Gamakatsu 3/0 EWG

Well, I think exaggeration is expected, but 10lbs is a benchmark throughout most of the country. If you are going to claim double digits 1) you need to weigh it and 2) have a picture. Otherwise, I'm good with whatever you want to call it because I don't really care to challenge your bluff. I really like AJ's videos with the fish being caught and the actual weigh-in on display.

Somehow I have overlooked the bait this year... Rage Tail Baby Craw, T-rigged, 3/16 bullet weight. I fished it today and will be using the bait at some point every time I am out this spring. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Strike_King_Baby_Rage_Craw_3_9pk/descpage-SKRBC.html

Welcome aboard!

Another "500 year" flood?

Throw what you like. I have been fishing the Senko since "discovering" it in 1997. I like the Fat Ika, too!

River rat here.

TERRIBLE habit. Many if not most bass are thinly hooked and double hooking will dislodge those hook-ups.

I ordered the GLX 842C MBR

T-rigged, 3/0 EWG and 3/16 bullet weight.

I broke my GLX 842C So, Xpeditor to the rescue...I am considering the NRX+ or Conquest. Your thoughts please.

No "old school" for me. I am a fan of "The Next Big Thing".

Good luck!

You mean no logic or common sense?
