I found it at dicks

I like yellow pp. 20 or 50 lb

Exactly. I can use tgem to catfish if nothing else

Palomar and triple surgeon are 99% of knots i tie

Trees yes, my reference was to junk on bottom, rocks, logs, etc. Frogs do seem to snag less. I lov. Top water. My favorite to fish hands down

Is this combo any good? I got one just because it is normally 40 but 10 off and 50% off the 30. It also has a 10 dollar mail in rebate. I am thinking of going tomorrow getting the rest of them just because a rod/reel for 5 bucks is crazy

Awesome. I can keep everything i own in my bag and it weighs under 15 lbs. My stuff is very specific for where i fish. Basically theough trial and error i sold anything i didnt hit with. Weight isnt issue just convenience vs intended purchase i guess

Jitterbug for sure. Thing is sacred in my box. I throw it when nothing is working. Got my pb on it. I want to add another soon

Topwater is my bread and butter. I fish late evenings alot and i dont worry about them getting hung up. Being a bank guy top water is necessary.

I have both a plano tackle bag and backpack. I gave up on hard boxes, just like trays better. I keep going back and forth on which to use. I like the backpack because it keeps my gear out of way, but the bag is easier to organize. I just wanted some more opinions on this.the bag is always falling off my shoulder lugging 2 poles a net etc. I feel like once i get a boat it will be bag only all the time but til then i am just not sure. I hate buying a tackle bag and not using it but man the backpack is easier.

Another hoosier. Man there are a bunch of us here. Sounds like we need an outting

I am already thinking about a boat. Priced some last weekend, golf was a cheap hobby haha

Helping the economy...i just got my first real job couple months ago too. Might make my wife hate me

It gets crazy expensive thats for sure. I had a spread sheet going. When i got to 100 drivers i deleted it. That was in 2010 or so. I started playing in 06 and im only 24. I just try not to think about it now

Oh yeah i actually have met him already. Sold a ton of extra gear already. New to baitcasters not lures haha. I have an addiction to shopping. If you guys knew the number of golf clubs ive owned it would just be scary

Monkey?

Tomorrow i will try my store. Would love new spinning reel

Pun intended...anyways got early christmas gift. My wife is the best. Got a silver max (really wanted an h2o mettle express) but couldnt find a lefty. I was really impressed with it. Once i figured out the drag brakes spool tension this thing was a blast. It was much easier to use than i expected and casts a mile. I like having control of where i can stop the cast etc. I am going to enjoy 2015 with this reel. I have it paired up with ugly stik gx2 7 ft mh rod and 50 lb braid. I think it is a very solid combo for under 100 bucks. I am glad to join the bait caster club

H2o mettle xpress is supposed to be good. I am lefty so my options are limited

I live in east central indiana. I went out to a dozen lakes this year and didnt catch much of anything.

The hardest lake fish thread got me thinking. What are the best and worst states to fish? There are several indiana responses which is where i live. I dont have much experience outside indiana to compare but it is very hard here and the ones i have caught 2 lber is huge

I dont use stinkbaits anymore. I use dead minnows, worms, livers, or cut bait. I just use it all or donate it to the next guy fisjing when i am done. My dog has been in my stink bait way too mamy times. I quit buying it. She opened the lid on my tackle nox this summer and ate through the plastic three times.

I have a four tray tackle bag and i am trying to put my bass, catfish and panfish gear all in ot but it is hard to keep it organized. I had specific boxes for each earlier this year but i wanted to down size. I am not sure how to do this and my box not weigh 20 lbs. Thinking 2 bass 1 cat 1 pan tray, but i am not sure. It is driving me nuts trying to carry a variety of tackke but keep it as light as possible.

I like triple surgeons knot myself

North carolina is gorgeous. My favorite state for sure. I have a nc nursing license just incase i want to move lol.
