I've had success with Power Pro Superslick Hi-Vis. I've got some on my reel from last season. Fished it all year and it still has vibrant yellow. It's not quite as bright, but it more than suits my needs! I'm trying Seaguar Smackdown ths ywar too.

I like the fast. It helps to have a lighter tip to cast the smaller rigs. I also like hooking into fish with a lighter tip so that it has a bit more give. Less likely to break the light wire hooks.

-St Croix Legend Tournament Bass 610mlxf -Daiwa Tatula Elite 7mlf I've used my Legend Tournament Bass 610mlxf the most for Neds. It works really well, but is a bit stiffer than my Daiwa Tatula Elite 7mlf. Extra fast vs fast makes a big dif for me. The Tatula LAUNCHES Ned rigs!

Can't "like" this enough! I used Roosters, Panthers, a couple generic offerings... nothing compares to an Aglia IMO. Plus they're local!

I got some Rapala fishing pliers years back and they work very well. I prefer forceps though: compact, easy to pocket, good for smallmouth, etc. I've got Berkley forceps and some my mom gave me from work (She's a nurse)

Wow, he really had to twist your arm lol. Nice reels! I may try the spinning model eventually.

I use a double Uni with no issues. It's easy to tie, is super strong and fairly low profile. I do use "lighter" line fishing for smallmouth: 10-15# braid and 8# fluoro, so there's not a lot of line to bulk it up anyway.

As needed. If the latches are faulty, water leaks in, or the box is bent. I dont replace for the sake of it like i would with other things in fishing where fresh can be better. The beautiful thing about the better quality trays I've got now, which are nothing too fancy anyway, is that they last.

They're just so light... even by my finesse standards. Hook into any river Smallie worth it's own in current here and it's gonna bend.

Hi folks, What is your favorite treble hook to replace stock hooks with? Do you vary it or have a specific brand? I'm just gauging preferences before I look into getting some for spring! Went through tackle to sharpen and take stock and it looks like replacement will be best on a few of these lures ??.... mangled in the best way!

Don't you just HATE when you finally decide to make a big(ish) purchase, have a sweet promo code to use, hit the site and then..... they're literally only out of the specific rod model you want?! Dang iiiiit!! <consoles Bait Monkey> "shhhhh shhhh it's oookay.... I'll buy you a few jerkbaits for now." ?

NdYakAngler. Love that guy.

A fair compromise. That would be a bummer though! I love his Sniper jigs... the pike steal them, I snag occasionally, but it's such a confidence bait for me.

Exactly! That's exactly why I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I've had that happen with countless jigs and Aglias as it is.

Seems so soon after the long winter (I'm in Wisconsin). I don't have many jerkbaits: husky jerks, shadow raps, and a couple pointers. I'd love to try some vision 110's but can't swallow the $$ yet. One that I do plan to try is the Jackall Rerange.
