gall

I was gonna say the same thing about breaks and it's been less lately but she stll gets them time to time and I've tried to teach her about making sure it's tense and kinda fingering the line and all that but she's trying ti much to use her arm strength instead of using her rod and also we wade so getting rid of braid would be nice so I don't have to retie leader's often for her

So I got my girlfriend into fishing and long story short she has lot of issues with braid ie winding knots all that I know it's 99% angler issues but I was thinking of putting just straight fc on her reel for her and that way it's more manageable so what would you guys recommend for a good 6/8#fc for spinning reels low memory and soft would be nice o have line conditioner so I can hopefully keep memory extremely low and aside from tastu which is a maybe still price isn't a huge deal

So I jusy got another email says keyword up to 40% off

That's what I figured it was more to hook fisherman then fish I'll have to get a clear bait or 2 and a dark one to round off the spectrum

I'll have to get some bone and more clearish most of my luck cake off a crippled killer in green with a pink belly and torpedo in bull frog but I just hand carved a custom torpedo so I'll have to give it a shot making it a bone color cause where I fish the creeks and river are pretty clear most of the hear

So I forget exactly what show I was watching but they were fishing props and walking baits I wanna say and he was talking about bright colors for smallmouth does anyone have experience with that I usually throw more natural but if that's the key then I might have to change up

That's what I'm. Thinking an ul set up he's still at the stage of the good old worm and bobber as much as I wish he'd throw hardbait and soft plastic I figured I'd wait a few more years for that ha.

The mhx isn't a bad idea and I was eyeballing the uglystick junior also and frosty you know the exact frustration I go thru it drives me up a wall

So I took. My son out again today and he was catching left and right but he missed a lot cause he's using one of those spiderman rods and its so short I. Understand he's only 3 but also the reel is obviously garbage really grinds even after I greased and oiled it but off topic so my question is what do you think would be a good rod reel set up for young kid I was leaning toward a 5-5'6 ul with a 100 series spinning rod but open to suggestions I told my girlfriend wanna get him a st croix trout then talked me out of it ha wonder why

I. Might take the risk it's only 99 on cabelas website right now

Thanks everyone for the replies I was looking at the 6'10 ml actually and that's good to know about the power ratings cause I want a good rod go handle flowing water smallmouth and like the idea it will be parabolic with how the surge

Sorry If I spelled it wrong but has anyone use this rod looks a lot like daiwa rods I've seen seems pretty nice for a box store brand though and the reels in that series got great reviews

Sorry I meant the York bur the email. I got it sounds like all of them are shutting down and I miss Sportsman liquidators so much

I was gonna do the same thing in sales and deals and ironically mine 15minutes away closed down almost a year ago cause lease issue so Sunday km driving 40 minutes away hoping to find some things I know the old. One near me sold everything even the mounts ha

That's how I feel about it too I mean I need a rod that will feel a light tube getting dragged and also light craws and there's still always dobyns something about their rods always draws me in

Hmm tough choice all around the ltb would be bought unseen for a lack of better terms as I won't be holding it so it's a tough choice a guy fishing the same stretch of creek as me yesterday had a bronzeback and my. God plain. Jane but the way it. Handled the baits and fish I offered him cash didn't take it ha

I have a mojo bass m/xf love it my. Only concern sit the avid x is how well does it do with a leader I held one at a local store and love the weight and feel only thing turned me off were the guides just concerned a leader would have a tough time passing thru

So I wanna get a. Ml spinning rod for a variety finesse techqnuies and right now I'm stuck between the IMX or the ltb I can get the IMX for about 206 while the ltb will be regular price it's not the new imx older series if you had to choose which one would you choose it's a hard choice I wanna get the bronzeback but yeah not. Many choices in length and I should mention I'll. Be mainly fishing creeks and river for the old smalljaw

Willbass there's nothing more exciting then hooking into a toad in waist deep water can't say the same for musky that's all sketchy and spankey I'm the same as you I night have to try white this season

You're absolutely right no. Love at all but your first technique sounds similar to what I do and a few stretches of a creek near me moat of the beds are huffing. Shore so starting on. It and dragging it in usually gets bit or casting past a certain bed and landing in another bed ha also when they set up. In the grass I usually see the females just held off the beds in. The grass

So everywhere I read about the spawn mainly seems to be largely about largemouth and either lake or reservoir fishing and using white baits anyone on rivers or creeks chasing smallmouth do you use white lures or. More natural match the hatch colors

I get their news letter and checked there site nothing on either thing than again haven't ordered form. Then yet since just recently hearing of them

So I wanna build some custom top water prop baits in the cigar style body like a torpedo and also the flatsided like the Brian's bee does anyone know where I can get templates for either or anything on them

Snake is exactly right I hit a few diff ones and sadly all high traffic ones and up north east so granted I got a few goos deals but unlike other guys on here nothing that amazing like kvd for a buck 50 seeding those post make me cry

Thank you everyone for the input gonna check out the acu rite now
