thanks homeys

stick with the improved clinch, and remember to pull the tag end tight first before you pull the hook tight. some recently acquired knowledge that helped me

i prefer a bigger hook for the front treble. i replace my most productive cranks hooks with black chrome stingers i agree the red doesn't help or hinder

Big Tom, you owe me a new monitor ;D And so yeah, the process of elimination begins. It had its chance. Gonna move to the next highest recommended copoly

I bought two spools and I don't see why so many folks suggest this crap. My line has snapped so many times in the past month on BIG fish. At the knot, in the middle and everywhere else. Been using the 12 lb, and I am very particular about setting my drag a little looser after i set the hook so it's not a drag issue. I'd also like to think i'm pretty good at steering a fish in, so it's not that i'm fightin em too hard I even re-tie after catching the ones i do catch (1-3 pounds) But the 5, 6, and 7's are breaking off. gonna have to go back to my Trilene Maxx or some 50 lb braid. This is the only advice I've ever gotten from this site that didn't live up to my expectations, but don't worry, i still love you guys i could be doing something that i don't realize though. any feedback?

copy that. goes back to size or numbers. probably catch more throwing something like Catt suggested, but casting past the boiling and dragging a white senko or fluke could get those occasional freeloader fat couch potatoes waitin on the bottom under the frenzy

Paul Elias for deep structure fishing

i love how these things hover around my feet and fan them when i'm fishing in the hot sun ;D

wow sounds like a money spot! i would fish shallow to deep in that spot in the morning since the water has had all night to cool off (assuming it's hot there), they could be shallow feeding. shouldn't take long too see if they're biting in the shallows before you moved a little deeper. at least you've got it narrowed down to that area. good luck

thats so dang bad a$ s

Zoom Plastics......any good? does Rose Kennedy wear a black dress?

what made you fish without one? could be the less intimidating profile that sells to a finicky, summer bass

If all politicians fished instead of spoke publicly, we would be at peace with the world. will rogers "Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But teach a man how to fish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years" Charles Haas

it's called a passion! i got it too, and it ain't goin nowhere. why it's bass fishing, i'll never know.

What do you call a deer with no eyes? no idear what do you call a deer with no eyes or legs? still, no idear what do you call a deer without balls? still no *#%=ing idear.

it looks effortless cause he's fishing his lake.

well i think the way i retrieve it will give it some contrast

i would like some elaboration on this

dude, 6 and 7 pound fish are large :-? i need to fish in texas!

i think you mean Berkley Trilene Big Game in green color and confusing it with McCoys mean green

you're right, rep called me back and said it's now just the natural shad. but the threadfin in my neck of the woods has a blue back, silver bottom half and a dark colored tail and fins. spros natural shad is almost opposite of that. and the bait John Crews was holding up doesn't look likethe natural shad. tru tungsten put this bait out but is also not available anymore, i don't think. it's the last one under "Tru-Tungsten Swimbait Samples". http://tackletog.com/blog/2009/05/
