i would guess that the spade shaped bill causes it to have a tighter wobble. im not sure on that though. what i am sure of is they are very good cranks. i like the 2A and SquareA's alot.

DTs are my favorite crankbait. i caught the fish in my avatar on a DT-4 sure-set. very durable and very nice action. i have used all the styles of the DT (regular, flat, fat, sureset) and never had a lip break off. from what ive read though, the lips only broke off on the older ones, and the deeper they dove the more easily they broke (because of the longer, more fragile bill). but they have fixed that problem since and the newer models of DT are very duarble. well reccomended. good luck with your new crankbaits!

oooooo!!!!!! i like your work man!!!! am i too late for the party? i have 6 baits picked out i would love for you to do in tennessee shad! i will PM you...hope you can squeeze me in.

i recently bought an eagle cuda 168 for $70 from BPS. i plan on putting it on my 12ft alum. jonboat too. im gonna hook up the transducer to the trolling motor with a little mounting kit i bought. havent used it yet so i cant really give you a review, but there are some good reviews on bass pros website.

good suggestions so far. also dont forget stick baits. they imitate minnows too. pick youself up a pack or two of *** 4 or 5 inch *** in shimmer shad and smoke red or blue pepper. those mimic minnows great in the water and they are my best producing colors.

fourbizz, do you have pictures of your work? i have a few cranks that arent beat up at all, infact, they've never been used. i just flat out dont like the colors, so i dont fish em. but if you could paint em all pretty that would be cool.

OMG IM DYING! WHAT IS THE PROTOTYPE!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!? (thats not gonna cut it is it? youre not gonna tell me are you?) nice job catchin fish oh, and why is fishing a c-rig in a canoe dangerous? :-?

wow, clever dudes right there. ;D ;D ;D

lol that was a pretty funny one. didnt see that punchline coming.

yup saw the episode of mythbusters too. it was a good episode. you can pretty much tell its photoshopped cuz the lighting on the explosion doesnt look like the rest of the lighting.

bored sophmore in highschool :

are these only available at academy or something? why does everyone keep bringing up that academy doesnt do online sales? is Xpress academies house brand? anyway those look great. i'd like to see their entire product line up.

lol that first video made me laugh!!! good stuff you got going on there.

wow those look very nice. got any online links for em? i'd like to get some of their pointer rip offs.

talking about swimming a swim jig. lol swim jigs have a different style head and profile and weedguard. they are made to be swam.

i really dont care about the superbowl or who wins. i dont like watching or playing sports. just not for me i guess.

i have a pflueger Trion GX ultralight combo i got from dicks and its pretty nice. i like it alot.

;D tkite has a good suggestion. pretty much any reel in the $100 dollar range will be of equal quality. it all depends on what brand you like the most and all the nitty gritty features of each reel.

if write fishing for any word that begins with "fi" when youre writing a paper and you have to scribble it out.

i use mono for trebel hook lures. i use it cuz it streches, which is good to prevent trebels from ripping out. all single hook lures i use braid. its sooooo much more sensative and zero strech you can get a solid hookset and horse em out of cover. also, its got no memory, so your line wont coil when there is slack when you fish a jig or worm.

power pro will not eat your guides on your avid. they are Fuji Concept or Fuji Alconite. they will not be phased by braid. the only guides braid eats into are cheap ones that are just stainless steel (ugly stik, lightning rod, etc). 50lb power pro has not harmed my avid but it has dug grooves in my ugly stik and lightning rod. how far can you cast? however far that it, double it. put that much braid on it. fill the rest with mono. in other words, if you can cast 100 feet, then fill up the spool with mono, and then tie on your braid and spool on 200 feet of braid. this will conserve your braid since it isnt cheap. and it doesnt get "old" either so if you want to you could take all of the braid off your spool and just flip it around...tie the end your lures used to be on to the mono backing, and it will be like fresh again.

shimano citica 100dsv

nope. but that is kinda neat. i saw plans for that on the internet a while ago. forget where they were though.

i have a leaky 12' aluminum jonboat and 36lb motor and batterey. its pretty much a pain in the butt to transport and fishin. that thing is so tipsy its not even funny. its a big pain to have to deal with the leak. that $500 10 foot boat is riveted, and if i get a jonboat it will be welded...i dont wanna deal with rivets again. a 10 foot jonboat would be pretty difficult to handle by my self...im not a very big guy. and i probably wouldnt get a trailer because alot of the places i fish have no boat ramp.

i was flippin channels this morning and north american fisherman TV was on VS. and some lady was fishing with a swim jig and she said NEVER EVER set the hook and ALWAYS point the rod at the fish......i thought this went against everything i have learned on this site...any thoughts?
