Try the Johnson Silver Middle on the main arm of your Alabama Rig. Standard set-up for me!

I have never fished a Senko weighted. Other options for me would include the MegaStrike MegaBug, Rage tail Craw & Lobster.

Senko

#1 for me is the GYCB Kut Tail.

Wow!

I like monofilament or a mono leader for treble hook lures. Specifically, #12 Sunline Super Natural.

Nice fish, great pic!

Geez... Winning stringers are running 30 to 45 lbs

Welcome aboard!

Oops! I fish the Rage Tail Toad and Booyah Poppin Pad Crasher. I will add them to the "topwater" list.

I don't think it's asking too much to refrain from discussing, promoting or directing members to other fishing forums. Just google "Fishing Forums" and create your own list.

Thank you!

The oldest reel I still use is a Calais that I acquired about 12 years ago.

Not for me, but I did leave out the Zoom Fluke and YUM Houdini Shad.

I don't remember what you suggested doing to the blade.

Wow...I'm really trying to work up a tear for the Saudis and Big Oil. We have been getting "drilled" for forty years. To hell with OPEC, let's get the Keystone Pipeline online and contol the market.

If you want to fish just one rod, that's it! I happen to know a fellow who is "slightly above average" that carries 25 of EXACTLY the same Avid Rage Rods. He doen't fish hard baits either unless you count jigs in that category.

You are right...We'll make an exception here. Back to "General". -Kent

We could list a thousand examples. The first one that comes to mind that applies to me is fishing an A-Rig. Am I going to risk $30 worth of lures where there is a VERY good chance of hooking up with a 20+ lb striper or 10,000 ton boulder in strong current? I like #12 Hybrid, but it is the wrong choice for that situation.

I think so, too. Although one line will "work", there are better options for some techniques.

WTI $55.68

Baitcasting gear: #12 Yo-Zuri Hybrid (19.5 lb breaking strength) Spinning tackle: #6 Hybrid (11.9 lb breaking strength)
