Have you looked at the fishing log on this site? It's a good one to use or to base your own off of. I keep one with date, time, location, weather, water clarity, lure(s), # of fish, and presentation of how fish were caught. There's more that I could add, but for now, it works for me.

Walmart has the Lightning Rod Shock for the same price, $39. It's a bit better than the regular Lightning Rod. I have some and love 'em!!!! Either way, either one, great rod for the money. You will love it!

Great job! That will be the first of many!

Motor oil color works every time

It's still a decent read, but I do like FLW Bass much better now. Better articles, more teaching, product reviews.

But isn't this site our "Facebook" for fishing, without having to deal with the crap that comes with it. I sure wish some of the contests would be on here as well. But I respect Glenn's decision to promote whatever he wants; just don't agree with it.

Why? I just don't understand the allure of Facebook...

Havoc Pit Boss, big texan color. Been working great in Indiana waters.

That is awesome!!!!!!

Try smaller waters. NWI has a ton of small lakes and ponds where you will have better luck. Just get on Google maps and start looking around. That 's what I do, and I've found a lot around NWI.

Totally agree! Koppers makes beautiful lures, and this one "looks" very cool. For the fisherman! I don't think that it will outperform any other crank, though. But it will definitely catch the eye of an angler

A white/chartreuse with a few strands of orange works well for me.

I have done both and caught fish both ways. The action of the lure may change with a snap, but sometimes that change can help, too. Snaps will gather more weeds and crap at times, but like I said, both have worked for me.

Don't think that they are available to the general public until September

There are notches down both sides of the head. Just wondering if a jig like this had a name? Probably homemade.

My neighbor walked over and said he found this in an old tackle box and gave it to me. Told me he's had it for years. Anyone ever see a jig with the head like this?

Very nice! Congrats!

Which is exactly why I won't purchase the high priced lures. Lures that are $8 or less can catch fish just as well as those $25 lures. And I don't feel AS BAD if I lose one

The Big Texan color has been working for me all year so far. T-rigged with a 3/16 bullet weight has been getting 'em here in Northwest Indiana

7 " motor oil Berkley Powerbait worms are the ticket around these parts!

I got some for free to try out, Big Texan color, and so far...love it. I have been fishing it with a 3/16 weight T-rigged and have had success. I would like to get some other colors to try, too, to see if its going to be a regular staple for me. The durability isn't that great, but the price can't be beat. I have used worse!

If you paid IN FULL, usually takes 6-8 weeks to get the goodies.

Its a BPS rod. I just noticed it says Pete Mania on it. Musky rod. There are quite a bit of musky fisherman around here in Indiana, so I may be able to unload it.
