A man after my own heart!

At the risk of sounding like a jerk (which I am not trying to be) Read up on the articles and old posts on this site. That will help a ton. Shoot, google "bass jig tips" and spend the next ten years of your life reading up on it. A topic as broad as yours is tough for most people to answer without typing forever. Here is my super short jig help Clear water- brown/orange 1/4 Skinny Bear with GYCB Fat Baby Craw Pumpkin or GYCB twin tail grub Muddy Water- black/blue 3/8 with a bulky trailer. chunk or the like

Too cool robert. Is that the private lake by elk grove? or down your way?

I voted for SA, my A1 is one of my favorite guns. But BERETTA is my all time favorite. Yeah... i'm a shotgun junkie.

*cough*clearlake*cough

avid, you buzz kill

I wonder if you have to pay for it with singles...

I haven't tried it. If it is like any of the other G-strings I have handled, I'm a fan .

Someone I know blanked.... : WONDER WHO THAT WAS! Ya big loser!

Right now my favorite is a Powell 704 with a Chronarch 100B.

Went out on saturday with one of my buddies that I don't get to fish with much. Water was super clear, you could spot fish on bottom in 15+ feet. Water was about 54 degrees. Bluebird skies, about 70 degrees which is downright hot for this time of year in my area. My buddy justin wanted to swimbait and I decided to worm and jig all day. There was a 20 boat tournament on the lake. First spot I pulled up to already had a boat on it. I gave him plenty of room, 100+yards. I busted out the dart head while my buddy tied up. The other guy immediately motored across the area and picked up his swim bait rod. Threw a bait 20 feet off my bow >. Being the more mature one, I grabbed MY swimbait rod and threw a 6 ounce bait at him. My thumb clamped down at the end of the cast and dropped the bait 3 feet off his trolling motor, even splashed up on him . He then left and I went back to worming, that was the last time I picked up the swimbait rig all day. Saw a few fish in about 12 FOW but they were neither real spooky nor interested in any of my presentations. Fished a few more spots without a take on either my dart head or justin's swimbait. Made the four-ish mile run to another offshore spot and anchored up. I soon switched to a drop shot and justin to a 1/4oz finesse jig with twin tail trailer. After about an hour of extremely slow and methodical d-shotting I was shocked to hook up on a fish. Not a total dink, 1 3/4 ish pound largemouth. Stayed anchored for not another bite in the next hour and a half. Finally pulled up and made a short move to a steep rock wall with large rock on it. Picked up a nice little smallie about the same size as my first fish. No ore bites for awhile so I drove around with the graph on and found a sweet spot that I didn't know about and marked fish on it. Threw back on one of the arches and nailed this pretty little 2 pound smallie. Fished till dusk for a couple more bites with no more landed. It was painfully slow but I had a good time. 10 of the 20 tournament boats blanked and there was only one limit weighed in, so I felt like I did pretty good. Hopefully the bite will get going on our lakes soon. Right now the Cal Delta is hot. One tournament took 41 pounds to win this weekend. So hopefully I will be able to call in sick and go get on some river fish this week

I like a real big colorado or thumper blade. I don't know what is considered "normal" but that is what i like. Man that bite can be fun when you get on it real good!

yes it is, all pound classes that I have checked are the exact same between the evolution and premium.

I would like to get down to texas, but my bank account wouldn't allow it and I wouldn't want to leave our big fish for those dinks down there at fork! LOL. Maybe next year I could figure out how to make it. Or........BassResource.com roadtrip to CLEARLAKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I have Evolution on my swimbait rods in 30lb, on one of my jig rods in 15, and on my M spinning rod in 10 for light jigs and dart heads. It is an awesome line.

I have been using it in 8lb on my drop shot rod for the last few weeks. I like it. As stated it has a pretty smal diameter. It doesn't handle great, but it is pure flourocarbon so that is to be expected, and it handles better than any pure flouro i have used, which isnt many. Seems to be fairly strong. Don't have any real complaints, but im not as stoked on it as I am the Evolution, big-bass, you'll like it!

Some of us (me) just don't give a crap.

I don't know what comes with a Ranger, if they are Trojans or Optimas, keep em, you've got the best.

Tackle Tour = product wh@res Those guys are not "unbiased" they are "buy us"

I caught fish on the originals, but the components are pretty crappy. I am now using a custom built bait.

Buy yourself a new Chronarch

Nice squid dude! I've wanted to go after them, I guess they've been getting them pretty good up north here the last couple years.

Sounds like your trip is about the same as my YEAR fish!

and her dentures

AND she got me a Powell 702 ML Spinning rod for valentines day!
