I make my own but it's one of my main baits I always have. I use grass pigs, cane thumpers and the BPS version of those as trailer typically

I use a Lews laser SG1 6-6 ML with an ardent 2000 & 10lb braid no leader

According to this weeks what new at tackle warehouse those are basically the same

6'6" MLF is what I use

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that does this. I have all my soft plastic catalogued on an inventory app by lure type then brand then color. I can search by any keyword after that

The wind might be too high. The one in LaSalle they shut down at 15mph I think. I know some people that go to powerton but all they do is catfish.

Last weekend in March they stock trout at my local pond, that's when it starts for me.

I bought two from there on thursday and they got here today.

I didn't go last year but the previous year I think it was the second weekend of March.

6.8

Last one I got from fishusa I ordered on Friday and got it on Monday

This. But jokes aside I have split on my bass rods and full on my panfish/trout rods. It's all personal preference IMO.

Humps, rip rap, sunken trees, stump fields, basically everything you can see honestly.

I also do this but I think you meant paper clip unless it's a really big jig

Good question I've wondered that myself. TW shipped one to me in a tube that you could have dropped off a cliff, BPS however sent me one that looked like it was drug behind the truck to my house. I had to return it to the store which took away the whole point I ordered in since the store is an hour away

They're my main plastic company along with berkley. Nice balance of value and performance imo

This for myself except for swim I use single tail or paddle tails. I also like single tails on horse heads with an underspin

I caught my PB large mouth on a backlash

I use z-man breaking bream and I've seen some custom ones on eBay that look nice.

I remember that video now that you say that I'll have to re-watch it

Why upside down with the swimbaits?

Ike did a video on this last week or so

2008 sebring hand me down from my wife. I put a hitch on it to pull my pond boat and I get about 28 mpg

Do you dip them in the jar or brush paint them?

I got one last week haven't had a chance to fish it yet but appearance wise looks ok.
