Black Jitterbug.

A few months ago my Walmart had Cordell Super Spots for $1.20 if I remember right. I had the clerk behind the counter check the price to make sure it was correct, then I bought three of them.

Curado E7 on a St. Croix Premier for jigs. Revo-s on a Daiwa rod for weighted plastics, or fishing weightless baits in the weeds. Abu 5600 C4 on a BPS Bionic Blade rod for cranks and spinnerbaits. Pflueger President on a Daiwa Procaster rod for light weighted plastics, drop shot, shakey head, and weightless plastics in open water. An old Mitchell 308 (probably need to get a new reel) on a BPS ML rod for ultralight stuff.

Several years ago I bought a bunch of BPS EWG hooks in sizes ranging from 1 to 4. I have had good luck with those, and I still have some packages that I have not opened.

Fiskars kiddie scissors. IMHO, braid will dull cutters faster than anything.

Nice looking lake. You guys caught some nice ones!

Good job!

Egg shells, and coffee grounds.

Weak knot. A nick in the line, or in of the line guides.

When I get skunked I feel like I have had a very unproductive day, and that maybe I should have been doing something else.

I can get them on a 1/16 white rooster tail.

It kind of makes you wonder how some of these guys would handle a 40 hour a week job.

I use one of the small hook sharpeners from BPS.

6'-6" MH rod. Revo-s reel 15# Fluoro. weightless. I have tried with 1/16 weight, but IMO, it cuts down on the action

Another nice bass! Way to break in the new ride!

Slow where I went. I got one dink on a live worm, and my daughter got a sunfish that was almost the same size as my bass. I didn't see anyone doing any good with artificial bait.

Dawn. A lot of the weekend warriors are not out yet.

Yes. If they have jurisdiction over the waterway.

Smart phone. I love that thing. The internet. Wouldn't be able to have BR without it

Always had luck with small spoons on UL gear. We just tossed the bait out into the middle of the school when they were working the surface.

That sounds like what happened to a couple of Tourney Specials I had a few years back.

It depends on the quality of the snaps.

Congrats! Looks like you've got the jig figured out.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. It depends on where I will be fishing, the type of bait I will be using, and what cover/structure is in the lake.

White with no trailer. I do like to use spinnerbaits with colored blades.
