I never bought the tool, I made my own with a thick crayola marker hollowed out with small rubber bands I have from braces instead of o-rings, and the whole thing works great and is completely free

1. Honestly for this question I'm not really sure but I would prefer the rage craw just because I like them better than the chigger craws just because I prefer the rage craw in general. 2. I currently have never used the sweet beaver but have experience with the pit boss. The pit boss is great and the bass hammer them, and the sweet beaver is just like the pit boss just with different appendages however as I'm sure you know one day they will destroy one over the other but in my opinion they are equal, but you should probably take that with a grain on salt since ive never even used the sweet beaver.

If it were me I would throw jigs in the rocks and I would crank around the sunken tree with sunfish colored cranks, as well as square bills to deflect off of the tree.

Yes, I am referring to the rock wall, however if there are rocks in the middle you could try throwing craws or jigs and just slowly dragging then along the bottom, but I'm not quite sure what cover is in the river?

Since there is that house on the water where you fish, it's perfect for throwing jigs and flipping and pitching along the supports where the fish will be. You also have the wall to cast along to, and in the warmer months you can swim jigs and run cranks along the wall for strikes. I have a similar wall where I fish and we always do well on cranks and swim jigs, as well as t-rigs and shaky heads

I'm sure the buzz bait one would look great if you could attach soft plastic frogs for a bit smaller presentation instead of all buzzbaits

It's a turtle

Thanks for the feedback, however I probably should have clarified this better at the beginning. I am looking more for unusual baits to try out as in my time of fishing I have learned a ton and have a good idea on reliable lures.

Hey guys, I don't know if there is already a thread on this as I checked but couldn't find anything. Anyway, I started bass fishing about a year and a half ago, and I have all the basic lures. However, I have been interested in finding different, new, and reliable lures, both hard baits and soft plastics to check out. Thanks

If it helps I would be using the rod as an all around general rod but mainly using jigs, bottom baits and flipping and pitching, while using some crankbaits. I know you can't really do everything with one rod however for now I would like the best for all around bass fishing. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice!

Hey guys I am new to the forums and was looking for some advice or experience you have had with a few baitcasting rods. I am getting my first baitcaster and already have a reel picked out however I still need a rod. Since it is my first baitcaster I don't want anything too high end, however I dont want a piece of junk either. I would be getting a 7' MH rod with a fast action. I have picked out a few baitcasters I was looking at and wanted some advice on deciding or if you have personal experience with the rod if you could share it. Below are links to the rods. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Fishing/Fishing-Rods/Casting-Rods|/pc/104793480/c/104764680/sc/104823180/Abu-Garcia174-Vengeance8482-Casting-Rod/1333916.uts?WTz_l=SBC%3BMMcat104793480%3Bcat104764680%3Bcat104823180 http://www.cabelas.com/product/Fishing/Fishing-Rods/Casting-Rods|/pc/104793480/c/104764680/sc/104823180/Shimano174-Sellus-Casting-Rods/1304125.uts?WTz_l=SBC%3BMMcat104793480%3Bcat104764680%3Bcat104823180 http://www.cabelas.com/product/Fishing/Fishing-Rods/Casting-Rods|/pc/104793480/c/104764680/sc/104823180/Daiwa-Aird-Casting-Rod/1330439.uts?WTz_l=SBC%3BMMcat104793480%3Bcat104764680%3Bcat104823180 http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Tourney-Special-Trigger-Rods/product/12041105005514/ http://www.basspro.com/Berkley-Lightning-Rod-Shock-Series-Trigger-Rods/product/104157/ With the Berkley Lightning rod I was looking at reviews and it seems like alot of people with 7' MH have had problems with the rods breaking and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem before? Thanks
