It makes the package of worms smaller because the bag becomes skin tight. If you take your bags and look closely, they will be packed with air. Try cramming an air filled ziploc bag into a 3700 plano. It doesn't work. I vacuum the air out, and everytime I use the bag of baits, I roll it back up, squeezing out as much air as possible. This saves so much space and will allow you to stack bags on top of bags.

I love the color Diamond Dust by Rat-L-Trap. Its awesome in clear water

The tungsten alone adds a ton more sensitivity, but the real advantage in the Ikey Heads in the bend in the hook. It's awesome at keeping the bait tight up against the head when you skip docks or cast sharply. I mainly use the Ball Buster in 1/8oz because it has a 60 degree line tie. It's more suited for shaking, and I beleive an angled line tie hooks more fish. The Weed Wacker and Ikes Spike is basically a T-rig that has the weight pegged if you look at it closely. If I use those, it's really for the worm keeper.

I fish both weights and jigs. If you fish tungsten gives you an immediate advantage. It's unbelievably sensitive, it's smaller in size, and the density makes it louder when hitting rocks and hard bottom. Tie on two carolina rigs. Have one rigged witha 3/4oz lead weight, and one with a 3/4oz tungsten weight. Hit a point with the lead, then go over it with the tungsten. The difference is massive, and you will feel so much more down there. When tungsten hits bottom, you feel it, so if there a 1ft drop, you feel it, if it's a 5ft drop, you feel it. You can desifer rocks from stumps from brushpiles. It's truly awesome. As far as the jigs go, the real difference I feel is when I use a big jig in summer. What I do is tie on a 1/2oz tungsten jig, add a big zoom super chunk trailer, and throw it where I would throw a c-rig. Only difference is, I drag a c-rig, with the jig, I tighten my line, lower my rod, and shoot the jig off the bottom with a sharp snap upward. This triggers massive reaction strikes and the tungsten allows you to explore the bottom better than leadheads. Work a jig in 35ft of water, then work a tungsten jig. You will feel a difference. Hawgin mentioned the Tru-Tungsten Ikey Heads. Those things are great. Once again, the tungsten allows you to feel around alot better, but what I really like about them is the bend in the hook. It really helps to keep the worm up. My favorite TT Ikey Head is the 1/8oz Ball Buster.

Wal-Mart is ABSOLUTELY not quiting on there fishing section. Over the past few weeks, I have seen all 5 local Wal-Mart's increase there tackle qauntity and qaulity. I would say that Johnny buying Gander is a good possibility. Or atleast a partnership has been formed. I have no idea if B.A.S.S. is being bought by Johnny, but the FLW comment is false

The Yum Dinger is packed with salt. Any bait that has a high salt content will take on a different shape with pressure. Its probably best the ditch the worm binder, and take all your bags of plastic, vacuum the air out, rool them up, and stick them in a deep trayed tackle box.

The Smaller jerkbait and popper are incredible. The entire line of crankbaits are junk in my opinion. But the jerks and topwaters are definately worth the money

I was at the classic, standing front row on the floor. On the megatron they showed some of his action through the day. Every one of his fish, to my amazement, was caught on the red-eye. He really does like Strike King products.

OWNED!

It's really up to how much it matters to you. It would matter to me because I like everything that I'm fishing to be flawless, and missing an eye, while not really a big deal, would bother me. So what I would do would be.... Call the online store you bought it from. Say you have the reciept, or emial order conformation, or anything else proving you bought that lure. If that doesn't work then call Lucky Craft and explain to them what happened. After that, take Pa Anglers and glue on a replacement eye and hopefully it would match the other. Good luck

I bought a few of them about a month ago. There sweet. I really like them. I throw them a mile on a 6'6" MH, but I use 20lb Big Game. The thing with the King Shad is that it swims like a crankbait/swimbait hybrid. It's head doesn't track straight like a swimbait, but it doesn't have the kicking wobble like a crankbait. IMO, it looks best when its slow rolled and then you twitch it. It completely rolls over sideways and then rights itself. It looks alot like a crippled, dying shad. If you have the right equipment, then get the King Kong. It's the King Shads big bro. It's another crank/swimbait hybrid but it swims more like a swimbait, but it can break a MH rod like a twig.

Just wanted to make it clear that I dont drink.

RH. when I broke my hand I had to use a left for 6 weeks. HELL Ice House or Bud Light ....has anyone ever tried redstripe before? there commercials always crack me up. Just wondering because I've never heard someone say..."mmmmmm just sippin on a redstripe, what are you up to?"

Take both hooks off, and put a #1 Owner on the front.

Laptop Who's meaner.... Chuck Norris or The baitmonkey?

is this a joke?

if you still have the reciept, then go exchange it at the store you bought it from. it works at bass pro.

Dinks tip about 3 or 4 wraps is perfect. That is exactly how you tie on bucktail to jigs. It secures it and helps it to flare, but if you wrap it once, it twists.

I really like the Gamakatsu EWG's but ever since Randall showed me the Owner Rig N' Hook its all I've used. Owners are more expensive, but there awesome hooks.

get the new pro qaulifier spinning combo. it is awesome! the new mag spool technology is so sweet, and if you compare it to there older reels you will see a huge difference. plus, the pro qualifier is a top of the line rod.

Lure - Shakey head, Senko, Split shot rig, Lipless Crankbaits Water - Im real good in the 5-10ft range, or that's where my comfort zone is. When the water is super clear but looks light green is when I'm most confident Angler - I'm definately a finesse fisherman. I may use big baits ocassionally, but my presentations always have a finesse twist.

Doesn't Edwin Evers use the Pro Qaulifier rods exclusively?

I would love to see Chris write an e-book on crankbait fishing

I have never texas rigged a senko, but there are times when a senko on a 1/8oz spotsticker jighead is killer in deep brushpiles. It's not t-riggin, but its similar

Avid, my mom just had to run out here and take a spoon to my toungue due to the seizure I got. You have a face???? When did this happen!!
