Comfortably Numb

Less action then a curly tail and more action then a straight tail worm. Subtle lil flutter

Rage rig in shallow water

Once again the Pop Max/x are very versatile unlike other poppers. Find them for $10-12 on Ebay.

Late fall has past. Its winter son

I prefer the Pop Max. I use it as a walking bait and not so much as a popper. Great bait and you usually dont lose a topwater.

Your problem is not cover for the bass. You need cover for the sunfish and other prey species so they dont all get eaten right away.. Guaranteed you have way to many bass and not enought food. You may have sunfish that are large and too big for the stunted bass to eat. You need to remove ALOT of small bass and get your sunfish population back up. You do not want to just feed the bass. You want a substaniel population of sunfish. Fertilizing the pond will also help all forms of life grow and flourish.

Should be a nice new addition. Series 8XD - 1-1/4 oz. - Dives to 20 feet and beyond An extra-deep diving crankbait, smaller than a 10XD yet slightly larger than a 6XD. This medium sized XD series crankbait can be retrieved with ease while still hitting the depths where the big ones live!

Randy Howell could have thrown a turd with trebles that day and caught those fish.

I agree. For suspending SM I def would have used a jighead as a weight IF legal in that tourney format and state rules. KVD's jerkbait had three trebles (nine hooks technically)

40* water temp in VA. Ice is in and out with a few cold nights. Drop shots and blades (silver buddies) have been working well in deeper water. A couple sunny 50-60* days when bass move a lil shallower and a jerkbait or Stacee work well. Long pauses between subtle jerk/pulls

Skinny 24" 6.9# on a homemade Bluegill 5" stick wacky rigged. Fish was sick or something. Barely fough.10# head.

Old timer friend wants me to find him some. I see they are still available. Are new ones same as old? Ty

No 3/8 jig will fall "slow". Floating line like braid helps.

Do-it has all you need.

Hand pour get the silicon molds from Lurecraft

Get the Norman DD22. You can find them used for like $2-3

Sounds dangerous. Is that those clear plastic molds with the plastic plunger thing? ?

Rage rig is one of my favorites and with a light enough weight (1/16) is a good alternative to a Senko. Falls almost horizontal and slow. Skips well too. You dont always need to use a Rage bait either.

Enforcer nailed it. Inject and hold slight pressure 5 saecs. Hand pour plastic into the sprue as it goes down. Large bodied baits or multy cavities you will need to top off more than once.

Surprised no one mentioned the 4/0 Owner Twistlock. Rigs nicely backwards and you get more bites per bait. I use spinning gear and skip docks and overhangs

I hate losing so many expensive lures with light line

Everything in your list should not cost more than $100. And you could prob make at least 20 baits. You dont have to get everything from a tackle store either

Yes. Awesome bait, especially in cool water or suspended bass

Brad at Bick Baits can do that if you send him a bait. His sticks are closest to a real Senko I have seen. https://www.facebook.com/BickBaits

If it has the dullest and worst hooks you have ever seen, it's a Matzuo
