This is my go to crank bait, I love them. If I am throwing a crankbait 75 percent of the time its a spro... I hate throwing cranks but I have had several 60-70 fish days on one spro.

I personally prefer netbaits swimbait, they last, unlike some of the other hollowbody's I have used. I really like fishing them on a scrounger head, which is nice because you can adjust your action and depth with them. Owners new swimbait hook with the willow leaf is real nice as well.

Guides? lol, pretty much around here you have little lakes that are good, the big ones are junk, all of the good lakes are in oklahoma or missouri... granted there are some decent lakes about 2 hour drive from wichita that are in kansas.

Where exactly where you at?

Some buddies and I will be there, we are launching out of lynn creek... we had a college tournament last year when it was going on... talk about a ton of boats everywhere.

What did you get? Jay ended up with a champion... now I am stuck fixing it all the time

Watch out, mike is slightly old but the passenger seat in his boat if very comfortable. There are places all over, NE oklahoma is simply amazing in my opinion.

I have both, the spro takes on water... people say to do this or that to them and they work better.... My thing is why spend that kind of money on a frog and have that kind of problems. I like the mad maxx frog but my favorite so far is the river2sea frog with the small colorado blade on the back..... by far my most productive frog yet

I had a huge problem snapping their hooks, granted this was several years ago but I won't go back.

I pitch probably 75 percent of the time i fish, I can pitch quite a ways, accurately. I pitch just b/c if I am out of the back of the boat, fishing a tx, roll casting out of the back sucks... and you tend to get some mean looks when u bounce something off the outboard. I practice, anytime I pick up a rod, i pitch around. Pretty much whatever you feel comfortable with is normal.

They are the same frames, from what I can tell, and its pretty much the same as a revo s, centrifugal braking with a slower gear ratio. Great reel for cranks or just to slow your presentation down.

The escalades have had issues... but the silver max's do as well. The best bang for the buck, that is cheap, would be one of the bass pro reels when they are on sale. The only other thing is spend a lil extra money and get a revo s, revo orra(if u use a right handed reel), or a citica.

Check to see if you have fuel pressure at the valve on the fuel rail, then if you do then you know its not the pump. If it doesn't see if you have power and ground going to the pump, if you do and its not pumping then wham bam thank you ma'am its your pump. You could do it yourself but since you said you just filled up i would take the bed off and do it that way... alot easier and no mess.

I like alot of the rage stuff, it has all performed real well for me.... Now the evolution jig.... JUNK! Skirts fell apart, nothing special except the huge price tag.

The reels are made by quantum, i know one of them looks identical to the code.... i wouldn't own the reels, the rods might be alright
