Basshammer

Oh yea i have a bb1 pro lews and that is so smooth i can't put it down sometimes. I am sure the curado is just as good just personal preference.

well, i like it when the cork starts to turn dark, tells me i have been using the rod a lot. Plus like the feel of cork and if i need to clean it will use some clorox clean up and that does the trick.

No, not necessary i use a 7 mhm and hardly ever miss any fish. I also have a 6.6 that is fine also.

Lipless: Red eye Shad Topwater: Zara Spook squarebill: Strike king 1.5

Bass Pro has the stick 0 worms which are fairly chep compared to yamamotos and yum has there version of yum dingers which are great, Strike King has a ocho worm i think. Try these out and see if they fit your fishing technique.

Nice looking fish, you can't beat that jig fishing.

I love a paca chunk for a trailer

I use zoom and gitzits

Oh yes, i love the rage craw around docks and brush piles hookup is great on them.

Oh yea, nothing but 12# fluoro for me.

I have a Pflueger Trion for spinning that works for me very well.

My favorite setup is a 7ft Falcon bucoo rod and a plueger purist 6:4:1 with 50 lb braid and 17 lb stren fluoro.

I don't know what they have been eating up your way, but they sure like shad where i am cause they are eating my shad rap pretty well.

I saw a chronarch setup in a fishing shop teamed up with a Shimano Volteous rod.

I remember fishing the river close to my house when i was 6 with worms i dig up and snelled hooks and a johnson closed face reel. I wore the gears out in that thing and bought a zebco 33, those were the days.
