  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. What is the difference in utilization and application between a 5' Ultralight Power Moderate Action Spinning Rod and a 5' 6" Ultralight Power Fast Action Spinning Rod? Thanks, Big Fish Small Pond
  4. Thanks for your input so far guys. I'm in the process of upgrading my UL gear, do feel free to keep the suggestions and insights coming. Thanks, Big Fish Small Pond
  5. Hey BR, What is a good UL spinning rod and a good UL spinning reel for panfish(smaller bass included)? Thanks, Big Fish Small Pond
  6. Hey BR, What rods are you guys pairing your Pflueger President 6930 Spinning Reels with? Also, what rods are you guys pairing your Shimano Stradic 2500 Spinning Reels with? Thanks, Big Fish Small Pond
  7. Thanks for the input guys. I think I have found what I was looking for. Any further information would be appreciated though. Big Fish Small Pond
  8. Thanks Spankey, I do like those St. Croix's. Now if only they were on sale tho lol. Thanks, Big Fish Small Pond
  9. Thanks for the input ibob. I am interested in getting a St. Croix, preferably somewhere on sale. Big Fish Small Pond
  10. Any recommendations for a M/F or ML/XF Spinning Rod under $100 would be much appreciated. I am doing some of my own research, buy would like to get input from you guys at BR. Thanks, Big Fish Small Pond
  11. 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. What kind of poly foam is used? Also, short of filing my barbs, are there any other solutions for bucktail storage?
  13. 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. 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
  15. Hey BassResource, What kind of storage are you guys utilizing for your bucktail jigs?
  16. 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
  17. Will most likely be used to target bass with plastics and jigs, price range is under $100
  18. Hey guys, any advice on rods to pair with a Shimano Stradic 2500FH Spinning Reel? Thanks, Rick
  19. Aside from top-water, is there any use, in your opinions, other than a top-water presentation?
  20. 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.
  21. I throw both Spooks and Zara Puppy's. I am looking to utilize a proper type of rod to get the best out of the lure.
  22. Non-landing attempted jokes aside, I am gauging what actual people that utilize this obvious fishing resource have to say on the topic. Thanks, Rick
  23. What is the best type of Rod to use in order to fully utilize Zara Spooks? (Power and Action)
