What make a spinnerbait worth $35?
JACKALL / MEGALO DOOON 2 oz | IchibanTackle.com Here is a sold-out listing for one. Not sure how big the blade is but it looks like a prison shank. Allen

What is this lure?

Bass Puzzle 'Grass Piece'
Guess I will have to try one? The version 2 connection from head to wire frame intrigues me more than the blade design. If anyone has a broken one that could send me the blade? Allen

What make a spinnerbait worth $35?
By all the comments on here I am guessing I am the only one that owns one then? Paid $22 shipped for mine on ebay since I collect spinnerbaits. Allen

Who Throws White Jigs in Fall?
Usually have a whitish swim jig tied on from May until November. If anyone is wondering how to fish them it is simple. A swim jig is just a bladeless spinnerbait nothing more, nothing less. Allen

“micro” jigs
Don't judge my crappy tying skills but this is what I am throwing in cold water. To clarify what I consider coldwater its anything under 45 degrees. Water under 40 degrees these are all I use except for the occasional 2.5" tube during a warming trend. Allen

It’s That Time…..
South East PA are you fishing the Susky? Down here in Merryland right before the storm rains came fishing picked up. Finally got to put away all the Ned stuff as they started chasing baits. Prior to whatever hurricane came up the East Coast? Spinnerbaits, Poppers, and 3.3" Keitech Fat Impacts were working for me. Other baits worked but nowhere near as well as those 3. Allen

“micro” jigs
For cold water jigs I suggest maybe adding bucktail

My horrible fishing season this year.
So, I now have 3 boats and may buy another next week? Currently have an X18 Xpress with a 150 Optimax that i converted to a jet that ran like crap. I have an aluminum johnboat I inherited that I cannot register. Recently I purchased a 2003 River Rave jetboat that needs more work than I want to get into? Recently I found a 2004 River Rave similar to the one I currently own with a 2021 115/80 Mercury in better shape than what I have at a good price. Plan right now is to buy the newer River Rave boat and sell off the other two boats. Worst case scenario I should be able to fish out of one of the 4 boats this spring. Allen

My horrible fishing season this year.
Let me start by saying 2 years ago I made the decision to switch my boat from a prop to jet in order to be able to fish more local tournaments. This turned out to be a mistake as my boat is a step hull and runs like crap as a jet. In May the motor sucked up some crap and blew the powerhead which State Farm didn't pay until mid August. I have been bank fishing since then which is a different experience. Bought a jet boat at the end of August which needs more work than I wanted to get into. Additionally I have a john boat I inherited from my grandfather that nobody can find the title to. So here I am owning 3 boats and none of them I can fish from! It hasn't been the best year of fishing for me to say the least. God willing next year I will have at least one boat to fish from. Allen

Can you ID this soft plastic worm?
Zoom fish doctor, I have some somewhere around here. Allen

only one color of topwater . . .
to me the only color that matters is the belly as that is what the fish can see. White followed by black are the only colors I need for topwaters. Allen

Favorite Spinnerbait Brands, Tips, Tricks, and Trailors
Roll my own most of the time. Only factory spinnerbaits I regularly use are SK Midnight Specials. Trailers sometimes a grub, SK blade minnow, or the Zoom split tail. Best spinnerbaits overall for me are 1/2oz hidden weight in shad colors with double nickel blades. Allen

Horny Toad Questions
Always had good results on the Zoom hook they made for this. To keel the frog I will wrap 3 or 4 wraps of solder around the lowest portion of the hook and put some heat shrink on. Allen

? 1/16 oz tube jig hooks?
Find a buddy that pours heads and ask him to make you some. Looking at some of the links in this post I can't believe what they are asking for simple tubeheads. Allen

Favorite fluke colors
Have a buddy that pours some for me in Yamamoto's color called Natural Shad. Color is just smoke with sparce gold and black flake that just looks like a baitfish around here. Factory Zoom I only use pearl white and albino for the most part. Allen

Give me your favorite shaky head worm and color
Any straight tail worm will work for this. Currently I am using Zoom Swamp Crawlers in green pumkin, black, and scuppernong. Allen

Favorite jerkbait colors for smallmouth?
Where are you fishing? For me jerkbaits mean cold clear water. Overall my 3 favorite colors (Lucky Craft) are Ghost Minnow, Baitfish Silver, and Pearl Ayu. Now I will say that jerkbaits are a bait that you should carry more of as because fish are finicky. If you are looking for specific 110 colors I suggest Matte Shad Ozark Shad,and FA Ghost Wakasaki. Overall my best jerkbait is a Lucky Craft Pointer in Ghost Minnow. Allen
