I use dingers. They have never given me a reason to switch to anything else

Yep,drop a jig and rage craw right in the middle of it or a T rigged pit boss or rage bug

It was an inside joke to myself since i havent used facebook in a couple years.

Whats a FB page?

I throw ALL of them in the weeds. I don't care about the style head. You're going to pull weeds off them regardless.

i have 2 Mojos and love them. However... look at the Daiwa Tatula rods for 150$ I like them even better.

Abu Garcia Veritas 7' HF 80$

Brown,black,blue and green is all you need.

You only need 180 dollar Costas my friend

All I meant is I am utterly unconfident with them. I throw them every year with no luck. Maybe i dont throw them enough.

Worst year of fishing for me in a while. I haven't even caught one on a frog this year. That's my go to topwater bait. My two biggest fish this year were both 3# on the nose. If I have one takeaway this season it's I've finally gotten confident with spinning gear. I also found a new love in pitching. This year wasn't a total waste,but more of growing year for me. I learned alot about slowing down and having patience. It's not all about power fishing anymore. I'd say I rounded myself off quite a bit. I spent a lot of time on the finesse side of fishing. I also realized that I didn't need 30 setups to do what I do. I don't need every bait in every color either. I completely downsized my tackle and sold off setups that do the same as another. Kept everything that worked and gave away any bait that didn't. I feel lighter. I may not be completely pleased with the amount of fish, however I am grateful for the learning experience this year has been. You guys are all a part of my fishing journey as I spend more time talking to you than most. I'm grateful for this website for opening my eyes to the little things and helping me keep it basic. I plan on slaying them this fall so stay tuned.I thank you.

I'm using a Havoc Subwoofer as my catterbait trailer. It has so much thump it's insane. I got one hit on the Spook in bone. Had it walking 180° slow and supersonic speeds. Hands down the easiest walking bait I've used. I'm hoping in the next couple weeks fall takes over and these fish start eating.

I've been watching this fish hit topwater for the last half hour. Throwing the chatterbait and spook right on top of him without even a look. Took off the chatter and toed on the whopper plopper .....got em haha

So today I decided to break out a couple baits I'm always hesitant to throw since I never have any luck. I felt like today was a goid day to suck it up and learn. One bait is the Spook and the other the Chatterbait. Walking the Spook didn't take all tgat long to get the hang of walking,but the chatterbaits always frustrated me the most. Fishing the Spook is self explanatory. What is you guys preferred method of fishing the chatterbaits? Do you usually chuck and wind or do you drag,let it sink then reel? I'm sure both work,Just wondering what seems to work best for everyone else. Maybe there is something I'm missing here.

Not sure if its SW safe but the Tatula CT is an amazing pitching/frogging reel. The 7.3:1 is what i use.

Congratulations man!!!!

My personal version of hell

You spelled Daiwa wrong again.

X3 Its my favorite rod as well.

Knowing your budget helps. But most somewhat decent combos are going to run you 70-100$ Look at the Abu Garcia Silver/Black Max line to start.

I say Dinger as well

Ill take the PB all day. Then just catch bluegill for 3 months.
