Yea im going today, if I catch one I'll post it Basically the hard part/ bone of there jaw is cut and there jaw looks like this \/ pretend that's the jaw and right at the point there's a cut

so would using a tube be a good option for these fish?

At my local river almost all of the smallmouth have a gash in the middle of there jaw, any reason for this? it makes them hard to lip sometimes.

as long as the reel doesn't look super ridiculous and gets the job done I'm fine with that

No problem, I'd like to see what other people think, thank you for your help!

What pound do you think I should use? Would my ambassador c3 6500 be better? Then I think that would be too big! ? Lol i also have a Daiwa lexa 400hd but that's my Muskie reel that's definetly too big

Probably 30 pound braid. smaller 1oz bass swimbaits but the rod is mainly going to be for pike so big spinners and spoons

I'm looking at the mojo bass swimbait rod 1-4oz but was wondering if my curado 200i would look to small on it, if anyone has theys I'd like to hear what you think and even better a pic. And do you guys think it will be a decent swimbait reel? I have the 5 gear ratio

Ikr...

Iv used stickbaits, iv used a drop shot. I'm bank fishing. And bluegill are illegal to use in Minnesota

I've fished this local lake near me now for around a year. I have only ever caught 2 fish with lures, but as soon as I drop in a sucker minnow there right on it and I catch them. Problem is I don't have enough money to be buying bait all the time. Recently there's been bass everywhere from 1lb up to 4lb swimming all over chasing bluegills. I've tried everything at this lake and. Nothing seems to work, I don't know if it's pressure or what. A lot from people fish there but iv used stuff they don't use and I still can't get them to eat it. They just turn away as soon as they see it. Any suggestions? I need help bad...

Yea I never extend my arm out. I like to show how big it is compared to me. Nice fish! How long was it?

Anyone ever tried this stuff? I got it cheap at a garage sale and wondering how it is.

So I'm looking at theys Daiwa lexa reels in the pwrp version 5.1:1 in the 400 size for muskies. I hear a lot of people saying the bushing breaks on the normal lexa. Does the hd have the plastic bushing? Will it last longer pulling double 8's and regular bulldawg a?

Caught him again yesterday! Weighed 4lbs. The other one that was 4.41 must have been on ounces or something. Thank you guys though!

Yea there really fat right now!

It was 18.5in, I caught one the next day at 18in but weighed 4.41 and was not nearly as fat, for some reason it won't let me upload it

Thanks ?

Caught this one a while ago and was wondering what you guys think it weighed since I didn't weigh it.

Ok thanks guys, I know how to open it but not how to set it, I will send a picture of how it's set now in a bit.

So every baitcaster I used has been a magnetic break, so I turn the knob and I'm done. I recently bought a new reel but it's a centrifugal breaking system. On my magnetics I always had it turned half way or in the middle. I have the revo s by abu Garcia, how do I get it like I did on my magnetic?
