Nice catch! Still waiting for ice to melt in Nebraska

I guess i'm lucky, i have a jar of some Uncle Josh Pork Chunks. I have never really even thought about using them but now I might have to try it. I got it from a guy at a yardsale he said they worked really well and just gave me a jar. If I would have known better I would have bought the rest off him too.

What rod would you use to throw that rig?

Is that it

If you could only have one lure/plastic for the rest of your life but you had unlimited of it what would you choose? Be specific like colors and stuff. Mine would probably be a spro topwater frog in the bullfrog color even though i can't really fish it year round the blowups on it are amazing.

Went to order one online but for some reason they weren't showing up so i called to order on the phone and there were so many people calling it took like 40 minutes but finally got a 7' mh 8.3:1 reel for a flipping, pitching, and frog rod. I guess that means it truly is a good deal if everybody is going insane over them. Hope they have some for you guys, i ordered early this morning to make sure i got one.

Went to cabelas yesterday and confirmed it. The rods i felt were heavy and just didn't feel very good quality. IMO it felt like a cheaply made rod from China. Good way to look at it though and it doesn't bother me if other people buy them i'll just never in my life buy one.

YES!!! Thank you for noticing this too!

That's what I've been wondering, I wonder if they are any good. It seems like they are using all the YouTubers to market them for the younger crowd who sees them fishing with a favorite rod and they immediately want it even if it is literally a broom stick. Now I'm not saying they are bad i'm just guessing they aren't a very good value because they don't need to be and the younger crowd still buys them. Just what i think but i've never even picked one up so I don't know.

I think he's saying to give into the bait monkey and buy two.

I had that same problem with p-line 20lb on one of my lower end lews. I have no idea why but it is now a big spool of line that i use as leaders when using braid. I think part of it has to do with all the line memory the line has and the thicker line diameter like FishDewd said above. Good Luck!

I'm 5'10" so i like a shorter rod so that i can hold the rod tip down to walk the bait and not bang my rod tip so i would say 6'6" unless you are like really tall. That's what I think i don't know if everyone agrees though because you lose casting distance with shorter rods.

For the mach 1 it's a great reel for the money. I don't personally have one but a friend of mine does and it's got centrifugal and magnetic braking i'm pretty sure and it casts far so it's a great real for the price from what i've seen. Good luck!

They have these poles that extend to get your lure unsnagged and out of trees, problem one solved. For the ticks they make bug spray that repels ticks, great stuff. And for tournaments you can partner with someone who already bought a bass boat with their college savings. JK, but i'm with everybody else get a kayak or even a little jon boat instead. Good Luck!

Sold my bow today so i could buy it and have a little extra cash. I've heard really good things on it so i'm gonna get a new 7' mh for an all around heavier rod for flipping pitching and frogs bc my old one was only 6'6" and wasn't great for out on the jon boat.

I absolutely JM signature series rods but either you have had really good luck or i had bad luck. I had one break on me from fighting a three pounder. I was so upset but i took it in and they replaced it so i am back to loving the rods. I don't know if mine had previous damage or what but i took really good care of it so it's not like i stepped on it or anything.

I always fished with the handle on the left when using spinning reels but my first baitcaster i had the handle on the right and it felt completely normal to me. It might be because i didn't realize there were left handed options, but i still keep the handle on the left for spinning and the handle on the right for baitcasting. I might just be weird but it felt as normal as possible when first using a baitcaster. I think part of it was that on a baitcaster the hand that controls the line is more complicated than the hand that just reels and i am left handed so i like to control the line with my dominant hand where spinning you don't really control the line anywhere near as much as a baitcaster so i use my dominant hand for reeling.

I would look used first. I have gotten $300 excellent condition combos for $75 on craigslist but I got really lucky. Check craigslist because sometimes you can find really good deals. Good luck!

Even without the few dollars off i'm still gonna try it out. Not too much to possibly lose considering it's less than most of rods or reels alone.

I have heard really good things about the rod and i have the older reel. The older reel is really good IMO and it is comparable to about a $150 lews reel. I am assuming the new ones are just as good but not certain. I'm planning on selling my bow and use some of the money to get the combo. I'm really excited for the sale to start so I can get myself a present.

I don’t know about those because I’ve heard they are pretty similar but I have mostly lews and tried Shimano and I could honestly feel the difference. At first it would take a couple casts to adjust to the feel of the shimano from the lews but it isn’t too bad now that I’ve had it for like 6 months. Just thought I would tell you that I personally feel a difference between lews and shimano but that may just be me. I have never even tried a Daiwa baitcaster because I am satisfied with lews but I think the next reel will get will be a lower end Daiwa like the tatula.

I would say totally and it really just depends on when and where for price but I know those public lakes can be aweful so sometimes I want to go knock on someone’s door and be like can I give you ten bucks to fish in your pond. I live in Nebraska so there are tons of people who own a few acres and have a little pond on it. What you could do to make it better is have people write reviews so that you know if the pond is any good because you don’t want to get ripped off paying to fish in a pond that has aweful fishing. It is also good to have that option because say the public lakes don’t have as much vegetation but the pond does it might be worth the few bucks to be able to fish a top water frog or punch or something. Good luck.

My heart and prayers are with them.

Hey, I asked this question a little while ago and most people said to use the soft plastic binders or the large, deep organizers and keep them in the original bags.

I haven’t tried them yet but really want to they look good for organizing terminal tackle but the price tag is a little much for me.
