  1. They might be a craw or a baitfish. I fish them horizontally on the Chatterbait and J-Rig; vertically on a swim jig.
  2. Rage Tail Menace
  3. Wait for the holiday sale at TW.
  4. Give jerkbaits, lipless (RES) and Bandit 200 a try. My #1 lure is the Rage Tail Menace followed by BPS Tender Tube #71 and GYCB Kreature.
  5. Okay, just a thought. Maybe something to look into down the road.
  6. The cost of living down here is probably less than half of what it costs in the Minneapolis area.
  7. If you lived up north you would have the good sense to move!
  8. Wow! Looking through some "reserves" and found a 10-15 year old BRAND NEW! I will be giving it a spin after replacing the skirt with a Lumaflex.
  9. Please put your posts and pictures in the appropriate section: Other Fish Species -Kent
  10. Kick it up a notch: https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-sz-001&hsimp=yhs-001&hspart=sz&p=rage+tail+menace#id=1&vid=69f4499a5a1e890f032bfe79c7558822&action=click

  12. How 'bout "green trout"?
  13. An average striper here in the Mid South is 10-15lbs, with lots of 20's and an occasional 30. My main set-up is an Alabama Rig. I string #40 Seaguar Smackdown with #15 Seaguar Gold Label leader.
  14. Hmm... I thought Lake Fork's claim to fame was the flooded ponds that produced trophy bass in the lake from day one. Along the road the lake has produced state records and the greatest number of bass for the Texas Sharelunker Program. https://texassharelunker.com/ When we had a BassResource Roadtrip at Lake Fork both Glenn and Keri caught Personal Bests. Our big fish was north of 11 lbs. We had a great turnout and everyone caught fish. As a natter of fact, most of the crew found at least one five pounder. My big bass would have weighed 23.4 lbs, but it got away!

  16. You may be referring to the same hook, but I'm using the Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook #4 & #6. https://www.gamakatsu.com/product/octopus-hooks-circle-offset-point/
  17. Really... Gimmicks and gadgets are the curse of the sportsman! and also the crazes that hit, I’ve seen hundreds come and go, I remember when the flipping craze hit, everyone had to have a flipping stick, never caught a bass that way always something latest and greatest! fisherman means gullible and stupid I guess? a sucker is born everyday I guess? most successful and reliable lures are inexpensive no name generic baits like the humble single tail grub
  18. Trolling is defined as creating discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people by posting inflammatory or off-topic messages in an online community. Basically, a social media troll is someone who purposely says something controversial in order to get a rise out of other users.
  19. Well, test it on a scale to quantify "the feel". First of all, it's fun. Secondly, I think you will be surprised by actual weight. My spinning reel is set a little shy of 2 lbs; baitcaster under 4 lbs. I NEVER make any adjustments while fighting a fish.
