Are there any bass clubs in Southeast, Mo?

Anyone ever fish Apple Creek in Southeast Mo(arm off the Mississippi)? I'v fished there a while back but I don't remember the depth. Also hows the fishing if anyone's ever been( think I got skunked the 1 time I went.) Thanks!

I know, I was just saying which one was the better option for the bait, because I spooled the MH with mono for crankbaits. Just wanting to know if it will still go as deep?

I have a 6’6 Medium-Fast casting rod I use for jerkbaits. I recently picked up a 3/5oz 11ft 4.5 inch KVD Jerkbait (not sure if that’s the exact length) The issue is that the bait feels heavy for the rod, will it be able to handle it or should I upgrade to a MHF 7ft? The only problem with this rod is I just spooled it up with 12lb mono for crankbaits. Thanks- Cole

I’m looking for a good reel around $175 or less. I need it to handle small-medium hard swim baits, flipping jigs, and maybe A-rigs. I’ve been looking some and have no idea where to start. Thanks- Cole. P.s holds 50# power pro, or 20-25 fluro.

If only we would have know lol. Why did they change it?

6# braid? so you think 8 will be good?

I got a 7’6 Heavy and am using 50# power pro for flipping and frogs

So I have 8# power pro braided line for finesse fishing(1/16 oz Ned rigs and 1/8 I believe). With a 6 pound fluro leader. Will this hold up. Or should I size up to 10# Power Pro. P.s. I saw a post on what line you should use with Ned Rigs, and everyone was using 10#. Just seeing if 8# will work. Thanks -Cole.

Maybe since it’s a multi-species, made for lighter power rods. I use mainly medium-heavy to heavy for jigs

I’m pretty sure 2020, maybe a different model?

Yes, when my new flipping rod comes in I’m using 50 pound braid

We got a Tracker Pro Team 175 18ft and have been having trouble with getting our rods in the rod lock in front of the drivers seat ,picture of it Here. My dad uses 5’6 zebco combos and and it’s still a pain, and for sure no way anything above 6’6 could possibly fit in there . Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks -Cole

I’ve been asking a lot about flipping rods, so I’m getting a 7’6 heavy:fast action with 50 pound braid . Is this over kill for 1/2 oz jigs with a trailer? I already have a ton of these. If this isn’t good enough can I go up to 3/4oz or 1 oz? Thanks-Cole

Wondering how this rod will do for a flippin. Choosing the 7'6 heavy. I have 15 pound fluro, probably going to 20 for this, or braid

No its fine, have the reciept and everything, took the rod into a bait and tackle shop to repair the eye of the rod I had on this reel beforehand, and he put on one double the size of the biggest one. So I bought this out of a rush, didn't really think about power until afterwards Is this a good rod for flippin 7'6 heavy -fast. Thanks everyone!- Cole

10-20 pound fluro/mono 1/4- 3/4 heres the link https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/falcon-hd-76-freshwater-saltwater-casting-rod#repChildCatSku=017864349

I just got a 7’6 medium and fast rod. Will this be good for flipping 1/2 oz jigs into weeds and timber? Thanks!

Sadly I'm in Southeast,Mo so its super muddy.

I was wondering if the Mississippi River, the part by Missouri has much bass fishing to offer? Since it’s so close to my house and big. Thanks!

I need to replace a rod tip for a Diawa Procast 80 rod 7ft medium heavy. Anyone know good rod tips for this model. I tried ordering some on Amazon and they all didn't fit. Also can you even replace rod tips for this specific model. Thanks- Cole

I'm getting a new finesse rod and was going to use #8 pound braid with a #6 pound mono leader on the spinning reel. Do I need a backing line so the braid doesn't slip? Would 12lb be good or would in need to use the #6 pound mono. Thanks! -Cole

Yes in Jackson, I like Kentucky lake a lot better too, it really is just the drive for me. Thanks for the comment and will try to fish Kentucky lake more when Spring Comes. ~Cole

Anyone know good baits for big bass in MO, been fishing for a while and biggest one was just shy of 4lbs. Any tips will help. Thanks!
