Hey, Price isnt much of an issue. I heard that a ported spool would be better for what I want.

Hey Y'all, Im in the market for another new baitcaster this year. Im looking for something that could throw some Bomber Fat A's with ease. I can throw some of the smaller crankbaits decent but I want something that can really get them out there. I was looking at the Pflueger Summit. CJ

Just solve the problem by piching your barbs down when you fish with plastics. I do that and if i do gut hook a fish(rarely happens) i can pull the hook out no problem.

Hey Y'all, I purhcased a Pflurger Element today. There is no magnetic switch on the side of it and i cant figure out how to make it stop letting out so much darn line when i cast. I keep getting rat nest after rat nest. Can anyone help me please?

black is the best topwater color imo b/c it silhoettes(sp) very well.

I use flourocarbon, i dont like braided line.

was using my camera phone and it was just about pitch black. I had to brighten up the pic a ton so that you could even see me.

Yeah Im loving the Flouro. I only put flouro on my lighter rods with a little more action. On my baitcaster i have a medium heavy action rod so i keep mono on it b/c i need to stretch in the line b/c of the stout rod but on my spinning gear i put flouro b/c the rod is not as stout and i dont want the stretch in the line.

Nice Dan, You need to come up to my private 33 acre lake and go on a bass fishing Jihad with me,lol

Go buy some lures and tackle that strictly targets bass.

Ok well I now have more time to make the post better so here is the story. Well it was about 7:30pm and i just got done baby sitting this little boy we know. I got some new fishing lures the day before and i wanted to try them out so i headed down to the lake to test them. Well when i get there my neighbor is out on his boat and asks if I'd care to join him. So i said sure and i got on. We started fishing some stump fields and my neighbor pulls one out on a buzz bait. Im fishing a texas rigged weightless worm. Well i cast out an i hook into a nice 4lber or so but he decides to spit the hook. So next cast i hook into a little dink and he also spits the hook. So by now i was getting a little ticked. Well a few casts later i catch a bass and he had to be the size of a freaking anchovie(sp). Well I turn my chair around and start doing a few casts over a shallow flat that drops off to deep water where this one big tank of a bass has been sitting all year. Well after a few casts there and no luck i decide to cast once more before we move on. Well when the lure was about 10ft from the boat all of the sudden i see a dorsal fin come out of the water and a huge v-wake headed right to my worm. Well i stop reeling my worm and start to twitch it very lightly and BAM! She hits it. My lines starts peeling out and the fights on. Im using a 7ft Shakespeare Rod with a Shimano Synergy reel fishing with 10lb flourocarbon using a 3/0 red Gamigatsu Hook with a 4in Edge Worm on it. Well she starts peeling out a good bit of line so i tell my neighbor to start following her and he does. Well i finally get her to the boat and she starts shaking her head like crazy and heads to the back of the boat where my neighbor is sitting. I yell " Grab her for me, Grab her for me, i cant reach her". Well he finally gets her in the boat and the fight is over. The fight probably didnt take all of 6-8 minutes but it felt like forever. I was pretty stoked. She had such long and sharp teeth on her i thank god i had flouro on and not mono b/c she would of ate right through mono. The pics arent that great b/c i caught her just about at dark. She will be headed to the taxidermist. I have caught a couple more bass bigger than her but after a few minutes of my neighbor convinceing me i kept her.

9lbs easily

i started using top water right when the bass started moving up onto the Bluegill beds. I have been tearing them up.

the sound of the fishing hitting my top water lures aint nothing like it.
