Question about the 10% off TW gift cards. The site says this: Electronic Gift Card Discount will not be reflected on your order at the time of checkout. Your discount will be reflected on your confirmation e-mail. Well, I got my confirmation email but the price doesn't reflect the 10% off. Is this normal?

They better not discontinue them!!

Just to chime in, you'd have a heck of a time throwing ned rigs on casting gear. IMO ned rigs should 100% be fished on spinning. Unless of course you're fish heavy/magnum jig heads/worms.

Do you have the ExStream Core Top by any chance? Looks real nice but I've been fighting with myself about spending $160 on it. However, I am a believer in you get what you pay for when it comes to certain products.

Black Dog Baits. Here's a few nice videos explaining this bait.

I've had this bait for a bit now but have yet to throw it. I'm afraid it may scare the bass away. Paranormal Craw color.

This is the exact setup I use and it works great. I'm not a huge fan of the round reels so I went this route and am glad that I did. For line I use 20lb Big Game.

Lots of nice rods around that price point. Especially if you take advantage of sales. Dobyns Fury line. For a little more you can get the Sierra line. Shimano Curado rods are around that price point. Fenwick Elite Tech. iRod Genesis II. Just to name a few. All much better than Favorite.

What is low range to you?

Shellcracker!

Damiki Air Craw. Caught tons of LM and SM on this last spring.

Can't help you with either of those (I notice the Crank Launcher is rated up to 1.5 oz). You may wanna check out the Falcon Lowrider (7'9" heavy/moderate). It retails for $129.99 and rated up to 2 oz.

You and your gifs. Lol.

Question. How often do you have to apply the U40?

15% off Kittery gift cards with code 15OFF.

I did have a reply ready. Then I read someone is giving up on plastics. Then someone says they're giving up on frog fishing. Now, I forgot what I was even gonna type.

You can definitely use deeper diving cranks from shore. Especially if you want the bottom digging in/bouncing off the bottom. There are tons of cranks/squarebills out there. Strike King, 6th Sense, Lucky Craft are some of the favorites. For squarebills, the KVD 1.5 is quite popular. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Strike_King_KVD_HC_Square_Bill_Silent_Crankbait/descpage-SKKVDHC.html

Like others have said, you can use anything in the 6 to 8 range. But ideally, 7 or 8 is best for these applications.

I can't help you out, but did you see these are marked down on TW ($170, reg. $275)? Get gift card for 10% off while you're at it to pay for it. Jacket on sale for $200, reg. $325.

Yeah that shouldn't happen. A dab of super glue and you're good to good though. I usually experience a lost eye or 2 after a handful of catches.

If fishing in clear, open water, hard to beat a 6'8"-7' med/fast (or extra fast) spinning. If I'm fishing near cover/weeds, I throw it on 7' mh/fast casting gear.

Thank you sir.

So I'm looking to order something from Stillwaterflyshop. On their main page, and the cart page, there isn't a 'secured site' lock icon in the address bar. But when I go to checkout, there is. It is safe to order from sites like that? From everything I've read, I can't find any bad reviews on that particular site... Thanks.

I watched this video a few nights ago (great review BTW), which reminded me of the bait. And then I saw your post. I think I'm gonna have to get one. Now I have to decide on what bluegill color. Now if that doesn't look real...

Have you used these baits before? If so, what are your thoughts? I was eyeballing them a while back.
