Green Trout

I am looking at getting a medium heavy Duckket Ghost Rod for my jigs, T Rigs, spinnerbaits, and Flukes. How is this Rod if you have used it before?

I am used to Berekly Vanish Flurocarbon. However, I am thinking of switching to Red Label. Is there a major down-grade in Red Label? Only reason I ask is because it is so cheaply priced compared to other flurocarbon lines out there.

I use a medium light power with a moderate tip

I love monofilament and use it for my jigs and t rigs. I also can't decide what monofilament to use. What is the most sensitive/lowest stretch monofilament you have found? Thanks so much.

Anyone try this line? If so, is it sensitive?

I always have tied improved clinch knots with Monofilament and have had no problems. I tried it with my flurocarbon (Berkly Vanish 14lb) and it does not work. The knot almost burns and just ties terrible. It's not nice, even coils of line it's more just a mess. I do 5 turns, and wet the line very well before a cinch the knot. What could be going wrong?

This is truly a deadly bait. I usually use about a 1/16oz Jighead with it and it works great. I throw it around wood and grass, things like that. I do make a modifacation and I put a curly tail grub on the back. Put that on and you will be good to go. Most of the time, I just do a nice, steady retrieve. It truly works great and I throw it on 6lb monofilament with a 5 foot Cherrywood Berkley Ultralight Rod. Anyone else had great success with this bait like myself?

I noticed the low price tag on this line. Does that mean that it is not a low-stretch, strong Fluro? Anyone like this line? I might use the 14lb for my worms on the bottom.

Use it for big rods and heavy flurocarbon

I am sick and tired of getting "line cutters" that work for a couple of days and then are super dull. These make it to where it's like pulling teeth to get them to cut. Do you guys have any reccomendations for cutters that slice through braid, fluro, and mono like butter and stay that way without getting dull? Thanks!

Anyone use this?

Has anyone used this line?

I used this line today for the first time despite the bad reviews and I loved it. It's linp for a Flurocarbon and strong. I caught 1 lb bass all day and didn't have them break me off. My question is, what do you guys not like about this line?

I just starting getting into using flurocarbon for my texas rigs and jigs and absolutely love it. I'm using Berkely Vanish. What Flurocarbon do you use and why do you like it?

Which one is more sensitive?

I feel most anglers do not use enough of a heavy power rod. It takes a lot of force to get a bass out of cover or just grass. That's why I amost always, for everything, use a Med Hev- heavy Rod. What about u guys?

I will be punching a thin grass mat today. I was thinking about a 6 ounce weight would work right? You want to get the bait through the mat right? Is this too light? Do I need to go to an 8-ounce?

I like about a 4-ounce weight. This seems heavy, but you need it.

Dude that is so insulting. Please quit about Mustad.

I find if you just want to get as many bites as you can, Texas Rig a 4 inch Senko weightless. If the fish are on the bottom, just add a bullet weight. You could really have 3/0 hooks, 1/4oz and 3/8 oz bullet weights, and take only that and catch as many fish as you would like. Anyone else find this?

I feel like a traditional topwater like a PopR is in the strike zone too long. I think the fish have to decide whether to bite it or not. With a buzzbait, I think its an instant reaction bite. They don't have time to sit there and think because that baitfish is getting away. Anyone else feel this way about Buzzbaits?

I think of buzzbaits as only a summer lure. Is this a mistake? My water temp gets to 65 in the spring. Is this too cold to throw a buzz? Thanks

Anyone ever use these? If so, do they work well?

I was pond fisjing today and came across to where I could see about 8 1 lb bass. They were very high in the water collum. I threw everything in the book at them and they could not bite. Ifor you threw a bait at them they would either ignore it or spook. Could this be a tough time of year with males guarding a nest? Any tackle you find works best on fish like this? Thans

I am making a trip to Bass Pro soon and planning on buying a pack of Shakey Heads. What is the best 1/4 oz shakey head in your opinion? I fish around a wooded botom. Also I plan on puting an elaztech fattyz worm on the back of it.
