I agree. If you are fishing thicker vegetation go with a thin skirt. Thinner vegetation, I go with a thicker skirt.

I have a Mojo bass and i love it. Can`t say much for the other 2

Livetargets and Evolve for hollow body, rage tail for soft plastic

3'' Chigger craw rigged on a VMC shaky head.

What are the largest and smallest lures that you typically use (for bass)? Mine are: Smallest 2" grub with 1/32oz jighead Largest 8" Hudd

Great blog, light jigheads with finesse worms are my go to baits during cold fronts or in the winter.

Good idea!

Try a Spro, Livetarget or Evolve frog. If you mean a spinnerbait, i would go with either a Booyah or a Strike King. If you mean an inline spinner, i would go with a good old Mepps Black Fury.

That muskie is a beauty! If you dont mind me asking, what did you catch it on?

Braid: Sufix 832 Fluorocarbon: Sunline Super FC Sniper Mono: Berkley Trilene Big Game Don't use copolymer at all.

7' ML St croix Avid spinning rod w/ Daiwa Ballistic 2500 spinning reel and 10lb 832 braid for dropshots, shaky heads and cranks. 6'6" M St croix Avid spinning rod w/ Pflueger Supreme XT spinning reel and 12lb Sunline Super FC Sniper for tubes, grubs, T rigs and small jigs. 6'8'' MH St Croix LTB casting rod w/ Shimano Chronarch CI4+ 151HG 7.6:1 casting reel and 16lb Super FC for the heavier stuff like jigs, carolina rigs and bigger T rigs, If i had to pick 1, it would be the ML Avid

Thats a beauty! what did you catch him or (her) on?

I fish them on a VMC shaky head jig and drag them along the bottom. Works wonders for both species of bass. We dont have Chain pickerel up here in Ontario, but the Northern Pike love them too.

5lb walleye and 30" Muskie. So many muskies in that lake that they are considered a nuisance species.

What a hog!

Split shot rigs are very under utilized in bass fishing. Nice job!

Saw a video of Rob Ford salmon fishing...

Definitely with the FC Sniper

I just found out something cool. A lot of you guys probably know this, but i found out all of shimano`s casting reels start with a `C` for casting (Chronarch, Caenan, Curado, Citica, Calais, etc.). And all of their spinning reels start with an `S` for spinning (Stradic, Sustain, Sahara, Stella, etc.). I`m not sure why I am so excited, but I just thought that I would share this with you guys.

I prefer cork, all of my rods have cork handles. I think it`s a matter of personal preference, but i do not like EVA at all. I might also point out that my favorite cork is Fenwick`s TAC cork. Feels great in my hand, and doesn`t get dirty nearly as fast as other cork.

How does he stay that calm???

Gotta love wade fishing! I should do it more but he water needs to be warm enough for me to stand in the water wearing in my swim shorts.

Me too, all of mine work fine.
