So this weekend I'm looking to purchase a Lews tournament mb lfs. Closest store to me that has one is Dicks. Although sportsman outfitters website has it for 104 compared to dicks 139. I've never used this site before so I don't know if they maybe sell old models or it's some sketchy refurbished deal. Anyone have words of wisdom? All has anyone had luck with Dicks doing price matches for examples like this? ✌?

Good post bro

Have a 3 day stretch of 60+ days and sun. Might actually get out in Sunday. What should I throw besides a jig ?

You win

What lipless cranks do you guys have luck with besides red eye shads?

And the winner is^^

Gonnna have to try this

I meant jigs not hugs haha

Do you guys have problems running straight braid with hugs and such? Does it REALLY make a difference?

I have lost countless fish because I take one set of trebles off my lipless cranks for weedy situations

I would imagine it takes more grinding with the crush plate/teeth than baitfish do. I have found bass with calcium deposits from draws actually so have duller teeth

I tend to throw top water a lot mid day as well. But I stick more to pads or thick clumps of duckweed. But, some of my best fishing days have been mid day

Heard this from multiple sources. Don't know how true it is but it seems to add up in my head.

Central NJ here, I have a pond I go to around here that sounds a lot like this. LOTS of big bass and bluegill. I've had a lot of luck with hollow body frogs and lipless cranks. Try to find out for sure what the bass are feeding on. Check their crush plates for signs of crawdads (red deposits). Also are their teeth sharper than most? That would mean they mainly feed on baitfish. Their is also a lot of snags and downed timber in my pond so the frog is perfect. Don't have to worry about getting snagged. Just make sure you have the power to pull them out once they grab it. Kind of crappy that people can't just take your word for it and reply with help.

Located in central jersey, near Jackson. Had some luck at local ponds and lakes. Looking for a place to bring the Jon boat for some success

I often do the same. But my goal for this next season is to do more finesse fishing. Hopefully it will increase my catches when the bite is tough!

Kind of interested to see what you guys do that's considered "wrong" in the bass fishing world. For me, it's my total lack of use of spinnerbaits. I do not find them affective and would much rather throw a lipless crank. Now maybe I'm missing something in regards to fishing a spinner, but that's heresay. What are some things you guys do/don't that would make the old schoolers break a sweat?

lipless cranks are usually my go to when I pull up to a new or old lake. helps me get a feel for the bite/layout of the lake

I still am amazed that your speed spool gets out performed by my $100 LFS.
