Do Bass Fear Commitment?
When I feel the bass or see the line move, I rarely RARELY ever miss a fish. When I miss fish it's because I'm not feeling them or seeing the line move. Since my results are average I have to assume I fail to feel the bite A LOT.

Late Fall Bass Lures ?
Here in Indiana the Spook has been my best bait this November.

Has anyone noticed the fishing crowds?
This should no longer be a Covid thing, and I haven't seen it since that first summer with Covid. Back then we had the lockdowns and everybody was at home and out of work. By no later than fall things started to open back up and people started going back to work. I didn't notice it one bit this season. I was alone more often than not around here.

Non-Navigable Waterway Access
Right. The fact that there is a culture in the US that believes this is acceptable, that there are people who think this is acceptable, is sickening. That people can't think past "ur on my land, boy" (as if it's 1874 or something and they don't live in a civilized society) to realize that they're literally taking a life and ruining their own (prison) for something so petty is mentally ill.

Non-Navigable Waterway Access
So much talk about getting shot by some idiot for the crime of trying to float down a river and/or fish, as if this is normal. No, this is psychotic, and America is sick.

Co-Angler setup advice needed
I can't even make sense of your combos. Of all the ways you could type them out, why that way? It's a cluster.

4 up 0 down, and exactly this.

Megabass Vision 110 replacement hooks
The 1/2 oz bait would max out or in some cases overpower most ML rods

Megabass Vision 110 replacement hooks
I use a 683c Dobyns and that's just your standard M rod (despite the MH label). I use loose drag with the bait and I reel set. 2lb and under fish are still bending these hooks. They're sharp but weak.

Megabass Vision 110 replacement hooks
I keep bending them out on 1-2 lb bass. One of the trebles had a hook snap clean off the other day. Super sticky stock hooks but very disappointing strength or lack thereof. What are some good replacement hooks and in what size?

Dedicated jig rod
Exactly. I personally definitely don't have that superior morality for a company that makes infinitely more money than I do. Thanks for having an awesome warranty and I will surely use it.

Largemouth bass virus
Anybody know what this cluster is on this one's tail?

Do you go big or small in the fall?
In past years I've gone small. This year I've gone standard and plus size. I've seen more fish, not necessarily bigger fish, although I've caught several 3-4 pounders since September.

I was out for about 3 hours late this morning into early afternoon. I caught 20, and finally found some better fish. I fished from the dock and never moved off it. Not only is this the first time I've ever caught bass in November (Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb are months that I just don't fish here in the North), but I got on a TOP WATER BITE (it was 34*F when I started this morning). The day started with a few on a KVD Jerkbait in the 300 size, then several on a Megabass Vision 110, and then several on a Super Spook Jr. 5 fish were not photographed; 3 sub 10 inchers, and a 2 pounder and a 1.5 pounder, both of which were shy and wanted to flop free from me and back into the water. -------------------- The prize of the day with Black Plague on its tail (3 looks). -------------------- -------------------- Good SS Jr Bass (2 looks) -------------------- -------------------- Another good SS Jr Bass (2 looks) -------------------- What a great day!

Fall topic. Loss of ALL wild life on my property. Anyone else ?
Covid has been known to sicken animals and there have been many recent reports about deer being found to be infected with Covid. It doesn't appear to impact them the same way it does humans with the hundreds of thousands of US deaths and millions of world wide deaths though.

Some Halloween Bass. I caught 8, plus another good Crappie. 3 of the 8 Bass were little 8-10 inchers so I didn't bother to get my phone out for them. Still can't find the bigger Bass, but I'll take it. Vision 110 still doing all the work. Blanked on the Jig, Texas Rig, and Spinnerbait.

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE REEL OR ROD
Dobyns Champion XP 684c with a Shimano SLX XT 7.2:1 lefty is my favorite combo. I've had it like 2 months or so and it's just amazing.

Watch the action of your T-Rig in the clear shallows pegged vs unpegged and tell me why you would ever peg if you don't need to

Suggestions needed...bought Steez and they sent me the wrong rod...
Return it. It's not what you bought and you don't have much use for it. That was either a brain dead mistake or a stupid assumption on their part that you would want any Steeze they had in stock.
