  1. Most of the time I will carry a BPS 360 tackle bag, and three rods.
  2. No problems at all with my three CT100H reels. I've had one for six years, and the other two are three years old.
  3. I had to think about this one. The size of the bait may discourage dinks from biting it, but on the flip side of this, in the pressured water where I fish, a bass large enough to eat this jig will be able to recognize it as being a bait.
  4. The Walmart spinnerbaits and sometime BPS has their spinnerbaits on sale.
  5. The first thing I look at is how hard it is blowing or when it is expected to start blowing hard. That will tell me which baits I can or can't cast, and which presentations I can use. Lastly, it will tell me if I'm launching a boat or walking the bank.
  6. I've switched over to a 1/4 ounce lipless or a swim jig since the shallow running crankbaits have become hard to find.
  7. Sorry for your family's loss.
  8. Good video, @Glenn. You made some good points.
  9. I sharpen the treble hooks on moving baits and worm hooks before I head out on a trip. I check the treble hooks closely. If one is broken or has been filed down more than the others then I swap out the hooks.
  10. Welcome to the forums.
  11. If the anglers are going through the toll station that could be another 1/2 hour depending on how backed up it is, and the number of open toll booths.
  12. Around here fishing with no hooks is called letting the fish learn the bait.
  13. Sound almost like some of my fishing trips. At the end of the day, you're glad to be back safe on dry land.
  14. Sometimes, if you are casting around brush, a small limber tree branch will get caught between the lip and the line tie, It sort of feels like a fish pulling back on the bait until you clear the branch and the crankbait comes free.
  15. Every spinning reel I have ever owned or used has had an a/r switch. The only time I have used it was when I accidentally flipped it without knowing it. I'm actually looking forward to trying a reel without a switch.
  16. My dad and my grandpa each had 2 Zebco 33s. One of my dad's reels went into the drink, and the other one wore out after about 35 years. One of my grandpa's reels eventually broke, but I have his last one down in a drawer. It was my daughter's first reel.
  17. Just sick.
  18. Welcome to the forums.
  19. I fish red and orange when the water is murky also. It doesn't matter what time of year.
  20. Get better and do what the doctors and physical therapists tell you.
  21. First off Congrats!! I wouldn't leave that outside. You're liable to come out one day and find it missing and the contents dumped out on the ground.
  22. A Palomar knot or a Uni knot for me. Palomar for jigs and hooks and the Uni knot for spinnerbaits, and moving baits.
  23. Rooster tail, small marabou jig, or a live worm under a floater.
  24. This time of year I'm happy if there is no ice and it's warm enough to wet a line.
