my pitching rod is a mh/f 7'3 use it for arky heads around docks. Football heads I fish either deep pockets or structure 20-30 ft deep. Would extra fast help on a quicker hook set? My hook up ratio sucks. I think it's either the rod length not moving enough line fast enough or the tip is too slow.

Have been using a 6'10 heavy kistler. Looking to add casting distance and something more sensitive. Not looking for brand recommendations per say, more or less length, action, taper. The brand/model you use if you care on sharing is welcome. Thanks in advance. *edit my hook up ratio sucks as well with this technique... Still learning

Abrazx 17# crank, 15# jig, 12# t rig. InvizX 12# deep cranks, 10# jerkbaits, 6# drop shot. Senshi 12# spinner/buzz/chatter baits, 10# top water. Smack down 30# light jigs and frogs.

As the title says, cheers!

I have a local lake that used to have tons of bass crappie and Sunnys. Over the years I've seen people literally fill a bucket with fish and after they die dump em back in. I totally feel where your coming from. I've given em my 2 cents. *edit, in CT there's less than 5 wardens that cover the entire state, and unless there's a immediate threat to the environment they don't come out.

Love it! Thing is a tank, reminds me of Penn Battles but way better. Read that it may be a DSG exclusive model. Oh well for $50 can not go wrong. One downside is on my ***, it doesn't tighten down all the way like the feet are a little too big. But it is a 300 size maybe the 200 (2500 I'm guessing in shimano terms) would fit better. Some reels tend to use the same frame for certain reels and just different spool sizes. Either way it's awesome nailed a 3.9 smallie on a senko with it today. Drag peeled smooth.

Stopped by Dicks to grab a extra spinning reel for a combo. Didn't want to drop the coin on another Stradic. Debated between quantum nitrous and lews carbon fire. Both at $50 they they look very similar. Reel feels really Smooth. looking forward to fishing it Sunday. Have it on a 7'1 MH *** with 12# invizX.

there is a fishing channel on dish reason I switched from cable

40-47 degree water all my jerk baits: clunn, Ito, rapala, etc. suspended flawlessly last week. Yesterday water around 52-55, couldn't get them to suspend at all. Added 5 split rings to one and it floated. Added a tiny split shot it dove nose down like a sack of rocks. Is there a happy medium trick that isn't time consuming to figure out what works.... Season is so late this year, no beds yet, still lethargic.

I'm at a loss here, I've never had a bait literally stop working unless it was completely destroyed. Just the golden black color on nose is chipped a bi. No cracks. Re verified that tonight, it's not filling with water.

nope hooks didn't get stuck or deformed in anyway. The nose is lightly chipped.

yesterday was my first time out this year. Usually it's great for bass, just couldn't get em in the boat yesterday. Yeah I guess they stocked it with browns and rainbows

Xrs8 size I run a fast crank bait retrieve. A confidence lure of mine on one lake here

Got one of these via one of the subscription services, first cast with it had a follow and a light hit I missed at the boat. Few casts later got stuck in some rip rap, after that the thing wouldn't swim right. Like you would have to yank real hard to get the wiggle going. I've had tons of lures get stuck and loosened and unless it broke it still wiggled right. Any of you guys experience this with these? I like the light rattle sound would be good for a few places up here.

So today was opening day up here in CT. Hit up Candlewood with a friend. Awhile back had a discussion on here when I purchased the RC jerk baits. Gotta say I like them a lot however didn't catch a single bass. But managed 2, 2.5lb brown trout on them dinner was great lol. These stayed suspended nose slightly angled down with 10# invizx in water temps of 41-46. Actually between these my 1 Ito, 2 smith wicks and a rapala, the RCs were the only ones that stayed suspended the rest floated. Banged some rocks a couple times too, no paint chippage. Over all satisfied and by the hole in my thumb the hooks are good too out of the box. Lmaooo

that's awesome about cal. My fave ball player of all time is Will Clark. He's another one that had a ton of passion for what he loves.

Awesome!

Just mentioned the other day to Paul a lot of the guys around the net feel bassmaster did lousy job of covering you. He said he feels they did a good job, and appreciates all the support from you all.

smh lol idiots

So basically the spammer who created the hysteria used the excise tax information in place of the medical device tax information??? Well even though theres now some truth to the email the best truth is we arent paying the tax!

So no its not a hoax, just a error that some asshat exploited and try to capitalize off of

Sport fishing tax: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p510.pdf Page 31 its there. Its probably a hidden tax that the store pays when purchasing from manufacturer then in return price goes up to the consumer for the retailer to cover it.

>< I just started a thread on this, (Glen locked, sorry on double post) as I just got the email fwd to me. Although, if you actually take the time to go to the .gov links fishing stuff is actually listed. For tax from where/what law/etc. IDK...

Anyone see this Medical Excise tax added to your Cabelas receipt in amount of 2.3% of purchase price. Got a email about it, checked the .gov links and fishing stuff is listed... http://www.irs.gov/publications/p510/ch05.html This is insane!
