I built my own. used a 1/2 drill with a foot pedal switch and have used it for years.

i'm not rubbing anything......................

Gene Larew salt craw.....Baby 1- and a Gator Tail worm......

yes..........both. depends on just about everything, weather,wind,time of year, location......etc. etc. etc........

I pinch my barbs when I'm not fishing a tourney. I don't have any issues with losing fish on barbless hooks.

anytime for me works...................there are 24 hours in a day and sometimes I can only go whenever time allows.

it is and always has been one of my favorite lakes......still hit it at least once a month.

I fish Blue Cypress lake all year round. it is lined with cypress trees all around. thus the name. I fish with jigs, weightless worms,squarebills,spinnerbaits and topwater plugs.work the whole tree from the base to all the root system. some of the roots or knees will go out quite a ways from the base so keep that in mind when working a tree. like Captain Phil said, some of you best fishing comes in the winter around a cypress tree.

added small willow blades to the back of my worms years ago. now everyone uses them. still do it to this day though.

been here in Fl. my whole life and snakes worry me more than a gator. leave em alone and they will leave you alone. they spook easier than a snake. you will not see a snake before it bites..........unless it rattles. just sayin......

when I retire I will fish as much as I can.if it's everyday, great.If not that's ok also.but just the fact that I have the chance to do what I love to do will be great.

after all is said and done......the fish don't care what you use. only matters to you.

this,and also fish somewhere you are familiar with. it helps when your just trying it out at first. good luck.

Culprit Fat Max..Zoom SS Utail worm...Gambler baits...all of em....spinnerbait with gold blades...Manns Baby 1 minus....trap.....original floating Rapla....Devils horse.....Bomber sqarebill...Bomber hard jerk bait......that's 10.

it is part of who and what I am. it's when I don't go that everyone needs to watch out........

water, water,water........at least a gallon a day. Pedialite,Gatorade other types of drinks in that category will work also. I work mostly outdoors here in central Fl. and water is still my go to fluid.

this........best hardbait I own.....

Welcome to the forum.....Go Cats......unless you like Louisville.........

I still use my 4600's for bombing big spinnerbaits, traps over grass flats.reel is a bit heavier and bigger than the low profile reels but it is bulletproof as all get out. reliable as anything I own. east to clean, modify,upgrade etc.love em.

BassAssasin 5" shad in any color as long as it's Native Shiner..

I have found when I use braid 20 lb. or smaller that when I set the hook hard it digs in. and when I go to make a cast it gets all out of whack. but bigger line say above 30-on up it doesn't happen as much. that is why I use smaller braid on spinning gear.

it will work to answer your question. I use 50 for frogs in Fl. won't dig in like 30 lb.

they look great.love the finish.

not at all.....

hi Logan.................thanks for your share.....welcome to the best forum on the web....that's my opinion,and I'm sticking to it.....
