Ned Rig or Jackall Flick Shake 4.8. Fantastic in cold water.

I caught one that size this spring on an SK R.E.S.

Smallies will be in the heads and tails of pools, feeding voraciously, largemouth will be in the slack water all year.

The TD is a killer river bait. This post reminds me that I need to order a few more.

Revenge Swim Jigs in 1/4oz, orange chameleon has produced best for me this year, followed by a C+C Custom Baits 1/4 in bluegill, both with a Zoom UV Speed Craw trailer.

Is the MS Slammer Mini small enough for a MH rod?

Clayton, can you pour 1/32 Ned heads? I'm digging the 1/16 you pour quite a bit. I'll be in touch for more this winter.

I'm glad other people use a spinning rod with topwaters. I'm looking at going out for an hour or so a couple days this week after work with a Damiki Dolphin, Pop R and a Gunfish.

Hey its all good. I'm just needing to find a good affordable used lefty then.

A little back story, I use right handed casting reels for my power baits, buzzbaits, cranks, swim jigs, etc, but I cannot walk the dog with the rod in my right hand. I use my spinning rod when walking them now, but I'm curious if anone else switches hands when using certain techniques. My casting reel is a Smoke 150 that I love quite a bit for tossing baits a long way. If I could find something like a well used 151 or a 101, it'd be ideal, but I don't know. Am I alone?

I didn't catch anything on a WP, but I have on the Gunfish. Also a Sexy Dawg Jr is a killer bait!

I have no confidence in poppers, but might have to try it this week as I have one of the 3" Pop R in bass, and several walkers that I love fishing, but don't have the experience.

Hey all, the question is simple, what's your favorite topwater for fall and what rod and reel do you toss it on?

Okay, that may be my issue is pulling it.

I have caught 2 bass on flukes. I like them, but I haven't had success. I just need to use them more I guess. Any advice for someone shorebound?

As I fish shallow, shoreline cover and rivers, I'm comfortable with a 6'M/MF with 10lb CXX on it. It just works for me.

Swim jigs have been my favorite lures this year. I have used the Revenge 1/4oz in orange chameleon and I have a handful of jigs from C+C that are, I believe, 3/8oz. They're versatile baits that can imitate any range of things. I put a Zoom UV Speed Craw on my bluegill colored baits but still need to pick up something like a Speed Shad for the white ones.

The Ned Rig is not a Senko or even a derivative of one. The material is different, it floats and it is durable, unlike a Senko. Also, you can use any number of small baits on the Ned Rig.

Baldwin City, stopped my swim jig dead in its tracks.

Done!

Caught my biggest of the year this morning on a swim jig.

No, I traded for some of the Slash baits.

They're shaped identical to an XRAP is why I asked.

I just traded for the top 5 baits in row B. I know three of them are Rapala. Two XRAP and one Clackin Rap, but what are the clown one and the pink one? Rapala is written on the bills of the others, but those are unmarked. Just curious.

I've seen the ordinary greens and browns, with a free reds, oranges and blues thrown in. They're a fascinating family of creatures.
