  1. Go-to Lure to Entice Even the Most Finicky Bass

    Big Fish Small Pond posted a topic in Fishing Tackle
    Everybody has a go-to lure when they want to procure a bite on the slowest of fishing days. I am curious as to what lure it is that people here on BR reach for when the going gets tough.

    Big Fish Small Pond replied to Big Fish Small Pond's topic in Fishing Rods, Reels, Line, and Knots
    Thanks for the feedback guys. Definitely appreciating the descriptive, informative, and lively discussion. Personally, I love hooking a 3.5-4lb bass on ultra light gear. That kind of fight is what fishing is all about. Thanks, Big Fish Small Pond

  11. Bucktail Jig Storage

    Big Fish Small Pond replied to Big Fish Small Pond's topic in Fishing Tackle
    I figured as much, seen and grabbed the right stuff today in Wally World. I guess that is what I get for reading in the comment section on YouTube and another forum that started the batting was it. Thanks for looking out SmallJaw

  12. Bucktail Jig Storage

    Big Fish Small Pond replied to Big Fish Small Pond's topic in Fishing Tackle
    What kind of poly foam is used? Also, short of filing my barbs, are there any other solutions for bucktail storage?

  13. Bucktail Jig Storage

    Big Fish Small Pond replied to Big Fish Small Pond's topic in Fishing Tackle
    The "NU-Foam" premium densified batting that is supposed to be used as described in the YouTube video does not work as shown in that video. It is very difficult to grab the hooks out of the foam after it is hooked into the material. As it is densified, there just seems to be layers of fabric material to get caught on the hook. I realize how to put the foam in the slot(it is literally in the video), that is not the issue. What foam material did you use in order to get the desired results? Thanks, Rick

  14. Bucktail Jig Storage

    Big Fish Small Pond replied to Big Fish Small Pond's topic in Fishing Tackle
    Yea, I have tried the storage idea from the YouTube link. The foam that is said to work in the video does not. Thanks for the responses though guys. Keep it coming. Thanks, Rick

  16. Baitcaster Line Guide Is Loose

    Big Fish Small Pond replied to Big Fish Small Pond's topic in Fishing Rods, Reels, Line, and Knots
    Shimano Curado Bantam CU-201B5 is the reel

  17. Baitcaster Line Guide Is Loose

    Big Fish Small Pond posted a topic in Fishing Rods, Reels, Line, and Knots
    I have a baitcaster, which has a line guide that bounces up and down while retrieving. The reel overall is in great shape mechanically and cosmetically as well. The line guide itself still does go back and forth on the worm gear. However, even when fully tightened, the line guide still bounces up and down while retrieving. Any thoughts on a possible resolution to this issue will be much appreciated. Thanks, Rick

  21. Best Uses For Monofilament Line

    Big Fish Small Pond replied to Big Fish Small Pond's topic in Fishing Rods, Reels, Line, and Knots
    Aside from top-water, is there any use, in your opinions, other than a top-water presentation?

  22. Best Uses For Monofilament Line

    Big Fish Small Pond replied to Big Fish Small Pond's topic in Fishing Rods, Reels, Line, and Knots
    I am using flourocarbon heavily this season, I just have mono line lying around wondering what my best use for it would be. I have established that I will most likely have a top-water setup with mono as the line utilized.
