I have more than one. 1. Squarebills 2. Senko 3. Beavers 4. Tubes

I really want to start throwing big glide baits/swimbaits...along with everyone else lol I bought some good ones last year, but just didn't get a chance to use them as much as needed. I need a swimbait setup to start. I know there are not many, if any at all, throwing big swimbaits in WV. I'd like to get on it before they do!

I used to use the uni to uni knot, now using Alberto knot. I like the Alberto more because I feel it slides through guides better and I can have it tied in less than a minute.I have started messing with the FG knot here lately with great results so far. I think once I learn to tie it faster I may switch to it.

Haha

Haha looks like American Legacy is out already. No good.

I don't think the new SV spool has been confirmed as fitting the OG...or have I missed a post? I thought it was just speculation at this point...

d**n son you've gone all out! How are you liking the LTD?

Wow, thanks for taking the time to explain the basics!

I haven't figured out how to fish my small 1200 acre lakes effectively! There are only a couple ramps per lake, a couple roads or bridge crossings, and steep bushy hills everywhere. Its pretty darn frustrating without a boat. Better off to fish the smaller bodies of water.

Seems like most can agree on wool gloves. I've been wanting to buy the Simms Pro gloves for awhile now. $100, but that includes two gloves I believe...the outer glove is for the boat ride. I like the ones A-jay posted too.

I've heard or read of people doing it. Give it a shot, it sounds good!

A lot of lures will work, but there are sometimes those dang fish are picky about the size. There has been many times I've been there and thrown spooks, flukes, pop r, and they wanted a tiny 2" swing impact reeled super fast. I guess sometimes it just depends on what size bait they're chasing.

Daiwa fixed the grooving issue I believe, but yes like he said, get the Alphas SV. Does he have a price range?

I sold my LTD and the next day grabbed this one after i regretted putting the LTD up for sale. Hate the knobs, but that's an easy fix! Oh and got a heck of a deal on it too!!

I use the Dobyns 705cbmf glass and I really like it for squarebills. It's a little heavier than I'm use to, but it gets the job done. Does a very good job at keeping fish hooked. Have you had a chance to fish with any of the ones you're interested in?
