I just bought some of these 7" Sink-O's to use out in Mexico. They look good and dense but I won't try them out until March.

I ended up ordering some river2seas, wareagles, premier plus, terminator and kvd's. I will have to use them a lot on my next trip so decided to get 1-2 of each brand to try out. Thanks

Which company makes the best spinnerbaits? Quality is very important and especially ones that flat out catch fish!

Have you guys seen the new Humminbird fish finders? pretty amazing with the side-imaging feature? Pretty amazing.

I have some. Picked up the Yozuri Rattlin Vibe and a rattlin rapala. But I can't wait to use the two Rattle Traps that I had when I fished as a kid (15 years ago). Changed out the hooks with Owners and I'm pumped to use them. Had monster success with them. For lipless do you guys tie the line right on or do you use snaps? I just tie them right on without any problems. I also used a snap before and didn't have any issues, but my preference is to tire directly on the lure.

Thank you. Your posts are always informative.

I bought these rubber stoppers that tru tungsten makes but they are like 5 dollars for 9 pieces of rubber. Today I went to Bass Pro and purchased the Bass Pro brand sinker stops. I think these will be perfect for holding the weight near the hook. It was $2 and has 45 rubber pegs in a pack.

I've had very good luck catching bass and pike on the minnows in perch and firetiger.

I have one in aurora black. It makes noise and has a good action but truthfully I haven't fished it much.

Bass Pro. They are a basstrix knockoff

Incredible work by him. Does he actually sell those lures?

I finally found out what the problem was. It was ***. Thanks guys.

I'm having issues with the forum being all the way to the right and I have to scroll to the right to see the forum in the middle. This happened after the forum was upgrading. Are any of you having the same issues as me? I have two computers experiencing the same thing but I went to another computer and it was fine. I'm using the latest FireFox and IE7.

Thanks for the advice guys. That's exactly what I like to hear

Do I have my goals set too high if I'm expecting to catch at least 1 5lber?

How's the fishing out there in middle of February? What do you guys normally use out there at this time? What is the weather like? I'm going with Mike Gerry as my guide out there.

believe it or not years ago I've used artifcial worms only twice and both times it was a berkley power worm(I only used to use live bait until recently) and both times I've caught two good size bass. Both times I was deadsticking the worm and it worked. I'm going to make more of an effort to use worms next year when the weather gets nice again.

I've tried the evolution jigs as well as others and the only two jigs I use now are the Jig-x and the pepper jigs.

I don't wacky rig them, I t-rig them and have had success. Ish Monroe's interview with TackleTour: I.Monroe: You know what? I love them all. I really do. Not one bait in the Reaction Innovations line is junk. A lot of people don't like the ball breaker but that's because they're not fishing it right. Most people wacky rig it because that's what they think it's for, but I fish it Texas rigged with no weight and retrieve it. When you retrieve it through the water, that ball will kick back and forth like a swimbait. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewinterviewishmonroepg2.html

Which jig is that?

I've been using the Pepper Jigs football jigs and I love them. They are a bit smaller profile than regular football jigs but that's why I think they work so great. I use the ultimate versions.

I had the same problem. What I did was use a Paca baby craw, cut it and use that as a trailer. Ironically, it fits right over the big rattle just right.

My two most productive have been LC MV500max and the Xcalibur XR50

Thanks, I'll try those ways out.

How do you guys rig your Paca Craws?
