Those are some great looking fish!!

Try some hair jigs...jerkbaits for sure...

How long is your leader? I tried using braid to skip senkos. It helps in the actual skip because braid comes off the spool easier, but I know I was missing bites. My partner was out fishing me 3-1. I now use all fluro.

Great looking fish! Congrats!

I've caught many smallies on jigs. You'll just need to experiment and see what they want on the day.

Looks like you had a great couple days! How heavy was the big one in the first pic? Looks huge!

Great fish! Congrats

I ended up getting 2. Both are medium power. One 6'8" and one 7'2". I think this will help fill some gaps I've had in my combos. They feel great. I'll be keeping my eye out for a medium heavy.

They guy takes trades, was thinking of trading a kistler argon in medium heavy for a medium heavy cumara and picking up a cumara in medium to go with it. Just wasn't sure how much better the shimano was then the argon since I've never fished a cumara.

Thanks for the info guys. There is a medium and medium heavy that I have my eye on. I wasn't sure about the warranty, that makes me feel better that they will honor it even if I'm not the original buyer.

What do you guys think the gen 1 rods are worth in good condition? I've read some older reviews and they all seem positive.

For weights I use 1/8 ounce unless I'm in heavier winds.

Great looking fish! Congrats!

Had a great day on the water yesterday. The bite started off tough. Fished grubs and tubes and couldn't get bit. Everyone that I saw complained that the bite was tough. It took me a bit, but I threw on a fluke and ended my day with a sauger(grub), 2 rock bass(grub) and 8 smallies all on the fluke. Biggest was about 17.5 inches which is my best in the small river that I was in. I'll post some pictures as soon as I can. Feels great when you sort out a pattern!

Thanks for the advice. It was a tough day. Only half the teams weighed in fish.
