EWREX

sucks to see my local store go out like this.

yeah sour cream is DISGUSTING

just like how MLF gloats about how their format is so much more superior every 5 minutes on their broadcasts?

i've heard mixed reviews on them to be fair. i love my tatula and tatula elites so personally i do not have a reason to switch. i also don't see any pro-staff daiwa guys using them over tatula, tatula elites, and BLX's, which typically isn't a great sign either.

fuego is a fantastic option for the price point. you can also check out a lews speed spool LFS which is another great $100 option.

I enjoy seeing who had the best 5 bass limits in MLF tournaments. this would be a cool addition

i'm pulling for Gussy or Mullins

bass are opportunistic eaters and if they have the chance at a meal, they’ll take it

a waaaaaaays down lol

dang! definitely some serious quality. kudos to them

man i used to KILL it on whopper ploppers 4-5 years ago, and now i feel like i can't buy a dang bite on them anymore.

yum's quality is pretty outstanding given their price point

this is why he's the best angler in the world right now. the guy can do anything and knows when to adapt

i don't throw a shaky head often, but when i do it's on my all purpose 7' tatula medium spinning rod paired with a fuego 3000 - 15lb braid to an 8 pound fluoro leader

i'll take today and tomorrow for content filler until the classic starts. after that i won't give a hoot about what happens on smith lake!

Here's my list: @A-Jay to learn some high quality small jaw wisdom @WRB the man is an encyclopedia of big bass knowledge @Glenn because he is the OG! @Deleted account i thoroughly enjoy his sarcastic humor, i couldn't imagine him in the same boat @MN Fisher always helpful and never shy's away from his insight and opinion

i guess it is to "show off" your proud moment of catching a nice beautiful healthy fish. i used to take a picture with almost every fish i caught, but now i am more selective. although i always take pictures holding fish after a tournament weigh in regardless of size. no shame!

here are a few great options: (you can usually find good deals below msrp on all of them) Rods daiwa tatula casting rod 7'3" med. heavy ~$159.99 msrp daiwa tatula elite casting rod 7'3" med. heavy ~$179.99 msrp dobyns fury casting rod 7'3" med. heavy ~$129.99 msrp ark invoker pro series casting rod 7' med. heavy ~$149.00 msrp halo HFX series casting rod 7'3" med. heavy ~$149.99 msrp Reels daiwa tatula CT casting reel ~$139.99 msrp daiwa tatula 100 casting reel ~$169.99 msrp shimano SLX 150 XT casting reel ~$129.99 msrp shimano curado 200K casting reels ~$189.99 msrp

i'll have to start checking them out.

i throw big 6-8” boot tails on a mojo inshore spinning rod for stripers here in CT tidal rivers and in the long island sound. i don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to for freshwater bass either

haha that’s great! cabin fever at its finest

those sneaky pete and pistol pete's are awesome! i've been eyeing the pulse tail gill too. looks great

a 28 pound average bag on hartwell would be fun to see ?

as almost everyone else stated, daiwa or shimano. 13 isn't a slouch company at all, but when it comes to reels, i'm looking the other way

85 pounds??? that's insanely steep for hartwell. also remember the classic is only over 3 days. jordan lee won the classic on hartwell with 47 pounds.
