Here is mine!

I have never had a problem with any of my Shimano's. I started with 4 Citica's then 4 Curado's and a Chronarch 50Mg. No problems with any of them, perfect right out of the box. However, I bought one of the TD-Z's from Cabelas and it felt terrible. I also realize it probably had been setting a while and needed to be oiled, but I just sold it anyway. JB

I don't think I have mentioned this yet, so let me preface my story. I have always been a pond fisherman, and have never fished a large body of water. Well as it turns out I was able to buy a boat about two weeks ago. Since then I have been out on the lake twice. I only caught 1 the first time, and I was skunked the second time. I have done my research and read many articles and magazines yet I am still unable to find fish. The lake I fish has standing timber everywhere, and this is usually what I concentrate on. I have thrown everything I can think of and I just simply can't find a fish. I think the weather might have something to do with it, because it has been really crazy, but I am not going to use that as an excuse. I still feel like I should be putting fish in the boat. I tried the senko technique on Sunday but only got 1 bite. What suggestions would you guys give me for finding and catching fish? If there is anything I need to add just let me know. JB

KW, I was thinking the same thing as I read your post. I believe that you would need to work on your grammar(writing) before you ever even thinking about writing to a potential sponsor. JB

Well this is just my second post and some people might get the idea that I am crazy. But there is a lure out there that I don't think many people have ever heard of. I also don't think they are available just anywhere. So your BPS may not carry them. But this little gem is called an H&H spinner bait. They are relatively small and weigh 3/8 oz. They come in many different colors but I prefer white and blue/chart. I prefer the single blade over the double blade. These things range from .99 to $1.50 so they aren't going to break the bank. I probably have 50 of these just laying in a box. I have caught fish as small as 8" and as big as 22". Maybe someone here has used these and can vouch for me. JB
