    Roboworms are the best for shaky head and drop shot!!! They are all I use BEST COLORS! The bright colors are great for slightly stained water.
  3. 1. Drop shot 2. Texas rig- Black and blue chigger craw 3. jig Macs Tackle RJ!! 4. Shallow crank 4-6 Square Bill in a shad color Rods 1. Spinning rod 6 foot 10 inches med action. 10 lb braid 6 foot 6lb fc leader 2. Casting rod 7 foot med heavy action 15 lb fc
  4. Finding the fish. Getting on patterns in one day. For high school thats sometimes all I afford to fish and it sucks one practice day. But if the fish are there i can "usually" catch them
  5. palomar knot! no need for any other.
  6. This biggest thing is to still have fun while doing it! #6 test on spinning gear catching 7 pounders and up taking 15 minutes to bring her in!
  7. I usually buy a lot of colors and styles of soft plastics, figure out what works then buy around 5 packs for tournaments. Cranks I seem to go through them like crazy so im always buying in bulk.
  8. 91 since its coming out on 9/1?

  10. overhanging trees or any other shade area. use plastics something slow they are really not gonna eat unless something is dropped in front of their mouth. Good luck
  11. Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it!!
  12. Are there any rules or guidelines for a non-boater or co-angaler that i need to follow when fishing on the back of the boat Thanks, Matt
  13. Ok well I was really considering them. Who has them and what do you think?
  14. Me i'd personally fish points either a carolina rig or deep deep cranks! Lol just fished a tournament like this and those we the winning baits. I opted to fish the banks pitching a jig wrong choice but as gobig said it depends on the lake

    Hello I am a freshman at Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox, Il. I have been fishing ever since I could hold a pole and love it! My fishing partner and I Duke Hill completely turned the fishing team at our school around. Duke is a junior, also at Providence. Before we came into the picture our school had not even weighed a fish in at the sectional tournament, this year however we took second place with a weight of 14.37 lbs. Then we competed at the two-day state tournament. We took 14th out of 57 teams with a weight of 23 lbs. 2 oz. We just entered another tournament that we will be competing on lake Shelbyville. This tournament is expected to bring a big crowd so it will be a way for you and us to get our names out there. Duke and I love your products and are willing to support you in anyway possible! A sticker to put on our boat or hats we could wear would really help you in getting your name out there. Here are links to our interviews by the Chicago Sun Times http://southtownstar...laces-14th.html http://heraldnews.su...-of-finals.html http://heraldnews.su...l-in-title.html Thanks for your time!
