Best Jerkbait For Around $10
+1 on the SK Kvd J300 in Ayu. Did very well in the spring with that color. Had pretty good action. Smithwicks are great too.

Siebert Swim Jigs
It will, so don't bother. Like others have said, I don't cut mine down anymore. I used too but I only found that the stiffness cutting created, it pulled in more weeds with it. I just fan them our really good and that seems to work best for me.

Is It Worth It?
While I primarily use Shimano reels, I have a few outcasts from the bunch including my Smoke below. I added the 102mm Swept handle from Hawgtech and the Septon knobs. I have not had any issues with my reel going over 3 season with it now. Mine has been a solid reel, but I would probably still opt for a Shimano before buying another smoke. My issue with the smoke is the brakes are insanely touchy to adjust, which is why I've opted to use this as a punching/heavy flipping reel on my Dobyns 766c.

80Lb Braid
I use 80# Cortland Spectron braid on my musky gear. Not sure if they even make it anymore but the amount I have wil probably last long enough for the amount of ski fishing I get around to.

Where are all the Illinois Guys ?
Bluegill colors are a staple all year in Wisconsin. Try some Sk Caffeine shad in smokey shad and KVD magic. Jigs are always good as well as hollow belly swimbaits. I wouldn't worry about color a whole lot. The bass are ready to feed.

Chronarch 150 Ci4+ Reviews
I use my 150Hg for my square bills and wake baits on a Dobyns 705cb glass. I have a hard time setting this down as I always want to use it. (when I actually get to fish that is......)

That's pretty bizzare. Doesn't sound good at all.

Best Frog Reel
That is my frog reel. I can bomb a frog with it, plenty of power, plenty of spool capacity, and an upgraded drag for $8.00. This will be my frog reel for life until I physically destroy it some how.

Punch Hook Question
It's to keep the bait from sliding back down the shank.
