Finesse Cranks
I have an older Bagley honey B that caught lots of bass . The paint is off half of it so I bought a new one . The new one doesnt have the same action . Its in the junk box .

Unfortunate incident with fellow angler.
I know a lot of people with real nice boats and gear but not much fishing experience . Sometimes they just dont know any better . In a large tournament I marked a river channel with buoys . I caught two keepers then before long two competing boats stop and start fishing my markers . There was one on each buoy .

How to catch a PB?
Youre in Georgia not Missouri . The bass grow bigger there . I would stick with what I know and just go fishing .

Trailer or Trailer Hook?
I generally use spinnerbaits as is . Rarely use a trailer or trailer hook . On a light weight spinner I may use a trailer for added weight {half a stickworm} . On buzzbaits I use trailer hooks about half the time .

Crankbaits for bank fishing?
Crankbaits are one of my last choices to fish from bank because its just a matter of time before its lost . I lost my favorite vintage Bayou Boogies last year . That was painful .From now on I'm using my least desirable lipless baits . I like to use inexpensive pre-rigged swim baits . I have some with rattling eyes , they are the best I have used .

Snaps - How many folks use them?
I use whatever comes on the lure . Snaps make it easy to change lures but I dont retie often enough anyway . If I'm changing lures its usually past time to check the line and retie .

Where are the bigger bass?
I just keep plugging away at numbers and luck into big ones . The more I catch the luckier I get .

Similar incidents happened to me a few times . Fish long enough , its inevitable .

Crankbaits for bank fishing?
I like lipless baits from bank . That way they can follow the contour from deep water all the way to the bank . 100 percent coverage .

Lures from Grandpa's Attic
Join a lure collectors forum . Post the lures and ask for appraisals . You will probably get offers . I did that with an old bicycle and got 400 dollars .

Does boat color matter?
I tend to make my presence stealthy .I wouldnt buy a colorful boat unless it was a heck of a deal . That said my boat is white . I got what was available and my wife wanted it .
-
Pick one finesse technique only
I wouldnt do any of the ones listed , never have before . I'm not into finesse . I would go with a smaller texas rig .

Crankin Rap Discontinued
The rear trebel on these lures dont stick out the very back , they are on the bottom like the Wiggle Wart . Rapala bought Storm? Were these originally a Storm design ?

Crankin Rap Discontinued
My last day at Mark Twain last November , I limited out on the shallow diver . Two years ago my two biggest fish of the year came on a red shallow diver on a full moonlit night .

Crankin Rap Discontinued
So are youbuying them up ? I use them a lot . Shallow diving to the CR14 . I'd like to find some on clearance . I would stock up . The CR14 caught a couple hundred fish or so for me last year . They dive quick , great lures to use on points .

Listening to music while fishing
When moving from spot to spot I blast Ride of the Valkyrie .

I Am Done Buying New Lures!
I have enough lures to easily last me the rest of my life . But I still purchase new lures if I feel they will fill a niche . Red Eye Shad for example . I have plenty of other lipless baits , but when I read the RES shimmys on the drop I had to try them .This winter its the Berkely Dredger that I had to get .

Listening to music while fishing
I dont listen to music . I will listen to a baseball game .
