Shadrac

Hello- nearly every summer I fish a great lake in Maine that is populated by a few zillion smallmouth all under 2 lbs. I was looking for a good suggestion for a light weight (or ultra light) rod. 6' seems right but 5'6" would work too. Was hoping to keep the budget under $100. Any one have a favorite?

hello - I have a few of these that I was going to sell, bought them a year ago and just never tie them on. If you send me your email to jroetzel@neo.rr.com- I can send you photos of them later today. best and favorable winds shadrac

thanks guys I think its time to price a jack plate or see if I can find a swap on the motor shadrac

Hello due to some unusual circumstances I ended up with a 14 foot jon boat (it takes a short shaft 15" transom) and a motor that is 20" transom. I was hoping someone could tell me what the draw back to the set up would be? thanks Jim

any thoughts on a good replacement for a bogo? saw this but could find no reviews: http://www.***.com/descpageGAMBTT-EFFD.html thanks shadrac

Tackle Warehouse is a great example of how a business should run. They handle orders with care, appreciate your business and work hard to keep it. Shadrac

thanks ToP Dog

Hello I fish a friend's private farm pond - its a nice lake with some decent bass. But it is one of those one bait lakes- the bass in the lake love smaller double buzz buzz baits. If you hang around here you buy Cavitron Buzz Baits- they don't make a double buzz (yet.) Can anyone recommend a decent double buzz bait around 3/8 oz thanks Shadrac

Pflueger Never Fail or Monarch Minnow need to say if it floats or sinks shadrac

About the 2nd bait down that one Marty painted for me I have always had good luck with older wooden creek chub darters I thought his perch color pattern would work well haven't used it yet but I think Creek Chub might still be in business if they offered Marty's colors Shadrac

Roland Martin bobble head bait

of course it is but with all the younger folks on the BF forums - not sure too many have ever seen one- it was my dad's favorite top water bait for smallmouths I have learned that there was a second manufacturer of Shadracs from Texas your turn.

lets try this one

I think that's a Heddon black shore minnow pattern- the lure was a small sinking spook but I don't know its exact name Shadrac

When I was growing up, the father of a friend of mine used to always say the goal of any fishing lure is to catch the fisherman first. And of course he was right but we still collected lures to add to the box. The latest trend in that strategy is Sexy Shad color- which sort of surprises me because the pattern has been around for years. Heddon had it on their early Pumpkin Seed pattern of Bluegill. So if you want to see the sexiest shad - go this link http://www.tacklecollecting.com/heddontinypunkinseedcolors.htm scroll down a little and you will see classic 1955 sexier than shad Bluegill.

To Basser89 to clarify - I thought the other scales were too expensive (BOGA and others) and the BPS scale was at the good price point- I am considering buying one and wanted to know if they were good or do you have to pay more money to get a reliable and durable scale. To Marty It looks like Cabela's has a similar product with their name on it and again my concern wasn't about name or label just if it was known to be any good- the reviews in their site are not too favorable. thanks for your input Shadrac

http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&partNumber=93413&hvarTarget=search&hvarAID=&cmCat=10004138 I guess I have waited to buy one of these based on price $50-100 for a scale seems a little high was wondering if anyone has used this yet It is listed as a new item but I am suspicious that it is someone else's product and they just put their name on it thanks Shadrac

Tiny Torpedoes are a favorite top water bait for nearly everything that bites- I caught a catfish one afternoon on a frog colored one. Earlier in the thread there was a question about torpedo colors 1) Bullfrog 2) Black shore minnow (can be hard to find but shouldn't be) 3) Baby Bass Shadrac

I have a Pamlico Excel Sport by Wilderness Systems. 15'6 with 20 lb. thrust trolling motor.. Great for fishing or photography. I bought it for both, but an injury has meant the Kayak has been in the garage for nearly 4 years. Dimensions Width 32, Depth 14, Cockpit Length 88, Cockpit Width 22, 90 lbs, Forest Green Color I can send pics if you'd like and if you are looking for one mine is for sale ($350) shadrac

I should have written this are their brands to avoid... but I am looking for a 15-16' jon boat - probably a 15 or 1648 or wider if I can find one. I fish/live in an area where a deep hull is not typically necessary and many lakes have a 9.9 limit or no motor restriction. So I have decided on a 9.9 Yamaha engine, a large trolling motor set up and a couple raised seats- just have to find the right boat to put them into. Any input would work- brands don't matter- weight is not an issue- in my research so far I think an all-weld will be best but I don't think its 100% necessary. About the only other thing I need to add is a rod locker and a secondary storage area. One more thing- if anyone has opinions on the Lowe Big John 16 I would appreciate them also- there is one on close-out locally for $1600 thanks Shadrac

I can get a little lost in the GLoomis letters do you know the loomis identification of the walleye rod? thanks

Hello could use one suggestion for a reel size and brand thanks shadrac
