Yamatanuki T rigged

Where have I fished at? Shore, back deck, front deck and side rails when throwing up.

If you will be fishing braid I would lean to the 744 but with straight Floro, the 745.

A bladed jig is a jig, a vibrating jig. Take the time to observe how it moves, changes direction and falls with different trailers. The key for me is knowing how the baits moves based on my retrieves and rod movements. Just understand it’s jig.

I retie every time I remember to bring a pair of reading glasses.

Yamatanuki in baby bass color. I use an Owner 4/0 screw lock hook and 12 lb Floro. I pitch them just like a jig. They fall faster than a Senko and provide a more erratic motion when you lift and drop. It’s a fun bait to fish.

Something wide and flat and something long and slender.

Summer All Stars memorial tournament today. The best.

1/2 Scrounger with a Basstrix is a killer at Clear Lake. They are more stables than you would believe.

It’s Amazon. Send it back.

Sounds great. The first trip I’ll break off the crappie jig and then I can get back to normal.

Dobyns Champion 736C Dobyns Xtreme 746C NFC Edge. EX Pro MBR 738C Drop by the house anytime and check them out.

Reels. I am more apt to sell or donate older rods but hang on to reels. I have way to many of each.

Oh no. Here comes Doug with some off the wall response. Here you go: Dobyns Mavericks are being blown out on Amazon for as little as 35 bucks. Eleven bearings, good effective cast control system in 7:2 ratio with 100 MM handle! Are you insane? Nope. These reels are better than they’ve been given credit for. You can also just jump to a JDM Zillion and call it a day.

Xtreme 743C. A 5 inch Senko weighs about 3/8 of an ounce.

4.5

Spunk Shad

30 Ib J Braid with an 18 inch leader of 15 pound mono. Long casts, sharp twitches, easy hook sets, and the mono keeps the soft braid from rolling on itself is the fish knock the lure hard and smallmouth do that quite a bit.

Guess how much Carhardt safety grade sunglasses are? The same as a 6th Sense crankbait.

50 Smackdown. It doesn’t fade, lasts for along time and casts really well.

I like options. I like experimenting. I like all spectrums of the water column. I like quality, and value. I like loyalty. I don’t like hype. I don’t like fads. I don’t like inconsistency. I don’t like being boxed in. What I like or dislike only impacts me.

The DC stands for don’t complain. I have one DC and I just take my hearing aids out.

Your past follows you.

I don’t want my reels looking like something from the movie Transformers.
