I fish and like both. If I only could carry one it would be the smaller.

What he said. I like black with gold, black with gold, black with gold, and white.

Weighted T-rig mostly

A big worm by Zoom in watermelon or any number of creature baits.

Anyone have much experience with this bait? Looks like a good creature bait.

Skirted Jig & Trailer and Spinnerbaits are my go to baits. So I would fall under hard baits. I feel those 2 baits can be fished under many different circumstances. That being said I am starting to get into flipping and pitching so I am toeing the line.

1. A role cast is better for skipping IMO. If you are lacking distance practice in the yard or living room hitting a target. Might need to adjust the brakes. If I am strictly pitching/flipping my brakes are off. 2. If you are starting that shallow you shouldn't need to strip of much line if any. Starting that shallow I would work the jig back to me keeping bottom contact. 3. The swimjig is fine but probably not the best jig style. Staying with Siebert i would suggest an Arki for skipping, Football for rocks, and Brush for weLloyd brush.

Didn't see this till now. I have mostly the 200. For the 200s I generally spool with 15# PowePro Super Slick on ML XF rods. Used for wacky, drop shot, shaky head and small crankbaits/spinnerbaits for crappies. I think the 100 would work great for this last application.

St. Croix 7'0" ML/XF Eyecon with a Lews 200 Speed spin.

I haven't noticed it in my applications.

1/4 oz from G&G Bait Company.

I really liked it as leader material. It was good as main line with crankbaits and just ok as main line for jigs. I didn't treat it at all and got a good bit of memory.

I always here of guys using them on shaky head.

RI Skinny Dipper or Berkley Grass Pig mostly. Occasionally I'll throw a Net Bait Paca Chunk.

Another vote for the Alberto

I like 7.1 for fishing shallow. Almost like a wake bait. Everything else is quite 6.4

I generally fish 1/4 oz spinnerbaits. I like a medium fast in 6'6" or 6'10".

I have a few baits that are in rotation from May through October. Spinnerbait and Jig with craw are always tied on. I will rotate between swimjig, squarebills, buzzbait and frog.

I generally cast to shallow cover so very little drop.

Before I have used 50# Power Pro with 15-20# Seaguar Red Label. I connect with an Alberto Knot. This year I tried straight Fluorocarbon with mixed results. Might go back to braid due to less line maintenance.

Spinnerbait for me.
