I noticed that the video was from 2011. I wonder if it is even available now?

The area was undoubtedly void of bass! ?

I think you’re exaggerating! ?

I fish all of the above on my Bass X MH F 7’-1” rod with 17lb. Flouro or my Carbonlite 2.0 MH F rod with 15lb. Flouro, depending on the cover. Both rods handle these baits well.

A micro power pole may help?

Another close one going into Day 4 - Championship Sunday! Should be a fun one to watch!

My picks…

Braid or mono would be the way to go.

Nice!

This was a fun one to watch! Couldn’t have been much closer! Combs made a heck of a run on day 4! Got to love it!

More importantly, how did it work?

Holy smokes!!

I was going through some of my old lire’s and ran across a box that was packed away a long time ago. In it Imfound about a dozen jars of Uncle Josh Pork Frogs in various sizes and colors. Some of the lids are rusted and I can see the rust has migrated down the bottle a bit on the inside. I'd like to clean that up and add some new water to these. From what I can research the liquid is water and salt. I’m assuming that I can use some distilled water and salt dissolved before adding back into the jar. is this correct?

i still have some of these from back in the day!

Just curious, what’s your toad of choice?

Some of my personal favorites over the years, in no particular order: Mann's Augertail Worm in electric grape! Use to love throwing that worm! Spinnerbait (The Terminator T-1 was a long time favorite). Berkley 7” Power Worm Rebel Pop-R Rebel Wee Frog and Wee Crawfish Rage Bug Rage Craw Missile Baits D-Bomb Hollow Body Frog! Rapala Shad Rap Rapala Original Floating Jerk Bait Swim Jig Buzz Toad Cotton Cordell Red Fin Rooster Tail Spinner Beetle Spin Blakemore Road Runner

I’m not going to throw the baby out with the bath water over it but, I just don’t like it, as I stated above. At least with the electronics they have to interpret what they see and present the bait without the advantage on staring right at the fish.

What's with this flogging crap?! I don’t like it! I think it cheapens the event!

I ran across this guys channel on YouTube. Some of these lures bring back memories!

Congrats!!

Justin Kerr used this hand carved, custom Rat during the Bassmaster Classic. I’ve always been interested in these rat baits but, living here in the north I don’t know if they’re practical. How many of you northern bass anglers throw a rat and catch fish?

A lot of good suggestions already mentioned. A new lire for me this year is the Berkley Bullet Pop in the 70 and 80 size. It’s producing very well for me thus far.

My favorite setups for worms and jigs are the following: Shimano SLX DC 7.2:1 reel with a 7’-1” St. Croix Bass X MHF rod. 17lb. Flouro line. Shimano SLX DC 6.3:1 reel with a 7’ Bass Pro Carbon Lite 2.0 MHF rod. 15lb. Fluoro line.

And I thought I was the only one that did that! LOL!
