Went out yesterday and threw the 250 for the first time ever, not a giant but wasn’t expecting a bite on my first trip out. Super stoked!

It’s obvious that it helps to imagine the bait in the water when working it but i find it so cool that just that little bit of extra attention outweighs just mindless casting. Pretty much every cast i picture my bait in the water almost like looking at it through live scope seeing it in real time. Not sure if anyone thinks the same or I’m just crazy lol. Fishing is tough right now and I’m stuck thinking ?

Cast and crank podcast is west coast based super funny and always learn a thing or two, lots of sticks

I’ve noticed that more than a couple of my “suspending” jerkbaits rise a little too quick for my liking I’m using super glue as of now to glue the smallest strips of lead to the bottom Giving me that true suspend that I want, I’m just curious as to what other ways there might be to Getting my baits to suspend the way I want them to that don’t involve a mess of glue (I’m trying to keep the stock hooks on)

New to this whole forum thing my fault lol whenevr I try and upload a picture it says the file is too big

What’s that set up that you just can’t help but show off, or maybe what’s caught you the most fish

I’ll look into it, I’ve only thrown the 80 size so far but they also carry the 110’s, going this weekend hopefully they have some in stock Not too sure it’s 8.5 grams idk what the conversion is

Biggest fish from this last week, been wrecking ‘‘em on the jerkbait

Give me onneee second This is the color that’s been working best for me right now, they also have more natural shad colors and a beautiful bluegill I’ll be sure to upload them when I get home

I’ve found, in my opinion a small gem. I found these jerkbaits in my local tackle shop in SOCAL and idk what it is about them but they flat out catch fish. I think you can only buy them online from either their Japanese site or a import site, they’re around $20 but worth every penny, not sure if any of y’all have heard or used them before and if so what worked for you Here’s the packaging

Of course when it comes to fishing you will never truly figure it all out but when did it all “click” for you. When did you realize that maybe you did know what you’re doing and started consistently catching fish. For me it all started this year I’ve been bass fishing for maybe 4~5 years out of the 19 I’ve been alive so I don’t have much under my belt. But something about this year has allowed me to look back and realize how far I’ve come.I went from skunking almost every trip to now not only being confident in knowing I will catch fish almost every time I go out. Also being able to put others on fish and their first fish at that. Looking back at this year alone I’ve had my eureka moment and feel like I’ve progressed more in these past 9 months than I have over the last few years

This year I decided to finally throw hardbaits, found this neat jerk bait at my local tackle shop and my confidence has definitely been boosted. I’ve been fishing it for about 2 months I can only post one pic but it’s just seems to attract nicer bites most fish have been around this same size and thicc

Dry Spell is over for me biggest bass of 2021 and a new PB 6 lbs 9 ounces can finally update my PB lol

i agree 100% but i dont fish strictly freshwater and want to expand what i fish and where i fish, ive been doing more saltwater than fresh recently and really just want to expand my knowledge on different types of fishing ? figured might as well stop thinking about it and just do it

Im sure ill enjoy it lol ive been wanting to get into a for a while and maaaaaaaaan i wish i had 5-10 bass/day these L.A ponds are so tough its painful lol so i'd rather chase the bigger fish in these city ponds. Maybe i just suck lol but good days for me are catching 2-3 half pounders Ive caught some nice fish in these ponds so im willing to give up those 2-3 half pound to a pound fish for that 3-4lber in there

i re-read and you're right lol it seems like im comparing the 2 and you got that right lol its a bitter sweet moment exchanging money for fishing gear ?

tranx 200 cost $200 and the 300 cost like 301 after tax and to a 18 year old like me thats big difference lol

if I'm going Tranx ill probably go with the 200 size i never plan on throwing anything over 4 -5 ounces But im just getting started dont wanna spend almost 500 dollars on something i may or may not enjoy lol so lexa is looking more and more appealing

Is the tatula 300 saltwater ready? I was also looking into that one wanted to use this set up for both salt and fresh water I was looking into the kaimana series of irod but I figured save the 50 bucks and go with the genesis 3 and get either the tranx, tatula, or lexa

Biting the bullet this Friday picking up a irod, but I'm stuck on reels the Cardiff is good I'm sure but I was looking at either a tranx or lexa

@Boomstick already sent me the link i guess im already in see yall sunday

thanks ill definitely check check all this out and see when i can hit up the lagoon

definitely cheaper than what i was looking at. heard good things about the lexa 300 as far as reels go thats what im hoping for... looking to break that 3.8 lb pb

Currently no but im looking for the most cost effective rod and reel hopefully picking one up before the middle of next month before spawn really sets in

Im sure losing anything that cost over 40 dollars hurts anybody just a little lol. I just want to try out a new way to hopefully catch some giants.
