ok thats cool that they really work. my motor now really bogs down w/ weeds and gets all tangled up around the prop. i dont think that weeds on the shaft would realy be a problem. i didnt really see any difference in that prop and the one thats on mine now, except the new one was sharper and maybe a bit more curved, but not much.

i do fine worming w/ my spinning rod which is medium power and a fast tip.

definitley get the symetre. i have a pflueger trion ultralite reel, and it crapped out on me, it took me like 2 hours to fix it. i really like shimano gear, i jsut got a new citica, and that thing is so nice. defintley go w/ the symetre.

well guys, i put some 50lb power pro line on it, and thats stuff isnt bad at all. it stays round, and so far i have seen no wear and tear on my rod tip or line guide on the reel. anyway, i finally got a chance to cast it in my yard w/ a plug. it casts so nicely. i can set the breakes so only 2 out of six are on, and i dont even have to thumb the spool and still not get backlash!!! i decided to try and turn one more off, so only one out of six brakes were on, well...i got a minor backlash, but the cast went a looong way. i think i'll stick w/ 2 for a while, and once i get better i may just use 1.

ok thats good. for a lure that expensive, it better have nice customer service like that!

i saw a minn kota brand weedless trolling motor prop at walmart yesterday for 17bucks. i wanted to get it but i dont have enough money, and im not sure if they truly are weedless. so...do they really work and how weedless are they? what makes them weedless anyway?

well if you caught shad, then throw lures that look like shad!i would work my bait against the current...but just me.

i got the same stuff at a pond where i fish. only mine is so thick, that it grows upwards out of the water about 6inches. i just throw texposed soft stick baits in there.

my live pointer broke today (suprisingly not the joints, the lip snapped clean in half) and so i called up lucky craft and told them about it and the lady asked if i had a copy of the reciept, i said i sure do, and she told me i can send it to their office in california and they will send me a new one. i thought that was pretty dang easy! will i still be able to return the next one if it should break?

well guys turns out i decided to go the braid route. i got 50lb power pro. this way i can fish my expensive lures on my baitcaster. also it will be good for throwing snakes and other topwaters on the lilies.

LAB i really like my old lightnin rod, but im broke now that i bought that reel. if i ever get the money, i might get a new rod...but i dont think i would cuz i'd be getting a new rod equivallent to the lightning rod anyways. riskkid, i sure hope so too!

my advice is taking a wacky rigged senko or look alike or even a lunker city fin-s or look alike and just working it around the edges or any pockets or holes or anything. just place it as close as possible, let it fall...maybe give it a few tiny twitches, if it makes it all the way to the bottom, then jerk it all the way to the top, and repeat. i slay them doin that. another method i use is to take a texposed senko or look alike and just cast it parallel to the edges, and work it all the way along the edge. just let it sink, sit for a while, give it a few twitches, a big sweep, let it sit, and repeat.

i dont use mepps but i LOVE LOVE LOVE bluefox. one of my all time favorite baits is the bluefox vibrax minnow spin. absolutely slays all warmwater species (bass, crappie,bluegill...) i do however own one mepps, its the comet minnow...i caught my biggest crappie ever on that.

haha im sure i will like it more!!! now im working on bugging my dad into taking me fishing saturday morning or sunday night...or if im good maybe both ;D!!!!

can i get this yozuri line at dicks? how much money does it cost and which kind should i get? im looking for a line w/ very little memory and good strength.

its a well known fact that BPS owns Browning (or at least i thought it was well known) but im not sure who makes the reels for them. i have heard its pflueger, but im not sure.

YAY! ;D my new reel came in today. i mounted it on my berkley lightnin rod Ken Cook professional series M action 6'6" rod. cant wait to try this baby out!!!!!

these are great cranks. whats best about them is they go to the exact depth right out of the box. so you can load up on the ones for the depths you fish. i really like the shad color, but match your local forage.

hey buddy that coloring is perfectly normal. alot of my fish are that colored. i find that fish change color to adapt to their environment. i'll bet that fish came out of a pond w/ alot of thick hyrdilla weeds or similar...am i correct? i find that if im fishing in cold, deep, or murky waters, the fish are washed out in color and are just a solid silvery pale green. if im fishing in normal conditions, well the fish look normal, if im fishing in weedy conditions, the fish adapt to sorta match the color of the weeds. if its thick bushy hydrilla, they are usually that yellowish color. i've also caught fish out of weeds that were so rich in color they almost looked black!

yea how do you choose who gets the giveaways?

mines gotta be junebug.

x2!!! its tough at first but once you get it down its so much better than spinning gear. and you are absolutely correct, you do have to release the spool much earlier than on spinning gear!

depends...what do you want, spinning gear or baitcasting gear? for spinning gear, i'd reccomend something like an okuma stratus or abu garcia cardinal 500 for the reel. for the rod get a shakespeare ugly stick lite series. for baitcasting gear, the daiwa procaster is a nice beginners reel. you could get an ugly stick rod for this too. that spinning combo should only cost about 80-100 dollars and the baitcasting combo should cost about 100-120 dollars. not too bad of a price for the combo.

which ones do you have?

i voted reel for multiple reasons. i really dont care about the rod. i'd like for it to not break under normal circumstances but also not cost me upwards of 100 dollars. this is why i employ an ugly stick lite series, and a berkley lightning rod professional series. each in my pricerange, work just fine, and are durable. now, about the reel. if your reel craps out, you cant fish. if the handles snap, you cant fish. if the gears fail, you cant fish, if the drag sucks, you cant fight a fish. however, if an eye pops off your rod, sure performance might decrease, but you can still use the rod. if the tip snaps off, then you could either cut off down to the next guide and accept a shorter rod, or you could even get a repair kit. anyway, its not that big of a deal. also, i know when anything is bighting my lure. sure you might not feel it as well on a medium class rod, but, i can still feel it's there and set the hook.
