If you ask five river anglers, you'll get five answers. For me, I am crawling soft craws along weedbeds and timber.

I need to find a suitable canoe or yak for cheap first.

James River for smallmouth, Table Rock if lakes are your bag, Taney for trout and if you choose Pomme de Terre for muskie.

I gotta meet up with some of these bass-tards and get fish catching tips since I don't fish stillwater much and am waaay behind the 8 ball. Who do I make the $19.99 out to? It'll be in used jigheads, hope that's alright.

I am a creature of habit. If a Red Eye Spinnerbait caught a bass from a certain log in March thre Marches ago, I will toss it again. I have probably 80% of my hardbaits that haven't seen water. In the creeks up here, I toss plastics rigged weedless so I get them back.

The C3 is a legend. Don't skimp on these reels. The bearings are of higher quality and the reel just feels better.

I need to get a paddle craft to explore the local lakes, but until then, creeks are where it's at.

Warts. I can get bit on Shad Raps or DTs, but Warts are a no go for me.

Worms aren't in my top five baits, but if all else fails, they get a chance.

Toss some UV Speed Craws, Pit Boss Jr or a Zip N Ziggy.

Jitterbug and a Zip N Ziggy...not too confident in either.

Shimano Curado 200B, available all day for $65 or so, speaking of which, there's one in the flea market.

I want to find a decent sling pack for a good price.

The current record isn't Perry, the Kurita fish was heavier. 22.25 <22.311. It is already a Biwa Bass. To acknowledge the Perry bass is foolish.

Yes and no. One sits more tail down than the other and one walks easier, IMO. I have both and fish both, but I prefer the Sexy Dawg Jr.

They are different in action and their effectiveness depends on conditions. You will want them both!

Im about 5'7" and I like my casting rods at 5'6" and spinning rods at 6'. I fish from either a canoe or yak and don't fish big water.

Vanish is awful stuff.

I had a Calcutta 100 that I strongly regret selling. It was fantastic!

Wow, good to know. Please keep us posted. Those old reels are tanks and just don't die.

Interesting, I am currently using a 5.5' casting combo with 10l lb CX Premium. I use shallow cranks, jigeads to 1/4oz, plastics, 3/16oz spinnerbaits and one 1/8oz buzzbait and a zip n ziggy. This handles what I routinely do with aplomb. The rod is a 5'6" M from Academy.

I'm familiar with the CR721 and think it would work well for me, but $250 for a stick to beat around the brush? Yikes!

I want to know, what rod/reel, tackle bag, lure selection, etc. I'm looking at upgrading a few things and new food for thought. Thanks!
