Scroungers
After searching honestly I'd like to hear more opinions on the lure. How do you use it, when do you use it? What do you use on it? It's one of two baits I'm trying to incorporate into the new year. The other being the chatter bait. Anyway, how to you use it? What times of year etc.

Looking for recommendations - Freshwater Trout/Smallmouth Bass
St croix tournament bass rod. You can't go wrong with this rod at half your budget cost. I had this rod, and I miss it greatly. It's the one rod I regret selling when I switched companies.

Could You Beat Kvd 1 Vs 1 If All He Could Use Is A Cheap Spincaster?
In my lake, with my gear, no electronics for either of us and he gets a spincaster? I'd have a chance. Not a great chance, but still a chance.

Unpopular
I don't want to have to go to general to help with reels, tackle to help with knots, and other species to help with line and rod choices. Having moved notations is far less annoying than looking through six sub sections for one subject.

keep getting snagged
I've had days fishing that I look back and it makes me shed a tear at the number of baits i lost and the cost. I've lost countless 8 dollar and up lipless cranks. They seem to be the worst for me, but like everyone else said its the name of the game. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Abu Garcia Black Max
I feel like once a week we answer a question about this reel. Is it great? No, not by any stretch of the imagination. It is however the best baitcaster you'll find anywhere for under 70 dollars retail.

What lb mono backing for braid?
I use literally whatever I have on hand. I just spooled a new ***, all I had was high end flouro, so its backed with that.

Best terminal tackle storage ideas
I cut a peice of foam to glue to the top of plano boxes, and glue the dividers to the base. That keeps everything where it needs to be.

Beginner bass fishing
Soft plastics, worms from biospawn, biospawn vile craw, strike king rage pit boss, zoom flukes, some tubes from whatever brand I'm not particular on this. You'll also want to pick up a couple spinner baits. Good luck have fun.

What kinds of lakes hold crawfish?
You can find a craw in a mud pile 100 yards from a lake hiding in cover. If it has water in the continental united states it has craw fish.
-
Soft Plastics
If I had to pick a single company it would be a coin flip decision between zoom and biospawn. Zoom offers more options, but I love the quality biospawn has for it's limited array.
