  1. Hey guys- i was wondering if you think that fishing leaders(im talking about the metal ones not fluorocarbon) will scare away the fish if im using swimbaits such as hudds the waters around me are by no means clear with a few exceptions.....most lakes have visibility of 2-3 maybe 4 feet. Although i have two lakes with 8-10 foot visibility. I have many small pike and pickerel around where i fish so i want to see if you guys think that by using a leader, it will scare away the bigger bass. However i don't want to lose a 60 dollar swim bait
  2. Thanks, do you guys put it on everything including hardabits?
  3. What kind of mega strike do you use? Original craw or garlic?
  4. If you had to pick one meal as your last, what would it be? It can be anything! Mine would be ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli with cheesecake for dessert!
  5. Never caught a fish in a jig.. Have tried for hours in prime locations with nithing
  6. Hey guys, For you big bait enthusiasts: I know that there are many different types of swim baits such as soft baits, glide baits, wake baits, etc.. And i know that you throw what you have confidence in but could you tell me when it is more ideal to use each one?? For example, when is a glide bait preferred over a wake bait or regular hard swimbait? what cover? time of day? etc.. Thanks!
  7. steady retrieve for me, and trust me when they hit it it's like a freight train you cant miss it
  8. Hey guys! Do huddlestons work in dirty water with visibility of 2-3 feet? i would be using the "68" to get that extra vibration
  9. what line do you recommend for swim baits about 1-4oz? Braid? Mono? I know that backlashes with braid can result in lost baits... what are your thoughts?
  10. Being from michigan also, that has become a frequent occurrence!
  11. My favorite thing about frogs is that when they hit it, they never just suck it under they ahnialate it
  12. Thank you! Its not the length that would be a problem, however i have to transport my rods in a car (sedan) and i just wanted to make sure that since it is one piece, that it will fit. What do you think?
  13. are there any rods you recommend that are shorter than 7'6
  14. Do you guys know of any other weedless soft swimbaits besides huddlestons?
  15. Hey guys, Just wondering if you could recommend a complete huddleston setup (Rod, Reel and gear ratio, Line) for a reasonable price range I will mostly be throwing the 68weedless or just the regular 6 inch and is it possible to use a bbz-1jr with the same setup?? Thanks!
  16. A stick of dynamite... Works especially well for those tough days
  17. Today I was out fishing throwing a 12 inch power bait worm. Caught a 9 inch bass. Next cast with my drop shot rig and a 4 inch worm I caught a 4 pounder.... You never know!
  18. Sweet fish dude! Keep throwing those baits and you will be rewarded with a monster!
  19. Neither one is better, they are different. It would help to know what kind if cover you will be fishing and your target species
  20. There are, but only on one of the islands( I forget wich one) and I think the record is around 8lbs
  21. Thanks, that's what I was thinking, should I start with the square bill after topwater and then go to the jig in the afternoon?
  22. I also just read that the lake is loaded with large rocks, gravel bars and drop offs. This is new fishing to me, I'm used to fishing grass! help!
  23. Hey guys, Heading up to a brand new lake this saturday.....the forecast calls for a high of 87 degrees and mostly sunny, no fronts have moved through the area. I can not find a topo map and the ONLY thing i know about the lake is that it is littered with stumps on the shoreline. I dont know clarity, depth, bottom composition etc... What would you do? I will be on the water from 7am to 8pm!
  24. That's cool, but those snaps would be picking up muck on every cast
  25. Hollow body swimbait 5 inch that matches the forage
