4" senko 3.5" Smallie beaver 5/16oz finesse jig These have caught a few on my top ten big bass over the years. Allen

White Rooster Tail will catch anything that swims around here. Allen

Caught one on a baby brush hog and one on a jig, both were released. Allen

Bass are what I target but catch other fish on bass lures. Besides bass I like carp fishing, these things are strong in the river and I have caught them up to 32lbs. Fish with teeth have lost their interest with me? Pickerral are all like 2' and weigh 6oz, pike hit like a ton of bricks but like muskie I just have caught enough that they just don't thrill me anymore. Trout I think would be great if we had any around here that were not stockers where everyone is fishing elbow to elbow after the stocking. Allen

You have too much stuff! We can join THA (tackle hoarders anonymous) together. Allen

There is no such thing as inexpensive tungsten weights and if you find some on ebay I would really check the source. Anytime I have found tungsten cheap the inside was not very smooth and would fray the line. My advice would be to buy from one of the sponsors on here as they will treat you right and not ruin their reputation by selling you junk. Besides the sponsors Wallymart clearances tungsten from time to time. Allen

I think my lures breed in the boat because have of them I don't remember putting in there? Allen

Haven't owned a Shimano baitcaster since about 1992? all mine are Quantum and the system still works. You are right that they specialize in Shimano reels though. Now if they woul just make a video for spinning reels. The WD-40 guy charged me $117 to do 5 reels and for some reason went out of business? Allen

6-6 M Spinning with 8-10lb line would be my first rod 6-6MH Baitcasting with 12lb mono line would be my second rod Now personally I bought a bigger boat just so I could have more storage space but I could survive with those two outfits stated above. With that being said I hate to re-tie so it is nice just to set one rod down and pick up another. Allen

http://www.lakeforktacklerepair.com/tips.htm Get this reel maintenance video and you are set (I am not associated with them in any way but promote because it works). I use to send my reels out to be cleaned and it was hit or miss as to the quality of cleaning. One guy I sent them to must of just sprayed WD-40 inside and returned them? They were actually worse than when I sent them in. Now I just clean them myself when needed that way I know they are done right. Allen

One with a .040 wire which rules out War Eagle. Allen

Looked for about an hour and could not find them? I will be organizing tackle this weekend and will search some more. I did find two backs of the Keitech spiders that are worth more in their weight than gold though. Allen

Is this it? Allen

Get rid of the cardboard boxes and get some 66 quart plastic tubs at wallymart. Plastics weigh a lot once you get enough of them so the bottom will give on those boxes. Allen

I still have a couple NIP and will see if it is listed on the box. Allen

Basement is full so the overflow has been going to the garage or dining room. Allen

Like I posted earlier admitting there is a problem is the first step. Personally I have loved bass fishing since I was about 12? I use to watch Bassmasters with Bob Cobb as a youth and dream about catching the big ones like I saw on TV. As an adult I still remember those shows and what worked back then that I could not find or afford to buy. Now I have a 6 figure income so I can buy whatever the hell I want but still remember the nostalgia of the late 80's early 90's baits.ad as My weakness for about 5 year was jerkbaits and it didn't matter what they cost as long they looked good I bought 5 of them. Now I have matured as an angler and realize that I don't need to carry $2000 worth of baits that weigh 300lbs I catch more fish. With a family I now and me being back in graduate school I do not have the time I once had to fish. So with that said I am still looking for baits that I had as a teenager that I would like to have again. I will post a WTB in the classifieds and if anyone has any of these lures I will pay top dollar or trade for them. Allen

Let me state that the first step is recognizing that there is a problem! I have been slowly culling tackle into bins to get rid of over the winter. That being said I have 66quart tubs from Wal-Mart sitting on a wooden pallet in my basement full of lures. There is no way I will ever use 20% of this stuff so it will be sold over this winter. Terminal tackle, line, and maybe some flick shake worms is all I plan on buying in the next 12 months. Allen

Not to be a D**k but I bet unless you are fishing for walleye those colors mean more to you than the fish? I have tried so many color combinations to realize that color is more important to the bass angler than the bass. Allen

I have a d0-it mold for the straight eye hooks in the lighter weights but will try those BPS weights. Allen

Since you have a kayak I would try Little Pool up by Hancock. The only way to fish it is by a boat you can carry in so it does not receive as much pressure. There are a lot of pickerel in there so be careful if using any expensive lures. Allen

I swear every fish I catch on them jumps and I lose the worm in the process. Yamamoto baits are more durable because they are thicker while these are thin. Now I have to qualify my statement by saying I only use the 4.8" flick shake worm. Allen
