  1. Straight 832 Camo for a couple of years with zero issues. Full disclosure - I fish mostly East Texas grass lakes.
  2. I have done this using 2 bobber stops on each side. Unless you are power shotting, setting a light wire hook will not be a problem. Now, if you get a biggun', it will slip down, but I tie my weights and do not use the crimp weights.
  3. I will add Copperstate Tackle. I visited them and The Hook Up Tackle while in Phoenix last week. My credit cards are still smoking LOL.
  4. I throw the 4 in Zoom lizard in this color on a light C-Rig. I have often referred to it as my "limit getter".
  5. I am using the Core Tackle Finesse Tush Swimbait Hook in 1/8 oz - 2/0. It adds a nice roll to the bait.
  6. I got one in my Lucky Box and visted The Hook Up Tackle in AZ this past week & grabbed a few more. These are great for fishing grass that's 2 or 3 feet below the surface. I think they will also be the ticket for fishing tree tops/brush piles that are the same depth under the surface.
  7. Nah - they don't eat big baits...
  8. People laugh at my rigs in the boat. Big swimbaits and BFS. If you want to have a blast, get you the Scooper Frog Baby by Bottom up. They are not cheap but they are elastomer and last forever. For you serious froggers, get the Magnum at 7/8 ounce!
  9. There is a guy on Facebook called Stiff Lizard Baits. He has made me some magnum jitterbugs.
  10. I wish they still made these with the sliding weight. It gave fluke type baits great action. It was called the Dangleberry Rig.
  11. I need to build a rod for small glide baits and big crankbaits. Bait range will be 1-2 ounces. Looking for something with enough tip to work the glide baits but with a moderate enough action for the treble hooks. I have swimbait rods for everything over this size, but nothing for the lower ranges.
  12. 4 inch Chartruese Pepper on a light C-Rig.
  13. Savage Gear has a Ned Salamander that gets chewed.
  14. I am so very sorry to read this. As has been said, research any and all options. We received this news for our daughter when she was 6 years old - Stage 4. We met up with some research Drs. that had an experimental but totally untested option. They warned us that the treatments would probably be worse than the Cancer. After 2 1/2 years of brutal trials, she was declared Cancer free. She is now 44 years old and very healthy. Her treatment regimen became a standard for treating her type of Cancer for others. My thoughts are with you and your family.
  15. BKK Silent Chaser . I am actually starting to use a lot of their hooks.
