a little bit of faith goes a long way! (;

I have a curado and here lately I've been back lashing a ridiculous amount and used to a back lash was about 1 every trip and I went to mess with the brakes and the little red caps that go over the magnets looked like they had been sanded on top and had thin strips of melted plastic on the ends and it's all but one of them that's damaged so help me out here!!!! Lol

Is this the one where he got hit by the weight? My moms boyfriend is actually the executive producer so I heard the first hand story! Sucks to be him!!!

Was waiting for this one hahaha

If you're lucky enough to live in tulsa you can usually just walk in and they'll replace the rod for free. If anyone does live in tulsa, mention the name dale and they'll replace em for free

Cold water can really take it out of your lungs

A cast is a cast. The fish dont care if you use your breaking system or not. Right? Lol

I think everyone loves a 3 pounder, myself included. Haven't caught a dd but im almost there! 9.3 pounds is my pb, caught on a 3/4 bluegill sk shad in an old strip pit.

Congrats! My pb was caught on a jig, as were many others!

Not 100% sure but I believe it is made by bps.

Found a few of these at my uncles and just found out what they were called when I googled the name of this post! I don't recommend them, very little action, bad on grass or around grass imo. Never know though! I did have some high hopes for them!

kind of crazy to think he was on a box of Wheaties at one point in time! haha

Cause we love it!

Craftsmanship, and the fact that people will pay that much for it! haha

Thanks for sharing! Neat little piece of history.

Can't say I like them more than spooks, but they are one of my favorites. I like to throw these when there's vegetation right beneath the water or throw them into the thickest crap I can! When I see fish boiling but wont hit my spook I tend to throw one. Casting distance is great too. Give them a try!

I've always discouraged to throw white lures in the ponds I fish but I have a buddy who almost only throws shad colors and he still tears them up. I do think it does matter in lots of situations though!

I would say pb&j on the color!

you could eat a lure!

I believe so!

There's a guy with a company called evolution jigheads and they have the body harness style you are looking for! http://www.evolutionjigheads.com/

There's no telling!

Definitely the best way to catch a striper. Once they are busting like you can throw just about anything at them. Square bills and lipless cranks are my favorite!

I'd have to sell those if I got them for 10$

one of my favorite ponds is now less than 5 feet deep at its deepest! the fishing used to be a lot better. its also where i caught my pb and one of my friends caught one that weighed 8.7! its a shame
