Does anyone have any luck fishing for largemouth bass with finesse tubes (gitzit)?

No exactly had everything packed to do whatever. Just on a windy raining day I thought a moving kietech and a finesse drop shot to pick up anything the kietech didn’t was a good start. 4 hours on a lake I don’t know every area. Looking back I’m thinking maybe I just shouldn’t have fished and graphed but the rain was beating down

let’s say you have 4 hours to fish at a lake you don’t know to much about but you know some areas. Do you graph even when it’s a short amount of time? Here’s how it went for me I graphed and find baitfish. Used a kietech combined with a drop shot and had no luck. Repeat this a few times and I tried a c-rig also same thing. Was it just because I wasn’t directly hitting brush piles or what could it be or do you recommend?

What scroungers are similar to the old style?

Can someone help me understand what the difference is between the d bill, a bill, Short Fat J Bill, Short K Bill, Fat J Bill

Here in Iowa I seem to catch in a 8 hour day, around a average 12-14. Then a tournament happens on that same lake reaching around 18 lbs. I've fished only big baits to small baits. Graphed a great amount. So what am I missing? I know the top replies will be time on the water and I'm working on that. Besides that what are some of your go to's to help you get over that hump? More map study? More graphing?

central Iowa

Water temp was around 58-60 when I went a few days ago here in Iowa

What do you mean recording. Just a normal scan? Or like a 3d scan?

How do you graph a very small lake with tress? I was trying to use side scan but couldn’t spot any brush piles within the mix of trees on the points. any tips on how to graph on a lake like this? I use a Lowrance carbon.

So yesterday I finally got a chance to fish a lake nearby but when I went into what I thought would be a productive cove it pulled up moss time and time again and left the area. Had no bites but didn’t cast to many times maybe 15. Is this the right move or should it be a time I change baits. I moved thinking the moss on the bottom wasn’t a favorable bottom for bass

OK so here in Iowa, Yesterdays weather was 59 degrees with a lot of wind, today the weather has dropped 10 degrees with a high of 49 today, winds are still strong today. Now if I was to fish today what would you expect to be high percentage baits? I would assume a faster moving hard bait would still be better than a worm or something slow because of the strong winds, so what I was thinking was something like a heavier lipless hopped off the bottom or a slow rolled swimbait.. Anyways how would you approach, your techniques in these conditions?

Interesting thank you, what size do you use as a trailer does it vary?

Looking into scrounger head fishing. When do I choose this over just a normal Swimbait? When do I choose this over a crankbait. Just trying to better understand when this bait shines? Levi

I see here you dislike Structure spoons with only one hook, so do you run a treble up the line and have it rest on the top of the structure spoon?

Very interesting you don't think the onion has any negative effect on the baits?

lol with a onion I'm assuming this is a joke.

What's funny about this is I was scammed so credit card is gone, when I returned my order they "refunded" the old credit card and keep claiming it's on there I've called and called the credit card company and there is no refund it's now been 2 weeks and this issue has not been solved.

They must call the black-red crawdad, Chili bowl now which is such a odd name

Does the zillion sv cast longer?

I’m going to be getting some 8 gear ratio reels because I don’t have any. But I have a lot of tatula sv 2017 models. Would you buy the same reel the tatula sv 2017 or the DAIWA tatula long cast. These reels will be used for a lot of things but mainly worms and jigs. Weights will vary nothing crazy heavy though

There is no split tail pork trailers being made anymore correct? If you didn't make your own now days what on the market would be the closest thing?

So I'm looking at a cranking rod with moderate action but it's rated as a 5 power does that roughly mean mh?

Daiwa Tatula LT Spinning Reel TALT4000-CXH Right/Left 6.2:1 7.4 (1CRBB + 5BB) + 1RB 10/210, 12/160 Is the spinning reels I currently have and I am currently running braid to leader but am wanting to go straight to maxima ultragreen is there any negative to this with such a large spool if I'm using mono as backing? Negatives as in extra line twist because the spool is big or something I'm missing?

Do you hate braid for the simply fact of a connection know could fail or? For the weightless senkos I’m assuming It’s on a medium action rod? Also what advantage does this have just for line watching right? Just trying to learn sorry for so many questions lol.
