  1. That's a nice looking bait there. I recommend wire tying or putting a small zip tie on it though as that collar is about to break. Allen
  2. I need one of those for my boat. Allen
  3. Do you have a buddy who pours tubeheads? You can bend a 30 degree wacky rig hook to 60 degrees to make some.
  4. Manns Baby 1- is the best I have ever used. Honorable mention as I have caught a lot of fish: Team Daiwa Scouter Crank Jackal Cherry Zero footer Bandit Foot Loose Allen
  5. In Florida it means you switch from your windbreaker to a hoodie to keep warm. Allen
  6. I would just go with the Testors paint Tom suggested. You can use hang the heads to dry using Christmas bulb hangers. Allen
  7. Never heard of it? Allen
  8. Closer to never for me based on how I normally fish them. If I am using a trailer its usually for slow rolling a night bait. Allen
  9. Beatles spin body. Allen
  10. 40 and below for me. Allen
  11. Sluggo was the magic bait for me as a teenager. I caught 100's of fish on the 4.5" alewife one. Stopped using them for some reason? Allen
  12. Small bullet weight for fishing current otherwise weightless is what works best. Allen
  13. Overall green pumpkin is the best soft plastic color for me. Allen
  14. Translucent and silent baits for clear water. Sometimes I downsize but it usually ends up with small fish. Allen
  15. Keep them in the original bags and put all similar baits in a 1 gallon freezer bag. Tried so many methods for storage and this works best for me. Generally, I have a senko, ned bait, creature bait, worm, etc. which allows me to maximize storage and easily find baits I need. Allen
  16. Wasn't the original Slug-go in this color? Sort of a gray back, pearl belly with a little bit of blue tint? Allen
  17. Need to get some pics of what I have found over the last year. Since the local Dick's started selling 6th Sense I have been finding a ton of their baits. Hope the 6th Sense lipless are good baits as I now have 8 of them. Allen
  18. 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4oz are the 3 I use but I could probably get away with just 3/16. Allen
  19. Spinnerbait frames are made in standard sizes and will be listed as R3, TW4, etc. R is for R bend and TW is twisted loop which are the most popular. The number behind it corresponds to a specific head and arm length. For example, a standard War Eagle spinnerbait is an R3 while the Screaming Eagle is a R2. Bigger the number the bigger the frame size and 95% of bass baits use a 2-4 frame. Wire type and diameter are the next thing to tackle once you figure out frame size. I would need more information on what you are doing to help you further. Allen
  20. My brother caught one on the Potomac when we were teenagers that measured 21.5". At the time I didn't know anything about crappie it was just the biggest one I had ever seen. We threw it back along with everything else we caught and didn't think much about it. When we went to the local bait shop they had pictures on the wall for a biggest fish contest. The biggest crappie so far that year was 17" and when I told the owner what Justin caught he said we probably just threw back the state record. I have caught a lot of 16-19" ones all on jerkbaits in the spring fishing for bass at a small local lake. Allen
  21. The secret to catching Musky around here is to use expensive baits and light line. I have never fished for them but usually catch 3 or 4 a year fishing for bass. Last one I caught worth mentioning was 45" 21lbs on a JDM No-Knock LC Sammy. If you can fish the Potomac in western Maryland right now I know exactly where they are. A buddy of mine is a guide and he saw 7 of them cruising around a flat Sunday. The place he was at is also where the state record was caught a couple years ago. Allen
  22. Years ago I use to fish for them with my brother and friends. What we used was oatmeal with Koolaid mixed in. Grab and handful of oatmeal, put your hand in the water and just keep squeezing until it makes a hard ball. Treble hook with the oatmeal ball no weight has caught 100's of carp for me. My record is 32lbs and the average size we caught were 15-20lbs all day long. Allen
  23. So you won a truck for catching a tagged fish? How did I miss this story? Allen
  24. Heat set with a hair dryer not a heat gun and you should be fine. Allen
