Arashi 18 and 19
I was interested in buying the Arashi 18 swimmer and 19 glide bait. When should i use the swimmer and when should I use the glide bait? My lake is very clear and has trout stocking so im not sure if I should pick up green gill, rainbow trout, or ghost rainbow trout (more translucent and clear). Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

FINS windtamer braid
Has anyone used FINS windtamer braid before? I was kinda a Jbraid guy before but the line is really soft and often wraps around the tip but it casts pretty well. Any reccomendations?

Best texas rig open water soft plastic
I love bank fishing with a texas rig and am looking to expand my arsenal for soft plastic baits. The place I fish has a pretty big patch of eelgrass that goes diagonal for a good amount of distance. Any recommendations? I had pretty good success with the rage bug. Its a pretty pressured lake so I usually just land 1-2 fish averaging about 1 pound. I'd prefer catching more fish than bigger ones since I only have a 2 hour period to fish that lake usually during sun down. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

watermelon seed vs watermelon red flake
Is there a big difference between watermelon seed and watermelon red flake? Im picking up a few t-mac's and I have decided to pick up green pumpkin but cant decide between watermelon seed and watermelon red flake. Also not sure if 6.5 is overkill, I usually catch 1-2 pounders.

T Rig Hookset time
How long should I wait before i set the hook on a t rig? I usually wait around like 5 seconds to see if the fish has it fully in its mouth but sometimes they drop it after a while. Should I set the hook after I feel a tap? or wait a few seconds.

Rage bug vs Rage craw
Ive used the rage bug for a while and it has been a very productive lure for me. I have never used a craw style bait and was wondering if I should pick a few up. I usually fish pretty clear water lakes with a decent amount of eel grass, im not sure how deep. Should I try a rage craw out? Ive never caught a fish on a craw style bait so I tend to shy away from it.

Shakey Head weight reccomendation
I am buying some shakey heads soon and I have never used them before. I am thinking of buying some 1/4 oz weight heads but im not sure if thats too heavy. Maybe something lighter like 1/8 or 3/16. Im trying to go heavier because I bank fish and casting out further is kinda a hassle with lighter lures. My lake has mostly flatter bottom with not alot of rocks present. all recommendations really appreciated, thanks

Shakey head in grassy clear lakes
I am interested into getting into more finesse shakey head fishing. My lake is pretty clear but has deep submerged vegetation. I fish from the shore and cant figure out where the grass patch starts and ends and Im not too sure how high the grass gets. Is a shakey head good for grassy lakes? or should I shy away from it. Thanks

Finesse Shaky Head Worm Color
Im trying to get into shaky head fishing but I cant decide what colors to buy. Im picking up a few packs of the Net bait finesse t-mac in green pumpkin but cant decide if I should get Junebug or watermelon candy. I fish pretty clear waters, does watermelon candy work better than Junebug or visa versa? Sorry for the question I never fished junebug color before.

Clear water/little cover/ alot of deep underwater grass
I fish a lake that has a pretty good amount of clear water but has a very big patch of underwater grass pretty deep down. Ive been throwing the texas rig but when I retrieve back, I always get stuck in the grass even if I tex spouse the hook. Any lure or different rigging recommendations, I would really appreciate any feedback.

Rage Bug Vs D Bomb
I have fished the Rage Bug a few times and have caught a decent amount of fish with them and really enjoy using them. Im trying to expand my creature bait arsenal and have been looking into the D bomb. I fish open water/pretty clear water with alot of grass on the bottom. Is the D bomb another good alternative for the Rage bug mainly fishing open water on a texas rig? Any recommendations are really appreciated.
