i bought some supplies last night to get into tying my own jigs i'm fairly excited to try to tie some hair jigs and feathered trebbles i did a couple last night they are pretty rough but i will post them when i get home

forgot which jig i fish these on i have multiple favourites but it really depends on what im doing fishing trees i love the rage blade because of the design for slow rolling i love the siebert fogy i find the football head is easier to work slow for everything else i like claytons bladed jigs the head are just perfect

gambler little ez: moderate action very heavy side to side kick (when i'm fishing them over trees) havoc subwoofer: has more action (normally when i'm running baits fast) keitech swing impact fat: a lot of action at slow speed (when slow rolling)

3/8oz arky head jig with a burner craw or a chigger craw

black

this is one of my absolute favourite rods i use mine for lipless, and medium depth cranks

i would like tom improve on a few things. the first is fishing cranks effectively, second is having the patience to fish jigs and worms deep and third is find out out more about the lake. if that means using my ibobber to find out about whats underwater and where the ledges are than that's what i'll do

1-4 shallow 6-10 medium 10-20 deep

took a little trip to the fishing show yesterday and picked up a few things. i got 2 packs of havoc pit bosses 1 junebug, 1 black/blue fleck, 2 packs of craw fattys 1 green pumpkin, 1 green pumpkin blue and 2 packs of chigger quads 1 green pumpkin purple and 1 black/blue fleck. i also picked up a cool crank made by a local company it's about 5" long and 2oz dives 6"-8". i also grabbed a livetarget perch swimbait.

looks like a bagely b2

dammit mike why do you make me spend so much money

okay a chatterbait is one of my favourites to fish and through fishing it i can say i very much agree with Brett Hite. I think of it more as a squarebill or a rattle trap than a swim jig. I know people think this may be wrong but I fish it more so where I fish a squarebill or a rattle trap more than a spinnerbait or swim jig, let's look at 2 tournaments brett hite won on a chatterbait the FLW on okeechobee his main patterns were throwing a chatterbait and flipping, now when he throws a chatterbait it is on a fiberglass rod that is more like a cranking stick than a rod you would fish a jig on it's not a fast action it's a moderate glass rod. now im going to compare what i have done i used to fish my chatterbaits on a MH/F rod but i have switched to a MH/M and since doing so i have felt as if i have much more control over the fish and a lot more sensitivity. to me i fish it like a squarebill or a crank where when you don't feel the vibration you pop it or try to clear the grass, in doing this i have found i hook up a lot more i haven't kept track but i caught maybe 5 chatterbait fish with my MH/F in a year and i have had days where i've caught 10 or more on my MH/M to me being able to feel that vibration is the key to a chatterbait i'm not a fan of fishing it on a jig rod i don't feel as much and i don't feel it gives the bait enough freedom and i feel like i loose fish because of it. Brett's other big win came at the bassmaster elite on seminole he fished the same setup and targeted pre spwan bass that were in grass beds, the key was fishing it like a rattle trap where you make contact with the grass and pop it free, there are a few interviews with him where he talks about why he uses what he does in more detail. for me i think working it like a crank and not like a jig has proven much better but that's up to you if you want to do that

okay a few questions for you what setup are you fishing it on? how clear is the water you're fishing? how pressured is the water you're fishing?

i personally like seaguar invizX i have sniper on my cranking rod but invizx and abrazx on the other fluro setups

senkos, t-rigs, spook, buzzbait, spinnerbait, chatterbait

yep it's not easy instead i just "try to catch rock bass"

try living in ontario where you are not allowed to legally fish for bass until the 4th saturday in june

i personally go cheep on a topwater rod sensitivity isn't something that is really required so i would say pickup anything you like in the $100 range i use a bps graphite series and i've never had an issue with it

i find i learn more from raw footage of pros and reading than anything else

i like the keitech swing impact fat as well as the havoc subwoofer for trailers i see no reason for a weedguard if you don't have cover but if you are going to explore new places you might want to keep them on
