We Need An Icast '13 Thread!!!!!
Here's the new Revo Rocket 9.1 from Abu. Looks pretty much like a Premier with new paint and a revamped gearbox. Should be pretty sick for flipping and other applications where you need to take line up quickly.

Deepwater Summer Bass
don't know what you think a mojo rig is but it would be 99% impossible to catch more than one fish at a time on it. Its a single hook with a pegged weight 12-16" up the line.

Man that looks killer!

Incredi Craw!!!
Pinch the curl-tails off, and T-rig it backwards with a little nail weight in the butt end. It'll shoot under docks and cover. Deadly.

Broke Rod Tip On Hookset, What To Do?
drag? What's drag? Jk. I am using 50lb braid, I use it for frogging, punching, and spinnerbaits. I do loosen the drag quite a bit when using spinnerbaits but not for the other two.

Broke Rod Tip On Hookset, What To Do?
I also just heard from them. I am happy to announce that I am getting a new rod for just the $9.95 shipping fee. Thank you all so much for your help!

First Finesse Jigs
Those look great, but I would trim the skirt a bit past the hook bend instead of having it so long.

Finesse Carolina Rig?
nope. If you rig your bait right its not going to twist. I guess you could if you wanted to.

Finesse Carolina Rig?
What kind of cover? If it's grass I wouldn't go over an 1/8 because anything heavier will dig into the grass. If its rocks you could get away with a 1/4 oz but I wouldn't go any bigger than that.

Finesse Carolina Rig?
First of all, 3/8, 1/4, and 3/16 are not small. 1/24 is small. A 1/24 weight wIll sink your bait agonizingly slow, but that is what you need sometimes. A 1/16 is good for most scenarios from 1 to 10 feet deep. If it is 10 to 15 feet deep I go to an 1/8 or 3/16 if its windy. The lighter the weight, the more bites you will get from highly pressured fish4 There are 2 types of finesse carolina rigs- the split shot rig, and the mojo rig. The split shot rig is self explanatory, and the mojo rig consists of a long, skinny "mojo" weight pegged to your line. Both of these rigs should be dragged a few inches along the bottom, and pause for a few seconds at a time to let the bait settle. I like to use 4-6" finesse worms and small tubes with this rig. Ideally, you want something that glides back and forth behind the weight. Here is Glenn's Mojo Rig video.

weedless finesse widegap in 3/0.

Weedless Wacky Hook
Another vote for the weedless finesse widegap. Don't get the K-hook style. Idk what it is about those hooks but I lose 90% of the fish I hook with those and miss countless more. The ones I do get are barely hooked.

Frog Turds Inspired...(Video)
Mann's makes one called the super frog. No idea if it is the same thing but it's worth a look. Tackle warehouse has it. Also, I think you will find that a modern, high quality frog like a spro or livetarget catches more fish, has better hookups, floats better, walks better, and lasts longer.

New Color Ideas And 4Th Of July Sale
I would love to see 3 colors in the black series lineup. 1: Brown Rubber/Blue Craw Silicone 2: Brown Rubber/Watermelon Candy Silicone (purple & green flake, basically a sprayed grass color.) 3. Black Rubber/Chartreuse Silicone (great for muddy water.)

Hookset Question
Depends on a type of swimbait. If it has a molded in jig hook like a huddleston, I set straight up. if it is a line through with a treble hook, I set sideways. If it is a weedless swimbait with a molded in hook, I set straight up as well, and the same goes for swimbaits rigged with an EWG or weighted hook.

Lure Question
A few years ago I had a small firetiger crank made by blue fox. It came in a small kit from walmart. I don't have a picture but it was about 2.5" long and skinny, but it had a fat little belly. Nice tight wobble and dove to about 3 feet. Does anyone know anything about this lure and is it still available? I caught so many bluegill, LMB, and my first SMB, which to this day is my only smallie.
