What plastic for these large shaky heads??
Any large worm. I have some of the Owner mag shakey heads in my cart @ TW...they come in either 8/0 or 9/0. Going to use them on the 9.8" flick shake worms I picked up on sale. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Owner_Magnum_Shakey_Football_Head_3pk/descpage-OMSH.html

Swim Bait Rod Choice: Loomis Pro 966, Dobyns Champion 806, Megabass Levante
IMX-Pro would be my choice. I'm looking to purchase one that is a little less powerful than you are looking at. I have several of the IMX-Pro CBR's, and they are fantastic.

She did it!
Congrats! I live in Tulsa, and for those that don't know...Tulsa University isn't a state school. It's private and pricey! Not easy to get in there....

Pending Line Class World Record OH Ivie
Meh. I saw this yesterday. She was with a guide using livescope. "Put your bait right there, and I'll tell you when to set the hook". About as impressive as catching a big fish on a bed.

Yay! I i found a great bait even more $$ than a Yamamoto Senko.
Haven't tried the OSP beaver...it looks similar to the brush hogs I use with the swim tails trimmed. The dolive craws are money, and I'm going to try the shrimp next order.... Dolive shrimp...

Nice...the curado 150 gets stellar reviews. I haven't owned a shimano casting reel since the mg50...about 17 years ago. Maybe this year I'll buy one.

Flipping a Tube
I use the 4/0 for the 4 or 4.5" tubes.

Flipping a Tube
I couldn't find a weighted hook I like for pitching tubes, so I use these hooks: And then I crimp a split shot or bullet weight on the shank of the hook...

I want a new rod
I want a new rod...one that won't make me sick....one that won't make me crash my car, or make me feel 3 feet thick. ?

Picasso Smart Mouth
It would definitely give new life to some softbaits that are collecting dust. I was wondering how the 1/8oz 3/0 would behave with an elaztech bait.

A premium inline spinner. I will be adding one to my next order.... https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Picasso_Weedless_Smart_Mouth_Inline_Spinner/descpage-PSMIS.html

Maxima One Shot?
'One-shot' means enough line for one reel. Berkley calls them 'pony spools', and they contain 100m of line. Maxima offers their Chameleon line in a one-shot spool.

Moving baits rod question
It honestly depends on the rod series/model as to whether a MH/F will do well IMO. The Tatula I have (6'6"M/Fast) is a little too stiff for jerkbait duty, so I had to find another use for it. I bet the Tatula MH/F casting rods have stiffer blanks, and not what I'd want for single hook moving baits. Maybe soneone who owns one will correct me. I like an MBR style MH/F for spinner/chatter & paddletails. Basically a fast rod with some tip. The Daiwa rods listed as 'regular' tapered rods are closer to an MBR style rod than they are to a fiberglass style crankin' rod.

I'm thinking she will wear a 9.1 Zillion with some 14lb line for light/medium t-rig/jighead.

Show off your Stuff
Nice. Something funny- since you joined this site....I've read your screen name as 'Chump'. My eyesight isn't very good, and I guess my eyes were 'auto-correcting'. You liked my post a minute ago, and my phone was zoomed in when I read the notification. I was like Cbump? Is this a new member? And then I saw he was using Chump's picture! That's when I made the realization ? .

Do you find crank baits to be any more effective than soft paddle tails for river/creek smallmouth?
Lol. Yep...and this answer will work when comparing any two baits in our arsenals.

Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
Received my Savage.Gear Black Ops casting rods yesterday....7'6"MH and 7'11"H. They are on sale for $199. I had purchased the 7'3"MH last fall, so I was already familiar with this series. 42T blanks/Fuji K Titanium/SiC inserts and the roomiest reel seat I've held. All the models are very light weight, but the 7'6"MH/Fast (3/8-1 1/4oz) is in another league. It feels lighter and more balanced than my 7'4"MH Poison Glorious. I literally checked the rods length to make sure they didn't send me the 7'1"MH. I don't have a sufficient scale, but I bet the 7'6"MH weighs 4oz. 7'6"MH balance point...

RIP Jerry Springer
Just heard he passed earlier today. Apparently a few months ago he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and took a turn for the worse this week. I learned he was mayor of Cincinnati before becoming the host of his infamous show. When people are diagnosed with a disease and pass away not long after, it really makes you realuze you can't put things off.
