What Are Some Cheaper Plastics That Are Effective For You?
Zoom and havoc. Zoom I own all the styles and sizes in at least two colors each. I have as many as 19 colors in one style (6" lizard) . I still prefer Go 2 Baits products though. Havoc, some are great, some are horrible. I will tell about the ones I have tried. Pit boss- Great flapping action, durable, great color choices. I like them. Rocket craw- Great action, good color choices. Reminds me of a zoom uv speed craw, just not as bulky. Bottom Hopper and Bottom Hopper jr.- Good finesse worm. I don't fish them on a shaky because I fish Go 2s. Reminds me of a trick worm that floats. Grass Pig- Great action. My favorite cheap swimbait. Notice I said cheap Juice worm- Good worm. More durable than a zoom ribbon tail worm. Wish they made them in the 10-11 inch range too. Hawk hawg- Great action. More action than a brush hog. It "glides" better that a brush hog. In between a baby brush hog size and a brush hog size. I like them on a carolina rig because they float and they have that gliding action. Wide load- Don't buy it. It have absolutely no action, it was terrible. Don't know why they still have that bait still in the havoc line.

Can You Fish A Frog With An Umbrella Rig Rod?
I was planning on buying a skeet reese micro guide 7' 5" umbrella rig rod. Can this also be my flipping stick and frog rod? Thanks for all the help everyone!

Youth Tournaments
I searched for two years before I found one. It would have been easier if I would have had a boat. I would suggest starting a club yourself if you have a boat. Here in Tennessee you only have to have 6 guys for a club.

Good Light Fishing Line
I like xps flurocarbon. I would not consider 6-8 light though I use 2 pound for bluegill and trout. 4 pound for crappie.

Will Heat Effect Breaking Strength
It is c21. I fish tournaments every weekend now and the line is only $5 so I will definitely replace it. Probably go with fluroclear. I love fluroclear. Casts a mile and super easy handling.

Plum Colored Baits
Is it just me or is this bait the most effective color on worms, but not as effective on any other styles of baits? Hard to beat a plum ol' monster.

Fish Aren't Biting Anything!
If they are there they will bite a finesse worm.

Will Heat Effect Breaking Strength
I put a spool of pline in one of my boats compartments and we had to get the boat worked on. I forgot to take it out last summer before it got worked on. It baked in the compartment for two months before we got it back. Is the line still usable, or should I just trash it?

Micro Guide Repair
I broke one of my micro guides off tonight somehow on my academy ethos micro rod. Is the rod salvagable? How much would it cost to fix it? I don't know a lot about it, so anything would be appreciated.

Best Day On The Water?
From the bank probably 17 bass in 2 hours. Gave me a ton of confidence in a fluke though.

New Believer
In the finesse worm split shot rig combo. It saved my day. I got 4 ones on it and two on a spinnerbait. A deadly combo. I used a Go 2 Baits 4.5 inch shaky worm in green pumpkin.
