try the davis baits bill lowen swim jig, i picked up a couple at the beginning of the year last year and i loved them and they have a flat bottom which really help when skipping them, give them a try only like $3.50 goodluck, tight lines

i know that down south bass have probably already started moving up to spawn or they already started so my question is what is your favorite bait for fishing for spawning bass? for me i don't really have a favorite but i love a 6in lizard usually white, and a big bite baits warmouth, so whats your favorite spawning baits?

i don't have a Bb-1 but i do have a couple other lews reels and it all depends, if i get the reel and its smooth ill use it without touching anything but if it starts making some noise or anything ill try putting some oil on the bearings but I've had all my lews for 2 years and have yet to change the bearings, there great reels

when I'm using a spinning setup fishing flukes and if the waters clear ill throw straight 8lb test but if the waters stained at all or I'm fishing it around pads or wood ill throw 20-30lb braid

i bought a couple because for some reason the last 2 months every calibur jerkbait, crankbait, and lipless crankbait have been on sale for $2.99 so i picked up a couple but haven't gotten to use them yet

i have never spent more than $12 on a lure and refuse too

bass fishing during the spawn is my favorite time to fish

I've only used strike king crankbaits and used the rapalas for smallmouth but thanks for the input and one more question i bought a sebile jerkbait, ever thy them?

i think I'm gonna solve my problem and just move down south after school, now near which lake? lake fork of okeechobee lol

which one would you prefer, strike king KVD jerk bait (suspending) or rapala x-rap (suspending)?

you do any ice fishing up there? and that sucks, especially waiting until june, in like mid march ill start to catch some smallmouth in creeks than they stock trout the last saturday of march and once its the first week of april i start to fish pre spawn

I've heard about the latex glove thing so your hands don't get wet and thanks lol i see you put llbean great store

im an xl in gloves so i doubt they'll fit but thanks

what are the best fishing gloves that keep your hands warm but don't get in the way either? thanks and tight lines

i wouldn't know how some of you people down south feel who might complain about a little cold front but right now in pa its like 30 and i haven't gotten out in about a month and a half and cabin fever has been slowly kicking in for a while now i know i usually try to combat this buy going out and buying everything i can that i might need but I'm trying to cut back a little bit so instead of buying I've been on the computer just watching fishing videos and trying to learn something new so my question for everyone is how do you try to handle the months your not able to get out on the water?

well to start, i couldn't use cotton because it holds water and for some reason (bad genes) i sweat uncontrollably lol but i usually just start with a base layer of kenyon polarskins heavyweight for pants and mid weight for a shirt and just go from there if your ever looking for any try sierra trading post they have everything

i fish the legged frogs on the outsides of cover like lily pads and use the stringed frogs every where else

i just bought a couple wake baits to try to use this year i got a couple academy and a couple bill norman wake baits and i was wondering if anyone could give me some insight on fishing them. mostly like what time of year, best colors, or any certain way you can fish them, maybe around wood, grass or anything that can help thanks, tight lines jim

i see one of your favorite lakes to fish is van sciver I've actually been going there for 15 years if you plan on trying to punch there try the lake at the club house, once the grass thickens up with the lily pads i pull a lot of nice ones out of there and especially near the boat launch because of the tournaments they have there I've caught 5 pounders there. and on that lake theres a lot of isolated lily pads that hold some really nice bass, when I'm punching it ill usually use a 1/2 to 1 oz tungeston weight with a 3/0 or 4/0 vmc punching hooks or the owner flipping' hooks, i usually use netbait beavers (watermelon jelly and black shadow work the best for me) or the big bite baits brush pig and if I'm using a punch skirt ill use a z man skirt (3 for $2.89 can't beat that) any questions i can help with just ask goodluck and tight lines, jim

i just got into swim baits last year and my setup is a Daiwa s casting rod 7'4 heavy with an abu garcia ambassadeur sx round casting reel with 60lb power pro so far i love it even though i don't throw swim baits that much, mostly the river 2 sea s-waver 168s if you have any questions i could try to help good luck tight lines, jim

bank fisherman here, but i just went from a bass pro bag to the cabbalas advanced anglers bag which is awesome so far. it comes with 4-3600 boxes and i added a 3601 for terminal tackle and 2 3500 boxes, one for jigs and the other for frogs. for the 3600 boxes, 1 is a spinnerbait box but i put buzzbaits and chatterbaits in there along with spinnerbaits, one of the other 3600 boxes is all hardbaits so crankbaits, all topwater, jerk baits and hard body swim baits and in the other 3600 box is all my jig trailers and lunch baits. inside the bag i have a cabelas bait binder where i put all my scented baits, mostly gambler and i have a gallon freezer bag with mainly worms. this covers every situation i might fish and its not that heavy so definitely works great for walking all day fishing!

tires! i fish a lake that has about 8-10 tires along a bank maybe 5 to 8ft from the bank and when the water starts to heat up i can always count on the tires to hold fish p.s im not making this up i actually read this in an article
