The Crush Flat 75X squarebill works - catches fish... X2

Well, I am a fan of high quality rods and agree that they "can help increase catch in a variety of ways". However, reels make the "fishing" more fun. I want reels that are VERY user friendly and perform flawlessly.

Man, don't ya love it when the fat girl sees the boat and makes her run? Great video!

Fish them as an alternative to a spinnerbait. Sometimes nothing more than a steady retrieve works great. Another suggestion is ticking the bottom with an occasional pop. My main rigging is with a white skirt and a white Rage Structure Bug. I have also had great luck removing the skirt and using the Rage Tail Cut-R as a trailer.

Looking forward to another Royals/ Cardinals match-up. Let's get this party started!

No, never.

6 something is a good all-around ratio.

Hybrid #6 has a breaking strength of 11.9 lbs. As Choporoz noted, any kink is a weak spot. The fluorocarbon component in the line can crack, but with any line you must be diligent in checking the line for cuts and abrasions.

Rig it vertically on a Rage Blade. Another option that worked well for me last weekend was T-rigged: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/163835-its-on-at-pickwick/

Welcome aboard!

Yo-Zuri Hybrid works for everything. If you want to get more technique specific, use monofilament for treble hooks.

For me it would be all reel, the rod can wait.

WOW!

Well, here is a simple solution for spinning tackle: Yo-Zuri Hybrid #4 .009" diameter, 8.5 lb breaking strength or #6 .010" diameter, 11.9 lbs breaking strength For baitcasting Yo-Zuri Hybrid #12 .013" diameter, 19.5 lb breaking strength

And now the bar has been raised a couple of notches: https://www.crazyhotseeds.com/top-10-worlds-hottest-peppers/

I do...Thank you!

My go-to square bill is the Norman Fat Boy (redear pattern) You need a couple of KVD Red Eye Shad, too. One should be blue & silver. Another suggestion is 6th Sense Crush Flat 75X

What's up with that?

That was easy.

Another of my top riggings: White skirt/ white Rage Structure Bug

I use to make chili hot, but most people, including my wife and kids would not eat it. So, it thought I really knew "hot" until a couple of years ago when I was introduced to the ghost pepper. http://nypost.com/2015/08/04/eating-ghost-peppers-could-kill-you/

The Devil made him do it!
