Company Complaints
I have a dispute with 'company X'. Can I post about it here? While we can empathize with your frustration, the best course of action is deal directly with the company. Escalate it up the ladder, file a grievance with PayPal or Ebay (if they were involved with the transaction). File a mail fraud complaint with the post office. There are other options, but attacking the company in a public forum is not appropriate nor allowed. Such posts will be removed. Please read FAQs for an overview of what is expected from our membership: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/index.php?app=forums&module=extras§ion=boardrules

Crankbait Rod/reel For 1/4 Oz Lures
I highly recommend the Avid AVC70MM. Mine is matched with a CH50MG, but the Curado 50 would be an excellent choice, too!
-
Crankbait Rod Or Not?
For most crank baits Medium Power/ Moderate Action. For heavier lures and deep divers, MH or H Power. Specifically, I like the Avid AVC70MM and Pinnacle Perfecta DHC5-701CAMCB for most treble hook applications. For deep divers, Lamiglas SR705R is THE BOMB!

A Rig
3 1/2" LFT Live Magic Shad, weightless on the outside. Thin wire 4/0 Gamakatsu Offset Worm Hooks. Johnson Silver Minnow in the middle.
-
Understanding The Shad
Bull Shoals can be a very tough lake, big and beautiful and every inch of shoreline looks bassy, especially when the water is high. Unfortunately, like most lakes, 10% of the lake hold 90% of the fish. I would strongly suggest hiring a guide for a day or two, specifically Tim "Hot Dawg" Curtis. http://www.hotdawgguideservice.com/

Help, Getting Discouraged.
Maybe these will help: Guaranteed To Catch Bass I just cant catch bass Learning to fish on your own

Wolf River Memphis
No, but I have fished an hour or so up river. We caught lots of little bass, but nothing special.
-
Middle Tn Spawn
Nope, not from what my guys are saying.
-
Is It Necessary?
I think Big O only fishes one rod.
-
Higher Lure Costs
Price is a function of value. Some lures are worth they're weight in gold.

Jimmy Houston Comment...
I think you have made these comments or something just as absurd already. We're killin' ';em on the Rig and everyone else is, too! "Bad thing is even a Plug knocker is unlikely to get a stuck A-rig back " I have had 100% success retrieving The Rig with the Bass Pro lure retriever.
-
Higher Lure Costs
Buy stuff on sale. I have a HUGE collection of Pointers for example that have an average cost of under $10.
-
Middle Tn Spawn
Well, the TVA is not running water in the morning. If that changes for Friday and/or Saturday, I'm fishing Pickwick below Wilson Dam. Early we will target stripes if they are busting shad. Later we will get after the bass. I doubt much has changed so I will be throwing The Rig, jerkbaits, Red Eyed Shad and the Norman Fat Boy.

Whats The Advantage Of A Glass Rod?

Spinning Reel Suggestions
I haven't fished the Pinnacle spinning reels yet, but have been VERY impressed with the Optimus XLT baitcasting reel. The Optimus spinning reel looks sweet to me! http://www.pinnaclefishing.com/shop/p-140-optimus-hand-tuned-spinning-reel.aspx#page=page-1
