Fished in 5 to 10 feet of water? (No weeds or grass in the area.)

I have seen several recommendations for using the Gama Horizon Head jig head for soft plastics and mid-strolling. Besides a sharper hook, possibly, what is the difference in bait movement with a mid strolling retrieve between a regular round ball jig head and the Gama Horizon jig head?

Has anyone fished them side-by-side, or otherwise compared them while actually fishing each of them for bass? What about results? I know the Fat one is more durable. Which one do you believe is more effective?

With 6 lb. mono, what is the optimum number of wraps around the standing line when tying the Trilene knot? Thanks.

In clear, deep upland rocky reservoirs for spotted bass.... Which type lure and which size and brand of that lure do you prefer?

Very sorry to hear this. I admired him for his fishing knowledge and his ability and willingness to give clear explanations and responses to our posts. RIP

If you are fishing in the back of the boat in a deep, clear lake for spots with a friend this time of year, and you are using 3 light/ medium-light action rods with light line, what do you have tied on each of those 3 rods?

Popper, prop bait, walk-the-dog, pencil popper, chugger, etc?

For light tackle spotted bass fishing, I could almost get by with Keitech only, but do like some other brands occasionally for some of my shaky head fishing and Ned rigs. Like so many other topics in fishing, most things work most of the time, and people enjoy their own individual preferences for the way they fish.

Been throwing the 3 inch Easy Shiner for a long time for spotted bass. Have occasionally thrown the Shad Impact on a ned rig. The bodies look identical, with one bait having a straight tail and one a paddle tail. Has anybody fished them both the same way- retrieve, depth and speed, etc- and reached any conclusions about which is best, or equal? Or fished them differently and caught more with a certain technique?

I have two of the new 24 Certate FC2500LT reels. Love them. Great drag and lighter than the old ones.

I only use high vis line, 3-8 lb test, fishing mostly for spotted bass in a very clear highland lake. Also use it at the coast and in the TN river. Catch a lot of fish. If fish are turned off from visible lines, why do they hit an Alabama rig with a bunch of shiny wires? To each his own.

Several times this year I have stopped on a spot and the screen would be full of thin black arches, spaced evenly apart from top to bottom on my Garmin screen. Not like a bait ball. This screen shot is similar to those I am talking about, but with some small colored arches also in this pic. Was fishing Lake Martin in AL where the most numerous bait fish are threadfin shad and blue back herring. Anybody know what kind of small fish these are on the screen?

Same strategy, except I stop at 3.3 for spots.

I don't have a dogma, but I do have a catma....🙄 Great idea for a discussion, DaubsNU1.
