I think he means post here that you have soft plastics for sale in the flea market so we can take a look and possibly buy.

I just get out to the water when I can, regardless

I really appreciate your posts. They are so informative!! I am a newbie to the baitcaster so it's a learning experience every time I'm on the water. I set up the BC with 3 brakes on the centrifugal brakes in a Y pattern and the magnetic brake is set to 5. Where do I find the shrink wrap I googled around and not really finding them.

I actually found the screws for sale individually and they are made by Owner. I was wondering if they would work with the hooks I have now. But the recommendation was to use a lighter wire hook.

Leave it to the newbie haha

Thanks for the link. Quick question, why the light hook vs a heavier hook? Could I get away with buying the twist locks and put them on the XPS Magna Lock EWG hooks I already have?

With all the critters in there I'd call it a loss. Nice bass though. Never caught one that big there before.

Reporting for duty. I was so excited to see that senko fly then reality set in. Oh well still learning. If anyone has some thoughts on how it happened I'm all ears.

Ever do one of these. Put on my favorite color senko on the hook. Put some megastrike make sure everything is looking looking good. I really want to get more distance so I really try to load up the rod. I load it up and whip that senko so I get way out there in the lake. The lure takes off holy cow look at the distance I got on that sucker I smugly think to myself... Then I notice the horrible backlash and realized the whole the senko detached from the hook. Head slap. But I gotta say that San Diego Jam knot is strong. Lost the senko to the oher side of the lake but the hook stayed in place. Sigh. Spent some time pondering as I undid the backlash.

Never heard of anyone doing it. Floro is already transparent in the water unless you are looking for the buoyancy of mono on the end.

Two rod and the the tackle box with my license in it in case anyone asks

Polarized sunglasses and a high point to look at the water is usually what I end up doing. Also looking at satellite pics can give you some ideas at to what is out there.

That is very cool of you to share!!

MegaStrike and Spike-It are what I use... I do want to get my hands on some JJ's, just wish I could find some locally.

Any z-man bait since they will melt my other soft plastics. Not interested in that, and the Alabama rig does not interest me at all either. Just seems like its cheating.

Let us know how you like it.

Nice to hear you had a great day. My best day was 11 fish in a few hours. What a rush you most have felt. CONGRATS!!

Congrats, at least you still have a few bucks left over to go to the battery and a good deal to boot

I am lovin mine. But it's my first BC so I have nothing to compare it to.

Well I recently bought a Veritas it was $99 not sure how much the trade in will get you down to. And you have to factor in sales tax. I have heard good things about the BPS Bionic. One thing I do when researching anything is look at the customer ratings and also the number of reviews. A 4.5 star rated item with 600 reviews hold more weight than a 5 star review with only one person. The reviews should help you narrow down the choices out there.

It would be helpful to say where the cat is located.

In a few more days BPS will have their rod trade in. That could help you get a little more rod.

Just smile as you say to yourself "Here fishy fishy"

Since I just bought a veritas, I would say the veritas

One would think, but I am sure they want to drive traffic to the stores.
