Bought my nephew a tackle box..
His face says it all guys. I appreciate all the comments and tips. I built him a tackle box with pliers, bobbers, hooks and weights. Gave him some senkos worm hooks. Little guy loved it. He is actually really good at casting. My brother is gonna take him up for me while I'm in Alabama until I can move back up north. I'm gonna wait till he's a little older to teach him about soft plastics so I don't burn him out on fishing.

Bought my nephew a tackle box..
Hey guys, I had recently bought my nephew a tackle box for his birthday and need help to fill it. He's 7 years old and tomorrow I'm taking him fishing for the first time. I'm gonna show him the basics, catch a couple of bluegill with a worm and bobber. I know the boy will love it cause he's always amazed by my fish in my pictures I have caught lol. I'm just wondering what lures you would recommend for a kid his age. Any input would help, he's fishing mostly small lakes and ponds. I bought a few senkos and octopus hooks for him to use, along with a couple of bombers and rooster tails. Thanks, Templeton

Soft Plastics Rod
Hello everyone, I'm looking for a rod and reel combo that will help me feel the slightest bite from a bass on any soft plastic rig. My price range is 50-150 dollars. Any suggestion?

What Is Your Niche?
Never been much of a soft plastic man, but you give me a KVD 1.5 crankbait in sexy shad, and I'll give you variable results.

Flipping / Soft Plastics For Bigginners
What the bites feel like? What rod/reel type? Line Hook sizing for the different size baits Different presentation. Dead sticking, fast retrieve, rod tip raising vs slow hard jerks What lures excel in the rivers, creeks Number one thing to put in that book is to always have confidence that you are gonna catch a fish.

Time To Shake It Up
I've found that Z-Man Finesse Wormz are deadly on a shaky head. They float and hold up a great while. Rig em on the jig head, and shake your rod tip enough to make the bait go wild while keeping bottom contact. Slowly drag it as well on the bottom and when you a branch or submerged log, shake it against it or stand it on top of the timber and shake it some more.

Recommending Lures
To see if something is my favorite bait is to determine on how much work I must put into technique, making crankbaits my favorite lure.

Rapala Xrap Sizes
I recently went to Walmart and seen several Rapala xrap Slashbaits on the shelves and picked up a size 6 in olive green color. Was wondering when is it good to have bigger jerkbaits or smaller ones? Would you throw the size 6 on a baitcast outfit or a spinning? I've searched online and this site several days now, and couldn't find my answer, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Templeton

So to all of y'all that lost so much weight, how did you do it? What kind of food did you eat? How many calories did you plan to burn a day or how long did you stay at the gym? Did you weight train, or strictly cardio?

Walk The Dog Lures
Top water lures are at their peak during the morning as the sun is rising or just rose, or as the sun starts to set and several hours after dark, but I have found that they can get bit all day long.

It doesn't have to be necessarily for this time of year.

Building A Tackle Box
Cranking around the trees might work, but by the time I start to crank the bait, the current pushes the lure downstream.

Building A Tackle Box
Its very rocky inside the pool on the right side with a decent population of various sunfish, on the left side, it has a sunken tree followed with sand.

Building A Tackle Box
The current is so strong when I threw cranks in there before, it pushes it to the post and it gets snagged. And by wall you mean rockwall right?
