abu 5600 d6,,,jeguy,,,glad to see im not the only one who has this AWESOME reel.

fish move shallow at in the evenings and night to feed,,,,thats what i hear anyway

This time of year,,you definately want some soft plastics. Seems like all the bass will bite when the hot summer weather kicks in. Besides, you dont have to be an expert to catch fish on a worm. For years i caught bass just throwing them out and swimming them straight back. Culprits are great worms,,cant beat the tail action IMO. But i like the Tequila shad myself.

Here's my .02, If Mr. Yamamoto wants to continue to sell his baits at 6$ a bag, he will lose a large part of his share of the market. With so many cheaper knock-offs on the market, he will eventually have to lowe the price. Here's the scenario, im 13 years old looking to buy a bait, and I have read dad's old bassmasters magazines and know all about the senko and the craze that has followed them. Mom's taking me to Gander Mountain to buy some knew fishin stuff. Being on an allowance, I am limited in my funds, say, twenty dollars a week. I'm looking at the senkos and I've got one picked out, now, out of the corner of my eye, I see these plastic baits that look just like the senkos i have in my hand. I quickly throw the senkos down and grab a bag of yum-dingers and a nice new rapala for a dollar more than a bag of senkos. Im feeling like the bargain shopper my father is! Back at the old fishin spot, I'm catchin fish left and right with this yum-dinger. I deplete my resources and with next weeks allowance I decide to go back and buy some more bait. What do you think i'm going to buy? Yum-dingers. Now say I don't catch anything on this bait that looks like a senko, will i buy the senkos this time? Not a chance. Now, im all grown up and have a job and I can actually afford senkos, but these yum-dingers have worked well all of my younger years. Will I buy the senkod? Probably not. Now, the moral of my story is,,if he wants to appeal to the younger anglers, he had better offer a better price tag, or else the younger angler will most likely buy the cheapest equivelant. This is an unbiased observation, as I really dont use either one. I have tried them both with limited success and prefer not to use them at all. Just my .02,,,agree or disagree. Nice post, by the way Low Budget. I can see the boards parting like the red sea

water clarity is a variable that changes from person to person. It depends mostly on the type of water that suurounds you. Some people consider 8+ visibility clear 5-8 slightly stained, 3-5 stained, etc. just my .02

switch to a crankbait, or spinnerbait.

if it has lots of rainbows in it, expect to catch more rainbows than bass. They'll hit just about anything a bass would.

I kinda agree with five. I think you may need to back off the bank 10-20 feet. I have done the best off a buzz, or any topwater for that matter, well off the bank.

Follow that water up, they will head to the newly flooded areas and eat. Tie something shallow running on, 1 foot crank, spinner, worm adn enjoy.

The bait companies always try to change things slightly and push it on the consumer as if it were the next best thing since sliced bread. Then everyone starts buying into it, then EVERY manufacturer has to start producing the same thing to keep up. I would be willing to bet berkley, stren, etc. will start making a red line now too. I have noticed that gander mountain cannot keep the cajun red in, so the others almost have no choice but to follow suit. Is it really that much better? Probably not. The biggest fish I ever caught was off low vis green. If I ever catch one bigger off the cajun is it because it was red? Or just because everything else was right? Just my .02

Truthfully, if it hasn't been fished in ten years, I would venture to say just about anything you throw out there will get bit.

I personally just filet them wether they're still flopping or not. Usually just takes a couple seconds before it quits flopping. Just have to ignore the god-aweful scream the let out . Just kidding, RW's suggestion of ice is the best way.

Yeah, I tend to have to put a dip of kodiak in at every trip, but then I have a dip of kodiak 4 or 5 times a day anyway.

I have used the Gander Mt brand and the yum dingers. I think they are made by the same company. Same colors same slit on one side. The only difference is the yum brand is doused in salt. I could be wrong, but they seem to be the same bait to me. And to answer your other question, yes I have had luck with the Gander brand.
