Hey Raul, are you talkin about abrasion resistance? Why would thinner line be greater? Thanks

Looking for some thoughts from folks who have dropped down in line size. What are some of the advantages? I know less drag will allow cranks to dive deeper, but does the less drag increase sensitivity on deep jigs/plastics? Do you get more bites? Thanks. I am thinking about going down to 12lb for my jig/plastics from 15/17.

McCoy Copolymer 8 or 10lb.

Blk/blue, brown/orange, green

Which Megastike are you guys using?

I like white, easy for line watching. I also use a green/brown marker for the last few feet. But I think that's more for me than the fish. I don't think they care.

Painting bedrooms, lol.

Yup, got at least one left and haven't thrown it in a while.

50 lb Braid or 17 lb Mccoy copolymer for pitching for me. Both are low memory which I like for pitching. Now, I think I will go back to fluoro when fishing deep open water. Just my two cents, and probably worth less than that.

What about a spoonplug? Anybody still use them?

Welcome, I'm from KY myself. What lakes are you close to?

Unless they started reading fishing articles, lol.

I stopped in a local bait store today and the man asks how he can help. I ask where are the tubes. He asks for crappie... I say Bass. He says "I dont have many..... those are out of favor right now." I'm hoping he meant with anglers and not the bass, lol. I bought a bag of neon Black and headed out, but it made me wonder though. Why do successful lures fall out of favor with anglers? What are some ones you've seen come and go?

Both of mine were also unsecured in the big triangular boxes. Luckily everything was ok. That's the worst packing job I've ever seen.

Google "Stupid Rig Tube" and you'll find a way to rig tubes with a jighead (to get that spiral fall) and keep it weedless. Best of both worlds. I think I saw it mentioned on another thread here. I haven't tried it yet but will as soon as I can get out.

Jig or tube.... But oddly a lipless crankbait has produced for me in water temps in the 40s.

Slow down Brushhogs Jigs with pork or Senko trailer

Mccoy

Cedar Creek is a small lake about 50 miles south of Lexington. Your best bet this time of year would be sticking with Dale this time of year. There is another system coming through here tonight or early AM with more ice on the way.

Awesome deal.. thanks for sharing.

Mccoy in the blue fluorescent is my fav and Ive tried a bunch of them. Low memory.. strong.

I had a lot of success with Berkleys Power Hawg this year. Texas or Carolina rig. Mostly Texas. Once the head rips too much, I cut it down and throw it on a jig.

I don't think the cost justifies the advantages. I use Copolymer for spinnerbaits.

Great game, maybe one of the best ever.
