I had a question about the pop rivet of the buzzbait. I was going to tweak them. I bought 1/8 mm rivets. Thats the only smallest size at the hardware store. When I compare it up to the actual size rivet on the buzzbait, the 1/8 mm is a bit bigger. Will this pop rivet still work for the buzzbait even if its a little bigger head? Buzzbaits are 1/4 oz, 3/8 oz, 1/8 oz. There Calvitron Buzzbaits. Pictures below!

sorry for late response and thanks ill look.

I seen on The Fishing Network (TFN), this pro was fishing a Japanese custom crankbait. The crankbait had a blade on one of the treble hooks. I dont recall him saying the brand of the custom crankbait. Can anyone help me figure out what custom Japanese Crankbait was fished? (Sorry I forgot which pro it was, I know this is the bad part)

Quest Watersport is near me. Like 15 minutes is Ottawa from me. Im north of Peoria.

Cool thanks for the tips on pedaling. These will be very useful Yeah the 6.25 is a bummer. Next weekend in Madison, WI is the Canoecopia Outdoor Expo show. Says its biggest in world and its like black friday for Kayaks and Canoes! Ill be going to see all of them LOL.

cool thanks for the tip and thanks for your help it will be helpful in when I purchase one next month. Nothing like looking now though.

DarrenM, JFrancho, and Flyfisher. I like the sound of controlled pedals by battery. Don't have to do the Flintstones pedaling lol.

First off honor to meet u! Im glad I could get expert advise as well from people on bassresource. I love watching Fishing shows on Nbc. I can answer all I will send u a message thanks for the help! Glad to meet you.

the PA12 is foot controlled? like a trolling motor? and can I put a bag with 370 boxes (5 of them) onto a kayak?

Thanks Francho I will look at the higher ends. I want to be able to have a trolling on it. I have a depth/fish finder to install onto one. I want to be able to stand sometimes. I want it to be roomy and have space for fishing needs. I will also paddle with feet. I want the kayak to be balanced.

Awesome that you live by me. In fact, so cool you live right next to Emiquon. My buddy was fishing it one day had a 10 lb Largemouth bass almost out of water at boat and lost it! I agree on the bass being in shallow as its really shallow but also fun to catch them there. Another reason I think they are more aggressive is they flooded a ravine and then the top of the ravine was shallow like a flat. All I know is since you cant keep a bass under 18 inches, theirs a lot of big bass in there. They also do scientific research with that lake with college scientists. Another lake they use in Florida called the Everglades. Oh yea, the only can use trolling motor dilemma is crazy. Alot of small lakes in Illinois and like you said GAS PRICES! LOL Pretty cool to meet you by the way.

Its nice and easy ride. Roads were clear. Gurnee BPS is much bigger than east peoria.

Will look at website ty ^^ Cool thanks guys I will look at pro angler. Ill have to keep searching, Not getting one till april anyways.

Very nice reel and lures!

I been looking around. I want to get a kayak for when I fish small lakes. A lot of strip mines around by me. My Buddy said there's fishing kayaks. I can go up to 2000 grand but would like to stay around 1500 or less. My question is what would be the best fishing kayak for around 1500? Looking to hold two rods and a med/large tackle bag. Also can you add a trolling motor to a kayak and a fish finder? Also my buddy said you can get a rubber rack for the kayak for my Chevy Sonic? Sorry all I'm knew to a kayak, I only know about fishing boats lol. Thanks for the help all!

Yes so far its awesome I cant stop staring at it lol. yes im waiting on tax return to get my terminal tackle and lures im jealous! yes the rod is next lol the monkey is on my back still hes evil smiling.

Make sure you always bring your fishing pole. There's always time for fishing! Thanks all. I love it already and haven't fished yet. Ice frozen here *sigh*

Yes I got 50 bucks off with trade in. Also congrats on reel! They were selling alot of Revo S Baitcasters. Yes thank you. That's what I said when I touched it. I had the money and couldn't pass up the opportunity. Im going to pair it with a St. Croix Legend Xtreme MHM 7'2 Rod.

Thanks alot! I looked extensively at a lot of reels. They had a shimano and abu garcia rep there. Talked to both. When I picked up the abu revo Mgx I knew I wanted it. Congrats on wedding! I will purchase my tackle items when my tax return comes in. Happy shopping!

I have the St. Croix Avid 7"0 AVC70MHF. I use it for spinners and cranks. Like Road Warrior said the tip is soft. Also you can feel almost every little nook and cranny in the water that your lure hits whether its fish or structure. If you spend 300 dollars or more you get a free st croix rage rod with rebate from st croix website. Meaning you have to get two rods to equal 300 bucks to get free rage rod. This offer valid for spring.

I went to Bass Pro Shop Fishing Classic Sale on Friday Feb 22nd. I Was going to buy Revo Stx Baitcaster... Then I felt and touched the Abu Revo Mgx Baitcaster only 5.3 ounces! I was sold! I bought a Abu Garcia Revo MGX Baitcaster 7:1:1 in picture below What Reel or Rod did you buy? or will be buying?

Bait Monkey got me 23 different lures at Gander Mountain in Peoria, IL. 70 % off all for 40 bucks Includes Strike King Rage Tail Tubes and Thumpers Strike king Tube Jig Heads DevilHorse hardbaits Stanley Ribbit Frogs and Stanley Frog Hooks Etc.. Etc.. They're changing the store to all Hunting. The ones in Chicago, IL dont have this sale and havent done anything to store.

I had Abu's before, but not the Revo. Though, the new Revos look nice. I have friends who had Diawas and they love them. I always hear good about Shimano's. My father owns a few and loves them.

will try this. As I see from everyone else its 50/50 between PP and 832. Thanks everyone.

I want to say thanks to all who posted. I know I was throwing a dart out when I said "best." I just wanted to see what model of any brand was overall good. You guys have told me that! Thanks for the advice. I did like the Abu Revo premier. I will take a look at all the ones you all have said. I will be going friday.
