Bazoo

I've acquired a Rapala OG slim tiny 4, and so far, though I haven't caught a fish on it, I like it. It really deflects good when it hits an obstacle.

I'm having such problems that I won't be around much until it's resolved. I'll check back periodically and see if it's resolved. I will miss updating the latest catch thread, since I'm going to start slaying them soon. Anyone wants me, pm me and I'll message my email next time I get on.

That is a very nice picture. Thank you for sharing the end of the season.

Rapala Shad Rap size 6 in silver black back, soft split rings, 4lb11oz largemouth. No picture.

I cleared my cache and have restarted several times, for other reasons. I don't have this issue with any other websites I visit, including 7-8 other forums.

I will use it and keep an eye on it, but I am planning on placing an order for parts after I get my taxes back this year. The warranty experience was actually pretty easy.

I caught 5 yesterday, though I didn't have the phone with me. 2 were caught on pre-rigged creme swimbaits, 1 on a big bite baits suicide shad swimbait with a belly weighted ewg hook, and 2 using flukes on the same hook after a gill bit my tail off! This is big for me, as it's my first wintertime success. True wintertime.

The forum always glitches whenever I try to paste a picture in the reply box. Whenever you paste the link, it tries to automatically render the picture, then it glitches and refreshes the page. When you go to the page again, the reply, with the link is automatically saved in the reply box, but the picture doesn't render. If you paste the link in the reply box again, it renders like it should. This is a screenshot of immediately after I paste the link and it tries to render, when it locks up and glitches.

Not long ago, when putting my line back through my tiptop on my Lew's Hank Parker rod, I noticed that the tip top snagged the line a little bit. I contacted Lew's and because I still had my receipt and it was within the 1 year time limit, they replaced the rod. I had to destory the old rod and provide pictures prior to them sending the replacement. I guess their tip top guides aren't any count. I've used this rod only a few times with braid. Literally less than a hour. So they were nice enough to replace the rod, but, I expect the new one to do the same.

I didn't know that KP, thanks for the info.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone.

I like trying new brands and types of reels. That said, I pretty much like 80 and 100 size reels. Smaller reels in other words.

Heck, I've never messed with reels that cost over $150 new. For me it's Blackmax, BPS Pro Qualifiers, and now Diawa CR80. I still use the BlackMax 3 I got used 3 years ago when I took back up bass fishing. It still works just fine, though most of the words and numbers have rubbed off and it's getting shiny. I don't fish as hard as many here, but I fish at couple hours 2-3 times a week on average, and nearly daily in spring and summer.

I received my gift. I will have to get some pictures for the loot thread.

They are not tungsten. They only say "Premium black-nickel hook" for the description. https://www.basspro.com/p/bass-pro-shops-shakey-head

I have been playing with a few shakey heady hooks that was gifted to me, 1 without a screwlock, but a couple that have it. I like screw locks so far. I had one that held my Zoom finesse worm through a dozen fish. And that's about how many fish I've caught on a shakey head so far. These are the first I've actually purchased.

Well, I guess I'll find out how they are.

I appreciate all the suggestions. I wasn't aware of most of them. I'll have to try a good smattering of them.

I would write a letter and mention the church, I'd address yourself as Rev. whether you're the pastor of the church or not, though I take it that you are. I think the best bet is being that you're her back door neighbor, and a church/preacher.

I texas rig them with a 3/0 worm hook and twitch them 1'-3' below the surface. I give 2-3 twitches like a jerkbait and a pause, usually a short pause. I will also run the double fluke rig this way. I will run either the double fluke rig, or a single fluke, on the surface or just below the surface like a spook as well. All from shore, and both in grass and non-grass bodies of water.

Wow, thanks for sharing @Jar11591.

I have fished them through light grass, but not heavy stuff. I don't fish any places that are heavy grass lakes... yet.

I enjoy cataloging cast bullets. I enjoy the history of each design, and how it's used in the field. I enjoy casting and using them as well. RCBS 44-250-K with and without lube.
