Fishin' Fool

Get the 6'10" IMX medium. It's on sale for $221 at TW.

^^^^^ what he said!

When I fish a weightless senko I let it fall on slack line. I'll wait 5-10 seconds and slowly reel up the slack. If you feel weight that is moving set the hook. It's just an acquired feel to tell the difference between hung in the weeds and a fish has it. Even the most experienced of us will set the hook on weeds now and then.

Keep in mind one knocker types of lipless cranks when you build your collection. There are just some days when that cadence is all they want. https://www.bassmaster.com/tips/selecting-right-lipless-crankbait

I got a NRX during that Classic sale last year for about 40% off. That triggered my inner bait monkey that had been in recovery. It's been a downhill slide since last Classic weekend

What's the Skittles slogan? Taste the rainbow!

Dang. Now you got me thinking I need to get some of the DR's for summer fishing. Bait monkey go away!! If you can't find them online look up the phone # for the Field and Stream in Troy, Michigan. Maybe they would ship you some from the store. They didn't have a ton of colors though.

I agree I totally see this being a spring bait out on St Clair. For $5 how can you go wrong getting a Lucky Craft right?! I think the packaging costs that much lol

Field and Stream had some Lucky Craft lures on sale buy 3 get them for $5 each that included Bevy shad and Flat CB MR and DR. I was thinking about grabbing more of the flat sided crankbaits for that price. Anybody have any experience with them good or bad? Is it worth buying more for $5 each?

Sorry I think I confused you for the original poster. I'll second that the Red Label is decent line and possibly the best bang for the buck.

I haven't figured it out exactly yet but I'd imagine tubes, grubs, maybe finesse jigs, senkos, possibly drop shot and spybait. I know that's a lot to ask from 1 rod.

First of all I know that Dobyns doesn't make the DX762S anymore. I acquired it during Black Friday sales in 2015. I've still never used it. I was considering biting the bullet and paying the upgrade fee for a 742 or 743. I find the 762 a bit whippy in the tip. It probably would make a good spybait or Ned rig rod but I wasn't sure that I wanted to limit a $350 rod to such few uses. Thoughts on the DX 742 or 743 spinning rod.

It's a legit question and I think if you asked 10 different people you'd get 5 different answers. I say the rod.

If it works for you then you already knew the answer. I bought a big spool of 15 lb, it seems decent but as others have mentioned it's better with line conditioner.

You can't go wrong with a Dobyns Fury 705cb either.

A good time for you to grab them at $5/each then.

Good to hear. They had pretty limited color choices.

The Field and Stream near me had certain Lucky Craft lures buy 3 or more $5/each. Really nothing that great (no Pointers or Gunfish) looks like mainly discontinued items an oversized lipless crank, bevy shads and Flat CBMR and CBDR. I picked up 3 of the Flat CBMR anybody have any experience with them? They have LC's beautiful craftmanship.

Adjust it based on the location you fish. I could downsize it to their 5" worm. Just an example from the video. I thought it looked pretty sweet hence the share. 78 different ways to fish a senko you say? Post that up on this website or does Yamamoto have exclusive right to it?

Based on the silly sentiments of this post us Yanks have had enough of the cold weather and are fixin' to get out on the soft water.

Chicken and waffles?

Anybody that is 'fixing' is no Yankee

Do you see a difference between the Neko rig and a wacky/Texas rig? The tails on the lures stand straight up which is more similar to a shaky head. And I'm very disappointed with the name IndianaFinesse you couldn't squeeze in another finesse technique

I know I think these finesse type rigs are something to try when the fish aren't biting on your usual go to baits. It sure looks good though.

I'd like to give this rig a shot. Anybody use it before that can give me any feedback? It looks like a good rig for when the bass are in isolated weed patches.
