it was nice and easy then. 3 inch grub on a 1/8 head and my ugly stick ul and I was good to go!

There's a lot of posts regarding this topic. (Including one very current) Look around a bit, there's a lot of info on here already.

What kind of swimbaits?

Simple answer: yes, especially on the flukes. Can really mess up action.

It handles like mono but has low stretch and good abrasion resistance like fluro

on a budget, already getting a max 3d casting rod.

No? No one? Lol

How old are these?

perfect rod for Spinnerbait around cover, also would double as a decent rod for light wire jigs and t-rigs.

Robowor Roboworm alive shad, and dreamshot

Theyre nice for the price, Acs seat and I'm7 blank is a good deal for $40

yeah you probably will be.

Anyone use the new gen one? Are they as stiff as the old ones?

I say swim jigs because most of the northern lakes dont have much rock so a swimjig works nice. When I smallmouth fish with jigs I only use football jigs

I just use a backpack with a few plano boxes in it.

If you only could fish one jig shape, what would it be? I'd say an arkie or swimjig. (swimjig because you can do a lot with it, swim it, hop it, flip it)

I don't think you can effectively cover all techniques with one line. I'd say you need one froggin/flippin rod with braid and at least one spinning rod with light line. However you can cover a lot of techniques with a good co-poly or hybrid line in 12 or 15 pound.

#1 & #2 Gami Octopus hooks and 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4 ounce teardrop weights for dropshotting. As far as baits go, Roboworms, and SK Dreamshots get the job done

I used to use my fingers until I had a ring break under my finger nail. That wasn't fun getting it out.

I like that reel seat much more than standard Fuji seats

Anyone have expierience with these? They look pretty amazing.

T rig: 3/16 - 1/4 Jig: 3/8 or 1/2

Are you fishing shallow around wood or any cover? If so I might bump it up to twelve.

I bass fish from ice out to ice in so I have a bit of time.
