  1. not necessary. you have a very nice reel dont listen to the shimano purist snobs
  2. maybe its spooled too tightly?
  3. +3 for the Bucoo. to me it feels like the 175$+ rods falcon makes, for way less
  4. not sure using braided is the problem. Baitcasting reels provide better lure control and accuracy and are suited for lines testing 10 pounds or heavier. They have a tendency to backlash or snarl when the spool spins faster than line is paying out, especially when casting into the wind. While magnetic braking features on baitcasting reels do help prevent backlashes, the most important control is the spool tension knob (usually next to the handles). To set it for each lure, hold the rod perpendicular to your body, disengage the spool and loosen the tension just until the lure starts to drop, then tighten slightly. To cast, disengage the spool and hold your thumb on the spool. Release thumb pressure on the spool when you want the lure to move forward. It is crucial to learn to control spool revolution speed with your thumb.
  5. no. ray finkle. laces out dan!
  6. what kinda rod and reel do you have? length and action? i assume you've experimented with different brake settings?
  7. i think its funny how they made a commercial saying how there food doesnt' suck anymore. "WE just made it better" :
  8. why hasn't anyone mentioned the string of reviewed plays towards the end there? Then that pass interferance was called but there wasn't contact? and the pass wasn't even catchable?! After reviewing less questionable plays than that one, they don't even review it!something tells me they wouldn't have gotten the first down to get into field goal range without that bad call!
  9. gulp needs to make a paste for plastics similar to the megastrike, but in their own flavor.megastrike really sticks well and stays for multiple casts.
  10. reaction strikes as opposed to getting a good look a slow moving bait may make some difference
  11. give em all a revo S, and set the brakes youreself. most beginner friendly baitcaster on the market. too much?
  12. nope, these are no good, they don't catch fish, in fact theres a recall on all of them, please send them to me and i'll mail them to zoom
  13. so you think a bass will bite a hollow body like the spro in semi open water? i only have luck hoppin it along that scum stuff sittin on top of the water so they cant get such a good look at it.
  14. the new zoom paddle fluke
  15. sorry, havent fished em, but they are a beautiful work of art.......that would get torn up by a bass in my neck of the woods. maybe if it came with more than one extra pair of legs. also looks kinda light and i like to really get my frog out there.
  16. Brokeju i knew you would have something to recommend. what'd u catch your avatar fish with? (lure) isn't your frog rod only 7'3"?
  17. that video just made my heart pound. i actually picked up a pack of the rage craws last night and went ahead and put it on an evo 2 shakey head and i gotta tell you, that thing is seeexy. i filled my bathub last night so i could watch it and man does it look like a ticked off craw in a defensive position. beautiful action.
  18. Uncle Josh Pork Frog Crawdad Brown and Phantom Craw Watermelon Red Flake. unfortunately i didnt get the maxx ones. i have been in the market for trailers that float more than the average trailer, i'll have to jump on that site and pick some up. No! i cant, its not in my budget. (monkey dialect) "oh but you can order just three jars, who knows, you may land Nadine and her sisters with it!!!"...I know you're right bait monkey :'(
  19. i'm only thirty but i've realized old school is the way to go most of the time, except for clothes
  20. i use white swimming jigs with white trailers but when i'm bouncing and twitching a jig around cover i use darker colors that are closer to imitating crawfish
  21. ok yeah i definately see your point as this is how i started out, learning the ropes on basics. but he did say he planned on fishing tournaments this year so it wouldn't hurt to be able to distinguish structure he could throw a dropshot in, or suspended baitfish he he could run a crankbait through to get him a nice kicker in case the bank bite was givin him nothin but dinkys
  22. got you. 50 views. finally, Ghoti saves the day. appreciate it
  23. woah, too soon?
  24. yeah its a good thing it was still deer season, that cougar woulda been busted. waka waka
