What do you consider a heavy head anything over 1/4oz?

I've been wondering about this, how do you fish jerkbaits in the wind?

Is there a reason to make a lipless silent? Most people I believe even tacticalbassin don't see a need?

So let’s hear it what’s your favorite cut tail worm?

can any one give me some details about a older bomber long a, what made it good? which ones did you want to look for since I'm seeing different models?

By bumping I meant counting the discussion and adding new baits once I got some help on the current two I got listed Lv300- Daiwa TD Vibration- I will edit the list later to add more but was just trying to get these two currently figured out.

So I took my batteries to interstate here and they said both run at 900 and are good around 800 so the issue is that they are both cranking. They informed me I need one deep cycle and just one of the cranking batteries

So I’m gonna be looking at older baits, that we’re good at one time and trying to replace them with the new versions. If anyone can help me on this thread that be great. I’ll be bumping this in hope to get responses thank you for any help in advance let’s hAve some fun ps price is not a factor in the comparison just the action of the old and new bait. Lv300- Daiwa TD Vibration-

What crankbaits do you always carry? Do you carry a rod for every depth range crankbait? Example shallow squarebill , mid depth and a couple deep like 6xd and 10xd or?

I heard bluegill go deep during the fall is this wrong

They are both cranking battery’s marine model 24m-xhd then for the trolling they are Duracell 12v

Sorry I explained poorly I have 4 battery’s but two to the motor and the electronics the two others are for the trolling motor. I’m running a 24volt 80lb fortex

I have two brand new interstate battery’s 6 months old. Well the last two days my four bank charger shows they are fully charge both times. But when I go out and fish for 5 hours with two carbons one on stand by 60 percent of the day and running the min motor (150 4 stroke merc) it says warning battery low. now when I test them when home they read 12.3-12.4 after charge they read 13.4 give of take. What’s going on

Ok so I live in Iowa and our water is pretty low. We had a Storm on Monday and Tuesday bright skies with no clouds. How do you personally approach this? What do you look for? I wanted to look for brush piles but didn’t have more than 6 hours to fish in total, do you you look regardless?

https://www.iowadnr.gov/Portals/idnr/uploads/fish/programs/farmpond/PondPlantID.pdf i just found this also I’m assuming almost all will hold fish

Oh I thought pond weed was the type since that’s what the DNR said

Local DNR said we have different pond weed here in Iowa and was trying to learn if this can be fish effectively or if it grows on different kinds of bottoms and what exactly is pond weeds? does anyone here have any knowledge on this topic

So In the fall most lakes in the back of coves are great and a main target, but what if there is no Shad? Most lakes here have a ton of bluegill and crappie. edit-side note no grass is alive this time of year

Spinner bait indiana blades. How do I fish this correctly I know it’s mainly for shallow water but what depth would you stop using this Spinnerbait? Also do you fish it to where you can barely see the blades

Having trouble targeting a waypoint I’ve marked on trolling motor I have the rings on and am one ring away and my arrow pointed right at it and sometimes I’ll hit the brush pile but mostly won’t and it never seems to be a mark and cast it’s always a mark and then fan cast until I hit it. what could cause this? I have a point one and a carbon unit. I’m also marking it on my trolling motor

looking for a midrange size swimbait for the fall the avg size fish here in Iowa is probably 2-3 lbs

so I'm trying to match the hatch at a lake I fish at I know it has a lot of crappie and a decent amount of bluegill, I have yet to see any shad but I have seen small minnow type fish next to trees but I'm not sure what they are ( baby bass or just minnows?) anyway how do you approach a situation like this. also the dnr website does not have any info if there are shad in the lake

So yesterday I posted a selling off your older bait thread the main reason was I have a lot of not so high end baits that I bought when starting out. Examples are strike king crankbaits, sexy dawgs, jerkbaits etc now I don’t have a ton of confidence in these baits and I think it’s just because of the name strike king and realizing they don’t have the best of action in most cases. Do you fish with similar items? Or only fish with your confidence baits? lastly even think it matters.

Does anyone sell some tackle, they decided they just won't use to make room for new stuff? If so how do you go about it without losing to much money most of my stuff hasn't even been used but has been opened

So I'm learning more about map study or trying and I just read something that was very confusing to me it claimed that in the summer a good thing to do on a topo map is to look for relatively flat or gradually slopping contour lines. I've always thought you want to look for closer contour lines in the summer.
