  1. Saw some 6th sense hooks in Walmart. Anyone used these before?
  2. What reel in today's shimano lineup would be the equivalent to the 50mg? Just looking to upgrade.
  3. I know all the baits we use are just tools for the game. Do you have a plastic or hard bait that isnt made anymore that throw but afraid to loose or the last few plastics of that kind in that bag?
  4. Exactly the size I was tossing.
  5. Do you add a swivel on your WP set up for the line twist?

    What's your set up for the 90 size WP?
  7. I fish ponds with a muck bottoms. I want to try to fish larger profile worms like bull worm, mag trick, yum mighty, and such on a shakey head/ swing head. Its hard to find a 5/0,4/0 with a lighter weight. I'm looking for 1/8 or 3/16 in that size. Does anyone know where I can find one? Maybe I just overlooked it.
  8. Where do you shop for tackle online? We all know about TW but is there another site that may not be as popular that you use or recommend?
  9. Anyone have success with the dark colors in stained water. I'm new to the swimbait game, just fish stained water. Looking at the 4.3 size with mostly bluegill being the forage baitfish.
  10. Zoom sapphire for the most part.
  11. I know a lot of folk use this color as a trailer color but any of you use this a stand alone color? Worms,craws, etc and how did you fare? I think I would do ok in stain water.

    I wanted some offset gammy worm hooks but they only had bronze in stock. I normally use the nickel black ones. Anyone see a big difference? I fish mostly stained water.
  13. Has anyone received the 2020 master fishing catalog in the mail? I ordered mine a while back but nothing yet.
  14. I see this spring will be chocolate milk for the majority of my fishing ponds. I normally throw black and blue but what other colors will work? I was looking at all black, and black and yellow. Thoughts?
  15. Hope you guys can help. I never really tossed swim baits since I fish stained water ponds mostly. I have one or two ponds that get clear late in the year. Has anyone used Academy's hard swim baits(bluegill in my forage mostly)? They look really nice for a beginner in swimbaiting.
  16. Do they ever go on sale? Looking for one for either horny toads or bladed jigs. They fit my budget but a sale never hurts.
  17. How are you using and rigging this bait?
  18. Yes, I'm early but preparation is key. Lol.. Does Siebert normally have a Black Friday sale? Need a few bladed jigs and some Strike King plastics. The normal prices are excellent but wanting to save on a bigger order.
  19. Is there a big difference in sensitivity between the two considering the price?
  20. No they just came out with their own "senko".
  21. Anyone tried their version of the stick worm bait?
  22. What do you tend to throw after a downpour summer thunderstorm?
  23. What else could you use this frog setup for? I thought about flipping but I mostly fish around wood. 50lb braid with a 7' MH/F rod. I fish from the bank as well. Suggestions?
  24. I know most fish in the warmer months and it maybe tough to keep the shelves stocked but come on folks. Went to BPS ( which is rare,prices too high) and was looking for a certain hook. Low in behold they were totally out of gammy hooks. I'm not saying a certain size but not one pack on the shelf. Academy does a little better in my area but they are low as well. Anyone in retail can explain why the stock remains so low during the period when it's needed the most?
  25. Sad day because my crucial rod just snapped on a cast. Sad because it was my 6'6" MH and they don't make them anymore. What rod do they replace them with now? Anyone replace one lately? Does Shimano reply quick? Yes it is old but I'm going to try to get another. I bought them years ago for the warranty, now it's time to see if they will honor it.
