Rage tail baits
Chunks Craws Menace Bug I have better luck with Zoom worm baits than the Rage Tail, and I love my Rage Tail baits. Maybe it's a confidence thing.

B. O. A. T. (Bring out another thousand - boat owners support thread)
Unless insurance covers rust. It's an 2007 Stratos square tubed framed trailer.... It's all rusted to pooh, from the inside out. I don't trust towing it further than my local lakes. I want to hit the Finger Lakes later this summer and that's an 4 hour drive, I rather be safe than sorry.

Summer gloves?
after 2 pairs of Glacier Gloves flew out of my boat towing it home, I prefer the cheaper priced KastKings. They fit really nice.

Minn Kota hinge pin crawling
Have the same issue on my Maxxum Pro 80, problem with mine is when the holes are worn out on the lower arm I cant replace it because they don't make them anymore. I refreshed all the other pivot points though.

What do you bank fishing guys do to help with ticks.
Deep Woods Off all over. Just makes sure you rinse hands in the water to get the crap from getting on your baits.

A Garmin 73cv Echomap Plus, replaced all the black rubber footing on the boat with Seadek, refreshing the Maxxum Pro 80 (the more I open it up the more I need to replace) About 7 hundy in so far.

Truck/boat colors
Boat is red and white, and my F150 is black... I don't care as long as it tows me to the lake.

Latest Catch Pics Thread
Forgot about this one. This happened last Sunday at a reservoir that's only open to fishing 5 days in the summer, and these days are broken up thru the whole summer. So you figure you'll be catching non stop no matter what you throw... right? Well not this guy. In between casting, I had to deal with this kid getting his baits stuck in trees and untangling birds nests out of his reel. So yeah he was catching while I was fixing... To make it worse my buddy and his girl caught 6 between them. Anywho I'm glad my kid was catching, and that's all that matters. Just look At him, with his "Let me rub it in my dad's face" grin...

Latest Catch Pics Thread
Only one "caught" at a new to me lake. Banks were littered with lily pads and some type of grass. Nothing was hitting the frog, jig so decided to Texas rig and peg a GP Zoom Magnum Trick Worm (my new fave bait) and dropping it thru the pads and grass, had about 3 takers, but were small and not inhaling the whole worm ... Anywho, this guy blasted thru the pads 3 times trying to eat it, once I finally dragged the magnum trick worm into an opening he scarfed it. Was pretty intense to say the least.

Can someone recommend a good coupler trailer and hitch lock?
I wish mine fit in the garage.

Quick Release Electric Motor Bow Mounts
Mine is great, I don't trust nobody so I bought it for security reasons. It also comes in handy when I put on my boat cover. My TM is the MK Maxxum 80 so it's a little heavy, so that might be the only drawback.

Can someone recommend a good coupler trailer and hitch lock?
When the boat is parked at the house I use a coupler lock, I fold the trailer tongue and wrap a fat chain and Masterlock around the trailer frame and tongue, then I have a 6 foot Masterlock cable and Masterlock running thru one of the wheels around the leaf spring and then thru the wheel again. Me paranoid... Nah. Anywho I use these, https://www.homedepot.com/p/Reese-Towpower-Dual-Bent-Pin-with-Coupler-Lock-7006100/202282293

Choppo vs. Whopper Plopper
See where the tail meets the main body, that rounded edged piece. That's supposed to make the veg flow around the joint instead of into it.

Jig?
BK/BL Jig and Blue Craw trailer unless water is murky I'll run a BK/BL trailer, Blue Craw Jig and Blue Craw Trailer, Brown Jig and Blue Craw Trailer. I watched an episode of Timmy Horton Outdoors and he mentions he always likes using a Green Pumpkin trailer on whatever color Jig hes throwing. Helped me cut down on what colors to carry for sure.

Lily Pads.......
Yep, just this past friday I couldn't get a frog bite in the pads changed up to Zoom trick worm (I know not a Senko, but the same concept) pegged with a 1/8 oz tungsten bullet weight, and finessing it up and over the pads was the ticket. My son did the same thing, and caught his 3lbr. Seemed like they wanted it slow that day.
