bassin is addicting

thanks for the input.. those 3:16's and black dog look sweet but out of my price range :'( the footloose i got is pearl/blue back. i haven't seen the xcalibur wake ( i do like their new silent 3ft runner), i'll check out the RC LC 1.5 this weekend too.

ok...help... dummy me.. :-? what's the 3:16 baits?? i should know these, eh? sorry.... can you be more specific.... maybe even use a crayon to color me a pic? i'm heading to Bass Pro this weekend...

what have you have had the most luck with....and color. i've got a Mann's 1-minus but have had no luck and i picked up a Bandit footloose but have not had the chance to use it. wonderin' what else i may want to treat the bait monkey to... :-/ thanks...

i own 2 of the ugly stix lite pro...have had them for 4 years 2 piece spinning rods. i keep them in my trunk for after work on the way home stops. have had no problem. they definitely fit the purpose. and you can't beat the price.

no boat... so, i'll check in to your suggestions. i appreciate your info.. thanks..

thanks for the info... maybe i won't get much, if any, fishing inthis time... but later this year i sure hope to get some in a few times when i visit. i need to find some place i can do some bank fishing. local lakes or so around Mobile.

my son just graduated from Coast Guard basic training and will be based in Mobile. i am following him there from IN this coming friday. i will be there Sat and Sun any one got any ideas where i could do some bass fishing this weekend that is close to Mobile? i will be coming straight down Hwy 65 from IN i would love to squeeze in a quick half day or so. thanks for any help.

Kent, doesn't it get cold fishing the Baby Craw when you're naked? (Not to mention a little scary) that there's funny stuff!! ;D ;D

hey francho.... i understand....my mistake. i have learned a lot from guys like you... i just was "fishin" for more. but i do understand if you've got competitors prowling for your secrets...

spinnerbait. in bluegill plastic worms. 7" powerbait. camo buzzbait. cavitron. white

IMHO i think line visability is overrated. it's so easy to argue that "the more invisable a line is the better"...duh. but does it REALLY make a difference. how do we REALLY know what that fish is "thinking". seems to me that most bites are STRIKES....which translates to reaction bites. which means to me that line visability is a non-factor. do they "study" a bait long enough to even notice the line....and if they do "see" it...does that really influence them to not bite? aren't they focusing on the bait? how do they know its not just a strand of weed a small stick or anything else that is close to the bait they are about to inhale. and just how visable is any line in 95% of the water we fish? gin clear....of course the case could be made. so....go with whatever line you have confidence in. just like you are throwing whatever bait you have confidence in at the time.

hard to beat a lake fork live magic shad... great action and versatile.

a had the same experience with Sensation....seemed brittle and broke easily..

i use 20lb Power Pro on one of my set ups and have had no problems.

i can't speak for the Supreme....but i do have 2 of the 6730 Presidents and really like them....no problems at all. i use the 6lb yo-zuri ultra soft on both...

from their web site it looks like its the same as the mean green....just clear... i'm hoping i find someone who has used this.. any one??

any opinion on this line? i see it's on sale at TW 50% off...$7.99 for 1000 yd. thanks...

what have you had the most luck with? i have primarily used trick worms, zoom finesse worms and yamamoto kut-tail.. interested to see what else i may try.. thanks..

anyone had any luck with this? or is there a better wake bait in the same $5-6 price range? thanks for any input...

Here is an example I hope everyone can understand. Let's say there is a Rapala DT crankbait listed for sale at $.99 to start and the shipping is listed at $2.99. I figure the bait in a store, with tax, would sell for $7.50 - $8.50, plus my time to go back and forth buying it. I will add a note if I put it in my "watch list" to not bid more than what I would be willing to pay, including the shipping. In this case I would probably not bid more than $3.51, which when added to the shipping, would bring the total cost of the bait to $6.50. I feel that would be a fair price for this particular bait. It is for everyone to decide what total price they are willing to pay, no matter what the shipping cost is. A seller can put whatever he wants to for shipping. If you feel they are charging too much, either don't bid at all or don't bid more than the total cost you are willing to pay which would be your bid + the shipping cost. Pretty simple to figure out and avoid if you don't agree with the shipping cost. I usually avoid sellers that charge high shipping costs but sometimes the total cost for the item is the "STEAL" I never bid on an item without factoring in the shipping. If you do, and you think the shipping was too much, it's your own fault and you should look in the mirror for the person to blame. X2 exactly how i figure it... very simple...

primarily will be using it for 3/8oz spinnerbaits... thats why i thought the MH would be a good choice?? :-/ i'm leanin' on getting the extreme...for $59..

guessin' ill strike the blade.. should i just pony up to the $100 range and get the BPS Extreme... i need a MH 7' 2pc

they are on sale now for $59.. spinning rod is what i need. what is your opinion of this rod.. thanks...

that miracle cloth looks/sounds pretty impressive... so much so that i just bought one... lol!!
