I can fit about 85 visions in 1- 3700 deep.

You have so much room in those boxes for more lures. If I did that I would need to buy another 300 plano boxes. At last count I had ~90 that are packed full.

I have the 7'4" Dobyns Sierra Light and I use it for hair jigs, ned rigs and drop shot.

This. If that bearing is bad it transmits through the whole gear set.

Yeah, and then you end up with this...

These two BGC gliders were painted by a local guy in our club. I can't say enough, how amazing these are

And it's a shame because the average weekend warrior that isn't going to be making thousands of casts per outing doesn't really benefit from those weight savings. I used to throw all day for Muskie in the late 90's with outfits that weigh 5 times what they do now without issue.

I used to use Zebcos all the time as a kid at my grandfathers farm pond. He had a big barrel of old rods that he found on the side of the road, bought at yard sales or at the racetracks. A lot of them were missing guides but I didn't care - I always used whatever line was on them and caught tons of fish. Pretty sure I tied overhand knots up until I learned a clinch knot around 12 years old. Those zebcos never really failed me and caught countless fish.

Best Shad Profile - Shine Glide Best Trout Profiles - DEPS 250, Baitsanity Explorer Best Wet Noodle Profile - Sixth Sense Draw, Storm Arashi I really don't like the SWavers. I also think the spro chad shad is garbage because it sinks like a rock. The Bass Pro glides are decent but definitely need a hook change.

It's my experience that when fish are just swiping at baits(especially large swimbaits and cranks) these hooks don't so very well getting hook ups. If the fish gets hooked you are golden but they cause a lot of missed fish. Also, since they are short shank you don't have as much space between the bait and the hook - if there isn't a rotating hook this can cause some lost fish. Overall my favorite trebles are round bends but there is a time and place for these as well - top waters are one area where I love them.

I am completely opposed to spinning outfits for anyone starting out - especially kids. When we are talking cheaper ones they tend to get loops and coils all the time. Zebcos are bulletproof for the most part. I can't express how ticked off my dad was when 7 y.o. me had a spinning outfit in hand and I had it all coiled and wrapped up out on the john boat. Lol For kids something that keeps them engaged or focused. So a moving bait they can keep chucking out there or something under a bobber so they can watch for those bites.

All my browsing is done on an Android. It would be cool if a rotate picture option was added on the server end.

Been playing with the Crawford knot a bunch. Very strong. Otherwise it's always SDJ or Palomar.

The first expensive reel I ever bought 25 years ago. Sadly mine was stolen a few years ago but I was able to track one down and it is back in rotation. I wish I could have found a pristine one - my favorite reel ever. I just cleaned and tuned mine. I had to replace the handle since the old handle just gave way.

Check that the spool shaft isn't bent. I have seen this be a problem. It could also be the bearings are not seated correctly that support the spool shaft or the spacers that are on the end of the spool shaft are not in place. I would look at those first

You only need 2 colors of top water - white and black. And what's even more wild - all these colors of top water, the bottom which is what the fish mostly sees is almost always white or black.

Mickey from 3:16 recently had a video that is on his Instagram about the mission fish and the history of these baits. All because Milliken had to rip him in one of his videos.

Berkley keeps getting way too much credit for ripping companies off. It's a shame really. I sort of get the bass mafia one because Zaldain wanted the magdraft improved and Megabass wouldn't budge.

A few months back I traded a bunch of my kingyo vision 110's for some stuff and got about $100 for each one. Then megabass just dropped a bunch. Oof.

Or you could just throw down a $50 BILL and I am sure they will enjoy that as well while admiring the bill as they put it in their billfold.

The wet rag is fine but as mentioned the side to side play should be nixed and hold the line all the way up by the first guide. This will alleviate all your problems. Also, make sure the spook knot is as small as possible and manipulate the forst few cranks of line so it starts perfectly level.

Whenever I post pictures it automatically rotates them 90 degrees. When selecting it, it shows up correctly but once I post it, boom sideways. I don't see any options to rotate it. Has anyone else had this issue? I tried rotating them 90 degrees before posting, and it keeps it rotated. Perplexed.

Got a couple baits - one is a wake n crank and the other is a prototype glide to try out. Pretty psyched.

One time 25ish years ago I was fishing a spinnerbait on a 2pc rod. I hooked a fish and as I was fighting it, the top section came loose and went shooting towards the fish. The line broke. I lost my fish and the top of my rod. That was the last 2 piece I have ever owned.

Do they sell these at bass pro?
