I always respect other people choices, But ill. never go back to Abus, I only have one Toro Monster reel for my big swimbaits and I always want to get rid of it. if you fish with them in windy condition, sand will get to them for sure and you need to clean and send them to service frequently. I only oil my shamans and lube them, Never sent to service yet.

welcome to Bassresource

There is no secret that soft jerk bait and hard jerk bait is on from now up to end of winter. Specially the hard jerk baits, only thing going to change is sound and color and sometimes size. so start with noisy and flashy colors in fall ad end up with silent and pale or transparent colors through the winter. thats what I learned and so far it works for me since hard jerk baits are my confidence lure all year round. But as most of you might know I am casting out jigs and frogs a lot to gain confidence with the.

welcome back and glad you here.

yeah, since I drive a lot and far places for work or fishing, and since I go fishing anytime anyone suggest that, I have this things in my car and I am ready to go for any fish for few days and night. for example I was talking to a customer in Mojave last month and he said he is going to fishing after our meeting and he has his RV boat and everything for 5 days fishing and camping and he invited me, so I drove 350 miles after hi and fish with him and his sons LOL. I had everything in my car. so thats my lifestyle. thats why I have those things. Believe me I have way more than that in my home for every kind of fishing, so my car is really my car kit only.

Sorry first I needed to upload pictures, Thats my worm project and I have them about 3 years now and I only harvesting and never buy any worms. the two white one is my adults that producing eggs and I move the eggs time to time to nursery (blue big bucket). as you can se also some will always remain and they grow with their parents(like the one I show with my finger). so let me intrudoce you to European night crawlers, This tough scoundrels staying alive and they are fighters. First no need to keep them 45 to 65 , they can live in heat up to 90. So as long as you have them indoor in summer, they will be very fine. About fishing with them, They really work at least twice better than Canadian night crawlers. About the fishing bass with them, If I have kids or someone want to catch bass by any means necessary , Ill have light spinning rod with 6 to 8lb test line and number 2 or 4 worm hook and mojo rig this and cast it from dam side of reservoir so they can catch fish(sallies most of the time). If you are interested in this worms as me question and ill show you how to do it, They are smaller than Canadian, but they get fat same as them, and perfect size for fishing.

Conventional Cardif if you want to save money and calcatta Conquest. Also to just let you know you can go low profile with Shimano TranX300(thats the one I use for baits you mentioned), I never have any problem with 300 size.

free version: I use normal medicine bottle, I use that for so long and no leak, just use the container with big cap or use hair remover like me to take them out.

I wonder what kind of app you are using to get info on your river and stream fishing. Coz I have new interest to go after river small mouth while looking for trout.

I have some and partially CU is on it, I cant find the manufacturer.

hell NO?

Things in may car: 7 surf and saltwater and bass and trout combo(ready to use0 4 Spinning set up for trout and bass in bag 3 BFS set up in bag more than 500pcs of lures for ocean and freshwater for every fish from shark to panfish. chumming material and tools with buckets to keep fish/baitfish live. portable restroom and shower. 8 person tent 4 foldable chairs 8' umbrella every kind of rod stands and spike beach cart(its on back seat area) crab net and all kind of net for landing saltwater to trout. cooler dozen oversized swimbait and wake baits couple of to go tackle boxes couple of to go back packs kitchen and cooking and list go on and thats only things I have in my car 24/7 in case if I end up fishing by surprise. the other salt water and bass and trout fishing set ups(special ones) they are in my home and ill only take them when I plan to go fishing. here is some picture of back of my car I forgot to talk about extra clothes and waders and boots that I keep there in case.

Texas Rig I dont use bead, But if you meant weighted Texas rig, YES I always use glass beads, Even they are pricy but ill buy smaller size that do the job as well.

Wow you have brand new, I have some 300 and 500 in my collection I got from Tom. Got a number 4 and I have couple very small for trout, I need to give it a try.

There was says that I didn't catch anything on any other color, Once I changed the worm to smoke color with same technique I got bites, So it is effective really specially when you have baitfish(shad) near shallow. Ive had wacky the smoke color and have good luck. and yes water was clear in all the time that I had good luck with smoke color.

surprisingly it is the same in SoCal, But ill never give up and ill always try it for an hour early morning and an hour before night.

agree with you, But also see the wire gage of it, If lower gage and thin hooks, you can still use 12lb test and also you can open the hook keeper brush by hand or even cut some off. for me I only use 1/4 with 12lb test.

I use 12lb test tatsu for smaller jigs 1/4. Also if there is so many grass I use another set up have 40lb test maxquatro with 16lb test FC100 leader.

I am in LA and I was looking for one around me, nothing there, Also you must have boat, Do you have boat?

unfortunately I have no Daiwa, But I have all Shimano DCs. I am trying to do it with shorter rod (6'10") as well to make it easier.

Anytime I get short strike I go crazy hahaha... always try wacky rig or Texas rig immediately.

I never store my reel for long time, But always put the in cover in my Shimano reel bag and just bring them out night before fishing or if I drive long, ill bring them out at the lake and install them on rod, It is not keeping them safe also good for rods, It will have no pressure on rods. and this is my reel that I am using mostly. the rest are in another bag with my travel rods

Honestly any top water.

Let me clearify something for you, Braid is more sensitive when you have tight line, So fluorocarbon in general is more sensitive than braid, Despite that I am using braid to fluorocarbon for my jig rod. If you spool your braid tight, It won't dig in itself and you connection knot wouldn't be a problem unless you need to do it few times, Otherwise you can have it ready with good 7 feet fluorocarbon leader and you can change lure few times during the day. It is just my idea and I respect everyones decision just sharing the way I do it.

Guys I must do it, I really need to learn it with bait caster, I always getting backlash or cant do it, Any tip and advice will be appreciated. ATA
