Just got some cheap $1.00 walmart buzzbaits, the hooks are suprisingly sharp, but the "propellor" i am not toohappy with because it slides and then sticks at the front, I fixed this by putting a Sea Striker plastic bead in front of the "propellor" and now it is working great for me, ive caught 5 2-3 pounders off of these the past week. Just a tip for you guys to save some money on your buzzbait purchases.

try fishing a Rage Tail craw and bouncing it off the bottom. i would fish the channel you are speaking of with the craw, but otherwise I would stick to the frog if I were you. Also maybe try a spinner bait or buzzbait in a white/chartreuse color. As a last resort I would try using some of the scent spray by YUM in the garlic/ail scent, it seems to work for me. I hope this might help you.

I have dedicated "work days" twice a month at the local pond

This may be a stupid question, but how exactly do you rig and work a zoom finesse worm?

Well...sounds like a reason to use my favorite excuse, "the fish ate my homework", I am in 11th grade and I do all my homework in class and at lunch and show my parents when I get home.

I am going to fish a local river tomorrow and I am very unfamiliar with it. there are no weeds to speak of, and the deepest section is about 20 feet. I was thinking about fishing a black/blue jig with a Rage Tail Chunk as a trailer, I also was going to fish a JuneBug colored Zoom Finesse worm, a buzzbait, and my Rapala Original Floater....I am new to the sport so does this sound ok??

I was fishing a small pond yesterday with a muck bottom and started fishing top-water with no results. I switched to GY Senkos and still no fish. I decided to tie on a 4"2-3ft diving Rapala minnow and ended up catching 6 largemouth each a little above 3 pounds within an hour. Thank you to all you guys who helped me get into bass fishing.

The Eagle Claw and the Gamakatsu are both great hooks..i guess its just a personal preference over brand names.

if it bothers you then dont reply to my threads. Im new t the forum so im learning.

I also only use Gamakatsu hooks for my worm fishing, i prefer straight shank because it has a lower profile when texas rigged, therefore there is less for a fish to feel so the fish doesnt feel the hook and spit it out. Just my opinion.

i have a ultralight zebco spinner with a 5foot matched rod. it is spooled with 8lb spiderwire mono. What are some cranks and topwater lures i can use with this little thing??

what is the best sizes and colors i can get for spinnerbaits??

yeah for some reason it has stayed cool here in central fl

i am new to bass fishing and i need some tips,opinions, ect. on my gear. I fish from the bank mostly in small ponds/lakes and rarely rivers. i carry a light-medium spinning rod and a medium-heavy baitcaster. i carry a variety of rubber worms a few topwater plugs, 2 crankbaits, a scum frog, hooks, weights, pliers, and a measuring tape......what am i missing????

no different than the front.

should I carry a medium spinning reel as well as my baitcaster with me? or does the baitcaster cover everything?

I fish for the largemouths and i know that the ones in the pond i will be fishing average about 2-3 pounds, what should i use as far as lures, and rubber worms? I have 7.5" worms so should i cut them down to about 4-5" ?

how effective is the abrogast hula popper?

Am i wasting my time using a top water plug like the Heddon Zara Spook in the middle of the day when the water temp. is around 80 degrees?

Ii have a Quantum bait caster spooled with 17# Cajun Line and it is very twisted and is quite aggrivating, I am going to re-spool my reel soon anyways with 15# Trilene. Do you guys have any tips to prevent this from happening again?

what is some great line (not braid) i can buy for around $8?

who owns one?

you ned to try senkos by the brand called Producto

Heddon Teeny Torpedo!!!!!!!!
