Who makes the best an what temp water do you start using them?

Try some tube baits I prefer strike king brand watermelon chartuse in 4.5inch model on a 3/16 oz jig head these have always produced for me in farm ponds as longs there were some bream in it

I have I just pulled it back towards the shank of the hook an dipped it in paint added some eyes after paint dryed I slid the lip back in place becareful not to build up to much paint where the lip is on the jig head

Cant go wrong with bill lewis

When you chase Paul all over the lake an watch him wear them out on it for seven days you'd. Change you opinion. I did

I ordered mine on the second day of tourney so I'll let y'all know how it works in a week. The company is know back ordered for five weeks glad I got mine ordered early

I know you said you tried tubes but give this a try use a 4 inch watermelon chartuse strike king salt tube with a 3/16 tube jig head that's my go to pond bait clear or stained water they can't stand the erratic action

There are more good things about tourneys than bad the only negative is carrying. Co anglers to your honey holes I know that sounds greedy but if you have a spot that's paying off you fish with a co angler in that place the next tourney . him an one of his buddies will be parked there all day

I use bill dances lure retriever from bps works great be sure that what ever you get it has a spool to put lure retriever on . Personal experience. You'll get hung get out your retriever you'll break off before you can get all those dead blasted knots and loops out. ITS A MUST GOT TO BE ON A SPOOL.

Ive got a couple skeet Reese micro guide worm rods. You can't be lazy with your cast they slow the line down when I make a lazy cast other than that I like them fine

Never used one idk when or how to apply this bait would like to know myself

What depth water?

That kinda what I figured to there's so much bait on gville this fall they can eat when ever they want. I fished last night till midnight an caught a ton of fish went back to same area this morning no bites within a half mile of where I wacked them last night. I moved out to a 16 foot point an caught a couple.

Sounds like it

I like the original db3 bagley for that sometimes i'll use a1 &1/2 oz bill Lewis rattle trap with the db3 I don't rip it lose I crank it down till it gets hung in grass then let it float up I use a 7foot6 med cranking stick . On the rattle trap I use a 7 foot med heavy. Deep is a relative term on my home lake deep to me is 15 to 25 foot the db3 does well to about 16 foot

Fish at night. They could see him . They related the noise from his cast as danger because of that. I'd fish at night with a hula popper it should work great

All I can say is awesome man bet that felt good

I always do better on new lakes because I don't have any idea's on where an how to catch them I always start looking for bait then fish. How ever that being said on my home lake I get skunked about four times a year that's fishing a about 150 days. Not bad but I believe if I fished my home lake the way I fish new lakes that number would go down.

Once your got your maps marked it not that complicated but its a real headache till you do it takes hours to make a map for one season.looking for a better ways to do it didn't mind doing that for my home lake I doubt ill do it for another it works well but all the hours
