What time of day did you catch your PB?
I caught my PB largemouth in around 2pm in the afternoon which was 11 lbs. I recently caught a 9 lb 8oz at 1pm. My wife caught her PB of 9 lbs even at 530pm last year.

You can purchase all sale items at 15% off. Doesn't matter what brand the sale items are or at least least year you would still get the sale price.

Curado K vs Okuma Helios TCS
I have a curado k and an okuma tcs helios, both in 8:1 ratio. I prefer the curado k. I do like the carbon fiber handle on the okuma, but I feel the curado k is sturdier than the okuma. I also don't like having to take the side plate off to adjust the brakes on the okuma.

Bass Pro Shop Experience
I live on the coast and the basspro near me sells more saltwater than freshwater. They have a small selection of lucky craft, but no megabass stuff. Only a few GYCB and no Keitechs. I go to OKC to hang out with my buddy and hit up basspro there. They have a huge selection of lucky craft, GY, keitechs, and megabass. I was so jealous.

What are your thoughts on $100+ swimbaits?
I have never fished or owned $100 lure. I do have one Bull Shad that cost me $50. I will go swimming for it if I need to. Other than that the majority of my lures are less than $13. I have 2 hudds, but got both for around $20. I just can't justify throwing a lure that cost as much as decent rods and reels these days.

What is the best and most value priced Hollow Body Frog that you do not have to squeeze the water out of?
Snag proof Ish Monroe frogs rarely get water in them. There is a popping version and a walking version.

I want a rod for big hard, trebled hooked swimbaits
Check for dobyns swimbait rods. I have an 806sb and it does well with large swimbaits and glidebaits.

Anyone thrown the Dredger?
The 25.5 is not bad. I used it at Lake El Salto earlier this year. Caught some 3 to 6 lbers on it. Handle them well. I was able to throw it on my 805cb with ease. Didn't overload the rod. I had better results with the dd22s, bombers, and 10xds in regards to size.

Reel for Flipping/pitching/punching

I use a 6:1 conquest for deep cranking. Everything else is 7:1 or greater for me.
