BEST buzzbaits (Cavitron) and shakey heads (Shak-e2), period! Excellent spinnerbaits. Unique creature bait: MegaBug. And MegaStrike is THE BOMB!

Welcome aboard!

The BPS Lure Retriever is VERY effective!

I agree.

And then it comes down to preference. I prefer Shimano.

Great advice! Keep the G. Loomis.

Mike did two for me. I am impressed! http://www.delawarevalleytackle.com/

Rage Tail Baby Craw, Craw or Lobster!

WOW! Great pics!

Two days left!

Great idea! The perfect stocking stuffer!

Nice fish!

We usually have several wives that either fish with their husbands or find other things to do during the day. This is NOT a "boys" party. Your wife will be treated as a very special lady. If not, Keri (Glenn's wife) will kill any perp! Women are welcome whether they fish or not. I am positive your wife will have a great time.

Exactly the right applications!

Most "8lb bass" that aren't weighed would come in at around 5 lbs. I would guess that's about right. Nice fish!

Or just your favorite colors all the time! Seriously, color comes into play occasionally, but it's low on the totem pole in terms of importance. Take notice on any jig thread of all the "favorite colors". For example, I have just recently started fishing PBJ jigs, but have friends on here that swear by them. OO Mod fishes black and blue about 100% of the time! Me? This year it's mostly been the Siebert Big O Football Jig/ Rage Tail Lobster (Falcon). However, my go-to is still a black jig w/ blue trailer...Old school! Big O is more than just a bait designer, he is an artist. Go to the Rage Tail website and browse through all the color combinations he has to offer. I like a bunch of them and I am sure you will find a few you will like, too. The adventure begins... Good luck!

Well then, just keep it simple. I fished when I was a boy, but lost interest for a couple of decades. In 1997 I "discovered" the Senko. That lead to catching lots of good size bass and a few monsters! The Senko brought me back into the sport. Surprisingly, I don't fish this bait much anymore, but that's another story. This is my suggestion: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/13845-guaranteed-to-catch-bass/

Well then, I guess I don't understand the question. You are asking for suggestions, but don't want to try anything new? Maybe just stick with a weightless Senko and Fat Ika, I'm sure you will catch a bass or two.

Everyone needs a few black and black & blue jigs. 3/8 or 1/2 oz jigs/ Black w/ Blue Flake Rage Tail Craw

For enthusiasts, technique specific gear is fun to collect. However, three rigs cover all the basics: #1 6 1/2' or 7' MH baitcaster for jigs, some soft plastics and spinnerbaits #2 6 1/2' or 7' MM baitcaster for treble hook lures #3 7' MF spinning rod for lighter lures and a variety of techniques

Wow!

You guys should get together for a day. I fish with a bunch of guys around here.

Long Mike and I have a cabin and some room on the floor. NO EXCUSES!

I sent it to the MegaStrike e-mail address, your BR box is full.

WOO-HOO! Welcome back! :respect-059: :respect-059:
