all my plastics have warped boxes. seems like tubes are the worst. and my netbaits seem to warp boxes the least. my favorite way is a plano 3731 and line the bags up

right now. probabaly 100 different soft bait bags and crank baits.. some hooks, tungsten weights but after i organize everything and inventory it just about all the crank baits will be opened. and softplastics put in boxes still in the bags. but that doesnt mean ill use them lol.

yeah i bought a couple lol

got all this within the last 2 weeks. and i just placed another order. and going to bass pro over the weekend..... does anyone know the number to the help hotline?????

bait monkey has got me pretty good so far this year. 2 reels 3 rods and way to many baits. trying to limit my color selection down to mainly green pumpkin and black and blues. bought a lot last of others last year. and always seemed to go back to those to colors. will post lics st the end of the week when the rest of my orders come in. wish i would have bought more of the lucky crafts when tackle warehouse had then on sale!!

me and my buddy that fish all the time always fish on the front deck together. we can communicate better and its easoer to control the boat. as for trolling we each troll equal amounts. and usually catch about same amount of fish.

sounds like they got the bait to long watch your line the whole time. if you see any jumps in the line lift it to see if theres pressure. most my bites on a senko i see it before i feel it

3 weeks in a row. and id be looking for a lake. when i get skunked i start thinking of the story im gonna tell. in all seriousness. i dont worry about it. just try and use the info i got from that trip to make a better plan next time

i never use the continuous setting. put it on a low setting and goo. easier for me to pick apart laydowns when i can control when the boat moves. the first couple times youll probably do more trolling than fishing. but itll be second nature before you know it

easiest way is to learn by doing spend a full day on the water trolling and youll have no problem

i got 8 1 shakey head 1 crankbait 1 chatterbait/spinnerbait 1 frog 1 wacky rig and 3 for flipping usually only use 5 of them

i like a slim profile bait like a craw that slides through the grass easy sometimes adding a slip skirt below the weight

well at least your next trip cant get any worse right? i have two of those small holes in my boat where i took off old transducer to mount structure scan and ive been on the water 8 hours and barely anything gets in. i need to fill them. but havent thought about it enough to actually do it yet or did i put screws back in those first? now i dont remember

usually only the first one of the morning scares. thats the one that really wakes me up the most ive been spooked is last year back of a lake where a little creek comes in by some lily pads was a tossin a frog and had bowfin blowing up on it like crazy. sounded like bowling balls getting dropped in the water.

for 500 you can still get 2 very nice combos i would spend 250 on each and get a crankbaot rod and a reel and then a 7 foot heavy action rod and a reel for frogs and jigs

wacky rig senko

update 3 months later i finally decided to look at it with a tournament in a couple weeks took switch panel off. popped wires off and reconnected. and it worked perfect mustve been a bad connection

yes. without it im going home

if your set on those 4. id go with the lews. my brother has one. really nice reel for the price abu garcia black max is that price to

-i got 4 id suggest for under $100 1- Lews Mark Rose series reel ~$60 on tacklewarehosue 2- Abu Garcia Pro Max- ~$80 on tacklewarehosue 3- Lews LFS- ~$99 on tacklewarehosue 4- Daiwa Tatula- ~$99 on amazon

could you use a seine net?

my lake the dock is right next to the ramp so i back in right next to it with every thing unhooked and as soon as it starts moving a little bit i hop out and get in. otherwise just tie a rope on and make sure the plug is in. shouldnt have any issues i always set the parking brake just in case

Sounds like some of you need some new line!! Havent really kept track but ive lost a few jigs. some tungsten and worm hooks. and went through a few bags of plastics so far

i like 10 or 12 trilene xl mono on crankbaits and 15-20 pound seaguar red label fluoro for jigs sometimes 50 lb power pro braid

2-lews tournament lite LG1HL- $179 each 2-lews LFS SSG1HL- $99 each 2- no. *** co. 7'11" heavy action- $85 each $730 dollars gone in a matter of seconds
