Line for Newbie Baitasting Practice?
Get some cheap 10lb mono because you will have to cut out a couple birdsnests. Another recommendation is to only fill the spool between 1/2 and 3/4th full. This will cut down on your casting distance but it will definately cut down on the number of backlashes! Like Burley I learned to fish a baitcaster when I was 12 but like everyone else I still get backlashes. Allen

JIG and SKIRT COLORS
I think that it imitates the common color of a crayfish when they are molting? When they molt they are easier to catch and their body is softer so the bass prefer them? ( This is what I saw on a In-Fishermen show) Allen

New look Spinnerbait
I think the idea came from the tornado spinnerbait that BPS use to sell (they may still have them). It was the worst spinnerbait I ever used hands down! That bait took two pairs of channel lock pliers to tune because the wire was so thick and half the time the blade would not turn. Allen

Seneca tournament is moved until April but I plan on fishing it the lake weekend this month. I do really well with a spinnerbait but most of the fish I catch on one are only on 2 or 3 colors. Allen

2 clear water questions
1. I hate rattle traps because they catch fish for everyone but me and I have never made more than 12 casts without losing it! 2. Depends but something more natural like a smoke colored senko? 3. Main thing about fishing clear water is long casts! If you can see them they saw you 10 minutes earlier and are now spookish. Allen
