I was resorting my terminal boxes last night and it hit me, I would never have thought or believed I would be rigging a bait on a 6/0 swimbait hook when I was starting my bass career. I also never thought I would be fishing a technique called dropshotting, or fishing over twenty feet deep or slinging a crankbait that was as long as my hand. It has occurred to me that bass fishing, unlike any other angling has evolved more and faster than any other species I can think of. What a ride.

I only fish lures with hooks.

Gustafson brought his aye game. Nice win.

I enjoy coffee. I drink mine black and no foo foo creamer stuff. I have a K cup and drip maker so when I feel like a cup I’m good to go. I think we have a coffee stand for every 300 people in my community.

Siebert Dock Rocker for me. Wire tied and every color option you could want. Mike ships fast.

The important thing Glenn, you need to take care of you and yours. Know I as all of us are also your friends from afar but still friends nonetheless. The bass at PH needed a reprieve anyway? Doug

This is an excellent topic. Years ago, a really good smallmouth fisherman invited me for a day trip. He was a die hard tube user. We hit an underwater flat point. He had four or five before I got a bite. Shortly thereafter, Willy gave me the best lesson I’ve had to date. Don’t hop! Drag the tube. Willy pointed out sculpin and crawfish move right on the bottom, particularly in current and a lift and fall was not natural movement. Varying speed and pauses came into play but the tube had to be dragged. This has become a fundamental to that presentation in that situation. I apply it to football jigs, hula grubs, Dark Sleepers and some other plastics. There are numerous lures that require a lift and fall or climb over cover and fall but dragging made a significant difference in my bite rate.

Three half’s? Must be great.

I would rather have a lure that is not an anatomical match but presented properly than a perfect match that is not presented properly.

Got some and some other goodies. Used the sale code BR10. Thanks Mike!

yup

Rage Bug Mid size Brush Hog Space Monkey Man Bear Pig D Bomb BBB Craw Tube

YUM Zellamander. Gone but not forgotten. The baby Brush Hog filled the void.

Rosebud

Don’t forget Fire Tigre and Citris.

10/12 Tatsu but when throwing squarebills in shallow cover, 15 Mono.

Glitch Worm

I love it!

Depends on the brand as frame sizes differ. Shimano would be 2500 and a Daiwa would be a 3000. I run both 10 and 12 pound braids to a leader. I rarely run larger than 8 pound floro and will drop to 6 if the water is very clear.

702. Great for neds, drop shot, little swim suits on 1/8 head.

Something like this

Wrapper comes off, U40 goes on.

Lurking is good. It’s great having youth to balance out the older members........?
