I personally, think it may be the hooks? Theres nothing wrong with you rod or reel?

Ive been collecting Bagley FAT CATS for about 10 years. Any ive gotten have come from yard sales,flea markets,and auctions. I wont buy them off fleabay! I have alot in the original packing..

I had the same situation. We were at Cabelas and i showed her a ZEBCO OMEGA PRO Z03. Comes with extra spool,anti-reverse,and 2 hands. I took the real and put it on a rod the same length she has. She was sold,and we took it home along with a bunch of crankbaits she picked out. She likes the reel so much,she wants another. I fished with it for awhile and was quite impressed. she caught several 4pounders and a 6. Reel handle them no problem. I did switch out the line though...........

Id take him to walmart and let him pick out one under 40.00? 6FT . maybe an ugly stick,lighting rod,or them cool looking shock rods.It would be a great father and son outing...........

Thanks to all who replied. I personally never thought the color really mattered to fish. I just have about 2 dozen cranks that could stand to use new hooks. I found 11 packs of the KVD TRIPLE GRIPS EXTRA SHORT,on sale for 5.88. Ive used them before and man theyll keep fish hooked. Just didnt know on red. Thanks again guys,good fishin.......................

Theses postings are some really great learning tools. Ive always wanted to try airbrushing. I know theres alot more to learn,but ive learn alot just from this post.

WORDS TO LIVE BY RIGHT THERE !!

As said in post 4. I ran the heck out of them also this spring and a heavy rain.

Can anyone tell me about red hooks,especially on cranks? What are the benefits if any? I have some cranks that need new hooks. Thanks everyone.........

All my spinning reels are Shimano 1500s and 2500s.

2 colors in 6inch for me. BLACK and MOCASSIN BROWN. I currently have about 50 new packs of each,i bought at 1.00 a bag per 15 each. Because they werent gonna sell 6inch anymore. So i took all they had in stock.........

Didnt know part of the tube was solid? Headed to megastrike or TW now

Nice shooting there! But where did you get the 14inch styrofoam bowl? JUST KIDDING YA! I cant wait till the first either.Good luck!

Sounds like a good plan.Let us know how the tube and shakey head worked out.............

Bobby-Any issues with hook not getting a complete pass through? Also youve got some excellent products!!

Both PowerPro and 832 are great lines. And 8lb green mono is just as visilble as braid.......................

Just to bad it didnt last through labor day?

Personally i dont use them.I dont see why anyone needs to throw five lures at once.Never have had to resort to that kind of so called fishing my self......................

If you can use schedule 40. It will probably cost more to ship because of lenght and weight, but if the rods are expensive,they will arrive just fine. Just hope the shipping cost dont eat you up.

I personally think that either brand mentioned will work well for you. As WRB stated above, a 6;3.1 reel will pretty much take care of anything you want to throw. As far as loosing fish,a reel has nothing to do with that.If your jig setup is working for you,leave it be. Try your vendetta as topwater with 6;3.1. I believe youll be fine,but use quality line. Just my low post opinion,hope it works out well......................

I recently aquired 8 packs of the 4inch kietech swing impact baits. These are not the FAT model. My questions are as follows; 1. what is the best hook size when texas rigging? 2.what other ways do you rig this bait? 3.what type of line do you recommend for this bait. These are some really nice baits.Just looking for info on how to maximize its potential. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks everyone-KDW96..........................

I bought one at a pawn shop for 5 dollars. The spool would not turn. Took it home cleaned it found about 6inches of 4lb line had got between spool and frame. Works like a new one now,hasnt gave me any trouble at all since. I really like how close it sits down on the rod seat also.
