I fish a lot of clear lakes and therefore use somewhat light line. I typically throw 8lb flouro. When fishing clear water with jerkbaits, drop shots etc. what's the lightest line you have or do use?

Sweet can't wait

My worst would have to be Illinois and Indiana... Granted I haven't fished in too many other states there is just a lack of quality fisheries around here

Chompers drop shot worms are all I use

Gamagatsu or owner drop shot hooks, a tungsten pencil style weight and chompers drop shot worms are pretty much all I throw. I don't think you can beat a chompers drop shot worm

Caught a few nice smallies in a high pressure lake with these, they deflect off of cover very well

Received quite a few of the original fishing snakes as a gift a few years ago. I find myself using a frog more often because it casts so well, but these lures do work and the hook up ratio is excellent, I've never missed a fish

C-Rig... Tried it once and I'd much rather throw a jig or dropshot

Drop shot works best for me as soon as they thaw, ponds still frozen here in Illinois

Wish there was a 5 or 6 inch version for our northern lakes

For creeks my best lures are 3" or 4" wack rigged senkos, drop shot works well too especially w/ gulp alive minnows, and can't wait to try river2sea standing yabbies that I picked up should work great too

The action is great.really Looks like the real thing and catches big fish

7'2"

Chompers drop shot worm is my favorite

If you know where the bass are in the pond then it's not bad. There's a pond in my subdivision that is VERY small. There's probably a 30'by 30' square that is deep enough where the bass hold. I was able to catch a couple when there was even some ice in there on a drop shot. It's really works. I use a spinning setup, 8lb line, and choppers drop shot worms

Yeah the highs are mid 40's here in Illinois. I was planning to fish the drop shot in some ponds in the coming weeks. Usually produces. Or throw a sponnerbait

He also had a show where he used a med. action rod while using hollow bodies frogs. I guess he just does whatever he feels like at this point.

You can consitently get lews tp's(200$) for 130 on ebay. Great deals.

My biggest muskie was 8 lbs, oh man

3/8oz black and blue jig

There are a ton a lews fans on the forums, including myself. Sweet reels

Thanks guys, the water still felt steaming hot and the fish were sure biting. Caught some nice ones

Hi guys, headed out to fish in a couple hours. The weather has been 90+ the last week and now yesterday and today its 70. Is this what you guys talk about when you say a front? Like cold front? Any tips on what the bass should be doing or is it mostly the same? Thanks a lot guys

How deep was the fish caught? 6ft Did the lure contain rattles or have hinges? Spinnerbait Was the lure a natural color (brown, green) or was it an unnatural color (chartreuse, orange)? Natural If possible, what moon phase was your PB caught during? N/A

Never seen a lamprey before, here in N.IL it seems like every fish we catch has some leeches in their mouths
