so same baits, same rods, same reels braid got more distance, felt more sensitive, and easier to pick out backlashes

how much difference did you see?

if you want a floater then why bother with an actual gill profile? the bait being taller makes it harder for bass to get in their mouth so it may decrease hook up ratios

yamamoto heart tail

well i talk a good game but the monkey just got me. talked me into an s-waver and a whopper plopper

Normally i fish a spook or buzzbait early in the morning or sometimes a buzzbait throughout the day in shady areas, you can throw a frog all day on mats and pads. i dont worry about seeing topwater activity i just throw it out and they will normally eat it if they're feeding

almost lost a bladed jig i got from @Bluebasser86 a few weeks ago but i snagged the line and was able to get it back

jig rod is always rigged with 15lb abrazX

agreed loctite gel is the best option

So the gf and I went to canadian tire last night for some stuff to finosh my live well and she surprised me and got me a shadow rap

looks awesome how do you like the looks of the phantom perch

you do realize when they're reeling in a staged catch and talking about the lure its probably bull right

i lean towards a jig because where i fish doesn't have mats we only really have pad beds so i don't need to punch through it just find a hole. now i still use a t-rig at times because i just like fishing it but i find a jig can be a little more versatile and if there are rocks under that pad bed i might not get hung up as easy

pretty sure almost everyone here uses trays i fit 6 of them into an under armor gym bag and 3 more with almost all of my soft plastics in a shimano tackle bag

now that's bait monkey propaganda if i ever heard it

for me it's a battle of time if i hold onto something long enough while standing in a shop i think so do i really need this or am i just buying it because i want it. you need to wait for that impulse to pass and you make a decent decision

just waiting for it to show up on youtube. this is definitely something i want to get into more i've been practicing and i'm not doing to bad skipping just need to be able to put it to use

swimbaits like mattlures ultimate gills, mattlures hard gills, jackall gantarels

VOK make some small frogs i think it's 1/4oz and called the samurai frog

i have both popping and regular but mainly throw the popping i have natural green and ole smokey

senko or fluke I have one or the other tied on at all times i'm not a huge spinnerbait fan though so i can't speak to that specifically

if you are more comfortable with spinning then go for it that setup sounds like it would do the job

i have my collection of xrk75's

this was basically my plan i was going to make a lid with another piece of plastic cut a square section out and reattach it with a hinge so i have a lid i can open and close then put another container in the boat and fill it when i have to move

okay so i saw something kinda cool the other day and i've decided to make one myself, i'm talking about a laundry basket livewell. the concept is simple, take a laundry basket, drill holes in the bottom (if needed),tie a pool noodle around the top rim, tie to boat, put it in the water.
