  1. just a suggestion, jointed jitterbug black, spinnerbait chart/white booyah, frogs, lizards, i use manns hardnosed green pumpkin, 5/0 or 4/0 gammy ewg hook, 1/8 bullet weight [some people dont like manns frogs, whatever you feel comfy with] maybe a rapala xrap jerkbait, senkos, some 7+'' worms,1/4 oz bullet weights
  2. what type of hook are you using? i use 5/0 gama ewg, also just a suggestion manns hardnosed toads really can take a beating, one time i caught 4 big pickeral and 3 lm bass and i still have the frog
  3. i got the 7;1 sweet reel never had a backlash yet, for light lures i only have 3 brakes on, very easy to use but it did take a little bit for me to be accurate with it, now i usually come within 6- 12'' of a target, practice,practice
  4. its ok to talk to yourself, just as long as you dont carry on a conversation.
  5. about 3 weeks ago i caught an old 6' rod, reel and a old mepps2 lure, a few years back i caught a seagull, last year i caught a 20 lb rock deepsea fishing in about 300' of water. my buddy caught a owl on a homemade popper.
  6. hello everyone, i love fishing with frogs, when i first fished them i was using mono but as some people suggested to much stretch, then i switched to braid much better, also make sure hook is SHARP, even if its right out of the pack they might not be very sharp, i really never gave it a second thought before but it really does make a difference.
  7. hello everyone, went fishing yesterday in milton, northeast pond. only caught 2 pickeral, still no bass, caught both picks on 5/8 jitterbug, alot of traffic on lake, tournament today, also really windy yesterday, i threw out my anchor to slow me down a little, it didnt really work , when i pulled the anchor up i noticed there was some fishing line wrapped around the rope along with a very old rod and reel with a mepps2 lure still attached, the rod was a 6' shakespere with a shakespere longcast reel,.. wish i caught a nice bass instead.
  8. lbh, very informative, better explanation than that charlie moore guy or alot of other tv shows out there, thank you
  9. NICE FISH, CONGRATS
  10. i have a few different colors all jointed 5/8oz, when you cast it and it hits the water i like to let it sit still for 5-10 seconds then i start to reel it slow and pick up some speed, sometimes i will stop and let it sit again and start reeling again,you will know if you are doing it right by the sound blub,blub,blub SMASH
  11. i third that burley,bps has been horrible, stinks though i really like them too its just not worth the aggrevation, ebay is even faster lol
  12. i also have glide strips, and it really does make it really easy to launch and load up. just have to remember to leave it strapped until its halfway in the water so it wont slide off the trailer, and loading is super easy. imho
  13. hello, gonna try to go fishing sunday, i never used a jig before, i have three 1/4 oz strike king jigs and i also have uncle josh #11 pork frog 2 1/2'', can i use this trailer or will it be to gawdy looking? what other kind of trailers does everybody use? btw the jig colos are pumpkinseed and green and the trailers are red, green, and brown. i will be fishing between 10' and 40' of water. thanks everyone
  14. 1. jitterbug - jointed and weedless 5/8 oz 2.booyah 1/2 oz buzzbait chartruese/white 3.hula poppers 4.yo-zuri banana something 5. manns hardnosed horney swim toad 5'' bullfrog color, not really a topwater but you can make it be one, almost indestructible for a soft bait.
