  1. In my opinion, a 7' medium heavy with a fast tip is a great all-around rod.
  2. I use an Endure C2 30 on a pond prowler type boat. It's a little slow but it pushes the boat good enough. 55 should be solid for your canoe
  3. I don't use one personally, but the Daiwa Aird X has nothing but great reviews on TW. $54.99
  4. Cranking with a zero stretch line seems crazy to me.. seems as though more and more people are doing it, maybe I shall try!
  5. A frog. Thankfully it unhooked it's self in mid air. Every time I throw frogs in this certain pond, real frogs come flying off the bank into the water chasing down my frog. It's quite amusing. Lol
  6. Great investment. I use a BPS bag (can't remember exact model) but it's blue and I believe $29.99. It is a full backpack but can be broken down to just a shoulder bag. Full size it holds 10 3600 boxes, broken down it holds 4. Also has plenty off storage for other miscellaneous stuff.
  7. 7'3" MH/F casting
  8. I throw spinnerbaits exclusively in chocolate milk water, they excel there for me.
  9. My all time confidence bait, there was once a time where I didn't own any tackle besides tubes and tube jig heads. Simple times... lol. I used a Shimano Crucial 7' M/F spinning rod paired with a Sienna 2500. 10lb mono mostly. Tube jig head with exposed hook, dragging and snapping them around rocks. I've mostly stuck with some kind of variation of green pumpkin and watermelon. BPS Tournament Series are my favorite to throw. Also, don't be afraid to throw these in ponds, largemouth love em
  10. I fish a small farm pond regularly. Have caught many 3-4lb as well as one 6lb and lost an 8+ at the bank. They are in there
  11. PB then target crappie and pike
  12. My favorite senko alternative
  13. That's funny I saw that law come across the tv screen at the DMV recently.
  14. I'd look for a 7'-7'3" medium heavy/fast action rod and a 7.x:1 reel. Personally if that were my budget and situation I'd get a Daiwa Tatula CT ($129.99 on TW) then pick your poison on a rod, the sub $120 market is flooded with great rods. Can't go wrong
  15. Only rod i have that I can somewhat comfortably throw it on is a flipping stick. 7'6" H/F. If I had a swimbait rod id probably be using that
  16. No need. 7'6" H will get fish out of pretty much anything.
  17. So I was in the market for a shallow cranking rod earlier this year, TW had the Powell Diesel marked down to $40.. even after reading all the horror stories about this rod breaking randomly, I had to chance it at that price. The exact rod I bought was the 6'9" M/MF glass rod. I was immediately blown away by it, it's insanely light, comfortable and just has that quality feel. Well after one time using it (no fish even caught) it has a chip in the blank near the handle, it's days are most likely numbered. I loved the feel of the rod so much that I'm thinking about switching up my current arsenal (Veritas, Bionic Blades mostly) to Infernos. Just wanted to get some input from bassresource.. What do you all think about the Inferno series and Powell in general?
  18. K-Mart "ship my pants" is hilarious And Arbys "I need a gyro"
  19. My favorite way to catch them is heavy cover froggin. When that's not an option I have the most fun pitching laydowns, with ribbontail worms and craws.
  20. Currently using 15lb copolymer and it works well. P-Line Fluoroclear to be exact. I use it on my spinnerbait and jig outfits.
  21. 4" BPS Tournament Series tube
  22. I would continue to frog it. Vary your retrieves up until you figure out how they want it.
  23. I throw frogs with #65 braid, a MH rod and clinch drag down all the way
