  1. it comes with lifestyle, I myself have nothing to do at all. either I work for money or I have nothing to do. So what is better than fishing. As I mentioned I am ready in my truck because no matter where I am ill be ready to accept anyones invitation to go for catching any fish

    Drop shot is producing very well in this situation.
  3. it been couple years that any jig I am buying has inner loop for tightening the line, so the loop is not outside of jig.
  4. I have so many glide baits, But one always on one rod rigged and ready to go and that is S-waver 168. What makes 168 special is that you can fish it so many ways. Even if you just reel it slowly it will swim very nice and attract fishes and you can stop reeling or speed up or twice to trigger the followers. Anyways feel free to retrieve as you wish and you'll have the results.
  5. dont forget chartreuse nail polish for your weight.
  6. I catch my PB small Mouth when I was casting t-rig junebug Senko with brass and glass for largemouth in the same condition, Just want rainy but overcast and cold.
  7. It is heart broken, I always pray for him.
  8. Craigslist and offer always have listed local boat owners listing their boat for selling.
  9. It might sound odd, But I choose tackle that I enjoy using and catch fish on them. for example I know if I use spinning gear with mojo rig, I can catch sallies in certain lake all day long, Instead I use my casting gear and cast tx rig and bed rig all day and catch one or two smallie. So thats the gear I enjoy using not how many fish. I dont know about you but the days I catch 7 to 20 fishes it will wear me off and ill get really tired.
  10. There is no such wasted, I have a lot but I am using them when time comes, for example I have 12" plus worms stacked here , I have them because by summer you can find them and order them overnight. So some day you going to use them when you need them. so I call it there is no wasted tackle.
  11. 1-small size paddle tail 2" on light jighead(1/8oz) 2-Small size paddle tail 3" or 3.5" with light weighted hook if needed. 3- underspin paddle taile
  12. I always use bobber stop, but how near to the weight is depends on cover. if no cover I do longer if heavy cover I peg. Just remember if you have grass you can make it 6", so after you pass the cover and weight pull the bait pass the cover, it can go slow in last 6 or 8" and that m9ght her trigger more fish.
  13. oh no, I never give up catch or no catch, Prep and rigging and travel and using my tackle is half of the fun that I would have anyway, so if I dont catch bass I dont mind.
  14. it should be dark moss green.
  15. I got the free version of it, Have another version which is paid application, which one you have?
  16. I cant say I am agree with you, I have my 15lb test to 6lb and sometimes 4lb test fluorocarbon for my spinning setup and the reason I am doing FG knot on it because it is going through the guides as smooth as can be. I never had problem with it and I do 24 wraps and my closing is with rizzuto knot always.
  17. I think you have the issue solved already, But if not just start to cast and cast and the DC system will start to work correctly. just play with your break till you get the sweet spot. I never had any backlash with it and I have it spooled with 65lb maxcuatro. I am using that combo for frogging and I really enjoy the distance I am getting with this reel.
  18. Thats just a sample of one of the techniques , Ive seen Japanese doing it with real 1/16oz. and other ways as well. the other one called spiral casting.
  19. Not near surface, Thats not scary, First when I start bass fishing I had heavy TX rig staged and I really pull and it backed at me like a bullet and I ducked, It was 1oz tungsten, I was lucky I wasn't hit.
  20. You can use left handed reel like so many do and problem solved.
  21. Guys I do only side cast with my BFS combos and I am pretty good at it, But sometimes you need to backhand/underhand cast, Really want to do backhand/underhand casting and another fancy casting that this Japanese anglers doing. I have really problem with backlashing in that case. I haven't seen any English clip that explain about those techniques. I am sure there is a fine tune of spool tension and break setting to cast those ways with no backlash and I am sure it os day and night different with normal reels(Because I tried that). I am talking about usually 1/16oz lures and rarely 1/8oz lures. Please help me by sharing your secrets. I am going to start practice day and night in home and at lakes.
