Bankbeater

Welcome Aboard!!!!!

Bass fishing is a sport. Collecting tackle is a hobby.

IMHO, this is how I have seen the serious crappie fisherman do it. They will always have several rods set up in rod holders on their boat with them set at various depths. The one thing that gets me though is how they manage not to get tangled. Me, I am more of a hands on kind of guy when it comes to fishing. I think they call that spider rigging????

Love the footloose and it works good as a wakebait also.

If you are fishing out of a boat I would use a heavy jig like 3/4 ounce or more to punch through the weeds to get down to the bottom. If your fishing off of the bank, I would use a lighter weight like a 1/4 ounce or a 1/8 ounce and swim it back across the tops of the weeds.

Abu's service is great. A couple of years ago I broke a split ring on a blackmax 3600 baitcaster. When I called the service dept. they asked me if that was all I needed. When I told them yes, they said they would put it in the mail that afternoon at no charge.

Buzz baits and topwaters. I hardly ever use them.

Welcome aboard!!

For about three years now. It really comes in handy to be able to go back and look at how you fished certain lakes under different conditions.

I use 5:3.1 for everything except buzzbaits and spinners. For those I use 6:3.1.

Don't waste your time on a product that may or may not work. You don't want to get out on the water and find out your new BPS reel is a dud. Buy the Shimano.

I haven't been able to get out alot this year, but last year it was senko/senko knockoff jig w/ trailer rat-l-trap

I voted Bass Pro. I live about 10 minutes from one and I don't like to buy stuff online unless I absolutely cannot find it somewhere else.

I would start with a buzzbait or a spinnerbait. If the bass didn't like fast I would slow it down with a t-rigged worm or a jig.

Its getting thicker here .

Turtles while cat fishing and my left hand between my third and fourth finger while bass fishing.

crankbaits, lipless baits, and jigs.

I fish 75% of the time from the bank. I like to use soft t-rigged plastics that I can pull through the brush without hanging up. Since I can't go to the fish, I like heavy tackle that I can will bring that bass to me. I also will use 1/4 to 1/8 ouce jigs, topwaters, and shallow running crankbaits.

I would rather catch one hawg. If I found $100, I would just feed the baitmonkey.

I have no quirks. I think I am normal. Of course my wife may say otherwise...

I fill up the spool about 1/4 or 1/3 of the way depending on the size of the spool. After the backing is on I'll put some tape around it.

palomar or an improved clinch knot.
