  1. The feeder Creek into my local lake is pumping in cold water. 5 degrees colder than further down the lake. Fish coves and creeks if rains have been warm...If not find warmer water and pitch black blue jigs into flooded cover.
  2. I did it right. Still doesn't stop the occasional springing.
  3. The bug has ribs and has slimmer profile.
  4. I do need some more of your gear...
  5. I see the bug is listed at 3 inches Dbomb are 4. Is the bug undersized for a purpose?
  6. They are available for pre order at tw!
  7. It's 15 and 16 pound. 16 is sniper 15 is invizx on baitcasters. The sniper is much better than invizx...but the one overrun I had I had to take it all the way to backing and spray kvd on it every few cranks. Ruined cast and my lil boat drifted into good cover. Seems much easier and better casting to go with just a fluoro leader. So I need to grab an empty spool and put line back on? Just got the sniper...Hate to lose 100 yards of it.
  8. After recent fishing trip...I became frustrated with fluoro. I used kvd conditioner the day before but it only helped a tad. I didn't get many overruns but the few I did I had to strip down to my mono backing as the fluoro kept springing out the further I went. My question is...If I go all braid then how can I save my fluoro already on it for leaders?
  9. I've lost fish using moderate fast action as it gives too much. X fast keeps them pinned...but in reality my fish fighting style probably favors xfast.
  10. I spooled some Sunline sniper yesterday...so supple compared to invizx
  11. How are yall doing in bass or flw? I started red hot in bass until table rock. This week on dardanelle is a killer. All my anglers did well on day one and 4 of them choked day 2 by hauling in less than 9 pounds each. Howell is only one helping me. At one point I was in the 99% for BASS. ..now I'm 80... FLW is hard too...so many anglers to buy...I've learned to spread by cash more evenly with about 5 solid anglers. Blowing your salary cap on one angler is incredibly risky as he practically has to win the event for it be worth the cost.
  12. No red label? Don't care for invizx...lots of memory in 16 pound I have spooled
  13. Space monkey...that funky monkey. If you count beavers then the dbomb.
  14. I'd take the record. My spot already had 2 state records...just not real pressured.
  15. That passes me off blue. Animal cruelty.
  16. Lane was flipping thick lillypads all tournament. Braid isn't as visible in all that cover.
  17. I fish my scatter rap for first time this evening. Just seemed to pull through the water. Little vibration or wobble and just drifted.
  18. My 12 pound cxx copolymer is easily my worst line on my setups....more unmanageable than my 15 pound invizx fluoro and is less abrasion resistant!
  19. Tie your knots slow n wet. I've never had an issue outside some backlash due to me not being careful.
  20. Wow
  21. My dad just got one yesterday! Pumped up to try it out soon.
  22. Compare Seibert price and quality to any jigs on market and it will beat it in both categories. The different options and colors is ridiculous...I'm sure the number of combos possible is in the tens of thousands if not higher.
  23. I think he meant his wife thinks it's stupid he bought two of the same lure...but he justifies by saying they are two different colors. Like when a woman brings two pairs of high heels home and says "but the one has sparkles!"
  24. That is the consensus of most of the fisherman I've talked to on my little local lake/pond. Big musky in the lake and everyone complains that they eat the stock trout and bass. Someone supposedly even snagged one and gutted 3 trout out of it (and heaven forbid one was a golden rainbow). Everyone threatens to throw em on the bank or cut their heads off and they "jest don't git" why they were put in.... Like a small lake full of tiny bluegill and trout belly up in summer is a good idea...what should I do...call dnr if I see someone killing one?
