Yeah I couldn't see a DNR wasting money on the death. I know in MN there are some private stocking done with walleye, and they are almost double the price per fish stocked, but they aren't fry our fingerlings.

That is a good deal in my opinion. I have the magnum with 6 boxes and I think I paid a little more than that. The super is a monster, and they are great bags. Well built and made to carry almost anything you can throw at it. Get it while you can, but beware. If you don't have enough tackle to fill the boxes... you will be another victim of the bait monkey, and you can check in with the rest of us addicts in the bait monkey form.

Yeah.. I have gotten by so far. 10 - 15 a lure. On the TW black Friday deal I spent the most I have ever spent on a single lure. Once I get this rod and reel down I will put more into tackle.

Yeah I kept them. I don't keep my Cajun line though. So cheap to replace

I know they say a MH is a perfect go to. You just great some that say braid should only be used for this and never use mono and the kind of rod. I use my three and keep my lures in between the weight on the rod. I do change my line out depending on my mood. Lately I have been running 50 lb braid on my bait caster, and 30 braid on my spinning. I change out the bait caster for Cajun 12 lb line a lot.

So I see people (and I'm not one to talk) with a copious amount of rods. They HAVE XX action with Xx Line for Xx techniques. I personally have 3 rod that I use for specific things, but is there a right or wrong. Are MH fast actions preferred for specific techniques and what do you use than for line? what do you use (line, action) for what technique?

Might pick up a pack. I have already been a Mustad user, but love to look at other makers with positive remarks from fellow users.

If I am correct those are the spinning trebles? Shoot me a review of them and how well they work.

It's almost 50 here in Minnesota.. I am so close to saying screw out in going out!

My wife "Why can you fish out of season but not hunt" asking when northern opener is two weeks before bass. (And I was fishing for northern) My reply "Because you can catch and release Fish. You can't shoot a deer and expect to release it."

The tackle company's out there do a great job of marketing. 1 lure in 10 colors, and 20 lures in the series that go to 1, 2, 6 ft of water an so on! It's easy to get in the mind set that different colors are needed, and different depths are needed. Not to mention different presentations. The choices are endless, and it's hard to say no I only need X amount of baits. I personally am guilty of the bait monkey getting too often. I see a pro, our even a friend use it and think, hum.. I don't have it, I want it, and I want to master that lure.

Humm... Minn kota Pilot Revo Rocket But stocking up on some hard baits like: Spro Aruku Strike King red eye's Yo-Zuri's And a Rapala or two I have been eyeing. Maybe some more *** chatters to. I would of gotten it all on the black Friday sale, but decided to try out Wacky rigging with Senkos, and to cross off a couple other bigger ticket lures next year would be better.

I know I know, but I was hopping it would slide because the "other fish" section... Lol.. But I love the Toro, and was thinking about that. But what are the + and -'s of round versus low profile, or isn't there? And has it come commonly accepted to use the lows on bigger fish? If I remeber right the Toro also would make a decent cross over reel with different line of course for just plain out northen or bass fishing. I appreciate the help, really I do.

So. This year I am thinking up upgrading my Muskie fishing setup. I originally went with an extremely cheap setup to make sure it was something I wanted to get into, and I do. My current setup is an Okuma ABF spinning reel (the salt water reel) and a Whumppum stick. The problem is this setup while it works is extremely heavy! What are your suggestions? Spinning over caster. Round versus low profile. Pros and cons. I was originally thinking an Abu Garcia Ambassador C4, St. Croix MD FA and 85 lb braid, but I want to hear from others on their opinion who fish musky. Oh price range isn't set yet, but I was thinking 300 ish range on the combo. Give or take.

Lol.... I like it.. practical multi use..

My brother in-law has a spider wire backpack and it works well. I was impressed.

Northland Weed runners from Fleet Farm. I can get them from $1 to $1.5 and are the best spinner by far. The shirt material is solid and doesn't slip, and features a small Colorado blade and a prominent willow that is long and thin. In the white shad with a red belly this is my go-to bait when I am having no luck. I love them so much last sale I bought I think it was 10 just in case I lost a couple through the year.

I use the mad dog g2 on an Abu Garcia vendetta/cardinal setup with 30lb braid, but I don't have a lot of different rods for specific presentations so I also use this combo for my frog. But there is the Rapala side walker I think it is. That has a great natural walk the dog presentation. Matt lures makes a hard (the soft blue gill). And the BBZ1 rat as mentioned just won a 2014 Icast award for hard baits, and rightfully so in my opinion. (At 10in and I think close to 2oz though, this lure will require a little better rod set up.)

That bag is the best! It feels great carrying it with the strap. All handles hold up great! And there is so much room for evening. I was even able to make a tote for my Muskie spinners.

lol. Nada, in process finishing my office into the babies room..... Sad sad day when I lost my man cave. Now I have to clean out the spare room and move In there.

Might be that you are getting attuned to the slightest movement in the line. Kind of like when you are walking and bouncing a jig off the bottom. You can tell what you are going across. You feel difference between rocks and a branch that the jig rolls off, and know that slightest peck from the bass picking it off the bottom. Or your gifted in a 6th sense and should use your powers on more than just bass...

Not necessarily an island. Premise of the question was based on if you were stranded question and what would you bring. You could just be out fishing. The question in hand though makes you think of what do you find dearest and most versatile within you arsenal.

Okay rephrase it as. What is your number one go-to combo and tackle.

Your buddy calls and tells you "fishing time, but one you can only bring 1 rod, and 1 lures" What do you bring and why?
