  1. I'm really surprised at all the bad reviews on this, it's been my go to lately and I actually got my first double on it and I've been fishing for over 30 years. I fish it as a jerk bait pretty aggressively, 3 hard jerks and a short pause and bam. I've had several 3lb bass as well as crappie and bluegill attack them. Great bait in my opinion.
  2. I've had nothing but success with both everytime I've used them, they've become one of my favorite lures
  3. They work great in all lights for me, the shallow water is an amber base I believe so definitely not too dark like a black iridium. They definitely allow you to see what's going on in the water. The way I understand it the Prizm Shallow/ Costa Green are a lake/river lense, The Prizm Deep/ Costa Blue are a deep sea lense. Both the Prizm Shallow and the Costa Green are an amber base, I can't remember what the deep/blue ones are now as I don't do that type of fishing.
  4. I love the costa lenses, great clarity but they fog up so bad and getting a response from their customer service department doesn't happen. I returned them and went with the Oakley Prizm shallow water in the flak jacket 2.0 frame, no fog and good lenses.
  5. Well I finally used mine today, I've had it over a month. I will say that it walks awesome, great action but the hookup ratio sucks. I had 30 blow ups, hooked one fish.
  6. I throw mine on 50lb power pro and it works perfectly
  7. I had so many google searches bring me here I decided to stay
  8. I'm stuck staying at a motel tonight for a work meeting in the morning, luckily Dick's is less than 5 minutes away, killed an hour or so and grabbed 300 yards of 50lb power pro braid for $19.98 and a shadow rap.
  9. My little 14 footer that we fish out of only has a trolling motor on the back so I'm always in the back of my own boat. Doesn't bother me one bit, I just enjoy being out there and I'm just as happy if the other two buddies in my boat are catching them.
  10. This ^^^^^ Love the Gander bag and they sometimes have great sales. The sunglass holder is a nice feature for me, I always know where they are and that they're protected.
  11. Definitely
  12. Absolutely, it's a nice setup and it's perfect for bank fishing, my main tackle bag is way to heavy to haul around all day
  13. Single sling
  14. I just got this one, I haven't used it much but I really like it. http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=19434536
  15. Ugh, been a bad week for me, new backpack for bank fishing, new rod, new spinning reel, more braid, LT sunfish, 5 packs of zman plastics, zman shroom heads, Hackney jig, zman chatterbait, vmc weighted swimbait hooks, and that's what I can recall, I know there's more. But it's the best bad habit I've got
  16. I grew up fishing with my grandpa, it was our thing, he has 33 grandkids but I was his fishing buddy. I'm all grown up now and he doesn't get around like he used to so now we talk fishing instead of going and I share all of my fishing magazines with him. Lots of great memories made with him in the past and I make more with my 3 kids every chance I get. I love it.

  18. Even though I have a boat I bank fish the majority of the time and have good luck. I save getting the boat out for days when I have more time as it's quicker just to hop in the truck and go get some time in without messing with the boat.
  19. I've been doing well at my local ponds, probably 30 bass on Sunday alone with some good size to them, apparently my pictures are too big or I'd post them up
  20. Bloomington Illinois here, long time lurker, decided to finally join
