Dont see him using pink today, nor bladed jig today. Maybe im wrong. But no offense Might missed my point Yesterday was choppy to say least And my bigger point, bass dont see what we see. Yesterday the drawing power could been the vibration then when fish finds it the pink to bass is a gray ( more camouflage) Today is slick calm and sunny, drawing power is bright color, subtle bait. But as always my opinion.

Thanks Guys Now to further my curiosity ( i should do a post on this) years ago i would never throw what i call wild colors. So that pink skirt with pink swimbait intrigued me. Bass, if do your research have triomatic(spelling watching classic trying to post fast) they cant see blue, they lack the 3 cones in eyes where humans have 3 cones. Many of you know there was 2 major studies on bass sight with color. Me, being kind of old school geeky old school programmer as hobby. I ran alot my crankbaits through the Dalton Lense. My friends you be surprised how your baits look to a bass. To me this finally answers the question. There is two types of pro fisherman on color. 1. All you need is green pumpkin Black Blue. And White crowd 2. Then, other crowd says, absolutely color matters When play with Dalton Lense it’s amazing How both crowds can be right. In other words just because bass cant see blue, they still see the bait. Another scenario that bugged me for years was the red hook guys. Red is first color to disappear underwater. But since bass tend to see red the best, how can this be? I had that thought in mind when seen Lee throw pink. Then reminded myself if memory serves me that pink turns to baitfish gray.

Yep lol

I have in the past. Had good luck. Some these guys make nice stuff almost over the top in quality colors. Tech tip it can be addicting In other words. Find buddy or two to split costs on bulk and that way you get lots of samples.

Cant find that Bladed Jig Bait Lee was using first day of the classic 2025 Pink bladed jig. But 6th sense brand wonder what trailer was too

Wish I had the discontinued Berkley Power Bait version called Power Slug it was heavy and it had hook slot.

Crankbait fishing. I Follow Fritts to a T cant remember being skunked in a boat cranking anytime of year. despite young guys wind with high speed reels and catch em too they not following Fritts rules but i still do, andbit works for me.

St. Lawerence River for me Largemouth and Smallmouth

Sounds to me you are doing good. For me shorter trips are testing stuff only. Thanks for reminding me grrr Feb last year tested jerkbaits, gonna tune em with suspended dots. On my little lake at house. Caught a six a five a four two 3.5 and 2.5 Mad i not take boat out, and never got to tune my jerkbaits darkness set in Epic day and always think what would have been if not wait to last minute. But as they say dont look gift horse in mouth…. So there is that. But your doing fine keep it up

Im a wind guy too i will add winds from north fisherman dont setforth winds from south blows bait in thier mouth

Neko Rig Free Rig Dropshot Ned or lite ball head with twister tail grub small tubes and lastly My Mike Ike panic box has charlie brewer small slider grub with slider head Catch ton bass on slider grub has tiny paddle tail. oh i also use Shad flies on drop shot cost me small fortune because of how many I have. Soaked in Baitfuel Best kept secrete…. Well no more lol

Do the math figures correct although prices can change. The guy fishes alot. His argument comes from pros change line after each day of tournament. No one says you must. To me i saved this because brings reality to our hobby cost if you get too obsessed. Not intended to start floro wars or anything of sort. edited to fix typo It dont last in Arizona I can tell you that. Maybe i need to try line conditioning

So sorry for your loss.

Is that Levante the flatside special?

Ive heard they good. Some dude TackleJunky on youtube swears by em But my Powells are 3.3 oz

Still have 1 1/2 left if orig size i like it but. If i may ….. ingenious idea if your snake oil salesmen or as said in Josey Whales. Carpet Bagger. sell some slime to fisherman that humans cant smell and promise the fish can. Could be water lmao

I have Two Diawa Sol reels in that color. I truly think the Sol was ahead its time so many features or design used today especially in compact design. i keep one my sols tucked away but use the heck out if the other main reason posting is the color grows on you. Mine on a cashion lite crankbait rod in black and it looks sic

This is the perfect thread to post this old guys thoughts……..Got this a long time ago from a guy Line Cost I don't like the handling, breakage vulnerability, and high cost of fluorocarbon. Pros recommend respooling for each trip. Here's my quick cost workup to do such: 15 outfits for moving baits; 50 yds per outfit; 3 trips per week; 40 weeks per year = 90,000 yards needed Sunline FC Sniper 15 lb price for 1000yd spool is $149 at TW; 90,000 yards costs $13,410 per year Seagur InvisX 14 lb price for 1200 yd spool is $122 at TW; 90,000 yards costs $9,150 per year Sufix Adv 14 lb VIP price for 1200 yd spool is $70; 90,000 yards costs $5,250 per year I am retired, can't deduct this cost as a business expense, and am not sponsored by a line company. Also consider the environmental impact of disposing of 90,000 yards of line. Given the extremely high cost, time spent changing line, and the huge negative environmental impact of line disposal, (not to mention the hassle of using the stuff), why would any amateur fisherman want to use fluorocarbon? i was floored what he would have spent in line if floro

Since want hybrid type rod Powell 725 graphite CBR if not top water then Powell 724 or 725 in composite cbr doing my best to think of my rods that could do more than one technique its hard because i use specific rods for specific techniques. Megabass Levante flatside comes to mind.

You and me both. bet i have 1000 crankbaits off top my head probably 15 cranking sticks at least. And my buddy invited me over for breakfast and dared me to show him last sunday that i had 300 unpainted baits in my truck. I have the baits and stencils but no other equipment to paint yet.

I like this explanation or count ring gear teeth count pinion gear teeth and divide them with calculator

I know i have used basspro xps floro 1200 yrd $100. For me it lasts longer than some of name brand jippo grade stuff , for me

As rule 10Lb diameter minimum on bait caster. Sometimes that is between 20-40 lb test. But make sure at least 0.11 diameter Berkley X5

Powell makes both composite or. Graphite cranking rods i have bunch powell rods recently wanted graphite cranking rods bought two of powell endurance 725 works for chatter baits and spinnerbaits and other stuff too onsale now cheap amazing rods stupid lite too 3oz with warranty
