Buckeye spot removers are what I have settled in with. I used different ones and they seem to get hung less and hang onto fish better.

aren't ABECs normally only useful if you throw heavier lures or lighter lures?

Bass normally do not feed on turtles do to the hard shells damaged their mouths. On saying that, I have a pack of Bombshell Crabs that are awesome.

How come on Amazon and Ebay the Tatula is selling for around $100 brand new but MSRP is around $140 and $150. Most other reel companies are a little bit closer to MSRP than that. Is their not good resale value on Daiwas?

Bullshad is the best

crap. look up roman made swimbaits. $400+ each. I use bullshad swimbaits and they run about $60 each but they work. Use proper line and you will not lose it. Also, you guys wouldn't make good musky fisherman. Each musky lure is $20+

Since I no longer live near Bass Pro, I am thinking of canceling my credit card. The rewards are nice but shipping and the sales tax get me. Not sure if there are any other good rewards credit cards out there but I am thinking of switching to Amazon. Are there any other options that are good for fisherman? Only store in my area is Academy Sports.

I live in Alabama and fish out of a kayak. We can land them with our fish grips, unhook them and get them back in the water fairly quickly. $200 will buy you about 13 lures. good starter kit. haha

Hooked up on a musky my first trip to TN. PowerteamLure Craw Douerve on a Biffle hardhead. He came off the hook. Now I have spent $200 on musky lures and leaders the past few days. Never been addicted to something so bad.

a-rig is the best lure(s) for striper in the creeks and rivers here in Alabama. I am not ashamed to throw them.

my YakAttack Blackpak can hold 9 size 360/3600 boxes, with two additional ones under the seat of my kayak. If you need more tackle than that, you need to reconsider. haha

I will be there. short drive for me. I went a few years ago and did see some good deals but I went to spectate and look around. Not to buy things.

hahahaahha

I used cheap mono as backing for my fluoro mainly to cut down on the costs of the Flouro. it works great. I don't need much more casting distance.

I went with the Revo Toro HS. They are now discontinued recently so you can get one for about half off. Great reel.

What are your top three suggestions for catching bigger bass? 1. throw Bull Shad 2. throw Bull Shad 3. throw Bull Shad

I put Big Bite Baits Flying Squirrel on a shaky head. I use the Buckeye Spot Removers with the screw lock.

Squadron by Strike King.

UPDATE! They sent me a new pack of the trebles and also threw in a sticker and a pack of the Worm hooks that I use. They said their hooks should not look like that and they have quality control measures in place to prevent it from happening. Trokar worm hooks are the truth. My hookup ratio has increased significantly since I switched to primarily Trokar.

I think you use light line due to clear water. I have 8 lb. fluoro on my spinning rods and I would just throw it on them. I am further north in Alabama now. Neely Henry & Weiss are mudholes. Most creeks can be clear but would get hung up too much.

I would love to try this lure and presentation but it is almost impossible to find clear water in Alabama. Most of our water looks like chocolate milk. Sucks.

Mike Bucca said if the guys at Okuma love them, he loves them. I am getting two of them on my next order. I have an S-Waver and love it. Awkward on the cast but action is great. The colors of the Savage gear is much better than the S-Waver.

I just got a Savvy 766 Flip and I could lift a 50lb weight with that rod. Hahahaha

I now have 5 SX's and love them. Zero problems with backlashes or whatever. Not sure why you need two brakes. easily adjustable on the side plate and I keep it about midway and never have to tune it at all unless I switch between braid, or fluoro, etc. Check out Tackletour's review of the SX. It is the workhorse of the Revo series and I agree.

I have been contacted by Trokar. They will make it right. I do not use Rapala often but recently bought a DT-4 for .98 cents. The back hook on it has one long shaped treble.
