  1. Scott F's post in Do you ever fish with a lure that has no hooks ? I do under certain conditions. was marked as the answer   
    I fished with a guide in Canada for pike and the guide was throwing a Moss Boss plastic spoon with no hook. He’d throw it deep up into the reeds where the pike were hiding. The pike would follow the lure out of the reeds. With no hook, the lure wouldn’t hang up. Once the pike were out in the open, they were much easier to catch with lures that did have hooks.
    Learning tricks like this is just another reason to hire a guide.

  3. Scott F's post in St.Croix Mojo Bass? was marked as the answer   
    You can see the date of manufacture by the serial #. 
    The first letter of the serial number stands for the year: 
    A = 2001; B = 2002; C = 2003; D = 2004; E = 2005; F = 2006; G = 2007; and so on. 
    The second letter of the Serial Number stands for the month: 
    A = Jan; B = Feb; C = Mar; D = Apr; E = May; F = Jun; 
    G = Jul: H = Aug; I = Sep; J = Oct; K = Nov; L = Dec 
    The remaining numbers are for St. Croix's internal use.
  4. Scott F's post in Minimalist Fishing was marked as the answer   
    If I’m a minimalist, I’m only taking one rod,  a few EWG hooks, a bag of Senkos and a few Ned rigs. I don’t even need an average sized fanny pack. My stuff will fit in a pocket.

    If he was fighting a fish at the time, it's called back reeling. In the "old" days, spinning reels did not always have very dependable drag systems so guys would flip the anti reverse switch and control the fish by letting line out turning the handle backward as needed. Those who got used to fighting fish that way still do it even though the drags are much better on modern spinning reels.
  7. Scott F's post in Storing Soft Plastics In Plano Boxes was marked as the answer   
    I've been keeping all my plastics in Plano utility boxes for 20 plus years. None of the boxes have shown any discoloration, and none of the plastics have ever dried up. If I mix colors  of baits in the same compartment, they have been known to blend together to form a new color, but the box doesn't change. Years ago, the plastic some tackle boxes were made of was different and some would melt when you put soft plastic baits in them, but the Plano utility boxes have never melted or been damaged.
