  1. ^ Take a deep breath and hold it as you pull the bass from the water. That bass should be back in the lake before your next breath...
  2. Lucky Craft Gunfish original Berkley Frenzy popper Caffeine shad I'm pretty much a smallmouth guy...
  3. Put them in a tube bait and you may have something there...
  4. Fin, you nailed the description about right... original Fireline has similar attributes.

    Not entirely, but yes I fish quite a little for bass, as well as, walleye barbless.
  6. Quite often the same people who need to run their cocktail cruise between you and where you are casting to... they usually wave and ask if you're catching any. My usual response is "I was".
  7. Smile broadly, wave cheerfully and shout back "congratulations".

    Yea, I call it a hook exposed tube bait...
  9. The Brewer Spider head bronze hook version is available with 2/0 or 3/0 hooks. I use the 3/0 for bass plastics, it provides better hook up rates than the 2/0.
  10. might be your expectations are a little high...
  11. As soon as it gets to my boat... my wife has a sharp eye and would know immediately I bought another rod if she spotted one with the plastic still on!
  12. I don't know how soon that particular bass will take another meal, but I'd be too embarrassed to return to that pond again until other anglers there stop laughing about that nit-wit who let a bass pull him into the drink...
  13. Usually one spinning rod, occasionally an additional bait casting rod, but I'd rather use the space for a short handled net than a second rod/reel.
  14. Yes I'll add a different bait, but I won't quit using the "hot" bait. A couple casts with a new bait, then a couple more casts with the "hot" bait. Sometimes I circulate through several different types of baits... oe
  15. I want the tip guide to have a ceramic insert even if other guides don't... oe
  16. Lucky Craft Pointer 78 and/or 100 78 = silent 100 = rattles
  17. I don't believe the silent red eye shad is being made anymore... am I correct?
  18. Very little talk of silent models?
  19. I free-hand the hook at 5 - 10 degrees to the stone. oe
  20. hmmm... 19 of 21 internet search results being wrong?... seems about right.
  21. An experienced back-reeler will know what to do... oe
  22. A DNR built rock wing-dam... structure or cover?
  23. We've got a business started a few years back by a local boy named Berkley Bedell. It still makes a few baits locally...
