Bought some D bombs yesterday haha. We will see today how they do.

Should. It has trokar hooks.

What is it about the D bombs that you guys like so much? What hook do you use with them?

Need! When are they released?

I love those hooks. Didn't think of them for flipping. I got some trokars cause of the hype and I am noticing the same thing about them cutting through the bait easy. I think I will go to the owners. To O/P I use beavers, ugly otters and KVD Rodents

Just like the title says. I don't fish mono much and I'm curious if what I have is good or junk. What's your guys favorite and why. Let's say on a crank bait setup.

This is the exact jig I caught two 3 pounders on in a heavy vegetation pond yesterday. Goes through the weeds really well. That punching rig works well also.

Fished a pond today with heavy heavy vegetation and I caught one on a chatter bait and two on a jig.

Recently switched from power pro to sunline fx2 and I love it.

I bought some 10" worms today just to try it again and nothing lol but the bite was tough.

Well that puts some insight on it. It just seemed like I should be matching the hatch is all but like some of you said sometimes color doesn't matter that much it seems lol.

Ok so I am confused I guess. I use jigs alot. Mostly flipping. But Why is it so hard to find a dark red/black or dark red/dark brown colored jig? Seems like they are all greens and purples or black and blue. I saw a craw in the river yesterday and it was the exact color of a berkley vampire orange pit boss. Arent we trying to mimic craws here lol. I know they change colors throughout the year and places in the country but mostly they are red to my knowledge. With that said I usually throw a green pumpkin/purple or pb&j colored jig with a lot of success.

Pit boss is my favorite.

What the heck....

You guys like the elaztec stuff? I find it hard to use as a texas rig. The hook point keeps popping out.

I fish a lot of ponds with these conditions. A couple of my recent favorites since its hot is to use the Rage toads across the surface. I use a owner beast weighted spring retained swim bait hook so the belly stays down. Also I have found it to be very productive to drag a weightless weedless ribbontail worm across the top of the water. I caught 3 yesterday like this.

Gamakatsu Weedless Drop shot 1/0 works well but I want to try the wacky weedless ones.

The phenix Brent Ehrler Jigs are pretty good.

I have one and it works fine. I like it better than the zman ones.

Anyone ever do this? It works amazing. Did it yesterday and got 4 fish on it. My friend told me to do it awhile back but I never did. Until yesterday. Using a 7" ribbontail worm and pulling it across the top gives a snake like presentation I guess and they SMASHED it.

Dobyns 735

Frogs, whopper plopper, senko, swim jig

Love that show but it seems like the show always sets them up for super tough fishing conditions and it gets boring to me. Seems like they all flip or pitch most of the time. Only a select few like Gary Klein and Aaron Martens do any type of finesse fishing.

Agreed no wind sucks just as bad as 30-40mph winds in my opinion especially when its hot.

These look pretty awesome. Thanks everyone for your replies! I will look at them all and figure out what I wanna do from there.
