These are hand poured, not very durable either but I think they are much cheaper. He always throws in freebies too, or as the Cajuns would say “lagniappe” or something like that........

My girlfriend went to bed before washing off her spray tan once....... usually my side of the bed is discolored from dirt but that morning her side was the dirty one! It looked like c3po was in my bed!! Hahahaha

Is this wound from a bass or alligator???.......... haha

From reading all the replies I believe the only thing I see that you are doing wrong is switching lures too often . Sometimes if you don't get bit in 10 minutes you just have to wait longer

I've never seen a heavy action spinning rod except at the ocean

The problem you run into on the TN river is the bait is literally everywhere. If you throw a cast net one time you usually discard 99 percent of the shad you catch and keep the other 200. And that's every cove on almost every lake, so finding the bait isn't hard. There are fields and fields of shad everyday that aren't being attacked at any point in time. So basically, like @Catt said, it differs from one place to the next. Best advice I can offer is throw your fall stuff and let the fish tell you when they are ready

I would just replace the impeller. They aren't expensive

And had meat for supper!

No they are not. Although like @WRB said, the definition of "finesse" has become cloudy over recent years. In my mind if you have a baitcasting combo in your hand, you aren't finesse fishing. To me Finesse is drop shot on 4-8 lb line. Or skipping a 2.5 inch tube under docks with light line. About 2 years ago people just started calling every jig that wasn't a football head a finesse jig. Methinks it was an attempt to sell more jigs

Thinner line is more sensitive, thus better for "finesse" presentations. I like fishing jigs on 65 lb braid, but that's not at all finesse. I would take finesse to mean a small jig on light line. Like 3/16 oz on 8-10 pound florocarbon. 20 lb mono is about as thick as fishing line gets unless you are offshore tuna fishing

I don't think you can finesse fish anything with 20 lb mono

Happy to help. I think I had to use 3-4 oz at my house. When theres ants on my food I just eat them........ My girlfriend didn't really see it that way so I had to take action

I just hope the biggest 5 fish limit doesn't go away. I don't care what they call the tour or who is on each tour, I just don't like watching the major league fishing competition because of the format. It Seems more like a tournament you would see on YouTube between the googans than an official championship competition

It will work but the taper is what makes it unfurl nicely. For pind bluegill use a thick piece of mono (12-17lb) and then some 4-6 lb tied to the end of that

Which one is your favorite? I like the chrome with blue back. After half the paint is worn off from rip rap

I had to blow the horn at someone backing out of a parking g spot Friday evening . It was a close one, first time in my life I have successfully used my horn for it's designated purpose

I'm still 0-fer lifetime with chatterbait..... And I have been throwing it constantly

Well I guess you aren’t going to get a better answer than that .

Something seems bassackwards about this...........

5/6 wt is ok for bass, maybe a little too heavy for panfish. I have been using cheap fly rods since I was 12 and I still buy the cheapest ones I can find that have decent action. I'm a part time fly fishing guide and get to use the $1000 combos for guiding and they honestly make little to no difference. Unless of course you are in sales

I would totally go Asian Carp fishing with Bill dance! With a fish fry to follow

So there was recently a big meeting or 3 concerning new regulations for transporting live bait from one lake to the next in West Tennessee . The concern is that a small silver or bighead carp could be mistaken for a small shad and taken from one side of a dam to the other, for instance a striper catfish or bass fisherman netting shad below pickwick dam in Kentucky lake and then fishing with them upstream somewhere in pickwick lake or elsewhere. In TN there are several people that transport live shad, mainly striper and catfishermen that have nice bait tanks capable of keeping shad alive for days even weeks . These fishermen were obviously concerned about not being able to continue thier practices so they went to all the meeting and reported all that was said and presented , etc. One interesting thing that I read was that TWRA chief of fisheries Frank Fiss says that the agency has been unable to identify and reproduction of Asian carp in Tennessee waters. A few in this thread have suggested interrupting thier spawning habits as a means of population control. So far they don't even know if or where they spawn so I guess there is more to learn or they are being transported from lake to lake by humans

Now we're talking! I always start getting way more bites when summer finally ends. I don't mind hot sunny weather but it tends to make fishing lousy for me

There are rivers near my house that go from 30 ft deep to ankle deep very quickly. You still need a jet unless you want to fish the same pool of water everyday

Gentleman's hardware I think
