If I don’t have to break through ice, I’ll go fishing.

Kistler helium 3 is on sale now 21 percent off .Should be at the top of your price range. I have that and a Loomis e6x. The kistler is way better than the e6x. Night and day difference.

Bass Pro has a better deal on the Elite 7ti . You get the totalscan transducer and Navionics for 499.

Chronarch MGL is definitely not just for finesse/light lures. I have one on my Helium 3 and it makes a good match.

I sit and stand while fishing. I put my old trolling motor on the transom when I bought my new one, it acts as a rudder and as a backup. I’ve had the Bigfoot switch fail twice while on the water in the past 3 years but they’re only $20. It’s a good idea to keep a small collapsible paddle in your boat in case the switch does go bad (or your battery dies).

I have an Endura Max on the front of my Pond Prowler, use a Bigfoot switch and use my foot to move the motor handle. The Bigfoot switch makes a world of difference.Takes some practice but it works.

All Pointers are made in Japan. Not sure what you mean by non-Japan. Are both jerkbaits that you're pricing made by Lucky Craft?

I bought the 6 pack with the free black shirt. Kind of disappointed that half of them were 1/4 ounce but still a good deal.

I have both and I prefer the Mojo. The E6X is way overpriced for what it is.

I've had a lot of luck with the Spro little john but I ordered some 6th Sense x75 to try out because TW had them on sale for $5.99 during there Christmas sale. Too soon to tell if they're as good as the Little John's.

If I'm bank fishing a small pond I try to blend in and go into stealth mode. In my boat I'd rather be seen that way I dont get run over.

Texas rigs, jigs,lipless cranks,flat sided cranks,spinnerbaits.

Flat sided crankbaits have a tighter action that will sometimes cause a strike in cold or pressured lakes. I like to hop a lipless crankbait off the bottom in cold water, can't do that with a flat side because it will slowly rise up. Both are my most productive reaction baits and I always have one of each tied on. Most days I throw both and let the bass tell me what they want.

My top lures for spring are a lipless crankbait and a flat sided crankbait like the SPRO Little John.

I have both. The handle is a lot nicer on the MGL. It is also smoother than my Ci4 but it is a lot newer. You can save about 40 to 50 dollars is you order a Mgl from Japan.

China or Korea

I’ve had a Bigfoot switch on my Pond Prowler the past 3 years and I can easily say it’s the best thing I’ve added to it, I can’t imagine fishing without it. The bad thing is they only last about a year if that long. I just bought my third replacement one last week.

Are these sale prices going to be available online or is it in store only.

I caught some bass on a trap doing this the other day. Let the trap sit on the bottom for a couple of seconds, then raise the rod tip about a foot or so. Water was 41 degrees.

Gotta have some Lipless crankbaits.

I have the Fury 705cb. It is good for squarebills up to medium divers but it is too whippy for deep diving cranks.

What size lures do you plan on throwing? I thought Kistler made a light MH/XF rated down to 3/16 but I don’t see it on the website. Maybe they discontinued it?

Managed to catch a couple of bass today hopping a lipless crankbait off the bottom. Water was 41 degrees. Here’s the biggest one.

7 inch Power worm T rigged with a 1/8 or 3/16 weight.
