I love Powerbait! You best stick 'em quick or they try to eat it!

I'm still using my old 6.2:1 Castaic's, even though I have a lot of newer reels. Still like that original InstaGage design for short distance presentations!

Wasn't any particular reel that did it for me. It was Daiwa's Magforce Z braking system, first experienced in my TD-A HST153. Gave me a new appreciation for BC reel performance. And now, my favorite is a TD-Z 103/105 with RCS 1016 spool. Just awesome!

I've dealt with a few. If you like Pinnacle, you'd like Quantum because in my opinion they are about equals in quality and performance. I still have to test out my new Producer LTE but I won't comment on it until the end of this season after some good use.

If you have to move any of those others to make room for more Pinnacle's you be sure and let me know.

Not only is it big, but it's got really nice colors! Absolute beautiful fish, nice catch!

Got a Duo Pencil last year, still haven't used it. Keep forgetting I have the darn thing!

I did get my PROvider tubes today that A-Jay recommended. These are nice tubes!

I like shotguns of all types! Auto's are probably my favorite and 20 is my favorite gauge followed by the 16. Only SxS I have right now is 16ga.

I think people want to see the fish.. Leave them out and you'll see weigh in crowds diminish dramatically. I LOVE the MLF format! I bet the Pro's like it too....just because the local navy isn't following them around all day.

Worm....by far.

If it's bad enough I can feel if it needs it. Bought a new Revo LTX and the pinion and main gear were dry. Added grease and it feels as sweet as it should. yes, I could feel it.

Was extremely popular when I was a young kid to dress them with Uncle Josh pork trailers. It was often the sub-surface lure of choice for guys that were after bass, and as mentioned the gators (pike) loved them even more. I have not fished one in many years, probably something I should revisit. I mainly fished them in reed beds.

I will have the following on deck.... Spinnerbait Jerkbait Senko jig tube. I almost always start with a spinnerbait.

It was probably Doug Stange.

Nothing wrong with that Cat, she's full of eggs. You can even see them in the picture.

Good job! Sounds like a heckuva fun day!

Every year I most look forward to throwing jigs, t-rig worms, spinnerbaits and jerkbaits. Senko are super effective and I'm getting tired of them but they will still get thrown a lot..

Boat comes out of storage tomorrow so I picked up a pair of Cabela's Guidewear 3500 Auto PFD's tonight. Not tackle, but fishing related anyway. They are nice, glad I bought them.

Lipless/traps are the ones that plague me most.

I've used them one time and they did right by me. Great company!

I've been wade fishing all my life, and am finally going to add a float tube to the game. I've got one picked out at Cabela's, just waiting for it to go on sale. If not, I'll probably have it by mid June. This is the one I decided on..... http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=743402&categoryId=0&parentCategoryId=0&subCategoryId=0&indexId=0&productVariantId=1607486&quantity=1&itemGUID=&WTz_l=Header%253BSearch-All+Products&destination=/user/wishlist.jsp

I have managed to do pretty well without it. I don't need it.

I remember them, didn't have one myself but had a cousin that used them quite a bit. I guess maybe you can add me to the vintage group too!

Nice! I'ma get me some of their 4" tubes too! Look like nice tubes. I use all sizes of tubes on smallies but got a surprise last fall. They were hammering on these big fat 4" Prowler Big Butts and wouldn't touch anything smaller the first 2 weeks of Sept. I had never fished a tube that big for smallies before but they were suckin' them down deep!! They liked Junebug best.
