its SO MUCH cheaper in the gallon then just pour it in a spray bottle and you good to go. I got really tired of $8 for 4 oz.

just get a gallon from tackle warehouse

you know the reel monkey is screaming at me cause you said this dont you?????

what do you consider light baits??

The lews can be had for well under 2bills. I love all the TPs I have

thats a perfect weight range IMO........today I pitched a 1/4 ounce weight with a rage craw. I LOVE my dx744. I cant help on grip cause I have full cork and a lewsTP on mine.

I enjoy the fact that the 'birds have an easier interface, much less button pushing to get from screen to screen, menu to menu

also, IDK how much equpment really plays. Reason I say that I think your 66 med will be fine. Are you going to be pitching 1/2 jigs with a big trailer into a tree top with that set up? NO you wont, but you can pitch 1/4 oz with worms, tubes, lots of stuff to stumps, shoreline trees, docks ect. I "pitch" a spinnerbait alot of times myself on a 3 power rod(dobyns 733) and I know lots of guys who use a 66 med for spinnerbaits. I have also "hauled" 4 pounders off a cypress tree base with that same rod. learn the WAY to do it and when you have extra cash pick up a rod that will allow you to pitch heavier baits to heavier cover. just my opinion.

when I frst started pitching I was lucky because I hold my rod in my left hand and crank with right hand.so I dont have to switch hands......Denny Brauer says he owes much success to being left handed, lol. by your vid I would say this: 1. practice to a bucket at different distances 2.you seem to be "Throwing" it some......dont do that, make a nice fluid motion and prehaps raise your "rod wrist" higher 3. loosen all cast controls as mush as possible 4. let the bait fall out of your hand as much as possible. IE let the rod drag the bait out of your hand, I actaully held the bait in an open palm when I first learned. 5. understand you are practicing on land and it seems real high in the air...........when you are on a boat it wont, or at least you will be able to correct "release point" quickly on the water. I always practice standing on about a 1 foot tall stool or similar. 6. practice everyday for 2 weeks and it will be second nature in no time........I always used to do this everytime I had an extra 5 mintues I would make 10-20 pitches. and I need to start back , LOL 7. you wll be amazed when you het the hang of it how you can use your rod tip to "steer" the bait mid air.....LOTS OF PRACTICE needed here. GOOD LUCK, you will be slipping jigs in the water without ripple in no time flat.

JJs absoluly works... nothing hits the water before being dipped in clear JJs. I also like megastrike, though I do not use it often...... I swear last winter I got a bass to the boat that was not even hooked, he just hung on LOL.

spinnerbaits

war eagle Cole Slaw. or pure white and JJ to whatever color you would like

ok so I am trying to get all my gear stowed away in a neat and organized fashion. I want to narrow it down to 2 sizes and 4 colors so I can get everything robo to fit in one 3700 this box will serve as my drop shot and shaky worm box. I prefer the straight tail versions. 4.5 drop / 6 in shaky? 6in drop/ 7 in shaky? 4.5 drop/7inshaky? I am leaning 6 for drop and 7 for shaky for the reason the 6in for drops can always be bit off to make a 4.5 worm. I want to seek yall opinion, to see which 2 sizes you would pick, throw me some colors if you would like as well. I love the aarons magic for sure.

"black beetles" but nothing much beats a cricket.....black beetle comes close when fish are active.

I am saddened by the news, I live 30 minutes from Lake Dunn, though I never fished it. Many of yall do not know, but even the record back in '76 from Mallard (15 minutes from my hometown) had a cloud of uncertianty. Many believe even that record was not caught on rod and reel, as the fish was sick. Many believe it was netted. I wish someone would catch something legal and unquestionable.

I will participateas well....... how about a golf course? but we dont allow the public to fish.......just members, me and my crew.......and anyone I cant catch that sneaks on at night???

hooligan, I know you are the tatsu expert, and REALLY know lot about fishing lines.......but you must not get hung up any, have to break off a line, ect, ect, if you can make a spool last 3 years......or is the line just that d**n good? lol, cause if it is I really need to try it.

the Lews Tournament can be had for 120, and is a durn fine reel, and IMO should not be excluded. your prices are pure MSRP as well, which makes you miss out on some great reel cause of gap between MSRP and actual purchase price. expample, you have the lews speed spool as 99.99, but if you actually pay more than about 83 bucks you paid way to much.

I use 7.1 for jigs, frogs, texas rig,pitching anything you need to catch you to a fish with......6.4 for spinnerbaits,buzz, tubes . 5.4 for cranks. that being said I got friends that fish 7.1 for everything , then use 6.4 for cranks. each his own.

I use the BPS xps flouro........good enough for KVD good enough for me. but the bait monkey keeps telling me to try Tatsu.

sometimes I do. but if I do it like that I never go back down below 4k rpm, which is around 40mph.

never fished the other but LOVE my lews TP

those are of no help. The boat actually had one on it when I bought it.........after 3-4 trips out I took it off. No difference in preformance. It did better without it if at all.

00mod, it is a shame that to get the record the fish must die. ESPECIALLY in state parks, I think they could have someone on staff at state parks at least "in season" to do this kinda thing so the fish could live.

WOW just WOW..... I hope you get to run into him agian at the ramp later this spring
