Need some info on Chickamauga.....

Alot of times it is the top of the transom. Another is the rub rail. Buddy has a 1998 and it was both. All in the rear area. Good luck. You will find it and have a great boat for years to come.

It will discolor your boat interior pieces thats for sure....

Pulled the megabass 110 in pro blue out in my Ohio River tourny Sunday. Struggling to find 12" bass allday. I thought, why not try the bait that has worked all year. BOOM, giant bass in this pool. After catching a catfish and a drum, I didnt think this hard pulling fish was a bass. She jumped completely out of the water and my partner and i just looked at each other and said "It is a BASSSSSS". When it jumped I could have swore it was 8-10 pounds. After seeing 8-10 inch fish most of the day anyway. It ended up being 4.5lbs and was the Big Bass of the tourny by far. She sure looked bigger than 4.5 tho. Solid hard pullin river fish!

Big enough for 2nd place lol Had 11.10lbs and first was 11.19lbs..... Had a bass die on me and cost me .20lbs and the win... Hurts a little but 2nd is better than 3rd..

threw a $25 Megabass jerkbait and got 5 bass and made $250 in my club tourny yesterday. Could a $5 jerkbait do that, probably but I chose to use the Megabass and I think the added confidence helps a great deal.

Wow this thread is blowing my mind. For me its the Arashi square bills. Not a fish and I have several sizes and colors. But wow some of the posts on here are mind blowing.. Warts catch fish in cold water for me DT series do break, they are made from balsa wood... Gotta be careful. They do catch fish tho. Rattle baits are a deadly weapon in the spring on flats and also again in the fall on flats. Favorite bait for big spring bass... Bait ball baits looked like a gimick to me from the start so i never bought one lol

I fought the urge for years. Bought a MB Vision 110 and now I own several of their products. Quality is worth the price. IMO. The older I get the more i like the finer things in life. I kinda feel like I have erned it. Plus if i spend money on stuff and it works, why not!?

Confidence.

Shine those blades up and hold on!

RK Star 55 is number one on my list. Livingstons Ripper lippless, MEGABASS FERMATA, MEGABASS I-JACK, and the baby D-stroyer will be my bait monkey this winter also...

I didnt read all of these, but did anyone meantion fish have to eat or die? Just because it gets tough or the elements get worse, doesn't mean they won't bite. Fishing is "over" when I am dead. I hope to be fishin with the real pro fisherman then!

Great discussion. I always wonder what the next big thing will be. The Livingston guys seem to have someting going. They have blown up lately. Wonder how the new bluetooth lure will work. Sounds interesting. Other than the Rockstar Spro crankbait, i think the suspending Megabass rattlebait be a giant hit.. Great for Guntersville this spring. can't wait to try some out.

Dang Glenn, I am sure "business" people like small business owners will still Gawk at celebrities. Or "business" people may bring a friend or "co-worker" to look around at the new stuff. You make it sound like suit and tie event with bouncers. Bassmasters has over 200 new item pictures up to look at Rchiuz. I like to get my hands on the new Rock Star RK 55 Spro. Looks awesome.

I have been to a similar show for the archery world. They are AWESOME! I met all the TV personalities and got tons of free stuff. I went with a business owner and had a great time seeing all the newest stuff. Even met some fishin guys like Hank Parker and Jimmy Houston. If ICAST is anything like the ATA show, it is worth the trip. If you can get in.....
