    A couple of years ago I started casting a Zara puppy on the 7'0" mh/f casting rod. There was definitely a learning curve to it.

    St. Croix Premier. I have 2 casting and 1 spinning.

    I use 6.3:1 for everything now. I use to use faster reels, but it didn't make much sense to me to buy a faster reel when I'm barely moving the bait across the bottom.

    Persimmons. Walnuts too if I can find some the squirrels haven't found first.

    Yesterday I found this Berkley Choppo stuck in the eel grass off of the end of a point.

    It's been a while since I posted the lineup. This year it includes: 3 Daiwa baitcasters 3 President spinning reels 1 Shimano SLX

    I tie directly to the bait. I also just retrieve the spinner fast enough to make the blade spin.

    If the bait isn't too beat up I will put it back in the package and use it again. If it is too damaged to use as a bait, it will become a trailer. If there is no hope left for it, then I will toss it in the trash when I get home.

    None of my neighbors fish.

    I try not to drive more than 1-1/2 hrs one way to a spot. A 2 hr drive one way is the longest I will go by myself. The problem around here is that a 1-1/2 hr drive can turn into a 3 hour drive with an accident on the highway.

    The Egg by BPS. I was skeptical with this being a house brand, but after the first season I went out and bought some more of them. You'll probably need to replace the hooks before use.

    With a mh/f rod I use 15# Big Game.

    If the bass are biting they will let me know real quick what they want.
  14. Bankbeater
    Hopefully I will be retired by then.

    For bass fishing I don't like anything lighter than a ml/f rod with 6# line. You never know when a flathead cat will show up.

    Zoom fluke

    Bankbeater replied to Ski's topic in Fishing Tackle

    Flukes around vegetation, and hard jerkbaits with treble hooks in open water.
  17. Bankbeater
    Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, lipless crankbaits, chatterbaits, and swim jigs. Kind of like fishing in the spring.

    If I'm remembering right we used to have around 4 small tackle shops in my area. Now there is just one. We still have a lot of stores that sell bait and terminal tackle, but they are not what I would call a tackle shop.

    That guy was lucky.
  20. Bankbeater
    Big Game. Either 10# or 15# depending on the conditions.
  21. Bankbeater
    I've collected a lot of stuff over the years. When I was younger I collected baseball cards, and Hot Wheels. Now I collect pocket knives.
  22. Bankbeater
    I fish the same baits that I do the rest of the year, but the ranking will change depending on the time of year and conditions. 1. Crankbaits 2. Spinnerbaits 3. Jigs 4. Texas Rigs 5. Topwater Baits
  23. Bankbeater
    I will make a couple of more casts into the area where I caught the bass just to see if there is a school in there or if the one I caught was by itself.
  24. Bankbeater
    I like the "A Day on the Lake" series in Bassmaster, but that's about it.
  25. Bankbeater
    Back in July when the water got warm here the bass buried themselves in the vegetation, and wouldn't come out. I was having to work a plastic worm or a senko along the weed edge to get bites.
