Torn Thumb

Would the cork on a Fenwick hmx be considered "quality?"

I asked because I recently got a cork handled rod (nothing fancy) but I've gone ahead and used it a few times. Is it already too late to seal it is my question.

Is it a bad idea to seal it after you've already used it a few times?

I noticed that SG isn't a sponsor anymore. Could it be related to lack of pike lure sales? Just kidding.

Wish I had an academy nearby. Just Walmart, DSG, and a couple of mom and pop shops with so-so selections. I know I can order online but it just ain't the same.

So is TW only selling the 90 in silent now? I've asked here before and it seems to be the case but no one answered.

Good luck

HA.

It's amazing what can be done with soft plastics. That's ridiculously awesome.

Talk about matching the hatch. That thing is near identical in color to your bait.

Pontoosuc lake (state record muskie) and onota lake are your two best options for pike.

Texas weightless.

I lost 3 square bills in one trip earlier this spring. Luckily I got one back later in the week when it broke free from its snagging place and was floating right about where I left it. I now basically buy jigs just to snag them on things and lose them also.

Those look fun. What are they?

But the bubbles though...

Come to Berkshire county if you want to catch massive pike. Western Massachusetts.

Gonna need this eventually.

I would love to see everyone's head explode when the next world record comes from somewhere totally unexpected.

Anybody here ever gone to Japan just to fish for bass? Sounds like it could be fun.

I'm still hesitant to throw the 130 but I've mostly been fishing the same pond all summer. The pond has dropped quite a bit and I can't shake the idea that it's too big a bait for the shallow pond. I'm waiting for my favorite smallie spot to get active again and maybe they'll smash the 130. One can hope.

A one fish day with a new PB is the best day of fishing for me.

Any preference of the 3? Try the yellow head. I'm trying to decide on my next one.

Strike king on price and durability. GYCB on dependability to catch fish more often in my experience. My local Walmart prices: SK SHIM-E-stick: $2.96 Senkos: $6.36 (down from 7.96 before summer)

Thanks

Is there supposed to be a joke in here?
