I fish all type of lures with the 3 I got. I have one for plastics, crankbaits/rattletraps, and one for top waters.

I was thinking to doing to a all white and white/char skirt. Good idea?

Hey guys, I wanna some feedback. I saw they was looking for pro staff members. I applied and got accept. I have heard mixed reviews. Also, I got a email stating that I get a discount for their products. They state I have to wear the shirt and upload photos of my catches. They also state that some of their members got tackle endorsements. Anyone else heard of them or has been on their pro staff before? Thanks, John

I been hitting my local Walmart's and getting in the Yum $1.96 box and been getting all the dingers/senkos. I have found some awesome colors. One of my favorite finds was a cameo color.

I am the other way around. I started bass fishing about a year ago and been throwing worms like crazy. I HATE creature baits I have never done any good with them. As for jigs, they are in the same boat as creature baits. I am mostly a top water and worm guy. My favorite color of worm is yum dinger carolina pumpkin chartreuse.

I have read alot about rigging up more then worms. CREATURE BAITS! Has anyone done any good at doing this?

I do a lot of wacky rigs on worms especially yum dingers 5 inch. Finding the middle of the worm is key. What I do is fold the worm to end to end and the middle should be after the smooth bubble end in the center. This is where you put your hook. I have caught my last two PB bass ever since I been worm fishing which is bascially this year. Some people put O' rings/rubber bands on it to keep the worm together after being hit so many times. I also switch it up from weightless, split shot, and bullet weight. LOL Guys around my part never heard of a "weighted" wacky rigged. One guy just looked at me. LOL

I got a black max 3 and it works fine for me and I fish off a dock.

Part of your statement is right. Its not Gary but, Yum LOL. I found a pack of Zoom worms I am going to give a try this week.

Spinnerbaits, chatter baits, jigs, and crankbaits.

Really If you want to do a "redneck" Carolina Rig. Take a 3/8 size slide it up about 10-12 iches from the hook and it does the same as buy a wacky weight hook. Save some $$$.

I just started bass fishing a year or so ago and still learning. I am starting to get a feel for my go to baits: Black/Red Rattletrap, Dinger/Senko, Buzzbaits. What are yours?

I had a friend look at it that rebuilds them. Says it would take around $40 to fix all the problems. So, I may go with another one.

Got a question: I got a abu garcia n 5000c rod and reel from helping hands for $2. The reel is shot. I want to put a spinning reel on. Can it be done?

Awesome Pike Co. here. I fish Dewey, Fishtrap, and Painstville.

I am kinda in the same spot you are when I started bass fishing about a year ago. I fish a murkey, greenish, brown water. I would pick up some rattletraps (back/red for darker water) , Walmart $1 spinner and buzz baits (yellow/red skirt) (made by strike king btw). Rebel topwater lures like a Popper R and a Frog Top water and a frog hulu popper.

I been reading all about different water color for different blade finishes. Its a science that's for sure.

just got my spinner blade assortment packs for Jann's Netcraft store. Here is a picture of all the brass, white, and dark color blades that came with it. I will be fishing in greenish, brown, and muddy water. I need some blade combo ideas. The only real skirts I got for this type of water that is solid color is red, black, and white. Thanks, John Thanks, John

I am looking to get different color blades to make some unique blade combos. I am not a big fan of the price of brass/gold ones tho. Would be it be better to take be extra silver ones I got and paint gold with some flakes in it and let them dry????

Uh....no. It talks about different blades setups on spinnerbaits.

Spinnerbait blade setups

What is everyone opinion on putting a barrel swivel with safety snap connector on end of jerk baits before putting it on your line? More lure natural movement or no?

Just wondering!?!?!?!

I got a couple with a few buzz baits and caught a few 5 pound large mouths.
