Fishin' Fool

Speaking of weightless Keitechs I'd been thinking about fishing 2 on a donkey type rig like the double fluke rig with a steady retrieve. Anyone ever try that before?

I'd take it in a second but I'll let someone that doesn't own a Huk fishing shirt get it. My Daiwa/Huk shirt i got a few years back is actually my favorite one!

How much? I'd probably buy them for sure but Huk fishing shirts account for 90% of my non-work wardrobe and I'm sure my wife would want me to wear something different.

I feel like I just posted this somewhere else

Were the senkos manufactured different back then?

What type of line? Braid? Fluorocarbon? Mono? Mono has the most stretch and might require the most hook set. Personally i think reeling down into the bite is best for the moderate rod that you mentioned.

Start with this worm and fish it weightless.

What kind of rod are you using (power and action)? Specifically what type of line are you using? Depending on your answers that will help better instruct you.

Between the Daiwa Tatula, Dobyns Fury, and the St Croix Mojo bass. You really can't go wrong.

100% of my confidence in fishing a senko is casting and letting fall on a slack line. I will cast it out let it sit lift and drop 3 times and then reel in. I have 0% confidence working it back to the boat.

Wait, there is a reason to buy fishing stuff more than just because? Who knew?!

I have a NRX 872s and a GLX 892s both rods I got at a sale price. That I think you'd love. When Tacklewarehouse does their 15 or 20% off sales does that include G Loomis rods? If it does stretch your budget and hold out for a GLX. The problem is once you go there you want to upgrade all your rods.

I thought I heard that Fenwick runs on the lighter side of power too

My experience speaking in general. G Loomis sets the standard for power. St Croix runs on the heavy side of power. Dobyns runs on the lighter side. Abu Garcia runs on the heavy side.

Ned rig, drop shot, Rage Tails, Menace Grubs, Fat Ikas

I have very little confidence and skill in the where, when, why and how of fishing a jig.

The way TRD worm floats up off the bottom I think that willow blade might restrict it's actions. Probably better off on bigger worms like senkos, flick shake, Zoom trick worm, etc.

What is an MJ rig? I've had good success using a Ned rig on the bottom of a drop shot instead of using a weight. It seems to double my odds.

Doesn't seem worth sending it back for $75 for an insert. However keep that warranty in mind if you break your rod, for $75 they send you a new $150 rod.

Is this a spinning reel or casting reel? Because 12 pound XT which has a thicker than normal diameter could work for a casting reel but that is really thick line for a spinning reel. If you wanted to stick with straight mono I'd stay in the 6 to 8 pound test range.

Cranks, jerks, ned rigs, drop shot, spinnerbait, jig. Keep it slow this time of the year.

Just watched your top water video love the commentary. Us bass guys remember the weights of our 5 biggest bass more so than our anniversary or children's birthdays lol. Great video @A-Jay

It may depend on the day if the fish are finicky that day it may make a difference but there are days due to approaching weather system you could soak your lures in motor oil and the fish would still bite. Whatever you do just dont eat a banana on the boat

After I fish with them let them dry out and put back in the original packaging.

I realized after my post you said drop shot not Ned rig. I do catch alot of numbers on a drop shot.
