good to see you here in a positive atmosphere. you can for sure learn a lot.

pick one method and work it till you are good or comfortable with it. IE drop shotting or jerk baits. when you get comfortable with that then go to another.

Bassmaster Clausen stores some of his tackle in the loft of a close friend's shop. He went to get some gear he planned to use at Kentucky Lake. "Next thing I know I'm waking up on the shop floor," he said. "I don't know if I was laying there for 30 seconds or 30 minutes. I don't really remember how it happened."

welcome

lews or daiwa cant go wrong with either. daiwa has a magna that has the extra wide spooler that is great for light weight stuff

i am keeping mine the same as well.

welcome to the group

welcome from arkansas

welcome and there is a lot of info here for the whole family.

i have a team set but i am waiting till the last couple days for any changes or thoughts on some guys.

i do a t rig with a 5/16 oz worm weight. i will drag it slow and if i bump i stop and wait to the count of 3 one thousand and continue on. if i am in a current ill go a little heavier but just enough to keep bottom contact.

i would also have to agree with the texas rigged senko. but i use white or yellow on a cloudy day or a stained water and red or brown and watermelon if it is sunny and clearish water

i use 30lbs braid and like everyone else has said floro is a no go for my frogs. i have tried other things and it just does not work like straight braid. when that frog is out there the fish does not care about the braid.

so here i am on TW and i am up to 69.38. grrr thinking and thinking.

so i was thinking can a person put most of their eggs in one basket. where do you buy or get most of your gear from? e.i i bought 3 jerkbaits from academy and then i went to tackle warehouse and got weights and some jigs and 2 rods. then bass pro had a sale so bait monkey got me there too.

welcome. i was born in redwood city, CA in 83. moved to arkansas in 93 and been here off and on.

welcome. it is farly simple. you can go to the top and look at the articles and then you can also ask questions and comment here. i have tried other fourms and this one it the one i like the most.

man that totally sucks. i have done that. go for maybe 2 or 3 bucks and spend 30 bucks...

all this rain is going to flip the arkansas. i have had good days on low flow and very bad days after the rains. t rigs work very well. beavers and senkos. color to water.

toe shoes are a NO GO that is that. i use REEFs because they justfit and they have them with cotton thongs.

texas rig.....bango cant go wrong there. you can crawl it hop it. you can even do weightless so it gets more strike time... good luck and most of all have fun..

i am happy for you too..... hookem in the morning

T Rig worms are great.

for me i start with a T rig worm then i go to crank bait and since i will be on the shore and not to mobile ill go to a buzzbait.

that is a very nice fish.
