Not trying to hijack the thread, but since it's here why not lol can anyone tell me who makes this crank? I google it and came up with nothing

I have a 7'3" mh micro magic and I love that rod. I haven't been gentle with it, it has seen it's share of super hard hook sets and it hasn't broke yet. It's really light and sensitive with good backbone, but enough tip to throw weightless senkos. As long as you take care of them and don't bang them around they are awesome.

I know exactly what you mean hoosierbass, I just got my first unit. (lowrance elite 4x) I know how to interpret what is on the screen as far as structure, fish, trees, etc. But the problem I have is trying to figure out exactly where this stuff is. I know the right side of the screen shows what is right up under the transducer, but how can you tell how far behind the boat something is that's in the middle or left side of the screen?

I just went through this same deal, went on Tw to get a couple spinnerbaits and ended up with a bunch of owner soft plastics, wiggle warts, tubes, and war eagle spinnerbaits.

I've been catching most of my fish on spinnerbaits here lately, throwing into brush piles and bouncing it off of anything I can find. I have also had pretty good luck in heavy current (like choke points in creeks), I throw the spinnerbait back into the slack water and slowly work it to the fastest moving spot and most of the time when the current catches the spinnerbait a fish will nail it if he's there. They just sit there at the edge of the current waiting on an easy meal to get washed by.

Excellent post! I have learned so much from this site and want to thank everyone who contributes, the moderators, and the sponsors. It really is an awesome site with great folks

Yeah I just got my first depth finder, and I was pretty startled to see water temps at 68 last weekend. I mean, it had snowed a week or two before that! haha that had me all messed up until I learned it was just the surface temperature.

Congratulations on the new pb!

I have found them in both walmart and dicks, but only in black and blue. I really like them too, especially as a jig or chatterbait trailer.

Do any of yall know of any clubs around wilmington/ lake waccamaw nc? I looked on the pinned thread here and couldn't find anything.

Hahaha I didn't notice that till now! I think he was trying to push her out the way so he could grab the pole and catch him one!

My wife got her pb in a small creek today! Caught on a 3/8 oz white and gold spinnerbait, I didn't have the scales so I don't have a wieght. You can't really tell how fat it was because of the angle, but she had a belly on her haha

Yeah it is, especially when you don't think they are there!

The fish are getting pretty active around here now, my wife caught her pb today in a small creek behind my house. And naturally I didnt bring my scale with me, so I don't know the weight but it was a nice one. I never would have thought there was a bass that size in a creek that is barely 10 yards wide at the widest spot! I will be carrying that scale from now on haha

Yeah I went out to a pond behind my house after work and caught a decent one one a 1/2 oz war eagle spinnerbait. It sure was awesome having some nice weather, but the wind was KICKIN' on my side of the state lol

I live in eastern nc and I have been catching them pretty good on spinnerbaits, jerkbaits and the dropshot rig. I will be heading to the pond as soon as I get off work, hopefully this warm Sunny day has got them moving around and feeding

That craw (right side) in the pic has been an awesome jig and chatterbait trailer for me this winter. I stumbled upon them at Walmart one day looking for a black and blue jig trailer, and they were the only thing that fit the bill. I like the action that those claws give off, and they Make a little bit smaller profile than a rage craw.

From what I have experienced the hybrid lines (copolymer) are just a tad less sensitive than flouro, but alot more manageable. But I have to admit that the only flouro I have tried is seagar red label, and the only copolymer I have tried is yozuri hybrid. I now run yozuri hybrid on all my rods except for my flipping rod and have no problems detecting bites, plus the breaking strength is amazing with it.

Welcome from wilmington nc! You have found the best site on the internet haha

Yeah that's what I got too

I had DVT go through a tdz for me little while back and that thing was amazing when I got it back! He's currently working on a citica 200e for me and I can't wait to see how it performs after the supertune. I won't send my reels anywhere but DVT

I didn't see that but I'm glad I didn't! I would have spent every dime I had on them and sold the ones I didn't like haha Kschultz76 when you checked out did it happen to show you when the rod would come off of backorder and ship out? Or did you order while they were still in stock?

Money well spent!

That's good to hear! And I was referring to gander mountain, you even get a $10 e gift card when you buy the rod but it says you don't get it until 4 or 5 days after you recieve the rod. I wish I would have had the money for a couple more!

Nobody actually has one of these? I reckon I need to post a review on it once I get it and fish it a little bit.
