I have simplified it down to using about 3 or 4 jig colors but only two trailer colors most of the time. Jigs I like; black, brown, and green or a combination of the 3 for most of my fishing. Trailers are GP or black but I do use 3 different styles depending on the action I am looking for. I can tell you that a brown jig with a green pumkin trailer really works around here. I am guessing because it looks like a virile crayfish that can be found in most bodies of water. Allen

The secret is to hold the fish really close to the camera that way they look bigger Allen

Are you trying to catch bass or trout? I have not fished there so if you can describe the water maybe myself or someone else can suggest an approach? Fishing this time of year can be frustrating so don't give up after two hours. Allen

Powwa bait iz wut day be uzen round hear! Allen

I haven't tried them but every other Zoom bait that I have has worked. What I do have to mention is that is a great avatar! You must be a batt boy so if you ever need anything just let me know. Rangers Lead the Way! Allen HHC 2/75

Other baits work as well or better for me so I rarely use Roboworms anymore. Allen

Gummy worm, brass swivel, DS sinker. Allen

In that situation I would just use a weightless Zoom swamp crawler instead of a Jackall bait. One to two feet of water does not give the bait much time to wiggle on the fall. Allen

I was going to suggest this. Allen

I would stick with the 20 size personally? I use both sizes and if you are sticking with 6lb the 20 is the right size. Quantum does make a 25 size reel but they might not make it in that model. Allen

If you dare try to throw a crankbait on a TS worm rod the earth will spin off its axis and plummet into the sun! Allen

St Croix guy here as well and I use either a 6-6 or 7' MHM Premier rod. You can find these used at decent prices and they just work great. For tight spaces the 6-6 is more accurate by the 7' works better for open water. Allen

I have caught 10" bass on a 1oz football jig with a Zoom horney toad as the trailer. Allen

Chuck Norris made Journey stop believing Chuck Norris makes webbles fall down Allen

Looks like Zooms scuppernong but with flakes added? Allen

Chatterbait but I plan on working with it this year. Allen

Hair jigs work best in cold water with bear being the best material I have used so far. Allen

Sounds like you have most of what you need for the places mentioned. I would add some white spinnerbaits with dual silver willows and some jigs. Allen

Do you know how to make tubes by dipping them? I have about 9 gallons of plastisol if you need some but it needs to be stirred. Allen

Now I know what the secret tube color is! Allen

Dick's here in Hagerstown has them for $2.99 as well. Allen

Can you just send me one of those stickers? Allen

Braid needs backing line on a baitcaster, I must have screwed with the drag for 1/2 an hour before giving up and putting the rod in the locker. You carry a net for a reason so use it in the tournament instead of flipping fish over the boat and back into the water. Allen

Just about every freshwater fish in the state but I don't count those as unusual. Objects: Volleyball net, about 4 rods, buzzbait, metal stringer with a small dead channel cat, shopping cart, bike, and my favorite a 3 section folding lawn chair that I thought was the state record. Living things: Fishing the Big Piney in MO I caught a painted water snake on a gulp worm. Hooked a beaver on a crankbait and it was not happy at all! Luckily the bait came free after a minute or two. Snapping turtles while pitching creature baits, they are a pain to unhook. Craziest was an owl that swopped down and grabbed a jitterbug while night fishing a small pond. Allen
