Here's three of the 1/8 oz with 1/0 hooks.

Thanks guys. The ones pictured are 3/8 oz on a heavy 3/0 hook. Poured some 1/4 and 1/8 heads today and gonna tie some more up tomorrow. Stayed with 3/0 on the 1/4 oz but it's a lighter hook. Used a 1/0 on the 1/8 oz. I'll definitely post pics of any catch on them. Ohio river temps are running about 36 - 37 degrees, hopefully it wont be long!

Went with the St Croix Mojo Drop Shot. They had the Elite tech Smallmouth at Cabela's, really liked it, but didnt have the ML. Had the ***. I was impressed with it too. Felt sweet! Liked the Mojo just a little better. Had a $20.00 gift card so only dropped $80 on the rod. Can't wait to get on the water and try it out. Thanks again to everyone for all the responses and good info.

A couple more.

Congrats on the win! You needed five and you got em! Good job!

Sorry bout the crappy pic. Not a pic whiz!!

Started tying up some hair jigs yesterday. Gonna throw em at some early season smallies on the Ohio River. Whatdya think?

Wasn't on in my neck of the woods. Georgetown and Rutgers basketball game was on.

Will do quanjig.

Any idea on used value of these motors? Be selling this one when I upgrade.

12" prop Wayne. Thank you very much. I knew it wouldnt be long before someone on here had an answer.

I'm guessing 56 lb but not sure. Bought my boat used 5 years ago and this motor was on it. Still is. Lookin to upgrade and was just wondering what # thrust it was. Pretty dependable TM but I have busted a couple of cables on it. Bout $60.00 a pop to replace those. Gonna move up to 70 or 80 lb.

Trying to figure out what pound thrust this 24 volt, Johnson trolling motor is. Model # 8F4PP98, Serial# H02951191. Any help greatly appreciated.

I'd like to be there myself! Couldn't make the Classic in Pittsburgh cuz of work. Did make the Forest Wood Cup in Pittsburgh a few years ago, it was a good time. Still want to go to a Classic sometime. Hope the weather is good and steady for em this year. What do you guys think it'll take to win it?

Thanks for the info Quillback. Gonna be interesting to see how much the water temps come up in the next three weeks.

Any info on the lake and weather out that way? Wonderin what things are going to be like for the big sticks at the Classic.

Thanx Glenn. Tried FAQ, nothing came up for me. Understand I have 0, just never noticed it being there before.

just noticed under my number of posts it says " 0 warning points ". Never seen it before. Can someone explain?

Big ole sow belly!! Got the shape of a DT 10!! lol

T-rigged with pegged sinker most of the time for me. Dont be afraid to try one on a drop shot.

Gonna try a couple of them out. Ordered the 5:1 and the 7:1. Mostly good reviews that I've read. Some complaints about backlashing and a couple of lock-ups. Lot of guys said same thing about brakes, fstr385. Had an old Quantum 500EX finally bite the bullet the other day and the wife felt so bad for me she ordered me a couple of these KVD's. can't wait to give em a shot.

Anyone have any experience with these reels?

cant get it to play when i go to site. keeps tellin me to load latest version of flash. its already downloaded and installed. dont know whats up

Son and I thinking about a three day trip to Guntersville. Thinking maybe the first week or two of March. Looking for any good info we can get. Best time to go? Where to launch, where to stay or camp, that kind of stuff. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Lotta fantastic info skeletor! Appreciate it. Rod will be used for droppin only. Not goin over 7'. Never dreamed of getting this much good info and help on a rod purchase. Should be able to check out a Cumara at Cabelas. They used to carry some Dobyns but not sure anymore. Carry some fenwicks but not sure on the elite techs. Probably drive up here in the next couple of days and check what they got. Only a fifty minute drive and got three or four good buddies in the fishin dept. That and keep checkin on line. Thanks again fellas.
