certainly I would use braid a lipless in grass or any other veggieshowever with a diving crank I go flouro. usually 12# for deep divers and 14# for square bills one thing however, dont be so afraid to lose a bait. I only say this because I used to be like that too and ive learned over that sometimes you gotta sacrifice some baits in order to catch fish. even though I hate it I will throw a 6xd or a lucky craft deep into timber knowing I will either lose the bait or catch a fish or end up back in there trying to get my lure out. I fish jigs the same way only I use heavy braid vice 12# flouro

i use the palomar for everything my question however is why are you using braid for crankbaits?...Braid floats and hinders the achievable depth for any crankbait

all ya need on the whinni is a chartruese spinner bait! lol last time i fished winni (may 2005) my partner and i scored well on pointer 110 ghost minnow, x-rap black and chrome, black and blue jigs, drop shots (green pumpkin worms) and chartruese w twin willows in silver or chartruese had to look in my old fishing diary for that lol

my two go to baits are a T-rigged Sweet beaver or a black and blue jig you will always find two rods set up like that on the deck and usually one of them is in my hand that is until deep crankin time comes in my area. but i still keep the beaver and the jig on deck

I like 12# flouro on my jerkbait rig. cant go wrong with braid or mono though.

I have Red Label on every rod but one. my heavy froggin rod which also doubles as a heavy cover jiggin stick. that lady gets 65# power pro is it the best flouro oit there? no, but for the price I dont think it can be beat. sure there is some spool memory when it sits for ahwile but a little conditioner will cure that

nice linesider right there!

my advice is dont over think things snd fish every hole as thouroughly as you can most importantly, have fun

years ago I fell on my face in the boat and broke my GLX. I called loomis and tne dude told to break it up and but in an envelope to save on shipping. I had a new GLX 10 days later. I was pleased to say the least! loomis customer service has always been awesome for some stupid reason I sold that rod

I have learned to bass fish when I want to catch a musky. if I put on a steel leader and launch big musky baits tjey show ne no love. I have lost more bass gear to musky and pike than I care to think about lol

chronarch, revo stx, revo premier, lews tp, team lews. all good!

a sradic 5000 would be sweet as would the cabo or boca also check out a WM sabalo 50

I use a lews laser crankbait mh with 12 flouro for deep cranks in standing timber quite often. for square bills in tje shallow timber I ise the same rod with 17 or 20lb flouro the rod os rigjt at 100bucks

I suggest you quit making sense asap lol

cant say I have ever had this problem. I use tru tungsten and vmc tunngsten weights. now watch now that I said it I will habe this problem this year lol

I have 25 bitsy flips in my box right now....great little jigs especially for the price and I know I will lose 80% of them this season lol

gotta get sneaky man...be a ninja and dont let the fish see you until.you stick em! oh try a jig or a lizard.

my cobra just sits in the garage begging do be driven or raced...seriouly thinkin aboit selling it so I can get my own boat

this if im fishin shallow!

my g3 stx did the same thing to my the other day

I would be throwing a 5 or 6xd depending on depth on ledges, bluffs and submerged structure in either tenn shad or chart/black back rattle or no rattle? I dunno depends on how pressured the lake is

wife went into khols and I went into dicks...left with 3 packs of sweet beavers in hematoma, cali 420 and tramp stamp, and a few packs of shellcrackers

that flashking wobbler will slay lake trout!

a nice swift sweep. no need to give em a concusion like when jig fishin
