Ultralight Fishing Questions
I use a 6'-0" rod with 6 lb mono. I like the heavier line just in case I catch a good size fish.

Am I the only angler here who uses ONLY spinning gear?
I own two spinning reels. One I use for small finesse plastics, and the other I use for ultra light baits.

Days Off Work And Murphys Law
It's usually nice all week until Friday when a cold front moves in.

Yozuri Hybrid???
I like the Hybrid in 15 pounds. That stuff is really strong. I don't care too much for the ultra soft though.

Flipin/pitchin At Timber
Jig on a heavy action rod. You don't want to go light around timber.

Help Figuring Weight
For you guys that catch double digit largemouth on a regular basis I am trying to figure out how much a 29" bass in healthy conditions might weigh. A person I know went out last weekend with no camera, scale, or measuring tape. He laid the bass down next to his rod and marked it off. When he got home it was 29" between the marks.

Mono Of Braid
I would try one or two rigs with braid first and see how you like it. I have tried it over the past two years on a couple of my spinning and baitcasters and didn't care for it.

From: Top Water Frogs
I seem to get a lot of little bass just hitting at the frog. Also I tend to have a lot of real frogs going after the bait.

Colder Water, Whats Working For You?
Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and jigs mostly. Plastics seem to be a hit or miss right now.

what are good color buzzbaits to use in early spring and early A.M summer?
I've never had a lot of luck with buzz baits. I do like throwing a large black jitterbug first thing in the morning.

Favorite bait, weather, and cover
Just saw this thread. I like spring and summer, as long as its warm. I like fishing in grass and/or timber with jigs and plastics down about 10 to 15 feet deep.

New President
I have a Mitchell from the 70's and its built like a tank, but I don't use it anymore. The last new one I owned lasted only four years and the worm gear went out in it. Several people I know have Presidents and they love them.

New President
Just got back from exchanging a BPS Pro Qualifier spinning reel for a Pflueger President. IMO a much better spinning reel. Seems be be a lot smoother, and it sort of reminds me of the old Mitchell 300 reels from way back in the 1970's.

Best way to cut braid?
X2 ...although mine only lasted for about a year, they are cheap, so buy a couple.. X3 on the kids scissors. Power pro dulled my knife blade and fingernail clippers wouldn't cut all the way through.

Anybody use twitter?
No. I'd rather be out fishing.

Truly thankful for this site
Yep, this sight taught me how to fish for bass.

How light can you go on a BC?
The lightest I have thrown with my Revo S is a 1/16 jig. I usually don't go lighter than 1/8 ounce.

dumbest thing you've done while fishing
I've done so many I just can't decide on one .

Keeping your tackle hidden from wifee?
I don't hide anything.
