Ok --- heard all the talk that this is the latest and greatest for heavily trafficked waters. What is your experience? Where does it work well? What colors? Is it worth the 17.99 or just more hype.

I checked several places when someone said the zoom hooks were available. I didn't find any. They were discontinued around 10 years ago. Luckily I also bought a few as they were my favorite.

I ordered direct from Jewell -- Two day shipping and cheaper than TW.

thanks -- I bought some jewell and will try them out.

What are your favorite football jigs or hooks?

I use the Charlie slider heads. A pro tipped me off and they have worked great with wonderful movement.

I had not fished in over 2 years due to illness and lack of sight/mobility. While going through boxes of tackle, I found a couple of packs of the jigs. I will surely try them out.

lol just ordered 2 days ago

I have the cabelas black card which I pay off every month. I use the points to buy christmas presents. I think I will switch to a capitol one cash back as then I can spend wherever I please. I used to be against credit, but since I pay as soon as I get the notice, it is nice. I have it hooked to my debit card. I like the fact that when a shop is not treating you nice, capitol will fight for you.

I was doing some sorting out and found a Norman lure - flat broke from 2016. Most places say out of stock and Tackle warehouse doesn't carry them. This is a red ear color. Has anyone used this lure regardless of color and if, should I take it out of its package. There had to be a reason I bought it.

I was wondering if anyone has used the Dirty jigs or is it another internet youtube sales pitch

I am pretty much blind (total in left eye) and I am paralyzed in my right hand. They are a God send as I have a hard time seeing and tying. I take several rods so if I snap a line I can somewhat (not always) quickly change. I still catch lots of fish and these allows me to actually fish as sometimes it takes 15 minutes or so to tie. I also use a spincaster too as I can move my thumb some. I use the bullet and the omega pro from Zebco. I have over 15 of them set up. I like them a lot as i am not into being the super pro as I love to fish. I also do bank fishing as I have a giant chair and I am not allow to drive a car or a boat. But I do catch fish.

Tubes have been good for me

here is a pic From the owners (wackyworm.com)

Yes I got hooked by watching Bill Dance. Has anybody tried Berkley Fluoro Shield Fishing Line? If you have, what do you think?

I like the local places that are just jammed pack with all kinds of tackle and good advice. I like the fresh bait as well. There are two good ones within a short drive, but others are just selling bait for the lakes close by and a few popular tackle. Not too far from me is wacky worm in Gilbert, Pa.. It has a wall of plastic that is very good and the talk is great as a bunch of fishermen hang there. The Cabelas at Hamburg PA is hit or miss, but the staff is very nice.

Hamburg is larger, but the inventory has been down even before the virus. They normally have a good selection of hooks and rods & reels. I'm sorry, but you will have to take a chance. If it is Cabelas go to 3cs family restaurant outside of Hamburg. You can eat out by the river. Very peaceful and they offer old time style breakfasts.

a Kelly pre rigged worm in reddish brown. I was shocked as it was bought maybe 10 years before, but I thought why not. As soon as it hit the water boom. I did another cast and boom again. I was pleased.

thanks

I have one med light rod now, but wanted another. What did you use that rod for. I hate to lose a fish as it takes me a while to rig a lure sometimes although I have gotten pretty good with it.

Has anyone used Bass Pro Shops® Johnny Morris CarbonLite™ 2.0 Casting Rod 7' medium light? What do you think? TW has some lew's 6'10' and another brand, but they are not in stock. I am using it for ned rig. I use casting as my hand is paralyzed except for the thumb and I use zebco omega or bullet (omega zo2 here) as I can operate that reel and it requires a casting rod. How would the morris compare with the ugly stick the same measurements?

Yes I keep them in bags , but i want to store them in a big container for each type. Great ideas guys thanks

Do they sweat? Thanks you

original bags and way to many for the Plano boxes. I have about 3000 bags so I need large storage areas. This is not for taking them fishing as I have many bags of all sizes and backpacks, but to store at home.

Any recommendations for a large amount of soft plastics. They may be the brand names companies, but other suggestions and boxes that are just not fishing related. Thanks
