jighead and grub. im old school.

i have several baitcast rigs but the artritus in my hands makes them very uncomfortable to use. i bank fish for bass. i keep it as simple as i can. bass fishing doesnt have to be complicated. i do this to relax and have fun. 95% of the time i use 2 spinning rods. rod #1 - 7' med/heavy fenwick hmg with a penn battle 3 3000. spooled with 30# power pro and 12# big game mono for leaders. i fish texas rigged worms/lizards, jigs and spinnerbaits on this rod. rod #2 - 7' medium fenwick hmg with a penn battle 3 2500. 20# power pro and 8# big game leaders. on this rod i fish wacky rigged senkos, ned rig, shaky head and jighead/grubs. all of my tackle, water bottle and other essentials go in a backpack. its light, mobile and i can cover alot of shoreline.

im in iowa. last year my 1st bass was caught on march 4th. im guessing about the same this year. just after ice out.

Zippel Bay resort is awesome.

wacky rigged senko jighead/grub

im hitting a few small rivers for walleye this weekend. there wont be many (if any) people where im going.

i have a 3/4 oz. red/white dardevle spoon hanging on my rearview mirror that i used at lake of the woods for pike when my wife and i vacationed up there.

they have been around a long time. ive never ordered from them though.

holy 15 year old thread batman!!! ?

im in iowa. my rod shipped from georgia on friday. it showed up today. usually takes a week from cali.

ive got a pflueger trion and president that are 15 years old. i still use them both. never had a problem with either of them. i just got a new trion a few months ago. we'll see if that reel will last that long.

we should all email BPS and let them know how we feel. since BPS charged me $20 to ship $55 worth of lures, ive started spending alot more $$$ in the local bait shops.

alot of mine are called "you peice of ****"

metal health was the 1st cassette i bought back in the early 80's. along with twisted sister stay hungary and some ac/dc. i was about 10 or 11. my mom thought i was evil. it went down hill from there.

union millwright. at least until i win the lottery. i have the right numbers....im just waiting for the right ticket to come along. cody.
