hey guys if you dont like flouro why do you use it for a leader rather than mono or anything else?

i just tryed to order a couple buzzbaits they called me as i was trying to print my order they do not have the baits and like the ad says it will be late spring before they have any

carrot stix ???? how about a celery stix

more than likley the slot in prop where the pin fits is ripped up some if its not to bad i took some fiberglass and filled in and re made the slot wont hold up for ever but can use prop as a back up

#1 berkley-crazy legs chigger craw (blk blue) #2 net bait---crawfish color 4/0 hook 3/16 oz jig head #3lipless crank bait #4 strike king series 4 6-9 ft sexy shad #5 bandit 200-300 spring craw #6-buzzbait # 7-pig-jig strike king rattlin pro modle blk/brn/amber craw trailor #8 rapala jointed shad rap jsr07 crawdad that's my spring time baits

if my pocketbook would only allow me a st croix premier thats the rod i would buy. i finally got far enough ahead "to me" up graded all my premiers to avid series and there is a difference. but the premier is a very good rod. sorry but i sold all my 8 premier rods

i just installed a 565 on tm have not had the chance to use it yet just wondering the dual beam works out did you set anything on unit before putting in water thanks kb

rapala's fat-free- fry cranks

sent out a big box of stuff today by the post office said it would take 7-14 days i did not know benton was that far away the years that i was going to zapata texas for about 12 years for the winter our first stop would be benton ark. at the best western motel it is about 600 miles from our home in indiana

know you tell me just sent a order in tues night ia' m allways a day early and a dollar short

like the man says put your ear on the transducer you can hear it click and feel it click

about 8 years ago i guess diawa came up with a spinning rod that has no eyes on it it has a slot obout 3/4 the way down from tip where you attach a spring looking thing ( like the old screen door springs but not as thick) you hook the line to spring insert it into the slot and whip it it comes out the end which looks like the barrel a little flared like a trumpet. this the only one i have ever seen i have it in the attic. i works ok but it looks dumb anyone else seen this rod

i say a-men to that ia'm 74 wife is 70 kb

what weight of a jig head do you use dont remember how big the strike king tubs are 3- 1/2" or 4 " i e-mail them once asked them they make every thing else in sexy shad color how come not the tubes ? :

the store in lafayette in. said they were closing there door may 15 th if stuff will last that long. they were packing some clothes in boxes probably going to another store

this has been a great subject to talk about and when you here guys like the ones on the above messages you can tell those guys care about getting it done the correct way. not just making baits to sell but trying to make the best. when you take the houres and material to make a bait and some one asks $20.00 or $30.00 for a bait there not making much money a hour just the pleasure of seeing how good a person can make a great bait there are some great bait makers on this site kb

i get a kick out of some of the guys wanting to make and paint cranks. please dont get me wrong and would like anyone to get the pleasure of making a crank and painting it then catching a fish with it BUT there are so many thing that go into making a great bait that preformes well and also looks good ask anyone that has made cranks "that work" how much work there is in making a fishable crank. the correct bill, in length width. thickness, also the angle. then the eyes. then putting the correct belly weight size, where to put weight then the hook wires . so they dont pull out made so its balanced correct has the kind of wiggle you want. finding the correct wood. and i could go on for a week about making a (good crank) its not just painting a bait that is the easiest part. some of use are fair painters and there are some outstanding painters as big m just ask big m how many cranks he has in his scrap pile it is a advicted habit but a rewarding habit to make the perfect crank

i have quite a few in alot of colors i see they have some new ones out that have a red bill so i brought a few in the house and taped the body off and sanded the bill then sprayer the bills my best colors are firetiger . crawdad ,baby bass,shad , i use the sr 7's

the sportsman warehouse here in lafayette indiana is going out of business man that ticks me off the only good tackle store in the area and going out of business was there today and they are having 20 % disc and closing there doors middle of may one of the gals that works there said they were closing 23 stores :'(

thanks guys thats where i found the odd size hooks i was looking for great help

a size 4 hook is larger than a size 6 hook in treble hooks

most lures have a different size treble hook that you can buy. i guess? like you buy a hook size 2--4--6--8-- but the lure will have a 3--5--7--9 and if you put a #4 hook to replace the#5 that comes on lure it is to big and the hooks will catch each other is there a co that makes the 3--5-7-9 hooks

depend on where the break is on the bottom some parts of my lake drop off at 10' away from bank and other places 20' i want to be far enough away so i can let the jig follow the bottom when bringing it back to boat

my home lakes are stained to muddy water so i have better luck with rattle jigs
