About a 12 foot jon boat or a mod v jon boat is the only way to go. As for a motor, What hp or how fast do you want it to go.

Maybe a rat l trap for a quick reaction strike

i use zooms

I havent done much of 1/8 ounce. what I have done is fairly light casting. If you are looking for something that can cast an 1/8 ounce a mile and still have backbone I am having trouble thinking of anything.

Oh so we are on my topic with more money. Let me say what everyone will, if you save a little more you'll be golden. Do what you can afford, but you can always save money too.

Thanks for all the help. I will definately save up more. Your advice is appreciated. Thank You all.

the rod does everything perfectly. from shakeyheads to dropshots and 5/16 ounce finesse jigs and all weights and sizes the rod performs extremely well.

If your having trouble with mono dont ever go to flourocarbon. thet stuff has a wicked memory.

LOVE MY LEWS

Mainly going to be a worm and jig rod for flipping and pitching. I will also throw mainly texas rigs and some senkos. Also what # lline and what variety would you all use.

Quantum and abu??? lews for eveything. shimanos are great too.

Hey all I have some money burning a hole in my pocket, just wondering what kind of rod and reel you would get in this price range. Thanks in advance.

agreed tho i prefer spinning for both u can get away with a shakeyhead on a baitcaster.

shimano old style im7 graphite rods. very sensitive tips lots of backbone. not the caliber of rod your looking for but definatetly a great rod

get a rod with lots of back bone. wait to set the hook. keep the braid. then reel. if your hook is set good there is no coming off.

exactly the same here.

I don't know if you have them where you are but Little creepers are the best swimbaits I have used. They are made in Clear lake, ca by some guys in a house. They are so good berkely tried to copy them, but without success. They have sizes from 4 or 6 inches, and maybe an 8 inch. Check them out.

Thats a good idea, great way to look at things. Its not necessarily convetional but it works! Most of the time people are trying to imatate a crawdad so white is rarely used in that situation. Best guess i can come up with.

DROPSHOT

xcalibur rattle traps at 7 dollars a pop. it gets expensive.

man i would love it if my lures reproduced!!!

xcalibur lipless cranks are the best ive found

brush hogs or speed craws
