I've tried all types of gloves and keep coming back to the brown jersey work gloves. I keep multiple pairs so when they get wet I swap. You can cut the fingers out and still tie knots. I also have a thin pair of ua gloves I can wear underneath them. I thought the ua gloves would take the place of the others but they were kind of disappointing

I use them in local ponds as a walking bait. T-rig them walk them like a spook, catches a lot of fish in the shallows .

boogerman and chatterbuzz are the only buzzbaits i use anymore. They are very loud clacker type buzzers. white and black are the only two colors you need imo. if i had only one color i could pick it would be white. I never use a trailer hook and generally only buy 3/8 ounce baits

I have 4 e and 2 I curados and you can't go wrong with either , with the edge going slightly to the I .

It's hard to choose just 1. Ducketts are use the most but I have no problem with my croixs or phenix,

Got to go with the bandit. I just catch more fish with bandit cranks than Norman.

Tried them some when they first came out with no luck. Going to give them another shot come spring.

Just the sides. The material is the same used on boat wraps. I haven't perfected it's use yet but I was getting better with it before I turned my attention elsewhere

Rapala shad raps and dts in black and silver , bandit 100 and 200 series in Louisiana shad color,3 and 5 strike king xds in Tennessee shad and chartreuse perch and rootbeer, are the 3 manufactures I use the most. I have higher end cranks but tend to use these more. Don't forget strike king 1.5s as well

Chrome blue back red eye shad or Excalibur one knocker and chrome black back #5 shad rap are fish catchers during any condition be it sunny or cloudy for me. Throw in a chartreuse root beer bandit and the occasional white crankbait and I'm covered.

What adhesive are you using with the gum wrapper? When I use foil I use epoxy to hide the edges I also use this method with a vinyl chrome that I tried. I'm not a master at it yet but I'm getting better. I still have a problem getting all the air bubbles out when using the vinyl material

The gum wrappers a good idea and it looks good. You can also use Mylar from balloons and I've heard of people using chip bag material also

I use Wiley -x purchased from my eye doc. Very mild perscription and discounted through my eye insurance. I forget the exact price but they were cheaper than buying a regular pair of Wiley-x sunglasses at bps or other retailers

Usually p-line copoly and seagar flouro. Flouro for bottom contact presentation pline for reaction baits. I do use braid when fishing a fluke and frog occasionally (power pro) but it's my least used line type. As far as manufactures go I've used them all but these 3 suite me,although stren works fine as well basically as long as it's not trilene I'll use it

St croix,duckett, phenix are my starting 3 but recently picked up some tatulas and are liking them alot

I use a duckett micro for my bandit duties and believe it would be useful for some Topwater applications but not sure about the jerkbaits

They make great spinnerbaits, wish my walmart carried them. I have seen peppers jigs at walmart lately though

If you can't remove the weedgaurds on all the jigs try electrical heat shrink. You can buy it at electronic supply houses in rolls or sticks and the inside diameter to match the outside diameter of the weedgaurd. This will protect the gaurd from paint and heat while powder painting, but I would recommend skipping the baking process with this batch and just fish them uncured.

Hate them, melted down the ones I had and poured my own. I think I've caught 1 fish on a brush hog but wouldn't swear on it

1/2 oz gets 99% of my lipless fishing, with one knockers getting 85% of that. I use xcalibur oneknockers and red eye shad for a regular rattles. I only carry 1/2oz baits also

I've never owner a cashion but I've had 2 denalis that were ok (kovert,j2) maybe a little heavier feeling rod.

I've got both and wish I would have gotten 2 of the jumbos. I be had numerous binders and none of them end up holding enough.

Not a big fan of the pit boss but I have been using the d bomb some lately and catching a few fish with them. My personnel favorite is the zoom big critter craw for my serious pitching days

They catch fish but are the weakest SB I've ever fished. I have had the wire break on numerous ones, to the point where I don't buy them anymore. They are usually good for two to three fish before you do more straightening than fishing. That's if they haven't broken by then. Just my experience

Shimano fan here as well 2-castaic 200 sf 1-curado 200 e5 1-curado 200 e7 2-curado 50e 1-core 50 mg7 2-curado I 200 1-calais 200-5 1-citica 200 D 1-curado 100 DSV 1-stradic c14 4-saharas 3-sedonas 1-sonora And have owned a few citica Es,more Ds,bantams,and probably forgetting more than a few.Point being you generally can't go wrong with a shimano. Never bought a G so can't comment on them.
