I’ve seen it both ways. Where shorter casts/pitches and really quiet presentations were the answer and when longer casts and as quiet as you could get it were the answer. Accurate casting is huge. And if anyone doesn’t stop the spool with their thumb on the end of their cast, highly encourage you try it. It really makes the presentation quieter and more natural.

A good slow (5:something) that is left handed. There are not really that many of these reels that I’ve found but I’ll take any one of them ?

I’ve spent a few minutes this morning looking through the history of RNF. A living legend. I look forward to the second chapter of his stories on here ?. nice to meet you sir

Roland Martin, is that you?

Saw your edit for the question just now. I am intrigued by spoons and I really love Nichols. It isnt on my immediate bait monkey shopping list, though. But nice to hear good things about it.

Lake Fork flutter... thats a nichols lure right? You like it so far? What color you get?

Can't believe I forgot about that. Yes, it works awesome, try it ya'll. The swimming action created by that tail makes it look very real. Thank you for reminding me of this.

Can confirm the first big fish I ever lost I swore was 8lbs and a “whale”

The anti-sale. nice nice

Absolute units. Hefty. Bazingas. Gillzillas

Spinnerbait. But they have been less effective for me this time of year and I won’t force it. @Catt and @Mike L mentioned swimming a worm. That treated me well recently.

Why is maximum light penetration beneficial?

This is why I’ve been trying to spend longer periods of time on the water. Getting myself on the water is second nature. Keeping myself there after 6-7 hours is a work in progress.

This is great

I finally pulled the trigger on scum frogs. Green and black - trophy series. Pitch - launch. Chartreuse and white - popping. We will see about a dedicated frog setup. Also got a couple packs of mag uv speed worms.

Chiggers can rot in hell. that is all

I heard Matt Robertson fishes with a black max reel on his ugly sticks. Just kidding, never heard a bad thing about the reels so assume they work good

Watching Hank fish a jerkbait is mesmerizing. His cadence is so smooth. Congrats to him

Ding ding ding

I have heard the Zman shrimp is dynamite

Hey ya'll, Had an unexpected detachment of a rod guide recently. It broke off. Can get pictures soon if needed. The rod is a Fenwick Elite Tech Casting. The missing guide is not the tip, it is somewhere in the middle. An old timer told me that I can replace the guide, he said that the guide is a Fuji guide and that I can use silicon glue after inserting it back in to seal the guide. What I'm wondering is if I can find the specific guide I need or if I need to purchase an entire kit of guides. This would really help me out ya'll. Any other recommendations extremely welcome.

Really they have white buck tail? Not the craft stuff either?

Zoom z hog has worked in chocolate milk water for me. It doesn’t make sense to me. That thing just glides. Natural color too. No, scent isn’t a big deal to me anyway.

I don’t know about softer but black is my best color by far

Straight fluorocarbon scares me. I’m terrified of it. If it was between fluoro on a baitcaster and spinning reel with anything, I’m taking the spinning reel.
