  1. Probably 80 percent of the baits in my tackle room fall into this category, unfortunately. But I have since learned not to be so susceptible to hype.
  2. The one MH spinning rod I have is a Daiwa Tatula dedicated to larger shaky heads in deeper water and it works well: like to keep my left hand on the line to feel what's going on and a spinning rod makes this easy in my opinion.
  3. A longnose gar is more like a Cajun pickerel or pike. 😉 The real Cajun muskie is the alligator gar...tried to land one once that was all of four+ feet on 10# line and a spinning rod. Had the bright idea of trapping it between my boat and the shore of the bayou so I could save my crankbait. As soon as it was in shallow water it began flopping furiously and broke the line. 😳
  4. No bass yesterday but caught this toothy dinosaur (longnose gar) pitching a Baby D Bomb to some shallow wood.
  5. Wow. 😳 That rod definitely needed at least one (probably more) extra guides. If the line merely touches the blank it will reduce casting distance: never seen it that bad. Poor cost-cutting build by the manufacturer.
  6. Starts 11/22
  7. Tiny zip ties work well for me. Cut them off with side cutters once I have wrapped enough thread to hold the guide in place. If needed, I also will put a wrap of thin masking tape behind the guide ring on small single footers so they don't move backwards while wrapping.
  8. What weight Ned head did you use? I'm looking to give them a try myself.
  9. I think you're correct...so I now resubmit it as the smallest creek chub ever caught on a full sized crankbait 😁
  10. Do I win?
  11. So did I originally...but ran out of old spark plugs, hence version 2.0 of my lure knocker 😉👍
  12. Owner shaky head (3/16 oz.) w/sapphire blue Trick Zoom. (Second color, though I'd probably not use it, would be watermelon red.)
  13. When my homemade plug knockers don't get the job done, I turn to my Frabill as well.
  14. I make these and they work great. Use a cable tie to attach the swivel to the sinker.
  15. Can be summed up with four words: Few and far between.
