Snaps & Crankbaits
Last tournament I wasted probably at least 10 minutes switching out crankbaits. Probably buy some spro snaps before next tourny.

Rage Shellcracker Hooks
Doesn't matter which way you rig it unless you are swimming it or in regards to hooksets. I'D go with EWG just to give it room to collapse. 4 or 5 /0 work well.

What's Your Favorite Type And Brand Of Weight For Dropshotting?
Banana shape are good in that they increase surface area touching ground compared to pencil. This transmits more to your rod. Same applies to tear drop. Also banana lays on top of grass more than sliding down through like a pencil.

Dang philly. After day one you are sitting pretty. My squad is weak. Luckily only a couple pounds separate my guys from the cut

What About Rod Length
Rod length effects accuracy distance and leverage. Short rods are more accurate and good in tight spots. Longer rods can get good leverage on a crankbait and wing it a mile. But it's harder to pinpoint your casts. Longer rods are also good for pitching and flipping as you can reach further towards your target making less splash and being more accurate. Short rods are good for techniques where you work slack like jerkbaits and topwater. Short rod won't slap the water surface. Longer spinning rods can be used for dropshot as you can reach them further from boat when video game fishing.

Let's Talk Fantasy Lineup For Lake Havasu!
A. Zaldain: Consistent and experienced in finesse and swimbaits. Coming off strong showing. 1% B. Faircloth: Consistent and well rounded angler. Almost won angler of year last year and should be pushing for bucket a. 8% C. Brett Hite: He is my bread and butter. Bucket C? Not for long. Forget the talk about him being a grass fisherman, did you watch him in the classic? Dude can finesse and outfish most of bucket B AND C. High ownership, mostly from sheep who see AZ under his name. 58% but dropping D. K Short: Good all around fisherman who should be in bucket b or c. Has good success in clear deep water torunaments. 5% E. Hawk: Another angler who should be a bucket or 2 ahead. Has experience out west and is good finesse and swimbaiter. His ownership would be higher if more people knew he was from the west and didn't have bama under his name. 10%

Yeah maybe, saw that other thread after posting this one. I just never had it happen before.

Let's Talk Fantasy Lineup For The Sacramento River
I'm in 90%. Last year was in 98% half of year then collapsed. Zaldain had crazy bonus points and Powroznik salvaged a lot of points. Had Lindtner and Bhite made at least top 50 (25 was expected of these two) I would be sitting pretty.

Help: Tatula Spool Disengaging
I've noticed the last couple trips that randomly when bow and arrowing crankbaits free from snags, the spool will disengage for a second and give me a backlash. The handle will then feel looser or less connected to the gears. Any ideas?

They do add dates to reviews. Just not old reviews

Best Rod Action For Chatterbait (& Spinnerbait)
I used a rage blade with a moderate fast action rod with sunline reaction fc tonight. Caught two hogs, one being a personal best. Both were hooked SOLID in roof of mouth after engulfing bait. Using my xfast 13 *** with braid last year had me hooking fish in lips and skin. I'm a believer in slower actions now, for sure!

Duo Realis Pencil- My New Confidence Bait?
I have ivory halo. Has flash but also enough pearl to use in sun or clouds.

Duo Realis Pencil- My New Confidence Bait?
What do you deem significant? Weight transfer system, unique sound, great colors, and a ball on front that sprays water.

Let's Talk Fantasy Lineup For The Sacramento River
Zaldain is killing it for me. Powroznik is set to make cut and he's always capable of a large bag. BHite, Stephen Browning and Lintner are also capable of huge bags to make cut. I don't anticipate browning making it though despite 2 top 10 finishes at the delta.
