I almost feel like I'm cheating when I use a senko. I found a spot last year under a shade tree on a pressured lake where I was pulling decent sized large mouths out one right after the other on a weightless senko. One guy came over and said he didn't even know there were fish that big in the lake.

This method works for me.

DSG had buy one get one 50% off so I grabbed some red eye shad in 4 different colors and some rage tails. Also picked up some jigs and a couple smithwick rogues.

10 lb mono is the line. I know this line is fine because I caught several nice sized bass last year using it with weightless senkos. The jig was a Luck E Strike I picked up at wally world to get me started. The couple lakes I fish have lots of weeds. I use a polymer knot. As far as the people saying I gave up too easily I am not giving up trying to learn I just had to quit for the day today because I lost the only jig I had.

Not looking to fish anything too heavy (3/8 at most). I don't know the first thing about braid or fluoro as I've only ever fished with mono.

I'm not giving up by any means. Just not a good start to the process.

First day I was using some cheap spincast combo I bought when I first started fishing because someone told me it was good for those starting out (BIG MISTAKE). Today I had it tied on my 6'6 MH BPS Bionic Blade with BPS Pro Qualifier spinner with Trilene XL mono line.

Hoping to learn to fish with a jig this year. Also hoping to become better with a spinnerbait. I've never had so much as a bite on one.

I've never fished a jig before and I decided I wanted to give it a try this year so I went out and bought a couple of jigs. The other day I went out and after switching to the jig I managed to get a knot in the line that had to be cut out on only the third cast. Today I decided to go out and give it another try. After getting hung up on something on the bottom I didn't think to check my knot for some reason. On the next cast I lost the jig. Starting to think these may be omens that jig fishing is not for me.

Hey guys, Been lurking here looking at all the great info here and decided it was time to join. I'm 30 years old and have fished on and off for as long as I can remember but have decided in the past year to really get into it. Looking forward to getting to know everybody here.
