I change hooks on some of my lures but have never changed the split rings. I put some of those vmc sureset hooks on some of my cranks whos hook I have never been impressed with.

WELCOME to the best bass forum on the web

I use tungsten for my worm weights as well as my drop shot rigs wish the stuff was less expensive or a way to pour my own for jigs.

Walmart is undergoing a rebuilding of sorts and trying to cut inventory. They are taking past sales of firearms in each store and fazing firearms out of the stores that have low sales. Walmart is also fazing out the tackle that doesnt sell and having a better quality but less amount of tackle on there sales floor and in inventory. They are by no means doing away with the fishing tackle all together. Think about it one of the top pro tours in the nation sponsors is going to do away with there tackle only way I see that is if they stop sponsoring the FLW.

I have used the 1oz baits in late winter early spring to fish deeper. The 1oz drops faster and great for fishing deep water chunk rock prior to spawn and transition patterns to spawn. In clear water I use anything silver and in darker water I use craw color patterns.

I use a flambeau soft sided box got it on clearance at wallyworld holds 6 3700 boxes plus spinnerbait buzzbait box and room for extras. I wll make one suggestion get one larger than you think you need because the baitmonkey is strong and if you fill you box up with what you already have then you will just have to buy another box to put all the new stuff you will have to have.

WELCOME BACK

I have caught a few small mouth on a strike king clown colored jerk bait and a nice one on a wcct western hula stick. As far as finding fishing reports google the state or the lake for fishing information.

Take a look under links on the forum and look up state links. I know fisher of men have a club in eastern Arkansas but im sure there are more than that happy hunting

Welcom to the best bass fishing forum on the web !!!! There is a ton of information on this sight for the beginner look in the fishing articles it has a section for beginners and keep asking for good advice on here the people here are a big help even to some of us veteran fisherman I never fail to learn something on here.

Check on the forum links under bass tackle shops or tackle manufacturers.

I am with harshman on the spinnerbaits I cut the skirts up to the bottom of the hook. For jigs if its a heavy flippin jig I let the skirt hang down 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch but on light weight swim jigs or finesse jigs I trim the skirts up to 1/4 of a inch of the hook.

I use jigs with rattles in all situations except for extremely clear water I suppose I am of the school of thought that noise is a great attractant to fish.

For the topwater I like to use reaction innovations swamp donkey. I also use yums and zooms on a 5/0 Gammie ewg.

how can one man love only one gun? Im a gunsmith by trade and I own several guns Kimber being my newest purchase I own glocks more than one and s&ws and springfield armory and its not fair Ilove them all.

AWESOME Thanks for sharing saved me some money of purchasing one which I was going to do till you helped out.

I use one that I made myself its kinda on the order of the one you will find in the tackle box on this website. I been keeping one for 10 years now.

Any chance of you posting the plans or where one could get the plans to build one thanks in advance.

Heres a couple more places for you to look as well. Jannsnetcraft http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/skirts-material/ Stamina http://www.staminainc.com/skirts.html

Love the lures but you can keep the snow

I use them if they come on a bait that the company sells that way but I dont buy any for use like with t-rigs or dropshots etc.

According to the commercially available fluid beds they only use 2 to 3 cfm of air to get the powder moving. Heres the link for the instruction for a commercially available one.

Ditto !

I use floro on most all my poles and I do fish jerkbaits with them. I have always used vanish and never had a problem with it.

What ever your budget can or cant afford and everything you ever thought you needed. ;D
