Lamiglas SR705R is my favorite for deep cranking.

Contender for Lure Of The Year

Rage Tail Eeliminator

For the 25th consecutive year, the winner is... SENKO

My dedicated jerkbait rig is a custom Rainshadow Eternity/ Aldebaran/ Sunline Shooter Defier Armilo #11. I throw 110s almost exclusively.

My ears hurt.

We'll see about the fishing part, I might just guide you guys. How many on the boat?

So if she weren't so ugly she'd be pretty?

I don't think better gear necessarily equates to more or bigger bass, but for some it is just more enjoyable. My observation is totally different. Guys are often referred to as "enthusiasts". They enjoy collecting and playing with their toys as much as catching fish. Every hobby is like this.

I asked Hank Parker if he would fish a structure where his electronics did not show baitfish or predators. His answer was yes, there may still be something down there that your sonar picture looks like a rock or limb. If it is a promising spot, Hank says go for it!

A box of saltines has four packages. Crush one pack of the crackers, open and pour them into the trap (cage). Go away for an hour and when you come back your trap will be full. If not, move your trap somewhere else. An ideal spot is generally the mouth of a small creek that empties into a stream or cove.

Crumble a pack of crackers in the trap. That's all.

Very good coffee!

Not necessarily stronger, but stiffer. St. Croix medium is more like MH for other brands.

Oops...Sorry, me too.

Still don't get it...Whether it's a monster like that muskie or a 6 lb smallmouth we are still considering pressure on the rod and stress on the line. To some extent it's like fishing for Line World Records. Making adjustments away from ideal is confusing for me.

Well, this old dog can still learn new tricks and I know I am hearing from The Master. My drag is set to what I consider perfect and I NEVER make any adjustment during the fight. Calibrated that is 2 lbs on spinning tackle and light line; just under 3 lbs for baitcasting gear. Now educate me.

Why do have your drag set tighter for the hook-set?

The "Guarantee" is EXACTLY as described. If it doesn't work your way, try mine.
