I wondered about this as well. At the Classic this year, those final guys to weigh in had their boats out of the water about 4 hours until they actually weighed in. Obviously they have aerated tanks behind the stage for the guys, but this is not good for the fish.

Really depends on who your sponsor is. A lot of the BPS guys are using the cheaper BPS rods and reels (Evers, Defoe, etc). Brent Chapman is using Kastking.

9 days until Chick. Get your picks in. Our top 10 through the first two events: Fish Forrest Fish - 2434 PBuckley63 - 2415 MrPeanut - 2332 Logan - 2327 NELABassguy - 2323 wmurtha - 2321 Zangof - 2299 Dropshotthotshot - 2296 ohboyitsrobby - 2285 fishballer06 - 2277 It's a really tight race so far. Only 55 points separate 3rd from 10th. So choose your picks wisely.

I wouldn't be surprised. Seth Feider finally had his best day on the final day and surged up to 4th. That helped save my bracket.

Sorry, I should have said "knob".

Live is up now and running. Here's who I went with: Feider Arey Williamson Dipalma Gleason

Buy whichever size fits you best. Then you can always switch the handle for $10.

I'm running 4 Chronarch MGL's. 2 I pre-ordered, and the other 2 I bought a month or two after I received the first two. Outside of having DVT service them for me periodically, they have 0 issues. With that being said, I'll definitely be snagging a 20 Met or two. Might even have to sell a Chronarch to afford one.

I think you are confused and/or misinformed. The Chronarch MGL uses brass gears. Only the 13 and 16 Metanium's use aluminum gears.

I was going to recommend this, or to get some colored permanent markers, and then take some clear nail polish over it to keep it from rubbing off. Either way, all this is probably overkill, and using just a plain GP or Orange jighead is probably going to get you the same results. But I understand, cabin fever is real up north right now.

Finesse jigs? I'm using a Rage Tail Baby Bug.

We've made it. It's Classic week. 3 days left to make your picks.

I've never even heard of this stuff...

From my recent trip to Florida.

If I got mine, my wife already threw it away. She hates me having catalogs and magazines laying around. Doesn't bother me. The internet has so much more information these days. But the nostalgia of getting one and flipping through it for the first time still gets me.

I've seen (literally) dozens of people complaining on Facebook that they never got their Abu reels from that "flash sale". Good luck and I hope you get yours.

About a week until the Classic kicks off. Get your picks in!

Mike, a few things I noticed. Is the unpainted no longer an option? The 5 pack discount doesn't seem to be working either. The white/silver crackle looking paint pattern doesn't seem to be an option any more either. Let me know on these. I'd like to order some more dredge jigs soon and some swim jigs. Thanks!

I've had quite a few days where I can't buy a bite and I'll tie on a 1/8oz white rooster tail and I'll start catching all kinds of stuff.

Matt Allen also doesn't fish waters infested with pike, musky, and walleye. So for that, if I have a bait that I know works well and I use it a lot, I might carry 4 or so with me of it.

Basically, the only differences are: Blade Weedguard Head shape Hook style

The stainless steel gearing is intriguing.

#5. That's exactly what we did all day. We just kept hopping from spot to spot, looking for schooling fish. The guy I was with told me that he had an 85 fish day there last year.

I just got back from Orlando yesterday. I met some guys from another message board and fished Teneroc. I killed them on a white swim jig and flukes. Speed worms worked well as well.

Ned rig and a dropshot (outside of Lake Erie).
