Good to know, thanks

Why do you use an EWG over a round bend? (just curious)

T rigged senko, 4", no weight

H20 express makes a nice one

Yum dingers are what I started with, don't really see a reason to switch up too much. but I did break down and buy a bag of stick o's this fall and will test them out in the spring

Thanks, I'm just trying to get some insight from an expert

Would it make sense to use the same spinning setup for flukes and soft jerkbaits ?

Question: I know that you can use spinning outfits for any technique, but is there any advantage to using BC gear for jerkbaits instead? I've heard KVD talk about his jerkbait rod (BC) but he never really gave the pros and cons of each.

Can't beat it, especially for the price

Go buy a smaller 16 pack and decide for yourself. Im gonna try this out in the spring myself. But the price per bait is close to Yum (in 16 count bags) so I would suggest that you pull the trigger anyway. Hard to believe that they wouldn't work

Yum dingers are what I started bass fishing with and they're still tough to beat on slow days That said- i bought a bag of bps stik o's back in November but I'm gonna have to wait until spring to see if i like them or not

Top 5 (no real order) 1. KVD 1.5 2. Rebel bluegill 3. Bomber square a 4. H20 express crs 5. Bandit footloose Honorable mentions: Rebel wee r and Bass Pro XPS squarebills

That will slay bluegills, panfish, and little bass. I use Rebel teeny wee r's a lot

Plano 3600 guide series bag (man I love this thing) Various plastics/terminal tackle

I'm wondering if there is an optimal color for the single-blade spinnerbait? White?

Yea Bass Pro XPS hooks are pretty cool, my go-to hooks usually

Or location

finesse worm (zoom or Berkley)

Anybody have any experience with these? Are they a good buy at $25 or would you be better off buying something else (lightning rod on sale, AMP, Cabela's fish eagle, etc)

I don't surf fish a lot, but I can definitely say that timing is critical.

This.

I had a rebel super wee r that I loved. I used to catch panfish and little bass by the dozen with that thing. I would do just about anything to get it back when I had it. then I snagged a big channel cat with it. I fought him as hard as I could, but he snapped 6lb. mono, my crank still stuck in his back. Now i use 15 lb. braid for panfish (with a leader)
