How many lipless cranks too many?
That Blue/Black back I recently received with a lot of other JDM Lipless baits, so not sure about its history. But I've never seen that color ever offered in stateside sites. Brian.

Why do I struggle to find and catch fish?
Don't buy into the TV Show mentality that you're going to catch 15 Bass every half hour. Brian.

I need a new Jig rod ...
The Money Maker is rated MH/Fast. It fishes on the upper end of MH. I enjoy that rod immensely. I fish it right alongside my BLX and Adrena Rods, it runs right with them. Brian.

Best Big Worm Rod
How's the tip on that rod, soft, firm? Brian.

Best Big Worm Rod
I'm also a huge fan of the ARK Tharp line. I think and know the Money Maker works perfect for big worms. Best bang for the buck in my humble opinion. Brian.

How many lipless cranks too many?
That's well over 200 in my storage. I have 2 Rubbermaid tubs filled with original Rattle Vibes, Daiwa Game Vibes, LV's, TN's and IMA Flits, 9- 3700 thin boxes filled with various Lipless and small boxes for bank patrolling. I catch fish on them from ice out till ice in. Brian.

I'll take a pic and post it tomorrow. I bet I'm closer to 1000 than to 500. I have an obsession with the Lipless Bait. Brian.

can you fish where you work? office?
II use to work at a plant where the Monocacy River passed by. I was able to convince my Boss to let me forgo breaks and take an hour lunch. Wasn't many big fish in it, but I could stack up the numbers. Brian.

Thoughts on this reel and if it’s a good buy
I use 2 HG's as do everything/general purpose setups both mounted on 7'5" Zodias Hvy/Fast. They'll launch a bait into the next state, smooth, light, great at everything I ask of them. $85, if in good shape, is stealing. Brian.

What Did I Do Wrong?
Dude, I haven't caught a Bass since November 18th and it hasn't been for lack of trying. Brian.

H2O Hooks?
I have some H2O baits that have VMC on the box. I surmised this ment, equipped with VMC trebles. Brian.

Will any binders fit side pockets on this Basspro Angler II tackle system?
The old small BPS binder fits those like they were made for it. The only problem is, the plastic binder bags are garbage. I replace mine about every year. Brian.

Old fishing holes that are off limits anymore
That's a shame. I fished there a bunch with my Grandfather as a kid. It's horrible how people will destroy something. Brian.

What tactic have you completely given up on?
I haven't given them up completely, but I flat out despite throwing a Jerkbait. I've even caught my biggest stringer in PA all on a Jerkbait, I just can't stand throwing them. I've never thrown a Ned Rig. Just seems like you've given up. Brian.

How many days did you fish last year?
House remodeling, so not enough. Brian.

Old fishing holes that are off limits anymore
Birch Run Reservoir in PA. There was an issue with the dam, so instead of repairing it, they drained it. It was bank fishing only and had some big fish in it, the PA State record was caught out of it. I was away at College and coming home for a weekend, I couldn't wait to fish it. I arrived in the dark, worked my way through the woods and low and behold, it was gone. Brian.

Finding fish in winter…look for bait, structure or bass?
Mine are usually located somewhere under the ice canopy over their heads. Brian.

Colorado/Oklahoma / War Eagle Finesse
I like taking the turtle blade from the Finesse and installing it on to the Screaming Eagle. The 1/2 oz. weight helps keep the bait down in river current, still keeps a small profile and getting a bit more thump. Brian.
