We jackpole 40# tuna all the time with heavy gear of course as for bass if its my flipping rod then 6lb is my airborne limit if I'm drop shotting then I'm down on the deck for a lip grip its all about committing to the first grab

Try metering some fish if your yak is set up with one I would drop shot 5lb fluoro with a nose hook tiny fluke or other finnese bait fish presentation. A brush jig head with a pit boss on it would be on another rod. My third would be 7lb fluro with a duo spinbait 80. Round it out with a roboworm on a finesse shakey head. I would also have an h2o express CRULD ready to be tied on. I love fishing clear water good luck and have fun

Siebert jig with rage trailer with the tips dipped in some jj's magic. Maybe a gamma craw or black and blu. You might try some frog action early and late in the day or a nice loud rattle crankbait maybe a squarebill for the shallower water

Xrk 25 knocker is my go to search bait every time I am fishing a new body of water. That lure is a great indicator of fish conditions.

Zenith shakey from siebert outdoors is top on my list and very affordable. If I'm fishing finese with 5 and 6 lb fluoro the 1\16 oz boss shakey heads are great small heads.

Wish I had a local academy cause their shipping sucks. 1 order comes from 5 different stores around the country and there is always a screw up. But d**n I love some of their in house lures and their sales are hard to beat.

Forschner knives are what most commercial fisherman use I grew up in a fishing family. Otherwise dexter russel. Both have great steel quality good flex and great steel that takes to a stone very well. Can find both on eBay pretty cheap

Owner twislock 2\0 works for me on the 6"

Bluegill wakebait has been good for bustin bed fish. That and a shakey head bold bluegill roboworm gets nailed. Caught numerous fish Saturday on the robo probably 23 bank fish on these

I need to move by a store that actually marks stuff down my dicks and mart had nothing worth busting out the wallet for

Can't wait for my jig order and warmer water. Come on mike and weatherman You are my only hope and reading southern fish reports aint helping much

Hard to beat seaguar premier fluoro leader material. This is a saltwater special on the west coast long range fishing fleet. Use it for wahoo and giant tuna but they also make it in 12 15 &20lb test. Best strength for its diameter and lies softly on the water. Uni to uni is the smallest connection knot if your diameters are far from one another just double up the spectra side of the uni knot. I have noticed much larger fish coming on my top water lures since I have gotten away from straight spectra just 3ft oof mono or fluoro has meant bigger fish. Numbers were always good but the older fish seem Leary of spectra.

Dropshot or weightless or wacky. Roboworms always seem to catch just some presentations work better than others on any given day.

Dang I have never seen someone so sensitive on an outdoors forum. Me thinks roger needs a hug and some fishing therapy. Guess I have thick skin from duck hunting forums. At the end of the day its just fishing not a quadratic equation get back to basics and enjoy nature instead of quantifying it.

Shakey head with bold bluegill roboworm had to clear skim ice before I could cast
