You will need to try Seaguar Invizx. This stuff is very limp, especially for an FC line. I use it in 6# test. Its limpness helps to keep it from jumping off of the spool. Agree. Best FC line I've used for spinning. Have you try on baitcasters if so how was it?

This may sound silly to some but it works for me every time. I divide the length of worm by 2 equals to size of hook. For instance - 2/4 inches = 2/0 2/6 inches = 3/0 2/8 inches = 4/0 2/10 inches=5/0

Landed 2 of 8 lbers this year and 2 of 7# and an 8 last year all on Zoom finesse with 1/8 oz War Eagle jighead.

I apologize Don, didn't mean to hijack. To your question, a top water and a spinnerbait seem to work best for me when there are high water.

Doubt its the frog skirt that cause it not to walk. Lower your rod tip straight down to the water and turn the handle at the very same time you twitch with your wrist.

Have seen the video a numerous of time and couldn't really tell the difference between Lobsters and The Space Monkeys other than the design. Either will be on my have to have list!

I don't use jig much but I have a friend who is a hardcore jig man. He said when you get a bite on jig, most of the time you will feel its mushy like a wet towel over your jig. I have caught a few that felt like that and he was right. When you feel that then set it hard.

This is the one I've used for years and it does real well. I hacked the wires and clamped an alligator clips (comes with the kit) for 12v battery. Last all day long. Attach the sprayer under the lid and you can open and close your cooler. All set. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_1293____SearchResults

Hate to break it to you RW. Wacky rig weightless is guaranteed anytime and anywhere.

I was reading this on another site and recall this thread on about it. So, thought I'd post it. After reading that, it didn't change my opinion about Ike cause I like the guy and I think its all about marketing. Article posted on another site - 1/17 Mike Iaconelli, the 2006 BASS Angler of the Year (AOY), has signed a sponsorship deal with Biosonix. He joins other heavy hitters on the team like Kevin VanDam, Aaron Martens and Ken Cook. The BSX unit from Biosonix uses an underwater speaker to broadcast sounds and stimulate feeding activity in fish. "I caught wind of the BSX unit in 2005 from talking with Kevin and Aaron and some of the other guys," Ike said. "A lot of the pros that were using it were keeping it under wraps. In 2006 I got my own unit and used it for the entire year. I wasn't paid a dime last year to use the BSX unit I used it because it just works. "The BSX unit absolutely made a difference for me in winning AOY," he added. "Everything came down to the wire this past year and the unit absolutely helped me catch a few more fish those fish made all the difference. Just to give you one example, at Lake Oneida this year, when I turned on the unit, I had fish schooling by the speaker before I could even get a line in the water."

Nah dont really think that colors really matters for night bassin' Its the virbration & scent that attract them. I've caught a couple nice one on pumpkinseed at night so what does that tell ya. Its a theory like everyone said.

Someone posted this http://www.in-fisherman.com/magazine/articles/if2806_HookRemoval/ on this forum. A week later, I used that method on my partner's non-keeper gut hooked bass while he was struggling with it so I took over & it worked on my first try!

Best place to look for fish? In water ;D

Ya know, I was fishing with a guy about 4 times on his boat & he always, I mean ALWAYS had the eye of the hook exposed & knot tag sticking way out with worm curled like it already bit & he still catch em without even bother to fix it. I was confused, thought bass are picky but are they?

Imagine how big she was during the spawn with all the eggs

and a make up ???

Roadwarrior is one of the "fishing structure" expert that might chime in to your rescue. Hey Roadwarrior, in the middle of the lake? ;D

Usually, their back is dark when they've spent most of time in the grass. Its the light peneration & yes your partly correct its the water clarity & covers. More than often, light color fish in muddy water & dark ones in clear. By the way, she's cute.

Of course. Flooded bank. Topwater lures like buzzbait, frogs, floatin worm, & such will do the justice.

Good day for me as I just got back from the pond. The rain poured down all day yesterday & its nice & sunny out today, similar scenerio as yours its up & muddy. Today they're crusing along the bank & I only fished within half hour. 13 fish including 6 lb hawg that hasnt hatch yet were caught on single plastic. Yum Zellamander :-X

Or it could be your presentation? Did you worked each plastic all the same way? If so, then it might be the problem.

GobbleDog ;D

wolfish, jerkbait's right. Also not to mention that if you caught some good fish on cloudy days does not mean you will catch any on sunny days like you did on cloudy. Time to change the bait & fish slowly. Go with seasonal pattern. Good luck.

Wonder if anyone had a good result with painted weight for plastic like worm, lizard, & etc? I had a partner that boated numerous of bass on watermelon lizard texas rigged "purple weight" I used the same lure with him that day but only had original unpainted weight & not a single bite. It has to be the painted weight that made a difference. Let me know your opinion.

Thanks a bunch whiiter. That helps alot. I suppose I just let it hang dry instead of tryng Tim Hughes method by using bicycle wheel that rotates by some kind of motor. One more thing, what kind of epoxy for top coat do you recommend? I've read somewhere that Flex or something other does "yellow" ( I get the picture that its become yellow instead of clear?) but most suggested to go with Devon or something? I'll be out of your hair after this lol. Thanks for your help everyone. BB
