If you use Tatsu/InviZX or Mono XL You can go easily up to 0.38mm(17lb test) with no problem at all.

For large mouth I use 6" fat roboworm and I nose hook with Daiichii #2 or #4 mosquito hook(sometimes use 4" inn morning dawn and shad color). For small mouth I have some special plastic little hard to get, Bass Magic finesse worm.

It depends on your other set ups and also what you going to use it for, I have MH spooled with straight 12lb tatsu, I use for crankbait and jerkbait and I have another MH I have 40lb test Maxquatro and leader 16lb test that I use for Trig and etc...

Not that fat you think of, Just little meaty compare to regular ones. They are my favorite on 6" for dropshotting. nose hook with #2 or #4 Mosquito hook and you are good to go.

Z-Man Slim SwimZ 3 inch Z-Man Baby GOAT 3 inch Thats the best two Ive seen for it that was recommended.

The Box is here, I am using one of them for jigs and chatter baits for now, It has a lot of space, Need to buy more chatterbait, So I use one separate box for them, Thanks for recommendation guys. I wish they had something for spinnerbait as well. I like the thickness, If I change all my box to Plano, I can add additional box to my bag pack and carry six 3700 size.

Rustin, Thank you so much, Believe it or not three of items were in my wishlist, I cant believe it myself, You choose very good and I was so happy to see it, Thank you so much and happy Holidays. (Rustin couldn't locate your account to TAG you, Please show yourself)

For any new user I suggest DC breaking system to avoid backlash as much as possible and give a pleasant experience on water. I am strongly suggesting Curado DC, It is in your price range and also have bullet proof body. I am sure he will love it.

Congratulation,I in other hand, had bad luck, I went fishing for 36 hours and I fished 21 hours of it and I didn't catch a single fish. First 10.5hr I was under heavy rain and wind(better to say typhoon), And after that still nothing, Cold dark water and no bite, To be honest I had two bites and not hooked . But hey I am going out Monday again to try.

Merry Christmas guys, I am So glad that I found Bassresource, To have this group of super cool friends. I am going fishing and just want to wish you happy holidays. I am going to be at lake side till Monday

YES they are

I do 65 in 65 when I drive my truck in highways, sometimes slower than that :), I wouldn't go that fast with boat if I had one,, I am thinking of 30MPH what ill go max.

zI use couple colors in 12" on summer, Just they break so easy and you'll need to change every fish or maybe every other fish you catch with them.

I vote for Cardiff as well if you look for cheaper option, But nothing can beat the Calcutta in quality if you willing to spend some more money.

by year 2015 I was going to a city pond with same situation, Visibility ZILCH, Every said bladed/vibrating chartreuse and black color, I would say that they worked but I catch the most bass on two lures: Dark Blue DD 22 Norman crank bait and Megabass 110+ bluegill color.

got what you said and I feel I to it, Let's see where it lead me. Thank you for the advice.

WOW

@A-Jay I t is about a month I back to treadmill after my injury, My main reason it loosing weight and I cant do anything but using treadmill, I have tennis elbow and sharp torn on my both wrists and elbow and neck and shoulder and etc... Anyways just want to make you sure thats only thing I can do and fishing. But after one month I only lost 8lb. Any suggestion? I have picture of results of my workouts result as well. Right now I am spending 600 CAL per day and about a mile on 1.5MPH speed.

I have group of friends that they are 70 years old plus and they just do bait and wait fishing. They fish for carp, catfish and trout in the seasons. I do fish with this guys once or twice a week, unless it is cold and rainy which they dont like to go out. Anyways to make story short I always will have a rod for bait and wait with them and other one I do bass fish, One day I was with them at a lake that they said they stocked trout and as always I put one rod with night crawlers and I fish for bass, God knows I fished for solid five hours and try everything I know of and I didn't catch anything, My friends catch one or two trout during that time. I wanted to set and eat and get back to fishing and by that time my stand rod got bite and I set the hook and try to get the fish and I was feeling it is a catfish, To my surprise it was my PB small mouth ?. On Carolina rig with night crawler, Unbelievable! I was fishing all day and nothing and this rod catches my PB smallie(I don't know if it counts as PB or not). Just wanted to share it with you guys, If you have surprising catch please Share your story as well.

Rod building and lure making is last two rabbit holes that I didn't get into YET Ive done the rest (In good way LOL). Oh and getting my own boat also, I didn't get it yet.

WOW WOW So many you fit there. So I can say I have few haha...

you imagine every week from Thursday to Sunday evening, I am leaving in that truck beside the lake fishing. so I need to carry everything there. I am doing it in trout lakes and I fish for bass same time.

Yeah man, I always upgrading, Now I am adding dome light for tailgate and also I just got a folding table and add to my truck as well

I have two tackle bag, one in car for back up, my on my back when I go fishing, The one in car about 35lb the one at my back about 15lb plus. I have 4 tackle box 3600 size that they stay in car as well. yes I know it is a lot but it is what I need to carry on foot in order to be ready for any situation.
