Hammer 4

Awesome...always great to see the kids get involved..Um Dad, might be time for an upgrade on his rig...dontcha think..? ;D

Fwiw..I just got a 7' Clarus spinning rod...gonna try it out tomorrow..M xf action

I use 12 lb yozuri hybrid ultra soft...have also spooled up 10 lb too, which seems to cast a tad further.

My thoughts too..

OTH... I've tossed these out a bunch, and never had so much as a tap. I still have some left, so I'll keep tryin.

Same here...gotta love slow rollin a spinnerbait..

I think you did get a bad one..like others I've caught fish on mine w/o any problems..

Dang...and I thought we had it bad today..6 hrs. and not even a bump.. :-[ On a positive note...like you, I'll hang in there...we'll get em next time.. ;D

T rigged with a 1/4 oz bullet worked for me..

Good start.and nice fish.

Way to go Champ..and congratz..I'd love to fish that place sometime..

Nice fish...you get a weight on it..?

Congratz to you and your Dad, always great to see father and son doin some fishin together..btw...nice fish!!! I have yet to break the 6 lb mark..lol

Since I switched to yozuri hybrid ultra soft. I haven't needed to use KVD line conditioner..

I agree..I use it on all my reels..

I usually check the barometric pressure along with the weather, i.e. cold fronts ect. But like the others, I fish when I can, rain or shine, windy or calm..ect. Just for those wondering...could you elaborate Catt..?

Umm, that would be.."sensed"...sorry I had to.. ;D BTW....congratz on the prize.. 8-)

Bass would be my first choice. Crappie second Blue gill third.. I have caught rainbow trout, but would prefer not to..

I have used triline xl for awhile, then switched to Izorline xxx, then after listening to RW preach about YoZuri, I finally gave in and got some 12lb for my baitcaster, since then I've switched to YoZuri hybrid ultra soft on my spinning reels to, so far it's the best line I've used..

1 baitcaster 3 spinning.. :-[

I haven't fished a live crawdad in over 20 yrs...but I can't ever recall a fish not biting one..

I totally agree....

o.K...took my bps finesse caster in this mornin, girls says, go get another one, cept they were out of them, so I grab a Rick Clunn modle, same price, no problemo..no questions asked. I are a happy camper..

Well..I found my recipt, and it's been a tad over 2 months since I bought it, so I'm heading to bps tomorrow..I'll be really bummed if I drove all that ways for nothing..I'll let you guys know what happened..

Not to get ot, but I started taken my Son out when he was 9, he's been at it ever since. IMHO, it's a Dad's job to introduce his kids to as many activities as possible, so kids can find something they 1..enjoy and 2 are somewhat good at to keep their intrest going. BTW...Dad's will always out fish their kids, at least in my case..lol Keep at it, he just got Lucky..
