  1. Make sure your sim card is installed and in good condition. If that isn't the problem, it is most likely in your settings. You may have to get your manual out, and follow all the instructions of start up and go through all of your settings.
  2. Yes. I don't have enough combos to have any be a one technique only, rod reel. The bait monkey is unhappy with the situation, and is constantly complaining. If he had his way, I would have rods, that never even get used. My A rig rod is borrowed from my salmon steelhead quiver. All other bass fishing combos do double duty with bass techniques, as well as may get used for other species.
  3. For me the difference between a $100 and an $800 rod is one will get me bass, and the other will get me a divorce.
  4. I only have back ups for lures that are not working that day. I will only have one of the hot lure for the day.
  5. Diawa BG for the reel. In my experience, nothing else comes close in the price range for salt water spinning reels. I own Shimano, Penn, and Okuma salt water spinning reels that cost twice as much as the BG and prefer the BG. none of the others are even a close second. As far as rods, go, I defer to other members, with more experience.
  6. It happened again. I'm not in the market for a reel, but now that I read this thread, the Bait Monkey is climbing on my back speaking in Japanese and screaming Zillion Zillion Zillion. The last time this happened a couple weeks ago, my wife had to use the silent treatment to get him to leave. The silent treatment is not fun for the Monkey or me. To make matters worse the Monkey is now starting to whisper Expride too. Just a whisper now, but that is how it always starts.
  7. I don't know about Mosquitos in Florida, but I do know the ones in Alaska will eat Skin So Soft for breakfast lunch and dinner. 100% DEET may not be healthy, but it sure beats bleeding to death. Fishing off shore is the best remedy for bugs. I don't know of any insect that can fly as fast as a bass boat can drive offshore where they don't live.

    I have a friend who always answers the questions of race, sex, and in case of emergency contact number with. Human, often, and 911. He has been doing this for over 10 years, and has never even had a person notice what he put down.
  9. Chartreuse and black back, Shad Scales, Jaint juice, Bluegill Spawn, Boiled Crawfish.
  10. Zen and the art of casting. Tune out any distractions, focus on your target, total concentration, make a smooth cast, don't take your eye off of your target, follow through, and swear like a sailor when you get hung in a tree.
  11. Duct tape. If it can't be fixed with duct tape, it aint broke.
  12. I just keep backing the brakes off of my reel, trying to cast further and further. When the reel blows up my estimated casting distance is to far, and I go home.
  13. I don't think mummified Senkos would last for a thousand years. I would be impressed if one would last 1,000 casts.
  14. Zoom Ole Monster- Junebug. T rig, and C rig. Zoom Magnum Trick Worm Watermelon Candy T rig and C rig. Zoom Trick Worm Junebug, and Green Pumpkin chart. tail T rig 7 inch Senko.

Magnum Rage bug Okeechobe Craw T rig, C rig Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper, Purple Smoke, T rig, swim bait head, and A rig.
  15. I would like to point out a couple more misused fishing terms. 1- A back lash happens on a bait caster, and a birds next happens on a spinning reel. Either way you are SOL. 2- Loosing a fish close to the boat is referred to as an LDR( Long distance release), not The SOB got off. 3- A fishing pole is cheap, you only need one, and it catches fish. A fishing rod is expensive, catches the same fish, and multiplies. 4- My wife is going to kill me is the proper term for my new rod came in the mail today. 5-It's catch and release, not he only catches fish to small to eat. 6-Fishing in the trees refers to trying to catch fish hiding in trees located in the in the water, not trying to catch fish that have evolved to live in trees out of the water. I have to remind myself of this every time I go fishing. 7-Fishing wood is the correct term for fishing around wood not dragging a branch off of the bottom. 8-If it tears the lower unit off of your outboard it is shallow structure, if you can't find it, it's deep structure, and if you loose all your tackle to it, it's cover. 9- Luck is what others depend on to catch bass. Skill is what I use to catch bass. I haven't determined why so many others have much more luck than I have skill. 10- There are many types of line used for fishing, but only mono is called fishing line. I wonder why some many fisherman never use fishing line.
  16. I once caught a big mouth bass on a rubber worm. It tasted the same as the large mouth bass I caught on a plastic worm.
  17. You might have to. Check your states laws. It may be illegal to own two rods with no reels for them. If not illegal very unethical.
  18. I fish, or I go insane.
  19. Get on Garmin connect. Go to quick draw community. Zoom in on map.
  20. Zoom Trick worm Zoom Magnum Trick worm Zoom Ole Monster Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper Rage Bug T rig. C rig. jig head.
  21. I think you were having a lucky day. You were getting bit and you got your buzz bait back. The rest is simply normal fishing.
  22. BEST Buzzbait Spinnerbait Crankbait WORST Crankbait Spinnerbait Buzzbait Depends on the day.
  23. I go down a bank with a strong wind at my back, making long bomber casts with no bites for an hour or so. I keep backing off the breaks one click at a time marveling at how far my reel will cast. Then I hear a big splash behind me, directly in to the wind at max casting distance. I quickly turn and fire off a way over muscled, full body, far from smooth cast. Result is the same whether the real is cheap mid priced or expensive. I am buying new line. Hopefully the line is inexpensive.
  24. The only reason I would buy a high end reel, would be the result of drinking beer with the Bait Monkey
