Montanaro

fluoro sinks...making your lure drop slightly more realistic (in heavy cover like those lily pads in your picture, the fluoro will get caught on the pads so sink rate is really no different from braid). It's also hard to see under water, so it's good around sparse cover. If you watch for nicks in your line, you won't have a problem around timber. fishing in heavy weeds though...go braid as it will cut through better and give a better hookset.

They use mustads. I really like my revenge swimjigs and have never had one straighten out (yet). I'll probably buy a couple packs...

Anyone have these crankbaits? They have been reviewed well by tackletour and are priced well. The color options are very nice. What quality can be expected for R2S trebles?

i watched video of swaver and its swimming action doesnt appear to be as good.

i didnt care much for the bluegill color. baby bass looks most realistic.

Just saw these on the retailer to not be named. Pretty good price and they look pretty cool on their videos. Anyone ever use one or know much about them? Might be a christmas present for the bait monkey from me.

as stated, VMC offset shank's have 3* hook offset. It could help, give it a shot, they are cheap.

take some out and fry em up with a little bit of onion and garlic! yum!

different hook for different techniques. straight shank for heavy cover (really can use them anytime). snell knot helps hook them in meeaty part of upper mouth and keeps them on in cover. offset shank for regular texas rigging. offset increases hookups since hook is exposed more. extra wide gap for thicker bodied baits and swim baits. the ewg provides more room for the plastic to get it out of the way of hooksets. putting these thick baits on an offset and the plastic may ball up and you only set hook up to the barb and lose your fish.

i got some in the freezer. cant wait to thaw em

they have a logo printed on them so you dont resell...and you have to buy hooks

caught pb smallie on a motoroil one on a jighead.

no. ive been on a LOT of forums...chat feature is either abused and useless or completely neglected. Its not as cool and useful as some think

they ride in the cab. not going to risk em bouncing and getting rash

anyone use them in streams.and rivers? thinking of trying a bitsy strike king in brown ir crawdad too

anyone use a fuse 4.4? i tried it yesterday for a few minutes

plenty of reviews.available from various retailers you can.read. i dont know.much about them though

lews

im starting to lean towards these boats. how hard is it for one to put it in the back of a truck? it takes my dad and i to put his coleman crawdad in his truck. how well can you stand and fish? i can hardly fish sitting down which is why im ruling out most kayaks.

id rather have a lexa.than ballistic. the cielo rods are like 40% off

i wear pants...sometimes.

worn seats that you wont be sittting in is the major issue? lol sounds like a no brainer.

daiwa make good rods in that price.range

title of thread and content are different. what brand, what actions...i assume brand...i dont have many rods but i have abu daiwa and will get *** soon. my preferred so far is daiwa

color isnt my main fishinv factor. but it is a factor. i punched a hole for 30 plus minutes with a dbomb in junebug without a strike. i switched to two tone candy grass and it was on! same hole same presentation but slightly different color.
