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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think it count as tackle storage. I mean it has compartments right.

Jackall squad minnow runs 1 to 3 feet.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Deep diving crankbait might be worth a shot.

Been working on jerkbaits this spring its been going ok for someone new to it. 5 bass and a pike, bigger stuff like 127 slender pointer and 115 squad minnow has got it done for me. Only one jig bass last year going to have to work on that along with dropshot. I fish from shore so hard to guess if I'm doing something wrong or they're just not there.

Owner EGW plus. When the bass knocks the bait down the hook on the bit there is a lot more exposed hook in its mouth. Also decent gage wire and nice cutting point.

Something that has help me when I throw lighter jerkbaits on spinning gear. After the jerk or twitch I reel in the slack about 80% while moving the tip of the rod back toward the bait. I don't reel and jerk at the same time with spinning gear.

Out of my lower end spinnerbaits I like my strike king burner. Comes though weeds nicely and has a good amount of flash.

My wife and I own about 70 spinnerbaits. Picasso, Booyah, Strike king, Yamamoto, War eagle, Lucky craft, Terminator, Stanley Northland tackle, and Culprit. The main thing to me is the wire, hook can be sharpened, swivels and skirts can be changed out. Even eyes replaced. But there no answer for a weak wire.

Just have to keep in mind what type of water clairty your fishing and if you need to go for flash = willow blades vs thump/vibration Colorado.

Trim the tales/legs about 1/2 to 1 inch and check hooks to make sure they are sharp. Also check that the frog body is up and forword on the rigging. If it slides back it may interfere with you hook set.

Yeah they're a bit behind this year. Got this one sunday bedding wear on the tail.

1/2 oz tube jig and crack em. Always helps to have something different that nobody on your waters throws.
