1&3 check out true south custom lures they are amazing. Hand tied double powder baked heads and amazing colors.

Most Ohio lakes only have panfish and lots of craws that's atleast how it is in the 10 that I have fished

Zoom lizards 6 or 8 inch 4/0 EWG

Maybe there looking for a quarterback for Sunday

If your going that time focus on the shad and go from there as far as bait choice

Creme

BPS or smith wick I dunno

Probably not the only a rig I throw is a Shane's baits finesse rig. Also is the longer rod better or does it not Mat

Thanks for your help I'm going to go with the okuma and 300 series Cardiff

Will do thanks for the help. and I was planning on braid with a flouro or mono leader depending on conditions. Also how big are the 200 and 300 series as far as the fit in your hand? That Lexa looks very nice, do you recommend it because of a out of line capacity ?

I was planning on a lews super duty unless you can recommend anything better for that price range

It looks to be a velociraptor or most commonly known as a Chris bosh

I'm trying to figure out what rod to use for at most a 3 ounce swim bait and a least a 1 ounce I can't pick between a Powell inferno or a okuma guide series big bait rod. Any suggestions max budget is 150$

I just received my BASS and FLW magazines in the mail both had several new baits 5 from yum 1. Thump in dinger senko with a curly tail 6 inch 2. Swim in dinger basically a swim senko 4 and 5 inch 3. Kill shot a flat grub with a ribbed body and a raised tail ridge it 3 and 3/4 of a inch 4. Warning shot ribbed body with a small and thin tail 3 and 3/4 of a inch 5. Sharp shooter smooth robo worm like body with a spear head tail 4 and 1/2 and 6 inch So I'm thinking there's some new baits coming out over at yum also TWH only has 4 yum baits

^ I'm referring to the bait ball line of lures

That was a crappie joke

^ I do agree with that the fish want something new but I fish 2 states throughout the year (ohio and sc) I had more succes with a x caliber square bill over loppers and Livingston. It's different for everyone every where, it could just be a confidence thing

I remember one from a few years ago that had a light in the back. They claimed it had caught 1,200 fish in 4 days they were about 15 dollars a piece never did catch a fish on one. They were straight yellow red and blue on 3 different lures. I beleive it was in field and stream.

^ I thought it was on a DT-6 or 10

^ or a 10 inch power worm he's used to having 10 inches in his mouth..... I had to say it

Lately there have been some new lures coming out with sounds and light (Livingston lures) or the koppers bait ball line. How do you feel about these do they work or just for the looks of the fisherman?

If you want to narrow down skirted jigs you really only need 3 to 4 head types. The best all around to me is the Arkie head you can do a lot with it skip, swim, cast whatever you feel like. Next i would put a grass jig it's very weed less and easy to master, and it often produces. After I would put a football head this works best for fishing rocks and fishing deeper water. Next I would put a finesse jig just for when the fish are finicky. The other types of jigs chatter, swim jig I see more in the spinner bait category if a spinner bait is just a little to much or if the water is clear go with the swim jig. Same goes for under spins if 2 blades are to much throw the underspins. Now we get to jig heads, shakey head being a personal favorite I normally have a shakey head tied on its very reliable and easy to fish you always want to use a work with little to no salt this is because the tail will float and have more action. That's just how I break it down also if your looking at a good jig company I strongly suggest true south custom lures. Hope this helps.

It starts Black Friday west coast time. And for Christmas they have the 25 days of sales
