You seem to know a lot about reels as far as shimano goes. But do you know anything about the new Abu revo sx ? I was looking at them the other day

What are your thoughts about the new curado I?

I was at bass pro the other day and was talking to the man selling the reels. I felt the daiwa and it was amazingly smooth, way smoother than any of the shimano reels. He said he used to be a shimano guy until he got one and he hasn't touched his shimano reels since. The daiwa tatula type r is my next reel. Its way underrated.

Name the best BAITCASTERS made as of 2016. Thoughts on lews, shimano, and Abu Garcia?

List your top 5! Mine: 1. Yum or culprit 10 in. Ribbon tail worm 2. Kvd finesse spinnerbait 3. Kvd red eye shad 4. Any good looking jig and craw 5. 5in. Big bite trick stick or wobblehead

What style bait is yalls favorite and why?

Yes, that's kinda the finish mine has on it.

Just got a smithwick rattling rogue and got a yellow and orange with a metallic topped Rat-l-trap. Anyone ever had success with these, heard these baits fished right are deadly

This bass along with many others was caught off bill dances 15lb high seas grand slam mono

Keep ripping lips! Your bound to pull out a sleeper some Day if conditions are right. ✊

Consult your local redneck for some top of the line duct tape. I'm guilty for using duct tape on a lot of stuff?

Yes I have all of the sudden stopped on certain baits. Whether it be for wanting to try something different, or just finding a bait that has a higher tendancy to bring in more fish. It just happens. Pretty sure it happens to everyone at least with one bait or another

When you match the hatch with a swim bait no doubt you will get nice fish??

Well generally the older style skirts are a bit wider and produce more flow as the are swam or worked. This is something I've heard a lot about in the past couple weeks. Some argue old school skirts are better and with the extra flow they produce I don't doubt it.

Thanks for all the good advice. I'll get out on the lake next weekend and put it to use. Hardly a place I can't go on my gator tail.
