Same here....matter of fact i won't put any flouro on a spinning reel unless used as a leader. Never fill any reel over 1/8 with flouro or you're gonna have problems.

Ever hear little voices in your head saying you need this rod,reel or lure?That's the bait monkey trying to get you to spend money.Yeah...we named the little devil....

I usually use a 3/8 weedless jig skirtless with a sabertail bug from berkley.Cast that thing up current and let it drift down.(repeat several times)Gonna guess you can do that with almost any creature bait and get that reaction bite as it's drifting pass them. This was my hot technique i used in the spring.Nailed some nice size smallmouths and largemouths.

Snakes and spiders for me...Usually i just leave em' alone as long as they leave me alone. I remember a spider climbing down a tree and landed right in my face,swatted it so hard it landed in the water then a bluegill nailing it.Now that was funny. mosquitos..who doesn't hate em'? I was responsible for ticks getting into my house once...somehow got into my tackle bag then onto me and my dog.That sucked....got undressed to take a shower and a dang tick was stuck to my left side hip....I near dang freaked out.

My season ends in dec. Baitmonkey is usually the strongest these times.... Resisting the baitmonkey is pretty much impossible. Now i could go ice fishing,but do i really want to hold on to a 2 foot pole freezing by booty off? Not really.

;D As funny as that is....i'll promise you he'll act like he don't remember doing that to you. It's like driving in a car...no matter how many idiots are out there driving most of them don't even know they are doing anything wrong.When you do it to them,they'll swear they never do that to other people.

You are a better man than i am....that's for sure.... I think i'd something would happen to me like sam. "what comes around goes around" I live by that quote.

I'm becoming a big fan of japan reels....I like the bling bling on those things... I just don't like the price tag on them.

When it comes to putting on line..i do it myself as well...that berkley spooler does just fine. I will never let somebody else put line on for me.Very picky about it.

I can't buy anything right now for awhile(till after christmas),but when i do those buzzbaits will be one of the first on my list to buy.

Exactly...They'll argue they didn't say it's an actual LC lure.That's how they win as well.Gotta pay attention to the fine prints they try to pass off. I know a guy who sells fake gucci purses and believe me he wins the argument every single time simply because he didn't say they weren't real ones.His wording was so good it fooled alot of girls.Very sad...Because these girls paid anywhere from $100-$500 for these...only to get a $25 dollar cheap brand.

Very interesting and excellent post. I think it's all has to do with confidence.

Sweet

Read it slower...There's 4 1000's then you add 40+30+20+10=100.Your mind is thinking another "1000". It's a trick question.

Is there any chances of seeing pictures? I love seeing pictures of catches. My dream is to catch a peacock bass before i die....

I brought the hydro lure once.Why? well lets just say i wasn't in my right mindset that night. Boy did i regret it in the morning....

The older guys out by me always seem nice.Most of them are just going after the carps or bluegills for dinner.

I don't know.... usually i like doing both....

I'm guessing he got a fake LC lure?

There's one opening up in allen park,MI.... NICE yipppeee! *adds another sport store to the list*

I've used blue fox,panther martin,mepps and worden's...they all catch fish. Matter of fact i used it last weekend as a search bait.

I'm in the same situation....got sick of not catching i actually broke out the spinning rod and an inline spinner from blue fox...starting nailing them yesterday.For whatever reason they wanted something small and flashy.They wouldn't bite anything else.

Thanks raul for clearing that up....however they got this made,it's the way i like it...seems to be able to set it exactly the way i want it.
