I hope this turns out ok...

Yes...I "was" fishing Pflueger Trions and had upgrade to Pflueger President because Trion removed the AR switch. I really like the Presidents....I was looking for something "cheaperish" because I have like 11 spinning rods and like that there all the same.

I hate to break it to ya like this...A smallmouth can spawn several times till early summer. They will move out to deeper water once the temps get into the 60's. The good news is that bass will do their thing at different intervals. So while some are starting to spawn...some are finishing.

...but SOMETIMES....something other than a bass gets on there.

I like a chartreuse and white skirt in 3/8 1/2. But when Im on the river...something about that 1/4 oz white that Kentucky bass just hate.

@A-Jay...you got three empty spots in that one box.

Welcome to Bass Resource

I remember one Memorial Day weekend. I put in at Fate Sanders Marina on Percy Priest Lake. I look out on the lake and it was a total freakin mad house of boats. So I thought ...I'll just go into the back of the cove. (Fate Sanders is in a cove). I ended up catching about 30 bass that day... BUT...I was standing on the shoulders of giants that day. It was the 1972 Bass Masters Classic that Don Butler won. He was fishing his spinner bait called the Small Okiebug...in the back of Fate Sanders Cove. BASS MASTERS CLASSICS 1 TO 10

Obviously forgotten knowledge...

I can make em for about .34¢ each. (Owner 5313)

One day while fishing the bridge at N. Salty (Goose Pond Guntersville) we noticed a wildlife officer on the bridge looking through binoculars. Well...he was looking at a bunch of people we knew (who were on a golf trip) fishing off the dock. He said, "You know those guys? You think they got licenses?" I just kept fishin. He goes over and writes em all tickets ($200 each).

Welcome.

I dont use any glue on knots...but I do use the UV glue on other stuff where I need it set up fast.

I like a full grip on shorter handles.

Those reel seats come with an optional Bushido Insert...it would take up that space.

Looks great!

You never know how bad the other maps suck until you see the ones from the Corp.

One solution is to quit taking selfies of every fish you catch...especially if its small. Trow it back ASAP and get on with the next cast.

What lake is it?

1: 7' MedHeavy baitcasting rod for flippin and pitchen 2: 7' Med spinning rod for cranking and other stuff 3: 6'6" Med spinning Ned and Slider rod. ...but would dearly miss the other 10 rods...

I like a bait that's been chewed on a bit...then it gets remelted. My wading tackle box consisted of an old Trilene box that fit in the back pocket of my jeans. Only room for a set number of Sliders...they would go from 4 inch and get reduced in 1/4 inch increments though out the day.
