I have been researching for a few years now about building a fishing cart to attach to my bike, just looking to hold a few rods, tackle box, bait box, fish pail. Nothing to heavy to pull behind when peddling the bike. and to be easy in and out of the back of a suv. anyone have one? Thanks

Thanks you for the replies.I know it was a loaded question, I was very curious as to what others thought. As I said, I have 3 go to brands. Mepps, red devil, Rapala are the 3 I like. Other than that, i get what seems to work, even if it is a knock off.

I was on another forum, and I was reading how some anglers will stick with only one Lure Manufacture over another. So I started to think, and I was that way at one time. I choose what I seen work on tv, or in books. I still have some that I swear by, and are my got lures. Anyway. I was wondering when you are purchasing lures, does brand matter?

May work for the habs, but cant say much since my team is doing worse off then them right now. I have done a short introduction already. who told you about our hockey stick trick?

Joined this discussion on another forum, and being a few moths till fishing season, I figured it was time to re-look at my tackle boxes, and maybe do a spring cleanup. How do you set up you main tackle box? I do different fish at times on the same lake. this means that I sort some lures by fish type. Others I put blades together, spoons etc. do you setup by lure size, fish? type of tackle? Do use one box, or many? Thank you.

This is something I have always wondered. Always wondered why one color, size or type work one day, and a fail the next. I have used the Mepps Black fury with great success in the past. I also likes the red mepps comet # 4. For top water I like the frog color, or red white. Seem to be a big hit on some rivers.

Hello all: I have fished many types of fish, and in many different areas of Ontario Canada. I target mostly bass, perch, panfish, and pickerel in our local area. Springtime sees us out for catfish if we can get out. In the past I have also fished for Carp and pike. To very different but fun fish. I am a shore based right now, and travel by car a lot. Looking at canoe fishing in the near future. Thanks Kevin

Hello all: I have been asking around in different foums to get a feeling. I have fished many types of fish, and in many different areas. My current setup is old, but has done me well. I am looking to upgrading my rod if I can this year. First question. I have a spincast setup. What is the best/ smallest rod length I should be looking at. I was always told a 5.5 to 6ft rod as a general goto. Medium action. Been doing research as of late, and have been told at least a 7ft medium action should be what I need. Before you ask, I target bass, perch, panfish, and pickerel. I am a shore based right now, and travel by car a lot. So what minimum length of rod should I look at? When I was younger, one of the guys I would fish with, would pre tie fishing rigs. I always tie them as I need. Does anyone else pre tie rigs? My problem is storing them after. How do you do it? Thanks Kevin
