I buy a 100 pk of small black rubber bands from the dollar store for 50 cents. Makes a perfect ring for wacky rig.

Nice catch Lou!! Congrats!

Well none was going to fishing supplies since Im buying a house this month & paying for my wedding and honeymoon in a couple months... HOWEVER...A-jay was so kind in posting a link, in another thread, to a bunch of LC jerkbaits for sale...and you know I just gotta order some!! THANKS A-JAY!!!!

I can already feel my wallet getting thinner

A long time ago I was chasing trout in my favorite river. By this point I was pretty well versed with a fly rod. There was a large rainbow tucked behind a large boulder right next to an undercut bank and I could tell she was feeding on tiny mayflies in the film. No matter how good my drift was past that boulder, she would not come out from behind it. This older gentleman had been watching me for a while and waded over to me when I took a break. He took the time out of his day to teach me a low, side arm curve cast so I could get the fly behind the boulder and under the bank.(anybody that fly fishes knows this is one difficult cast!) After about 20 min of practicing, I was finally able to curve it while keeping the line low to the water. First cast, I curved it right behind the boulder and as soon as it landed...FISH ON!!!! I thanked the man profusely for helping me, but the best thing for me was that I could tell he was more tickled than I was! That lesson is one of the main reasons I will always take the time to help out any angler at any time.

You are an evil man for posting that link!!!

You joined the right forum. You could get LOTS of work around here!!

Yamamoto D Shad deeper w/slower retrive & Caffeine Shad up top w/ faster retrive.

There are quite a few options in that range. A few off the top of my head would be Okuma Guide Select 7'6" H or 7'11" H, St Croix Mojo Bass 7'9" H, Irod makes a few swimbait rods around that price. I have heard good things about the Irod's but have never fished one. I have the Okuma 7'6" H and the Mojo Bass 7'9" H. I like them both, but the Okuma feels better in my hands so it gets the most use. I'm sure others will chime in on other options fo you. Good luck!

Sweet video!!! Gotta love watching big browns feeding!!

Hahahaha! Cuda is short for Barracuda. Snook is short for SirSnookalot (his name)

Nice Cuda Snook!!!

1" x 1" square's of salt pork marinated in garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Works for me

A 2 or 3 wt fly rod, some small poppers, and a pond = A great time!!

Deak, you should be given warning points for having put us through that!!

Come on now Catt...everybody on BR knows you're a bankbeater ;-)

To me a country mile = 1 mile...in the country

Fly fishing!! After that would be between jigs & swimbaits. I just love hunting trophy sized fish.

Straight fluoro for me. I tried braid with leader. The thing I didn't like was having to retie the leader on the boat. I retie hooks often and had to cut 2' off my leader every time I retied. After 3-4 reties I had to retie a leader. Switched back to straight fluoro and haven't looked back.
