I'll be honest. I have confidence with everything I throw. I always expect a bite. Now if you asked what lures I use least...tube and crigs. No need for them.

no. hes aying use a swim bait hook instead of a bullet weight. The soft plastic flutters down horizontally rather than plunges nose first

My family jewels

My butt cheeks.

I bought 5 at Walmart the other day for like 4.50...and I thought I was stealing. I gotta check out dsg. xcs have some great color patterns

dieing minnows will flutter to bottom and then jolt up. Jig head mimics this but there are better ways to do it.

It'll be fine for jigs. If it were a 5 I'd say no.

Other than my 1st gen vendetta rod I picked up for 30, the only thing I was interested in was the excalibur cranks. They are getting rid of a lot of gimmicky/technique specific terminal tackle.

I'd wait to hear about the concept. 22+ lb drag potentially, large handle with large knobs. edit: I see you already have your hands on it

hows the jackall iobee? almost bought one once

haha, I do that at TW too. Gives you an idea of what you want and what you can afford

whats the appeal? They look good? does that justify the risk

there isnt much difference. The flipping weights are designed to slip into water more efficiently than bullet weights. Bullet weights are a bit off balance on the flip and can splash more.

My hands slipped on non textured reel knobs, I got reel grips and it improved my grip. I like them, but can be a pain to put on certain knobs.

Can't decide who to pick in Group A for BASS series at Lake Seminole 1a. Shaw Grigsby, has a lot of success at Lake Seminole, but hasn't seen many top 10s in the last few years 1b. Mike Iaconelli, has won at the lake before and is good in grass 2a. Aaron Martens who is on pretty good form but no success at seminole 2b. KVD, underrated by most lately with moderate success at the lake, but not on the greatest of form. I like Randy Howell a lot, but I don't see any evidence that he will capitalize with a top 10 finish.

going to the other walmart tomorrow if snow permits me. See what deals they have there

*** or daiwa team d

ill buy 2 or 3 quality proven square bills instead of one bait ball

One of the small lakes I fish has a stretch of riprap along the dam. it is steep and drops to 20 feet quickly. In summer there is a watershield growing along it about 10 feet wide. starts at 2 or so feet deep and stops around 7 or 8. How should I approach this? I seemingly have better areas to punch on the other side of lake. Should I try anyway or should I fish the outer edge? And how should I fish outer edge?

I was a teen 10 years ago. Thought I knew everything about fishing...now I know I was full of crap (and not just with fishin)

My walmart had a tub of rods. KVD quantum rods, Buccoos, speed sticks and vendettas. KVD's were all 7'11 and like 90 bucks, the bucoo micro guides were at $99. Speed sticks at 70 (many with broken guides) and 2nd generation vendettas for 65. I did find a 6'6" 1st gen vendetta for 30 bucks and I snatched that up fast! I needed a 6'6" rod and I like my 1st gen 7 foot vendetta I paid 100 for a couple years back. Also picked up some xcalbur cranks for 5 (roughly a dollar off) and a plano spinnerbait box. I'll have to check the other local walmart soon to see what they have and go back to see if the bucoos get reduced.

dt 6 will get a boost especially from that awesome video

greens and browns if you fish in mud, black if you are feeling wild, a dark purple.

Livingston is going to get a huge bump in sales
