  1. Thanks! You prefer that to an ewg or hybrid hook with the point texposed?
  2. I will pitch the thick stuff but am looking to expand on techniques in and out of the milfoil. I’m really loving the c rig but it’s pretty cumbersome
  3. It used to be jdm zillions. Under two years ago you could have bought them for $190. I should have bought ten.
  4. Because a leader in equal strength is much larger and impacts the worm much more. 20lb maxcuatro power pro is equal to 5lb fc
  5. I’m looking to fish an application of say 20lb braid around grass on a whacky rig. I’m looking to use hi vis braid so I can detect slack like bites but I want to eliminate the leader due to the strength needed impacting the bait. I’ve seen where you can use dye markers or liquid dye. Has anyone done this and do you find it to be sucessful?
  6. I keep having expride guides slide out of their holder, particularly a few close to the tip. They can be slid back on but they neeed secured so they don’t slide. The wrapping and the hole for the guide to slide back into is there. Is there an epoxy I just seal it down with ?
  7. Whats with the shrink tubing ?
  8. Bc2 has been a great stick for this. 12lb, you must be fishing open water
  9. Looking to toss a c rig this year in Ontario, lowland lake with lots of milfoil. Thinking mostly 3/4 but a 1/2 oz at times. Instead of going straight fc I was thinking braid to a fc leader. I’ll be throwing it on the steez bottom contact. I was thinking of actually using 50lb cortland silent braid as main line because it’s still decently thing but very silent for pulling tha weight through the milfoil edges. I’d then run a 16-18 shooter leader. What are your thoughts on this ? Would you go straight fc or do you find braid to leader can work well? I figure the braid and strength in the milfoil would be ideal. Idk though, maybe that leader is going to break a lot given the weight location (bottom of the lake) and the fact that almost all fish are going to wrap around some stalks? What setups do you like throwing around milfoil? I’ve had some success on the c rig this year and I’d like to make it more of a staple.
  10. Need this in left at this price. Have you used this reel before ?
  11. Conquest 844. I have two because one isn’t enough.
  12. Not that you asked but I think maxcuatro is the best braid in terms of braids that aren’t smooth. If you need to go smooth cortkand silent braid is the sauce for all things flipping. It’s works for frogging and winding too but a little expensive for that. 131 is next followed by all the others
  13. What bait is that?
  14. Thanks! What about is is better ?
  15. Has anybody fish the beat and advantage ? Any thoughts ?
  16. What is the value of the rod?
  17. Flipping sticks I like Expride 7’7H Expride 7’6XH Expride 7’6 H Expride 7’3XH <— weighs nothing, crazy power
  18. 1/16 3/0 or 4/0 for caffeine shad?
  19. Have any of you fished both of these? I really liked the bass assassin down in Florida. If so, what hooks size do you like?
  20. I’m planning on going on the small size. Largemouth, Florida to Ontario. Fishing 3 ft in Florida to 18 in Ontario. Any other items like clacker, beads, stoppers would be great! What do you guys love?
