  1. 1.Frog 2.Pittboss punching vegetation 3. Spro rat size 50.
  2. Snag proof Bobby's perfect frog.
  3. Unless I'm casting to a very specific target, I don't mind the big splashes. If I'm targeting a specific spot I usually cast past it anyway. I've been hit the moment a 2 oz bait hit the water without doing a subtle landing.
  4. I probably keep things too simple, but it's easier for me to keep everything to a minimum. I put more emphasis on the type of lure than I do color. I generally only buy one color (sometimes 2) of each specific lure. All my craws, senkos, tubes and trds are GP, all flukes are white, all speed worms and frogs are black, etc. My jigs and chatterbaits are bluegill color or white. Same applies for hard baits, but I don't use them as often.
  5. 1.Half fingers 2. I rarely use lures with treble hooks. 3. I put them on once I'm in the boat (often before sunrise) and never take them off. I think wearing the gloves are just as comfortable as not, and the days you catch a bunch of big ones it eliminates 'bass palm'.
  6. In the summer I primarily throw 4 baits for an entire day. Frog, punch rig, 1/2 oz chatterbait with razor shad trailer, and a 6 to 7" senko. The frog is always black, and everything else is always green pumpkin.
  7. Bobby's perfect hollow body frog. Great hookup ratio and long lasting.
  8. Had a great day in Indiana. Frog, 1oz punch, and chatterbait caught about 15 fish over 3 pounds. Found a spot the size of a kitchen table that held 8 in the 4 to 5.3 pound range and bit on almost every cast with the chatterbait.
  9. My PB was on a spinnerbait which I was yo-yoing around some coontail. I also like to reel it steadily ticking the tops of weeds, or bounce it off timber. I'll cast it very shallow on the wind blown shoreline, too.
  10. I own two of the 735s, and I'm from northern Indiana. As CroakHunter said, they are pretty versatile. I mainly use them for frogs and a 3/4oz to 1oz punching. Honestly the 735 is probably in my hands for 80 percent of my fishing from May to October unless I'm going for smallmouth.
  11. There's a bass master open going on there now. Might find some good info from their blog. Here's the current leaderboard https://m.bassmaster.com/leaderboard/tournaments/2019-bass-pro-shops-eastern-open-lake-chickamauga
  12. My favorite is snag proof Bobby's perfect frog. It's the only one I buy now, and I've tried most of the other popular frogs.
  13. I'd probably use a jerkbait, tube, ned rig, and bladebait.
  14. Hi all, I recently bought a Garmin striker plus 7sv, and I'd like to mount the screen on my kayak's slide track system. I'm struggling to find the best solution and was hoping for some advice. I aIready bought a switch blade for the transducer Thanks!
  15. $1300 extra seems like a good amount of spending money so I'd get the boat as long as the interest rate wasn't bad. Some things I'd make sure I have in place before hand is an emergency fund and retirement savings. I'd recommend having a savings account equal to about 6 months worth of your expenses. Most likely won't need it, but tough situations are always made worse without preparation. Then I'd suggest saving into a retirement account. If your employer matches up to a certain percent, that would be the minimum I'd do, otherwise 10 percent. Compound interest works best when saving at a young age.
