Well, that's another point I will make. Store bought (farm raised) shinners outfish native threadfin, probably just because they are "different". The retailers get all their bait from the same wholeseller in Arkansas. The better shops have three sizes. I buy mine from two stores so they keep the biggest ones in stock for me. You cannot be frugal with bait, if it ain't lively, throw it away and stick another. For two guys I liked to start with six dozen with artificials mixed in. Surprisingly, the Rage Menace sometimes is a better option. Other options we mix in are BPS Tender Tubes, Red Eye Shad and topwater.

Little minnows are for crappie and sauger. Step up to bass baits and you will catch bigger smallmouth...GUARANTEED!

Thanks for the report. I will be fishing the lake next month.

Have not done any business with them. My suggestion for any company you are not familiar with is to pay with PayPal for added protection.

Purchasing gear from several Japanese retailers is seamless. https://japantackle.com/ https://www.ichibantackle.com/

You can swim any jig, but the one pictured is referred to as a hair jig.

Still my favorite!

Hmm... I probably caught a good fish last week and expect to catch another next week A skunk means nothing to me.

That has NEVER been an issue for me and I fish swim jigs a lot!

If it is alive, you are good to go. I have had a lot of luck on Guntersville ripping a Red Eye Shad right through the nasty stuff.
