Didn't expect to throw a wacky rig this early, but got 4 like this...

On it, thanks

Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable

Welcome aboard!

I am in the same boat ( pun intended).. I really want a lund and am comfortable that it would last the test of time, but the price tag of the trackers are tough to ignore. My next concern are the power plants. I really want a Honda or Yamaha, but neither is an option. 15 yrs is a lot of time. The only other thing in the back of my mind is resale. While intending to hold for the long haul, life happens. Good luck, and please let us know what you decide. Al

My buddy has that real on an e6x that he paid 149.00 on sale and is very happy with it

832 will sink

What ever works for the owner is fine......but what starts out as fine can become a pain in the *ss. Especially given the cost of owning a boat. Just because the rear may pay 1/2 the cost of the day, he doesn't pay the monthly payment, insurance, and maintenance. I don't like most people, so am content fishing alone or with good friends.

While it doesn't have to be, it's preferred because I get a 40% discount

3 or 4/0 EWG light wire

Sorry, it was a bit miss worded....I am looking for 2 roda and am looking for characteristics for both popper and another for jerks

I'm embarrassed to say that until this year, I have never thrown a popper. I have always had other solutions for top water, but find myself enjoying the popmax and splash it. I am also enjoying the larger jerk. The jersk have been on a MH crankbait rod rated for 1 ounce. The poppers have been on the same and a MH spinning setup. I am looking at getting 2 more rods, both gloomis. Simple question....what is a preferred rod for poppers and jerk baits. Thanks, I realize it can be tiresome with these questions Al

Never been able to tell the difference in casting braid with a broomstick. The rod has more to do with it......that said, I have one set up with smackdowwn and love it.....torque is also awesome as it is usually thinner.

We are still in spawn and will be for probably will be for a couple more weeks. The white caffeine shad has brought 80% of the fish in the boat, and the bigger fish too. I don't consider it a swimmer, but it is had to justify my bigger and more expensive swimmer for this time of the yr. Wally world and BPS were all out of them for the second week in a row. Is this the same everywhere? Almost got a new PB this weekend! Mrs Bull looked in the box and pulls out a slammer and quickly pulled out a slammer and asked what the he'll do I need these things for..........she clearly doesn't understand, but made a good point. Is that shad popular in your area and when do you move to true swimmers ( they have been a neglected bait for me for yrs) Thanks, Al

For most of the season green pumpkin and black/blue are the go-to's. The bubble gum and orange are a prespawn, spawn items. Getting to white today, as the caffeine shad has beaten everything so far

You will be a little limited on the weight of top waters, but will work. On a side note, if you are looking for technique specific rods, you can get 2 E6x. I just don't see the need for a great top water, but do see the need for jig/worm

Had to deal with 3 today........ I use light wire hook. With wire cutter, cut the shank. With pliers crimp the barb Though the gill rotate the hook out. Cutting the shank really helps

Happened this morning. I agreed to take my buddy and son out for a couple hrs. Buddy never fished and son only a couple times. They got 8, all over 3 lbs. I got zero....to busy tying line, and removing fish and hooks.....but it was fun

10 lb braid, 12 lb invisx leader.....

Not to hijack my own thread, but there are different levels of quality and you generally do get what you pay for........that said, I am want a good size net that is treble hook friendly and will save my knees and back...... I see a frabille is in my future

Location... Mascot of the FB team I coach, and former military nickname

I could see the complaint if you were making no the same wages you were 15 yrs ago..... And there are other places with lower prices than BPS .....just saying

Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable.....

Gents, I am loving this bait and want to expand my selection. Just interested in what colors you prefer. My default is usually anything with a white belly Thanks

Fish are part of the food chain and little sleep should be lost on the occasional premature death. Last yr, one of mine died and an eagle promptly dove and brought it back to the nest...life goes on...
