Well, I know we all have some lures/ techniques that we prefer, mine is fishing jerkbaits. However, if it's all about size, maybe the answer is swimbaits, they are certainly the "new-new thing". Over the years #1 & #2 have been jigs and T-rigged soft plastics. 8-)

He and Johnny Bench were two of my high school idols. Rose for his hustle, Bench because I was an aspiring catcher and he was the "Best Ever". Rose in the Hall of Fame? NEVER!

This topic comes up a lot. This is what George Welcome wrote and where I stand: Let's get technical, as there are in fact reasons, not just some lame holdover from days past that put the handles where they are. What will move the fish during retrieval is placed to the strong hand! A baitcast is designed to be used as a winch, so it is the reel that retrieves the fish. Hence if you are right handed the handle is in your right hand. A spinning reel is designed to pick up unloaded or loose line, not retrieve the fish. Hence it is the rod that does the retrieval, so it is the rod that is in your strong hand. If you are right handed then the pole goes to the right hand. 8-)

Spinning tackle: Yo-Zuri Hybrid or Hybrid Ultra Soft #6 (.010" diameter, 11.9 lb breaking strength). Baitcasting gear: Hybrid or Hybrid Ultra Soft #12 (.013" diameter, 19.5 lb breaking strength). 8-)

Woo-Hoo! CONGRATULATIONS!

Great idear! ;D ;D

Try fishing a 6 1/2" Kut Tail on a 3/8 oz MegaStrike Evolution Shak-E2 jig, you might be in for a surprise! :

;D ;D ;D ;D

All righty then...Let's move on. Good night Irene. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator

Let's stay on topic. In the context of this thread, "Senko" means "stick bait" and any brand. For more on the suject, these links will do: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1121527643 8-)

That would be Pickwick. Hope to see you there! 8-)

In the summer my focus on the Tennessee River turns to striper and German brown trout on the White. If I'm in town, largemouth after work and weekends for a few hours at a couple of local ponds. With rare exception, I fish year around. 8-)

I have technique specific rigs, but they handle a number of lures within a class. As far as making adjustments, once I have a reel "dialed in", it rarely gets any adjustment. 8-)

Ask Bantam1 in the Shimano section.

That was the "gentle" suggestion, but now this thread is closed. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator
