i don't get why people rag on BPS so much, yes the prices are a little higher but realistically they are a good supplier they will likely have most of what you need, and for some people it's easier especially since shipping could be a factor. for me BPS is one of the places i shop because the exchange rate and shipping almost kills me when i order from tackle warehouse so the deal has to be worth it. no like saving $1 on an item

chatterbaits i feel like i have them dialed in pretty well. i'm getting better at skipping too that could be because the water is frozen though

i figured it was better to be safe than sorry

one thing to be careful with the t3 frame i don't know if it will happen to you but the tackle review team had braid on theirs and it grooved into the plastic

hard to beat a buzzbait. it covers water, normally gets hit by the aggressive ones, it's pretty weedless, has a decent hookup ratio

so i was at bass pro a little while ago and looked for pit bosses i didn't see them in havoc bags however it seems they are no part of the powerbait line instead i have not picked any up to see if they are the same bait but i can only assume they are with the powerbait scent. does anyone know anything about this? i would assume it is just so they can charge more because they have realized they are a product that sells well.

either a senko or a weightless fluke

i think he's fishing it over a football jig not instead of a punch weight

i haven't found any with a skirt collar but reins does sell a sliding football head

personally i like the shad rap and the clackin' rap but the dt series are always good too i also forgot about the x-rap subwalk

i only ever used them as a swim jig or bladed swim jig trailer

that was my plan and then my parents surprised me with a 7'11" veritas winch

she is now spooled up with 12 lb abraz-x fluro and sitting on my 7'10" ike delay series

i'm half in half out i have most of my plastics live out of the package in planos other than the ones i know need to be in their own packaging like z-man, anything that may dry out like pork chunks or anything that comes in a clam shell like the rage tail series or keitechs

my zillion-tws came in today i love the feel of this reel i can't wait to spool it up

arizona dragonfly says right above the bar-code

glad you like them chris i was looking at reports for your local lake and tried to figure out what i would throw

a 7" savage gear 3d trout caught me a nice 5.6 during the pre-spawn when the water was just about 60o

Okay this may be a little harsh but just hear me out. At the end of the day your kids are going to see things, it is how you talk to them about it that matters, just sending them on their way is the issue or not caring at all. One of the main issues i see is there doesn't seem to be any actual parenting going on anymore, because it's easier to give the kid a phone or distract them or hide things instead of taking the time to actually parent them. Yes i understand that kids are going to see things you may not like and you may not be able to do anything about it, but why are you not actively talking to your kids, seeing if they have questions, paying attention to what they're doing, who they're hanging out with. Do you know why? because it's hard work being a parent and a lot of people have gotten lazy. where if you take the time to talk to your kids and take an active roll in their lives and then teaching them values based on your experience maybe they'll learn. But sometimes kids have to make mistakes too and honestly sheltering them from the world doesn't do that. I'm sick of people trying to hide everything that they deem "offensive" or "dangerous" the world doesn't conform to you, money is the biggest factor in anything if someone pays for an ad in a magazine or on tv then they have earned that right to have it there. kids need to learn about drinking and smoking regardless of how unhealthy it is and it's you're responsibility as a parent to talk to them about it. so don't blame B.A.S.S for allowing someone to have an ad, because they paid for it to be there the product is legal it exists in the world. Hiding it from them does nothing, heck maybe it makes them more curious about what it is and if they should try it. giving your kids knowledge is more important than anything else. you also need to seriously look at who the target audience is. most people watching a tournament on tv or reading bassmaster magazine are of legal age. that means that the advertisers who place ads are going to think about what these people like, wouldn't you like a cold beer after fishing all day? i would and i'm an adult so i'll have one. i know this is a big rant, but seriously guys why does everything have to be censored? is it that big a deal? maybe my way of thinking is a little old school but this is how i was raised and i don't think it's unreasonable to actually parent.

i've used them a couple times before mine got stuck in a tree, they work decently they don't seem to fall on a slack line very well but geez are they loud i could here them from about 10' away underwater

santa brought a 7'10" abu garcia ike series crankbait rod as well as a 7'11" abu garcia veritas winch series rod i also picked up a 5.5:1 zillion tws for myself

jackall aska sr, xcalibur xcs 200, bagley b2 i use the yo-zuri prisim just not in the squarebills and they have caught fish for me in the past

agreed i love throwing a chatterbait on windy days though i love throwing it every other day as well. spinnerbaits are also good as well as lipless cranks

Doesn't really matter to me I use black, green pumpkin, red whatever I can get my hands on I don't think it really effects the bite

Glad it got there okay I hope you like it
