Strike King Burner Spinnerbaits & Buzzbaits
Love how the burners come though weeds and at their price point I'm a lot less apprehensive about where I'll throw them.

If you get 10 good strikes on a plastic, how many do you expect to land?
My worse time is after ice out. After not fishing all winter my mechanics are off a little and I get a bit antsy. Guess it is a missed fish if your setting the hook before they have it. But I say I start out 60 percent and go up as the season goes.

Favorite reaction strike retrieves or odd-ball retrieves that produce
I taught my wife a jerkbait cadence to Smokey Robinson and the Miracles going to a go go. Twitch on go works for early part of the year when you have to pause longer.

Spinnerbait trailers
I do most of the time. Fork tail, fluke, and curly tail grub but no paddle tails or boot tails. I think it can over power the spinnerbait on slow retrieves and give it a weird wobble.

Lead and plastics
Sorta the same principle as a fluke but you get to stay in the strike zone longer. Sometimes your pauses will take 6 all the way to 15 seconds. Just a matter of finding the right cadence.

Lead and plastics
I find a well balanced jerkbait works for me early in the year after ice out.

Lucky craft 127 slender pointer did well for me this past season.

Cross off another.
I fish lake saint clair. Fishing in a kayak in that body of water would require faith in humanity.

Cross off another.
Got a bass on a shakyhead today, that's one more technique that I'm learning. Before I started reading this forum if the bass didn't want a spinnerbait or frog, than I wasn't catching. Since then I've got em on jerkbaits, jigs, tubes, crankbaits, texas rig creature baits and worms, swimbaits, and dropshot. I fish from shore so i'm limited as far as how much water I can get to; but being able to pick it apart more effectively top to bottom sort of make it seem a little bigger. This site and its members have been extremely helpful. Keep posting and sharing because its been help. Thank you.

Getting experience and becoming better
Something that has helped me out when watching videos is to key in on hands. It seems that everybodys definition of twitch, jerk, rip, hop, or drag maybe different than yours.

Treble hook replacement question
ST-35 slighty less chance of hanging up on rock or wood than the stock hooks. Plus if you do at least you have a chance at bending out to get your lure back.

Crankbaits or Frogs?
I would have to go with frogs in my case. I fish a lot from shore in skinny water.

Tactics for clear + deep rocky reservoir from the bank
I wouldn't start with expensive cranks until I got a feel for the depth and bottom. Cheaper ones could work just as well especially if the bass have not seen that look at that depth. The clearance racks are a great thing for that.
