Fishin' Fool

A Tatula with a Fury is a great suggestion. A Tatula rod with a Tatula reel would be great too.

For soft plastics you want a fast or Xtra fast action. I've really never noticed much of a difference between the two for weightless senkos.

I've bought both of those recently too.

Are you doing something wrong? Yes. 42 degree water temps, tie on a Silver buddy or Heddon or similar blade bait. You're welcome

Go to Sportman's Outfitters and you can get a Daiwa Tatula 7'1" MHXF for $110. Great rod for that price.

I think from the consensus from my reading before it seemed like the 130 was the size you want.

I'm just hoping to hit the jackpot like my fishing partner. He has over 300 Xcalibur XR50's new in a box. He figures his collection is worth about $6,000. Of course he'll never sell it.

In my defense TW is out of that color until mid June

I just went to Field & Stream and bought another Megabass Oneten+1 sexy french pearl. It's beautiful! I'm past help.

I'm surprised that you didn't respond with "Did the wives send you?"

I'm right with you there I got all the stuff to be Neko fabulous or Rage rigging but I'll probably just fish senkos or a drop shot.

Yep #1 done twice and #2 three times. Two kids in college. Maybe I'm trying to keep up with how much their spending.

Stay off of Ebay. Always a sale!

This is Glenn isn't it? Trying to make us good people spend all our money. You can't fool me monkey.

That's what I'm afraid of

I think Ebay is the worst for me. Because you have the opportunity to find things significantly cheaper than in stores and no tax and free shipping a lot. I'd say this is my biggest downfall. I think the psychology of getting a deal that is my problem.

With the fishing season about to get started up here in Michigan I've been buying lures uncontrollably. I'm not spending the money that's for the mortgage or food or anything like that but I'm sure spending more than I should be. How do you all control yourselves when on a buying binge? In the last 24 hours I've bought 5 Red Eye shad, underspins from Ebay, my first Megabass jerbait (which is probably opening a whole other can of worms).

1) drop shot 2) under spin 3) keitech fat impact Tough to pick only 3. I could pick a top 20 bait list easier.

That's a good question. The email doesn't say. I don't see how to access the deal from the website. Maybe just call the store as suggested.

Your choice of Diesels is limited to: 6104 CB glass 702 MLEF 755 CB glass

Yep I just saw this e-mail too. If you order a Inferno or Max 3D you get a free Diesel. Can't beat that.

Who owns the Shimano Zodias 6' 10" medium moderate fast rod and what do you mainly use it for? I bought one off the bay from Japan but it's gonna be a while before it gets here. I think it's being delivered via rickshaw

How deep are you normally fishing on Ontario and Erie? Maybe it's better for deeper water. I'm rarely deeper than 15 fow.

I don't have a problem using it on a casting reel. Try drop shotting with it on a spinning reel. I didn't use a swivel on my line either. By the 3rd time out the line was bird nesting.

I liked using all FC on my spinning reels for bottom contact baits and sensitivity. What I didn't like was having to change the line out every 2nd or 3rd time I fished because of line twist and the cost of the FC. I switched over to small diameter braid with a light FC leader at the beginning of last year and have not looked back.
