Reel rebuilding
I got a couple Lews that I'm quite fond of and instead of buying new reels I want to get these rebuilt or refurbished. I'd like to add some hi-speed bearings as well. Anybody know of a good place I can send these off to and have them redone? Thanks

Fantasy Fishing 2022 - Official Thread
Glad Christie pulled a win. And I had Brock Mosley in the top 10 with him, good tourney. Really looking forward to Fork. Like seriously who's not gonna pick Lee Livesay and Zaldain?? BMP has been solid all freaking year, he's due for another blue trophy.

I had made my picks earlier today and just went and looked and dang if all of them aren't high percentage picks now.

It's gonna be a slugfest. I predict it's gonna be bed fishing at its finest. 90lbs to win. Weather is warming and stabilizing, females will be moving shallow. It's gonna be a sight fishing game all weekend I'll update my roster later

My last minute changes paid off big time. I think Cliff will make a huge comeback, and really disappointed in Cox. Keep it up Crews and Livesay!

Floating worm
Zman has a floating worm and it works great. Limited amount of colors but it 100% floats. Fishing a floating worm is more of a technique, not just an individual worm that floats. We fish them alot in our local rivers, work the bait slowly, keep it 12" or less in the water column so you can visually see it, and just twitch it back to the boat.

What have you learned this fishing season?
Because I simply enjoy fishing rivers more than lakes and ponds.

Identify Lure
I still fish ? Just ain't posted much lol -its not a bomber long A, I ordered a few and they don't have a spinner on the back. And the way the bombers are molded you can't unscrew and add a spinner. This plug has been my number 1 producer this year and it's getting chewed up. They were give to me by an old timer. I still fish ?

Buzz Baits : Toad vs. Skirt ?
No skirt, but not necessarily a toad. Different soft plastics ranging from swimbait to sweet beaver. Mix it up.

Zoom, done?
After searching high and low for certain colors of Zoom Ultravibe speed worms I gave up and had a company make some in the color choices I needed. To my disdain I see this thread. Not the news I wanted to hear. Affordable and quality rarely go together like Zoom products. Hope the best for them

favorite creature baits for flipping/pitching
One that nobody's mentioned, and I hate to mention it, but I find myself using hula grubs more and more. Perfect smaller bait with a great profile. Bass get accustomed to see the same things and everyone is pitching some sort of bug. Mix it up a bit.

Anyone still throwing a single Colorado blade spinnerbait?

GY Hula Grub
Looking for some in 5" Junebug, I've searched the usual places anybody have insights on where I can find some?

Barrel Swivels
Weightless trick worm to minimize line twist. Other than that, they mean nothing to me

Highest speed retrieve reels
I'm one. Majority of my fishing is flipping, 8.1 is perfect. You summed it up perfectly.

Berkley Bullet Pop
I usually let the big ones go and keep smaller fish, but I had a new recipe I wanted to try so I kept a good mess. Actually lost one bigger than that at the boat. She probably would've been released. @HaydenS I didn't even pay attention to the discount tackle link I just went straight for the Amazon link ? I'll pay better attention next time. Edit: went and looked at discount tackle, I could kick myself. Great prices, I'll be saving that link

Berkley Bullet Pop
Ghost white is the color I need. 15$ a plug! I ordered 3 @15$ a plug 1 mudfish and it could be gone so it's nice to have spares. Be here next friday. Thanks I hadn't even thought to look on amazon.

Berkley Bullet Pop
Anybody know why these are sold out most everywhere. The Bullet 70 in Ghost is on fire right now and that color is sold out and backordered everywhere. Anyone have any sources on Berkeley baits? This is one popper that has outstanding action.
