I have never used one but IMO, you can't go wrong with a Rat-L-Trap.

I tend to use alot of the Zoom finesse worms.

5 to 5-1/2 range.

I like the Pop-r, Zara Spook, and Jitterbug. All in black if possible.

Its finally starting to warm up where I am, but now I have to work this weekend .

The Mo. Conservation Dept. has put canisters near the parking areas of several of the lakes I fish on. They are specifically for used line.

I love to find weedy flats with a hole that drops 3-4 feet. I just drag the worm across the weeds and let it fall into the hole.

The first thing I would do is go through and take out the crankbaits that I never use. When I did that I went from around 100 crankbaits down to around 30.

Another vote for boat position. There is nothing worse than being in the wind and having the front end of the boat stay pretty much in one spot while the back end of the boat swings around.

We use to do that years ago while cat fishing. I quit it when I started bass fishing. It was just to big of a hassle getting everything out to eat and then putting it all away again.

I don't know about the BPS where you are, but the one by me stopped selling Yo-Zuri Hybrid in the large spools last year. They only carry the line in the filler spools, I think they are 275 yard size. I have never seen the ultra soft line in the store or the catalogue. I can't wait until the Cabela's opens this spring!

Usually a 2- liter of Mt. Dew, and some apples or oranges. If its on the way I'll swing by White Castle and pick up some belly bombers.

SWEET!!!

A very good lure, but I have to agree with what Avid said. I have never had a lure tangle its hooks together as much as this one will.

Chrome w/ blue back, Natural craw, and Chart. Shiner all in the 1/2 ounce size.

Yes, on Rat-L-traps.

Welcome back. Hope your feeling lots better!!

I don't use them, but I do use a trailer hook.

I use snaps all the time with crankbaits and I don't see any change in the way the baits run. Make sure you use a high quality brand or the fish could pull the snap apart.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard.

Baseball. Chunk trailers or craw trailers.

I like the Bass Pro Stik-O's, Zoom Z-nail, and the Wave Tiki Stiks.

My first rig I used for throwing plastics was a baitcaster on a MH 6'6 rod w/ 12 LB line. I could get the tube 20 to 25 feet if I was throwing with the wind. Each time when I tried to muscle it out farther I would get a nasty bird nest in the reel. Now I use spinning reel mounted on M 6'6 rod with a fast tip for all light plastics. Senko type baits and carolina rigs still get the baitcaster.

I pay more attention to the barometric pressure than the moon phases myself.
