Found these on the bay...looks like it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174267241625 These may be an exact match... https://www.ebay.com/itm/333595055341

Medium power or less on a lot of light plastics, but not usually a moderate action. It all depends on the plastic, the hook and where I am fishing it.

I fish some heavily pressured small water. The water is pretty clear. I fish alongside 2 people that use straight braid whereas I use 20 foot 6lb fluoro leaders... I out fish them about 3 to 1.

Plopper today. And I must say, there is a lot going on here... It looks like there were 4 main lines going to it or something - I dont know. Check out the picture. The main line was #4 that I recovered from a ball of sticks near a goose nest on a tiny little island. The goose wasn't happy as I was grabbing it but I kept her fended off with my kayak paddle. Also, the front hook was pretty damaged and the back hook is missing. This just proves, to me, if you see someone fishing that is struggling and/or young or obviously new to fishing, STOP and help them out. Helping out a fellow angler is the best thing you can do in a day and will make everyone happier. I always carry 2 pairs of finger nail clippers in my pants and have given a few away so someone can clip their line and retie as needed.

Spooks look like fish busting on the water. They can be very effective in the right situations.

On my Tatula LT 3000 I get about 10-20 feet more than people throwing 2000 sized reels with a ned rig.

After getting the Tatula 3000 cxh I can't imagine another size. It's lighter than most 2000 and 2500 size reels and has a huge spool to keep line twist to a minimum and casts really far.

I gave it a shot and had no such luck here... to be fair the chatterbait bite has been completely null and void though so far this year.

What did I do to you to deserve such punishment? It's bad enough the monkey is clawing at my back!

I spend almost all my money at the local shop. Nothing beats great conversation and a rapport with the owners.

I only have 1 left but the old Bagley Balsa Killer B's. Man, I love those. Wish I had a few more.

Swimming in water this cold for a fish isn't always a good idea. Glad you got her safely.

After using these for a bit on and off this spring...the zako is superior. The elasticity of the Razor Shadz makes the feedback to the rod less than stellar imo. I have nothing scientific or performance based but I have not liked the way it feels. This is all based off using jackhammers.

Ever since the Bassmasters this spring where that pattern did well, everyone bought them up. They were great for Guntersville but I doubt every fishery is going to match that success.

The bottom one looks like a Lucky Craft pointer to me. I have no idea on the top one.

With spinnerbaits you really have to perfect your cast. You need to learn how to get that spinnerbait to hit the water untangled and silently. I see a lot of people rainbow bowing their spinnerbait out there and that is not ideal in shallow water. There is a lot of good advice here and one I don't necessarily see beyond the silent casts is making LONGER casts. This can be key in highly pressured areas where bass see and hear boats all the time. If you reach out further you can illicit a few more bites...

https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Heddon_Zara_Spook_Walking_Bait/descpage-HZS.html The saltwater version will just have hardware for saltwater use. You don't want it for freshwater bass. Super Spook: 5" - 7/8oz Zara Spook: 4 1/2 - 3/4 oz. Super Spook Jr.: 3 1/2" - 1/2 oz Zara Puppy: 3" - 1/4 oz. For walk the dog baits I think the Megabass Giant Dog or the Lucky Craft Sammy are better and easier to walk. The spooks work great but require a bit more work with the rod tip IMO.

It's a gamble. But if you the bite tapers off or you are only catching small fish it's time to move on... if you move and dont catch anything, in your mind, you will have chosen poorly.

If I am going all day (12+ hours) I will take anti diarrheal pills and then proceed not to eat all day.

I use daiichi light wire hooks in size 6

I have tons of jigs and swimbaits...Jigs and straight swimbaits are the absolute worst baits for me. I would rather tie on a stick and cast it out.

I really want to like them. I have a big box of them and lots of trailers. They are one of the least productive baits for me...

Along with lost lures and having to replace horribly backlashed line. I have a buddy I am teaching and he wants to cast as far as I can and has had this problem...

I don't think you do. They don't catch fish either way so why waste money on trailers?
