My favorite is the last one.... looks great!

Brushog and flappin hog

Try a small mepps as well

I was in a similar situation when I bought mine as well. It has held up better than some similarly priced BPS baitcasters

In March I will be a proud dad of a baby boy and I am already looking to buy him a Batman rod and reel to start off his professional fishing career! What did you buy for your kids 1st? My first was a snoopy one, then I got one for my 1st communion, and had it blessed by a priest!

I have had mine for over a year and love it. I havent seen anyone else use one and wondered if anybody here has and what your opinions are. http://www.usreel.com/products/BaitCaster600.aspx Thanks!

Best money spent: My undergrad degree at Bethel College Worst money spent: Having my lawn completely redone the spring that the major drought hit Kansas. or the 10ft tree my dog literally attacked and ate.

I just bought some jigheads and skirts and will be designing my own bluegill swim jig in the next week or two. I will post pictures when I am done!

I bought an old crank bait from a garage sale a few years ago. The man told me that his wife recently passed away and she was his fishing buddy. He was selling all of his gear because he didnt want to go fishing anymore without her. I have never used the old crank bait, but I like to keep it in my tackle box for a good memory.

Sounds like a blast.....hope I can participate next year....

Love the info! Hope my puny (compared to many places) Kansas bass want some bluegill swim jigs in the spring!

Hey guys, there are lots of different "bluegill", swim jigs out there, which ones have you found to be most effective, and which trailer do you pair with it. Thanks!

Thanks guys! It was a fun catch!

Caught this one from the shore at El Dorado Lake in Kansas. Used a Sexy Shad Swim Jig with a albino fluke trailer. Any guesses to weight? The bottle is 9 inches tall.

About the new addition coming in April! Will be my wife and I's first, plus a first grandchild on both sides! Very exciting stuff here in KS!

It was considering I was using my ultra light gear!

I was using an unpainted 1/8th unpainted crappie ball head jig tipped with nothing but a crappie nibblet and caught this guy!

I posted this picture in another forum as well

I plan on it. I am thinking about customizing jigs to match trailers. This one matches my green pumpkin chigger craw perfectly

Love the tips, and suggestions for new colors to use with the copper jig head?

I am already addicted, I am sure this will not make my wife too happy......

Thanks for the info! How do I get the colors to stay more separated like an Eakins Jig?

Thoughts, comments, and critiques welcome and wanted! Just a prototype, waiting on some bands from ***.....

Looks great!

Nope, just 1st with that particular spinnerbait.
