  1. Most of my spinnerbaits come from G&G Bait Company.
  2. Not to beat a dead horse but NDYakAngler has some great videos. I am just getting into smallmouth but for large mouth I like jig n craw and spinnerbaits.
  3. I have a few rods over 7 but most are between 6'3" and 6'7" river fishing limits length. If I was on lakes or ocean might be different.
  4. I fish spinnerbaits similar to squarebills. Around timber, rocks, docks, and weed edges. Also heavier spinnerbaits for deep ledges. I like the baits at Seibert Outdoors, Premier League Lures, and G&G bait company.
  5. The different colors are amazing. Through different conversations I've settled on the brush and football jigs in the dredge series. Swim jigs and the finesse have also made their way into the box.
  6. I like the Rapala XRAP 10 but going smaller wouldn't hurt. I would say more importantly is that they suspended or drop slowly.
  7. X2 For swimjigs and spinnerbaits go with chartreuse shad
  8. Welcome from West Lafayette! What bodies of water do you generally fish?
  9. I have an old 6'6" Daiwa Exceler Medium Fast that I really like for squarebills. Has more of a moderate fast tip IMO.
  10. I've had success with jig & craw presentations, T-rig with a brush hawg, purple&silver and chartreuse&white spinnerbaits, and swimjigs.

  12. Just reiterating what others have said: Regular PP or Suffix 883 in 30# or greater.
  13. Labeling is all that I know of. Biggest difference in they offer small diameters in the "ice braid"
  14. Size/types of baits will determine rods needed. Panfish on a UL, Walleye on a ML, and Pike on a M or MH. But all 3 can be caught on any rod.
  15. Fenwick rods are nice. I ice fish a lot and have switched to Tuned up Custom rods. 500/1000 series spinning reels are fine. What species are you going for?
  16. For the panfish I would suggest live minnows.
  17. 1/4 oz chartreuse and white with nickel blades from G&G Spinnerbaits.
  18. Chartreuse and white spinnerbaits, shallow crankbaits and poppers or buzzbaits.
  19. Generally I look for weed beds or rock piles around the 10' range near deeper water. Cast to shallow.
