at least one big storm each winter.

I have actually caught bass on the Heddon Big Bud.

I like to use mono.

Right now I'm reading In-Fisherman.

But it's a dry 78 deg.

You might try looking at an auction house in your area.

We got about 3" last night were I am. They were saying we might get 3" to 5". I'm glad we didn't.

I have better luck with straight tails also.
-
They kind of look like a Mister Twister Sassy Shad.
-
I have never bought a plastic bait that I didn't want to fish with.

I like to use 1/16 rooster tails, and 2" sassy shads for crappie, but they will catch anything.

You have a couple of nice smallies right there!
-
That's a nice bass whatever it weighs!
-
Bigger is better! Nice going!

A lot of the lakes I fish have thick vegetation growing in them. I will start off with a shakey head, or a dropshot, but after a couple of times cleaning off the bait I will switch to another bait. I guess it is improving my confidence more than anything.

I rarely change them unless they are low grade. I always take a file to them no matter what. It never hurts to make sure the hooks are sharp.

Berkley 5' light lightning rod with a cardinal spinning reel on it. It's great for bluegill and sunnies.
-
It is 6 outside right now. Wind chill is about -10 degrees.
-
I've never heard of one in my area. Garage sales and auctions are about it.
-
I can think of three right off hand. Luckily I have blocked out the rest.

In warmer weather I start off with a craw, and in colder weather I start off with a chunk.
