Welcome!

tournament pro. getting another one soon

They are now all important to me. but its all about presentation my first bait caster was a 7.1. used it for everything crank, jigs, top water you name it. I still caught fish . Later I realized that each turn of the handle was cranking so much line, even if I was reeling slow. So with presentations that I wanted to fish slower, it was still very fast. I have now learned my lesson haha and have been using the right reel for the things I want to do. Rod always used a 7 foot medium heavy. which will get the job done. But I have found different rods that I like for specific applications. line same thing I use fluro, mono , and braid all for different presentations.

awesome! good to hear!!

nice catch!

Nice fish!

HAWGS!!!!!!!!!!! NIce fish man!!!!!

im going to check my local wal marts. Yum dingers are my favorite !!

I use big worms in the summer and fall. spring summer fall I use creature baits. like Ajay said big worms have been catching big bass for a long time.

solid outing man nice!!

congrats!! nice fish man

nice catch man! Can't wait to get out there

im not sure about where I live but im going fishing in nj this weekend. ill be going down every weekend to fish until ice out up here`!

x2 I have plenty of bags of them they work well!

black and blue or black and red doesn't matter to me. they both catch fish. and haven't seen much of difference

yeah my wal mart had a sale last year stocked up on the clear and bone white colors. along with a few other. the clear works well. I put a stripe or something on the bottom if I feel I need to. they work well.

I like 1/2 oz for dragging around rock piles and looking for stuff on the bottom. but most of the time if im skipping docks or fishing a jig around grass its 1/4 to 3/8oz

beetle spin has been on my list of this to try when the bite is tough but I always seem to resort back to a 4inch senko and fish it wacky. I have like 30 beetle spins and never fish them.

I bring a decent about of stuff but it all depends on where I'm going, and the time of the year. I have spots where I only bring frogs and plastics for flipping. or I will only bring my swim bait rod and spinning rod for plastics. other places I fish that are bigger like small lakes or big ponds. I'll bring more stuff with me but its always changing. Almost always I have jigs, plastics, some kind of top water, and some kind of moving bait like crank, spinner, rat trap. ill carry a few different colors in each bait. and then sometimes ill throw a few random things I feel like trying out. but most of the time I can pick up what is going on in water. I have a few spots where I can get dialed in and the other ones that are tricky to figure out ill bring more stuff. I always carry terminal tackle in a Plano. a scale , pliers, and tp

thanks , that looks sweet digging black and blue!

we got about a 4x10 area by my drive way with some grass showing

as soon as there open water! like others have said, i've caught some quality fish with half the pond frozen and half thawed.
