Log Catcher

Hello and welcome to the forum. Very interesting first post. Good luck getting your money back. I only order from companies I have dealt with before that I know are reputable.

I am worse than most of you about buying plastics in different colors. I buy mostly Zoom baits. I probably have a dozen different colors of baby brush hogs, and fifteen colors of trick worms. A lot of them I will use up and never buy them again. I also have ol monster and mag 2 worms in 5 or 6 different colors plus assorted craws in several different colors. There are plenty of super flukes and swimbaits in several colors. I am not sending them to anybody for proper disposal. I will take care of that myself.

You can mark a 3" circle on the wood. Drill a hole through the center then cut it out with a jigsaw. It might be a slow process to cut it out but it will work.

If you all don't quit talking about how many fish these catch I will be forced to buy one.

When using crankbaits I found I get hung up a lot less by switching out the treble hooks to EWG short shank treble hook.

You might need to check your fishing regulations. Some places have a certain size the mesh needs to be on cast nets.

I use a 4/0 hook on my senkos. I believe you will miss a lot of fish using a 1/0 hook. Senkos tear up easy any way so that won't make a difference. I have cut a little bit off after they get torn up and used them again.

I too am using the Lews tournament MB reels. Also have a BB1 for crankbaits. Spinning reels are Daiwa Fuego reels. Rods are all BPS. Either crankin stick, bionic blade, or old pro qualifier.

Watermelon red flake does not work for me. I have also found that just because a color works really good on one type of bait it may be worthless on another one.

To answer TOXIC and Choporoz I can't afford to by Yamamoto plastics. I use Gamakatsu hooks. I also apologize to snake95 as I did not mean to hijack his thread.

I am a little puzzled by a comment TOXIC made. I leave soft plastics rigged up on a couple of setups all the time and have never had hooks rust out from this. I use mostly Zoom baits so maybe that is the difference.

These may be hard to find. From what I can tell they have been discontinued. Our local Ollies store had them for about three bucks.

I only use leaders on my spinning rods. I have 10 pound mono for a main line. I add a barrel swivel and 8 pound floro about 3' long. The barrel swivel helps stop line twist problems. I don't like tying my lines together as I don't like the idea of casting knots through my guides.

You need to see how your bunks are set up now. On my trailer the original bunks had a gap between the carpet edges on the bottom side. I have replaced mine twice and set them up same way. If you need to leave a gap the 8" carpet will be fine. If you close them up completely you will probably tear the carpet up drilling holes in them for the bolts that hold them in place.

I have an old Browning rod. It does not matter which reel I put on it or what weight lure I use. It will not cast as good as my other setups.
