  1. What for ? :-?
  2. Why not invest in a few bucks installing a small one you can connect directly to your TM battery to power it up ? :-? No need to scoop out.
  3. BaitMonkey had Tsung Tsu & Macchiaveli as teachers, you ain 't.
  4. Delivery guy arrived at 9:35 AM CT today, brought a tube, inside tube SJR782 & CR724 ........ I don 't remember ordering those :-? :-[.
  5. My man, "weightless plastics" can mean a lot of things and even though the most common way to rig a 5" senko is weightles the bait itself is hardly on the light side, it 's too heavy for the SJR722S, it 's in the limit of the SJR783S, better use a more stout rod, if I were you I would listen to these guys advice. Now if you mean by "weightless plastics" small baits like a 3" senko, or a Smallie Beaver, or an unweighted Trickworm then both rods you picked are going to do a fine job, in the funometer the SJR722S beats the SJR783S.
  6. The BaitMonkey usually does the buying, I just pay the bill, he 's a sucker for pretty colored baits, me being a tackle junkie I just gotta get a big bunch of baits in the colors he chooses. Simple process. Which is the best color for swimbaits ? :-? .... now that 's a tough one :-/, ok now let 's see ..... in my neck of the woods bass have never seen a rainbow trout and rainbow trout patterned baits work well, there ain 't no shad either and those work too, guess what ? there ain 't no oikawa nor peacock bass either and those work too. Yup, there is a simple breakdown, right now I feel like fishing with a red shad worm or parrot crankbait, twenty minutes later I 'm bored and I change to let 's say chartreuse worm or a hot mustard crankbait Well it does change with the time of the day for the reasons I explained above, it was no rocket science, it was my mood. Color is one of the things that has a place in my list when choosing a bait but there are a lot of more important things to me to choose before choosing color.
  7. It 's a lot more embarrasing being at the ER room with a hook attached to your fingers.
  8. Don 't know who you are talking about ..... and it ain 't pink, the correct color denomination and finish is pastel mattè red.
  9. Yeah and your GMC vehicle is assembled right here 20 miles from León where I live .... in Silao, Guanajuato Mexico.
  10. The dope in between the surroundings ? :-?
  11. At that price I would jump all over it without thinking.
  12. Real Hud:
  13. Steve, in all of those techniques the speed of the retrieve is given by you with the rod, not with the reel: X ammount of hops or twitches per second not how many turns of the crank per second.
  14. No way, it has a priceless sentimental value, the buddy I got it from was one of my closest friends.
  15. If you are going to flip, pitch, worm or jig ( any technique that creates slack line ) why would you choose the slowest version if in order to maintain the contact with the bait you gotta reel in the slack line as fast as you can ?
  16. You mean Color C Lector endorsed by Mr "Gimme Big Check and I 'll speak wonders about it ". I have an older unit I inherited from a friend of mine who passed away a few years ago who was a sucker for fishing gadgets. It didn 't make any difference back then and it won 't make a difference now, heck I even got Color C Lector "approved" lures from back then. Now a side imaging 3D depthfinder it 's completely different story.
  17. Get the most pounds of thrust you can afford.
  18. Nope, Fat Raps are proven fish catchers and that 's about it.
  19. What to do when bored ? Easy, go fishing or go shopping on-line for tackle, it 's not quite like going fishing but it does take away the itch.
  20. Females can be sexed, males can be sexed too, females have three openings in the genital papilae, males have two. It 's done by dyeing the anus with methilene blue and rinsing away the dye after a few seconds to show the openings. Not easy, takes a lot of practice and the help during the process of learning on how to do it of someone with experience. I used to be pretty good at it when I worked at SEPESCA but still I wasn 't 100% accurate on the first run.
  21. Like a Daiwa Pixy/ Alphas Itö and a GLoomis CR721/722 rod or a Shimano Chronarch 50 Mg/ Daiwa Sol on the same rod.
  22. Bring those nicely painted worm weights to my neck of the woods, after a couple of casts rocks will have chipped off the paint and feesh don 't seem to bother if it 's painted or not.
  23. Just look at it this way, you lost a jig, the most a jig has survived in my tackleboxes is a couple of outings, normally on a trip I loose two or three jigs ( sometimes even more ), some only see the water once before they take permanent residence in a pile of rocks, a fence, a stone wall or a submerged tree limb ..... but if you ain 't casting them where they can hang up you ain 't casting them where the fish are. Reason when it comes to certain baits like jigs I 'm as cheap as I can get.
