Hammer 4

Even the 10lb works great, cast's a tad further with lighter baits too..I've had both and presently using the 10 lb yozuri. Try 12lb, it works great for me. A little more manageable and casts further yet still has strong breakage rating

How do you find the Thermocline..? BTW, great thread.

WRB...do you do any Guideing..? Nice fish.

Same here...I had to use em for a t rig once, as I ran outta worm hooks..lol

Very nice fish Roger......

I HATE carp..... >

Yeah, but she Looked good catching them...

Real funny...

Great interview.......Thanks Glenn

These are my Weakpoints.... :-[ Good with plastic's though..

I have the same colors....think I'm gonna get 2 other colors as well, plus some more RT craws..and..anocondas..lol

I think if I caught what I would believe to be a WR bass, I'd still do a CPR, and screw the world record stuff. I'd go to my grave knowing that a 21+ lb bass is still swiming around in some lake, and happy to be alive...........

I bought the BBZ slowsink in the dirty shad about 2 months ago. I also fished it from shore, at local Shallow ponds. What I do is cast out, count to 4 and Slowly reel, then stop, give a Small twitch, and start over again..I found out that if you keep your rod tip way down, the BBZ will run a tad deeper at a slower pace, which let it swim that much better. The ponds I fish are 3-5' deep, and loaded with weeds, and snotgrass, so I try to keep mine about 2' below the surface. Use a heaver line, i.e. I'm using 10lb yozuri hybrid ultrasoft on my baitcaster. I tried it with my spinnig rig, 8 lb yozuri, and it tends to run a bit higher in the water, not much though. Still waiting for a bass to Explode on mine.. ;D

They found her floating...

Ahh shoot, I thought we were talkin Pro's here...lol

Ahh, but there's a fix for this..I'm in the same boat..read this. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1242190824

I can fish plastic's and jigs all day..that's one area where I have plenty of patience..what I truely suck at is...finding good size fish and catching them, i.e. PB is 5.4..so not all of us so. cali guys get the big un's.. :-[ Also I suck at flippin my baitcaster, I know pratice, practice ect.. Just got a sonar, am tryin to learn to use it proplerly to find structure.

I have been fishing city park ponds the last 2 months, and haven't got anything on topwater..jerks, frogs, nada..of course these ponds are very High pressure, and fish are TOUGH to catch, ahhh, the challenge..Gawd I miss bing on a real lake..

And practice, pratice, and practice...your thumb is key. I set my bc pretty loose, meaning it could backlash dang easy, but I get longer cast's fishin from shore. Good Luck, and have fun.

Check ebay for the Curado...about 150.00 shipped

I couldn't believe the things he does...He's 1 Special Man.

I think it helps to know where you are too, i.e. state country ect. I have no idea what Qc is...

Also in addition, have a look at the Shimano Shara reel, and the Shimano Clarus rods..

I prefer the ultrasoft. And even though RW recomends using KVD line conditioner, I never have..the ultrasoft works great w/o it imho. Also, if your fishing stained water or anything other than ginclear, try the green mist yozuri, seems to work better than the clear for visabilty. That's another thing RW talked me into..LOL

I tried them, never caught a fish..so now I use the 7 and 10" ragetails instead, much better action too.. Sorry, didn't mean to rain on your parade.
