Hey All, My addiction is showing up in the amount of plasitc baits I have acquired this year. I have 4 large BPS 2 sided storage bags and still struggle to be organized and get to what I want quickly. I truely believe most of these are probably overkill but not really willing to not have it with me on the boat. I have a new order from *** coming and just want your suggestions and experience to getting to what I need quicker. Do you put one bag together with favorites baits and colors and then catolog the rest? HELP Please. GO BIG RED

It's been my bait of choice since returning from Lake Fork this year. Bought them as a jig trailer and now I use them mostly t-rigged, 4-0 EWG hook, vary the bullet weight depending on depth and sink speed. I also am a huge proponent of Garlic Chartruse SPIKE IT. Four of us all using the watermelon red baby brush hogs, fishing timber, the only difference was mine was spiked. I caught 10 to 4, 3, 3 in a 2 and 1/2 hour period. GO BIG RED

Thats awesome Bert, we will get a date and I will yell at you. Tell Chad good luck at Amistad. GO BIG RED

Cajun, That looks like the one they installed in my boat. I used it for the 2nd time last night and it is so much better. Go Big Red

Hi Bert, Great fish, makes me jealous. I am trying to get my son down there in Oct or November depending on football playoffs. Any suggestions for which month and do you think you can get out with us? Rod

Palamor here, but I had 3 slips in a row and lost fish. Of course it wasn't the knot it was the tier of the knot. Make sure the tag line is in the right place up the line before you cinch. :'( GO BIG RED

I have 2 shimano curado's and 2 Revo's. I bought the 1st revo on the flea market cheap and gave it to my son. After using it as my back up plastics reel I fell in love and now just purchased the 2nd one to replace one of the curado's. GO BIG RED

I have a 100 and a 200. I love the 100 and would sell the 200 and replace it. To be fair my 200 is the high speed version and that may be the problem. The 100 is light and well balanced and in my hand 80% of the time. On another note I just purchased a Revo SX and love it. GO BIG RED

I believe quality is critical and you get what you pay for. However I do believe that you have to figure value in the equation somewhere. I just upgraded from a mid grade Cabela's brand rod's to a private builder in the Dallas Metro area named Mike Hendrix of Hendrix Rod's. I looked at Kistler, Powell, St. Croix and G. Loomis prior to my purchases, and decided for 1/2 the money these rods were extremely comparable and I'm thrilled with my choice. And besides that Mike calls personally and checks to make sure I'm happy and if theres anything else I need.

Mine has a drain.

I just had one installed in my Stratos Fish and Ski. What a difference maker, more boat control and no need to visit the Chiropractor after 10 hours on the water. What are your thoughts? GO BIG RED

That one came out of Praire View by Bennington. It's been good on the trees. GO BIG RED

It never fails when its time to share because the fish are crushing a certain bait or color, I only have 3 left and forced with the dilema of sharing. Never the oher way around and its something I have 20 of and would gladly share. But even with 3 I would give one and have 2 left. I'll never forget a guy named Mike Picou down on Lake Fork throwing 2 packages of flukes in our boat when we were clueless. And now it's my turn to "pay if forward". GO BIG RED

I like anything Watermelon and dip the bottom into chartruse Spike IT. My next purchase will be with *** and give it a shot. GO BIG RED

I like to put a Super Fluke on and use it in the grass. GO BIG RED

I was there also and went home cold and sad, you were just cold.

Great Fish! GO BIG RED (THE "REAL BIG" RED)

Lonestar, Coffey County, Melvern, wanting to get to Pony at Sabetha! As far as seening the Sooners in the Big XII Championship we would like that. I miss Thanksgiving and us having to play the pretenders from Boulder. And as for last year we coached ourselves out the game, you did nothing spectacular. :'( GO BIG RED ( The Real RED)

What a great trip and awesome memory. These stories make me say B/R trip to Clear lake. GO BIG RED

Nebraska leads the series with Kansas State 73-15-2, 5 national championships to 0, and we get to apply the butt whipping to Freeman at home this year. And I really think the picture below was a great no call by the Kstate officials. LOL. But you do have much better bass waters and I love to fish in Kansas.

(Football and Bass Fishing are heating up in Nebraska. Two weeks until fall camp opens for the Huskers and six weeks until the USC game! Went out on Friday afternoon for a couple of hours and caught five. The three small ones on a watermelon brush hog and a 3.2 and 2. 10 on a shakyhead jig with with a watermelon Zoom shakyhead worm. GO BIG RED Heres the 3.2 a bad pic off of my cell. http://s189.photobucket.com/albums/z311/rodgoben/?action=view&current=22.jpg

Very nice Bass, Well Done. Go BIG RED

Good job Jason, looking forward to getting together and doubling up on em this year. GO BIG RED

Wow, what a wealth of Info, you guys never fail to amaze me. I matched 20# power line with about 6' of 17# vanish leader. What's your thoughts. GO BIG RED

Thanks, we were at Walnut Creek.
