Tubez and Danielson jig heads
To be fair I never tried the Danielson tube heads but I have used some of their other products and was never really impressed with it. They are dirt cheap for a reason

Where to watch MLF
They use to have an extended cast deal where you could pay to watch episodes but they got rid of it for some reason. I recently was wanting to watch the alpena michigan series and like you looked and looked but couldn't find anythjng so I sent them an email and they replied back that they was working on improving the extended cast and was hoping it would be done by the first quarter of this year but they said it got delayed and should be up and running by the end of th 2nd quarter so maybe check again on their website around June or July.

Best Setup For Bank Stocked Trout
I agree with this also have found corn tiny minnows night crawlers maggots and tiny marshmellows (color kind works better for me). I fish these on same rigs I use for panfish ultra light 4lb test and either tight line on bottom or use a bobber. I also really love using inline spinners and the strike mini cranks after a week or two of being stocked. I have found that instinct takes over on the ones left after the week or two after stocking even though they was raised on a fish farm they will eventually relize that there won't be no timed feeding and they will start find other food

Preparing larger catfish?
Alright this may sound funny and I swear it's not a joke but when I catch catfish to eat I fillet em up and put them in a freezer bag of half milk and half water with a little salt. Soak them over night or put them in the freezer for another time. Also if they are pretty decent size I have always been told to cut the fillet up in to nuggets.

What's this
Quick question I received a spinning reel I bought today in the mail and in the box was this thing. Was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is looks like it might peel and stick to the spool or something but I'm not sure

New to Smallies
I would suggest taking the time to read as much as you can this is the best forum on the net to study. It's not something you can really learn over night

Lew's Tournament Pro HP spinning Reel
I own one lews spinning reel (tournament speed spin) and I have regretted buying it ever since I bought it last year. It's been nothing but trouble. It's not smooth what so ever and there is a clicking noise that I can feel and here turning the handle. They do make some great baitcasters but I honestly stay away from the spinning reels. Maybe look at pflueger in that price range.

Kvd line and lure freezing?
Quick question to anyone who can help. I accidentally left a almost new bottle of kvd conditioner on a shelf in my garage and it froze completely. Now my question is right on the bottle it says do not let freeze. Anyone know if it will still work even a little bit or am I out 9 bucks lol
-
Rapala new bait?
With the swimbait/glide bait market so hot right now I bet it's a version of one of those. Which would also make sense why they are releasing it at the classic since alot of anglers use those swimbaits/glide baits in the prespawn

Looking for advice on line
Never tried yo zuri but I have used mccoy copolymer on my spinning reel before and never once had a problem with it. Strong and virtually no memory. 8 lbs test is what I was using

Soft plastics.
Ptl tubes and jp shad. Zoom flukes swimming flukes and salty tubes. Strike king rage series and coffee tubes. Custom poured swimbaits these make up about 90% of my soft plastic other 10% is complete randomness lol

Swimbait hooks
Ya if you can get away with the open hook. I fish most of my swimbaits this way. The main cover I'm fishing is rip rap with minimum vegetation.

Favorite Smallmouth technique
I love throwing 3 to 5 inch paddle tail swimbaits. I can throw them all day with out a bite and still have confidence in them. Caught my PB smallie on a 3.5 inch swimbait.

Swimbait hooks
Not sure how your rigging them now but if your able to put them on a jig head and fish them with a open hook. I don't want to say my hook up ratio is perfect but it's in the 90% range.
