KP Duty

You could be right. That would be totally different than how it was won by Edwin Evers there a few years ago. I don't think livescope was around then.

Just watched the local news here in Tulsa, and they gave the forecast for the Grand lake area. A cold front is going to hit this weekend, and weatherman said 25-40mph winds on Sunday. I hope the chance of rain happens and muddies the water and makes it even tougher to get a limit. Grand is my home lake, and I really learn a lot when the pros fish tough conditions

I'll be there. I live in Tulsa, and my uncle has to work the event (he is Skeeter's regional manager for this area). I think the expo will be pretty cool.

Wish they had a 1/2oz. The 3/4oz may run close to the same depth as a 1/2oz tandem willow I suppose. I'm a massive fan of the flo red kicker blade.

You may be on to something. I was going to pick up a couple at the Spring Classic @ 25% off. BPS is sold out completely. In stote and online. Must be pretty good...

Yes, I switch hands. If I went lefty, I'd still need to use my other hand to hold the rod while I move my right hand from casting to palming position.

Kinami has been out of business for years. My top traps- lv500, Jackal TN 70, and Yozuri 3d vibe.

I won a club tournament in tough post spawn conditions using a 3/16oz Leverage spinnetbait a few years ago. I had a limit while only one other fish was weighed in. It was a small limit, but I felt like a boss 🤴. My answer to the OP is a small finesse jig like the baby boo or bitsy jig, because they work in water from 40-95 degrees 👍. Tiny crank is the runner up for the same reason.

Yeah...ol Hank Parker preached that when I was a kid and he was plugging his Manns spinnerbait.

As someone that sorsn't see well...I'd appreciate the larger eye on those jigs 👍

I used an 843 mbr Loomis for a long time. Great stick, but I imagine the Head Turner (also a 1/4-3/4oz rod) would do just as well. I'm using a 705 Edge first strike ATM...it has an NFC IM blank.

I like JLS best, but order from JLS and Digitaka. More guys are shopping these JDM sites nowdays, so timing is everything. JLS will get a pile of 110's and 110 jrs...you just need to check almost daily for the shipment to get in.

I had access to a rarely fished pond that sounds similar. They'd eat darn near anything I threw. I'd have a t-rigged lizard in the mix for sure....and a white 3/8oz spinnerbait.

I'm glad you are on the forum...you give food for thought on wants vs needs. I know I have rods I don't need, I just don't follow my own advice

Lots of folks like the phenix feather 7'3" XH. I hear it's more of a Heavy+.

I've heard of this happening before (don't remember which company), but it's pretty wild that could happen. Several failures occured for that to ship.

Temple Fork Outfitters mag bass casting rods- 6'9" M and 7'3"ML are $49.99. These sticks are on clearance at TW for $120! I have 1 of each coming. At Sierra, you need $89 to get free shipping. https://www.sierra.com/s~temple-fork-bass/

+1. Add a Smithwick Rogue in there and I'd be set. Back in the day, all jerkbaits were called Rogues, and all tubes were a 'Gitzit'.

Old and questionable. A couple of guys made accounts and posted just once to bash NFC/Edge never to be heard from again. There is a long thread on TT about recent experiences with NFC, and most are positive. I have a Delta 7'2"ML spinning rod, and it is closer to a MH. I figured it is an inshore rating. Nice rod though...

Flat bottom boat trailer for $699 ($665 w/ academy card). *Edit-it's now out of stock* https://www.academy.com/p/mcclain-12-14-single-axle-jon-boat-trailer

The Salamandura is nice, but why did they name it that?!

Yea...all the bronze hook heads are for light line/spinning. Got a few new heads in there to try this year 🎄💥

I have a couple styles of the 'pro' heads (heavier silver hook models). I keep them separate from the light wire heads. I use this one routinely...

+1. Been using them since around 2007. I purchased the complete jigs at first, but now just buy the heads. Some guys complained about the Gammy hook being too thin, so now we have the Fantasy HD. I personally like the lighter wire on the original.
