I bought the "baby torpedo" in a different color. Where can you find the Heddon Sonic? I've looked at cabelas and academy with no luck.

Thank you!

Does this forum have a "my threads" or "my replies"? Makes it easier to find the things you've posted in. I can't seem to find it though. Thanks.

I didn't know boats were considered tackle boxes. Lol! Just finished sewing the water bottle holder:

That may be my problem right there. Thanks everyone!

I bought a Spiderwire Orb Spider Fishing Bag. I was able to fit five medium sized boxes inside it, instead of the advertised four (came with two). I also fit three smaller ones for hooks/sinkers/swivels. I sewed on pouches for pliars, flashlight, and working on sewing a pouch for a watter bottle on the lid.

I'm using a rapala original floater, f11

Post a picture of your tackle box! I just bought a new one and already have added some modifications to it. I'm curious to see other's customizations and how you organize it!

Any advice for learning to walk the dog? I'm having a hard time with it.

What is the best way to store rubber worms/lizards/etc? Is it best to leave them in the bag or is it ok to put them in the plastic plano boxes?

What is pegging?

You guys are leaving out colors. Haha I'm putting together a list, I'll be purchasing them all. I'm particularly interested in the "original" color they came in. The original manufacturer/name brand would be great too. I'm making a gift for my father that these will go on a board that hangs from the wall. Things that he would recognize and are/were popular.

Growing up as a kid my father often talked about the "daredevil" lure. There's a specific company out there but they're so common you can find them at any bait shop, even most of the gas stations sell them around here. What other classic and timeless lures are there out there that any old timer would know? Is there a specific color or shape? Do they actually work? Post a picture of it! Tell us about it! For the purpose of this topic, only man-made lures. No worms, crickets, livers, etc. Haha

Thanks fellas. I went fishing for the second time today. I'm getting a better hang of the baitcaster; I only had one bird's nest. I can even cast it one-handed now. All-be-it less of a cast and more of a side/lob-it. Lol. It makes more of an "arch" movement and I'm able to handle it better. I also used my "genuine" chatter bait for the first time today. I was very impressed with how much movement it really makes. Reel it in too fast and the whole rod goes to shaking! When I bought it, it came with an extra rubber piece. Is it supposed to go on the hook or is that just a "bonus" lure? It seems to me that the skirt provides enough color and movement; I could be wrong though as I don't know exactly how they work. It looks like this except the color is white and bright yellow: When I bought my Abu Garcia Revo SX (RVO3SX-L) the other week I was pretty impressed with it. So yesterday I went and bought an Abu Garcia Cardinal SX(CARDSX10). I fished with it a little bit today and although I enjoy the reel, I've got a question about it. When I reel very slowly, I get a chattering noise from it. I took the handle and spool off, and it still made the noise so I'm assuming it's something in the mechanics of it, maybe some bearings. Is it supposed to make that noise or did I get a bad reel off the assembly line? My only problem now is why there are no fish in my lake. Lol! Thanks again everyone!

I bought my first bait caster. I fish from the bank, never intend to buy a boat. I fish for spotted bass and largemouth bass. Occasionally I'll catch a catfish. I've fished all my life using open face reels and underspin reels. That being said, I didn't do it often. Maybe a couple times a year but not often. Now I'm getting heavier into it. I think I got the basics of the baitcaster, just need to practice more to get better at it. I found using floating lures helped me practice a lot and thus made my first time more enjoyable. I was able to leave it floating while I worked out my backlashing, then still able to fish it on the way back in. I also found it was better to use heavier lures as it was easier to cast, giving it more time in the air, allowing my reaction time to catch up and learn to feather the spool better. What's the real difference between a round baitcaster and a low-profile baitcaster? Do people use weights/sinkers with their lures? I also want to learn more about lures. Particularly how to play different ones properly and what colors to use. Also, the lakes I fish are pretty laden with debris on the bottom. I OFTEN snag trees and rocks on the bottom (maybe that's another reason I enjoyed floating lures). How do I get "middle of the water" lures? I know you can reel the line faster, in order to keep the lure off the bottom. But then, I feel like I'm losing the actual play of the lure; also it means my lure is in the water less often. Does anyone find value with spoon lures? Thanks for any help!
