All about acclimation By the way, I bring two gallons with me nowadays and I drank 1.5 in a day about two weeks ago

I like to use my eyeballs so I fish when BOB is still hanging around

Okay so it is important to feel what a swim jig is bumping against but not a crankbait, even though generally with crankbaits it is generally common thought that you need to be bumping cover to maximize your bites? Im not saying that I agree with you that glass rods are “not sensitive enough.” I just really don’t understand your argument against glass rods for swim jigs. I don’t use a glass rod for swim jigs either. But your reasoning is really strange

I’m curious. For what techniques do you see glass rods as desirable?

Okay it's been a while since I've used fluoro so I had to refresh myself on invisx. It does cast very well. The sensitivity is incredible. Gets a bit unruly over the course of the day which is probably why people bring KVD L&L with them. I kinda remembered why I use cheap mono when I made a bold cast into some trees and got tangled up and then had to cut large sections of my line off because of fraying and was left with a lot less line on the spool. It is good line, just like I remember it from a few years ago. I tied careful palomars on it. I did get to straighten it out on a few fish. Will I continue using it for t-rigs and jigs? I dunno. My wallet says no. Bait monkey says yes

Oh boy. Glenn is opening a can of worms on this one Next he'll probably make a video on Big Game..... Thanks @Glenn. In all seriousness I think learning your perspective on rods will be educational

When I bought my Hobie Outback, the dealer offered to install the trolley for free, and purchasing the trolley came at a discount. So to me, this was a no-brainer, and I let them do it. It's the yak attack, I think it's called leverlok??? Idk. Works good. I add a carabiner to the triangle for fast connect and disconnect

Only problem with owning a head turner is I want another one.... all the dang time

Okay I like two for swim jigs. But to keep my explanation simple, I like a standard jig rod when I am in thick cover. If I am in open water or sparser cover, I like the rod to be longer with a moderate fast taper. For me, this translated to iROD Genesis III 704C for thicker cover, and iROD Genesis III Stone Cold Swim and Vibrating Jig Rod for open water or sparser cover If I could only have one? I would just do everything on one jig rod to keep it simple

Few dinks today. I didn’t photo one. Still trying to figure this lake out

I'm going too. If you leave now for TX, you might be able to catch a couple hours with me ?

Awwwww yeeeeeaaahh Very nice man

This site has definitely changed the way I fish, especially with regards to structure fishing

Oftentimes the way the wind is blowing and how hard, and the sun angle determines this for me

So what rod do y’all use for spoons? Does it differ for flutter and jigging spoons? Kinda thinking about a heavy spinning rod

If I’m not mistaken, that Lake Eufaula is the lake that I drove over on my way to TX. Absolutely gorgeous lake

I will have to get one sometime. But coming from mostly iRods, I believe it’s probably going to be tough to impress me

@Pat Brown has been compromised by the bait monkey, we can no longer trust him ?

Q: How would I approach it? A: In my kayak Uh I would graph it On a map this stuff jumps out at me

Confused by the title???? Chatterbaits don’t catch bass only logs?????

All the mag 2s Cranberry looks AWESOME. Love that red hue with the red and purple fleck

@thediscochef Oh my, what a wonderful fish CONGRATS!!! Texas has been fishing very well for the last couple of weeks

I discovered in MO that the speed craw is a fantastic bait for ponds. I will definitely take that knowledge with me And it works in lakes and rivers too!

You ever just yell nonsense in the car cuz it’s fun? Because I do that a lot too. Especially when I’m going fishing. I couldn’t describe to you things I say even if I tried
