BASS302

Happy Birthday! Thanks for all of the bass information you pass on to us. Thanks for providing copies of articles you have written. Thanks for the photos & diagrams for the lures you have made (like the twin spin).

I was looking through the 2023 Master Angler section in the July issue of In-Fisherman magazine, and for crappie the longest listed is 22 inches. Is this possible? That's longer than my PB Largemouth Bass! How much would a crappie that length weigh?

@gimruis, I don't think that is a McLaren F1. The McLaren F1 had an air intake on the top of the car.

@Ohioguy25, Snippet from the Bill Lewis catalog:

Tackle Warehouse has Bomber Gen 2 lures for $3.99.

@Bankbeater, Maybe a Mann's Hackleback Rooter? (I think that's what it was called)

@A-Jay, That's weird.

There will be two broods this year.

I tried looking at the listings at the Pure Fishing site and there seems to be no selection for it. However, when I used their search, it magically appears. I typed "beetle" into the search function at the Pure Fishing site and seven things appeared. They need to update their website to make beetlespin a selectable option.

Congratulations!

I also don't remember what that lure is called. It's the oldest lure I own. Pflueger tandem spinner?

@Ohioguy25, check to see what weight, in grams, is listed on the box. Someone probably converted weights incorrectly for the label. 0.4 ounces is approximately 12 grams. Lucky Craft is a Japanese company, so they probably use the metric system.

@fin, Good luck and I hope you catch a bunch of huge bass on it!

@fin, I've tried this, but found a regular spinnerbait worked better for my needs in the lakes I fish. It's nice to see others try out/experiment with things. I've also tried adding a "chatter blade" to the front of a weedless spoon.

@N Florida Mike Is that a nutria (coypu)? I've never seen a live one, uh, never seen a dead one - you know what I mean.
