All i need to say is Motor Oil color .... happy fishing

Curious if you got mine? I didn't put my screenname as it is my email name ... slarose20@yahoo.com. Anyway look forward to seeing this when it is finished . Thanks SteveL

Looks similiar to the TUBE... but either way bud .. you can not go wrong for 50 cents ... try T-Rigging them. SteveL

Both the NY guys hammered it ... like the last said get some jigs. I would add swim jigs to that list but im a bit north of you all. Im an Northern Upstate guy ... but have fished all the waters down through you all. Anyway good luck with your shopping trip and have fun in good ol' Auburn SteveL

I would love to see all these lures when there done. you need to take some pics and let us know how they went. I would def. go with number 3 though. Im a big rattle guy ..... love the gold in er too SteveL

I just bought a Bill Dance' Dancin Eel about 2 weeks ago... Chain pickeral LOVE IT... think we caught close to 15 or so ... well lets just say i had to throw the little guy away . We bought another and caught only one bass on it ... does work but its a magnet for those (Chain Pickeral, Northern Pikes, Jack's) whatever you wanna call them SteveL

I might be the only one who hates and despises the chatter bait... if you ever get sick of it you can do what i did. I cut the front chatter metal piece off and used it like a jig. Let me tell you what. It works awsome as a jig ... Call me old fashion but im just not a fan of the chatterbait :/ ... Anyway i have to agree that rod is pure clutch. I hope someday when i have children they will love to fish as much as i do ... SteveL

Im using a pair i bought from wal-mart. They cost me like 14 dollars. They have a 1.1 mm polorized lens with UV protection and they fit nice. They are also moss flaked so they fit my personality with the outdoors ... i believe they are made by strike king. SteveL

Ive used them on a yellow jig head with a mr. twister grub on it.. I put the craw on as a trailer and have had a lot of success with them. They can be jigged, used of the bottom, or just swimming them moderately fast. good stuff imho SteveL

Thanks so much for all your help Fourbizzle.

Hey thanks for that .. i saw that i was looking more to see how you would rig something like this http://www.***.com/descpageSWMBSSTRXTUBBSSTRX-BTPTT.html Steve L

God Bless ya Aint Texas ... Thanks for the answers guys. Im guessing a jig head is the best way to rig the smaller guys like the http://www.***.com/descpageSWMBSSTRXTUBBSSTRX-BTPTT.html if there is a better way plz let me know ... thanks again to you all

Im not familiar with the bass harrasser. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks :/ ... heh im gonna feel dumb after this arnt i ?

Im curious on how everyone rigs there swim baits. If you buy the plastics (not already rigged) ... ive seen them on the bassmasters show rig them up but it was done so fast i really couldnt tell how they did it. If someone could give me a good example on how to do this i would be very greatful .. SteveL

Ya i just saw that bassmasters myself. I have heard of some people using them here in NC ... im just curious if it is worth my time to try it out. I guess i can't go wrong if i give it a shot .. thanks for the tips on how to use them... How do i rig them up ... i dont wanna have a hook come off like good ol steve kennedy did... :-(

Im curious how many people fish the swim bait. How you choose which type and size. I fish mostley in NC atm but would love any tips on the swim bait. How do you rig the swim bait to be the most useful to you. Thanks in advance. SteveL

Welcome to ya. I can't wait to see your pics. Im also pretty knew to the site and as you can see everyone is very friendly SteveL

I don't know kentucky that well but most rivers are similiar. Read the current and like a previous poster said focus on those eddies. I personally would throw a lipless crank (crawfish RED) in this case. Rattle Traps are my favorite so im a little biast . Good luck to ya SteveL

Ya like they said above. Culling is a key tool used in fishing tourney's. It can actually be a skill in its own, for instance ive had to cull out two 3 lb fish and it was very difficult to do so. I use a Rapala Scale and ive also used the balance beam method. -Steve
