The biffle heads are pretty expensive for only 2 I have a guy here that pours them for me from the do it mold best jig alternative

Big flutter for fishing tops of standing timber it really works during the summer that and a jerkbait

I have had my current BPS 360 bag for 2 years and it just doesn't work for me. Most of the time I am co angler with my dad but sometimes I fish with someone else. The bag is just too bulky. Most of the time all I take is my Deep Cranks Shallow cranks Hooks Jigs some soft plastics I have these all in separate boxes now with the soft plastics being in a really big flambeau box. I just want something compact were I can store all my gear and be co angler. Any ideas thanks guys

This rig is on fire around here during the hot summer months & I have never thrown it. I want to get a Duckett Ghost 7'3 Heavy but I don't know if it will handle the one or two ounce rigs plus the hard hook sets I also want to throw big football jigs 3/4 - 1 ounce. I also don't think my usual Pro qualifier will have enough strength( don't want to burn it up ) Please Help Thank BR

Well I will start off by saying that I was very excited when Duckett introduced this rod. Duckett quality for $100 bucks. So I bought one, a 7' Med Cranking put a BPS Pro Qualifier on it . Let me tell you something best rod for $100 forget Veritas & other $100 rod because this is money. I can't tell anything different from the Micro Magics besides that the 7 med cranking power is changed to be stronger. It really helps. I throw everything from square bills - 5 xd on mine and I do throw big wakebaits on it too. Handles big fish like a dream, caught a 4 pounder( dink) the other night along with a 10 lbs Striper no problems.

Does anyone know what they are biting on I have a club tourney Sunday & would like to win

Crawfish colored cranks are almost all I throw if not fishing in shad they really produce giant bass

Mop jig *** don something,

You are right there is one of those stratos boats used in my area not for 30k I'm also looking at the bass tracker boats. I already have a small jon boat that will work. I fish many tourneys with my dad out of his 20 ft triton but I want to get into it for my self

Fall throw it in the rip rap & hang on

I was pond fishing with a horny toad and a 6 pounder ate it, so I swung and it went real limp died on the hook set

You didn't miss anything, that boat could tourney fish. I have a beat up 10 ft jon that I could fix up

So I believe that with all the tourneys I fish and stuff I could get this with a mercury and lowrance hds5 gen2 http://www.stratosboats.com/model.cfm?name=189VLO

You have a point do you have any other options I also want to fish ponds and the James & new river

This bait is crazy

This may mean that you need to down size or change colors

Really don't hate on weed less jigs, you can throw them right up in the trees or brush and work them out , plus they catch absolute giant bass

Yes orange is awesome to have

Red jigs do work especially when the crawfish are molting. Red, orange , colors like that work we'll during the crawfish molt

Does anyone know what the fish are biting on at Smith Mountain Lake. I have a big club tourney next weekend. I need a area and bait NOT COLORS I can figure that out

Ok , so would a 14 or 16 ft jon work with a 15

What about a kayak or bass raider style of boat or maybe a 16ft jon with a deck on the front. I really would like to have some type of deck.

Yes suggestions maybe around $1500 boat & trailer if the boat needs a trailer but, I want to be able to pull it behind my 4 wheeler to get to the ponds around my house but also be able to pull it to the lake with the truck

I want to buy a boat that I can fish by myself out of, I love fishing ponds and rivers but I also want to be able to fish the big lakes. The big lakes around here are smith mt and philpot. Possible some briery creek actions. I like to stand and fish though so no canoes

Also thinking about sun dolphin sportsman 8
