Fenwick Silverhawk, great price, great guides, great reel seat, plenty of size/action options.

What did you do to preface your thread with that?

I use U-40 on all of my cork and in my opinion it in no way effects feel, color or performance.

I like the 110, but I like the McRip better!

I've got three and they're all holding up well. I love jerkbaits but my home lake is pretty murky. I went with the carbon color and it's been effective. Moss back shiner is great on the river.

Creme Scoundrels in the "Live" color. You can find them almost everywhere for a buck or two.

I use 14lb on my worm and jig rod. Love it.

will they catch fish though?

I looked into that and couldn't ship any of the frost colors to my nearest DSG.

went to dicks.. on their website it said they had them in stock but there was nothing there. I'm starting to consider these frost colors.

When I fish the delaware I usually stick with jerkbaits, both suspending and floating. I don't know what it is but it really triggers angry strikes. I don't often use jigs on the river unless I am swimming them, but the smallie bite is always on.

Catch the fish first..

I think I'm going to try my luck at DSG today and grab the deep variant in Carbon and Copper.

I really like Creme Scoundrels.. they're not the heaviest but I don't have any problems casting them on a lews tp and M/F.

I really enjoy jerkbait fishing and I certainly have far too many. Pointers 78 & 100 are great, McSticks are nice but don't sleep on the McRip when aiming for deeper waters. Duo and Jackall have a nice jerkbaits too. One company that goes under the radar but does a good job is Baker with their JLD1's and 2's. On the river shad colors do well but on lakes near me dark colors really excel in the murky water. Every jerkbait is going to need a bit of a tune, it's part of the fun. You'll sort out which make works for you pretty quickly. There's a lot of great choices out there.

at the Expo outside Philadelphia today Precision Tackle had a 50% off bin filled with lucky craft, spro, ima, 6th sense.. mind blowing. Grabbed two pointers and two mcrips for $28!

Got a little sneak peak at the Outdoor Expo today. Felt nice, flat sides, bigger profile, 9mm. Really glided around in the tank.

deadly black illusion

2/0 Owner Mosquito's are my favorite..

whats wrong with the rapala knot?

Most action you can get out of a soft plastic.

I went with 14lb for my new jig and worm outfit.

wow spinnerbaits this early in the year.. Congratulations to him

Going off of Lucky Craft and Megabass.. it seems whatever they create is reflective of their cost of R&D. Then the "lesser" brands just mimic all their hard work.

I don't think anything is going to stop innovation. Crankbaits will forever evolve. That said, I have a few DD22's and Little N's that I rarely use, and I don't have any Bandit lures. It doesn't really bother me that they are now under an umbrella of a larger corp. Spro and Jackall have been big for me lately when I can find them for cheap.
