  1. I only use Xcalibur lipless cranks, and only buy them when they are on sale. The XR50s and XRK50s are nice, but IMO Red Eye Shad are superior fish catchers. xcalibur's oxbow color is a winner though. Wish SK would make a Red Eye in that.
  2. That may have been me that told u to lube the inside of the tension knob lol.
  3. In the winter I've actually forgone the use of jerkbaits altogether. Now I will use a shallow running crank with a suspend dot on it. I mainly do this because I suck at working a jerk bait lol. Works great though.
  4. This is what I thought too out here on Douglas Lake, but I couldn't buy a bite on a chatterbait. Toss a spinnerbait especially at night and you'll hook up. That's my goal this year. To bag my first chatterbait fish.
  5. I use 10# Seauguar Red label for cranks and jigs. I fish open water though. Very little cover.
  6. Shimanos VBS on my Chronarchs are pretty much set it and forget it. Super easy to use IMO. Love those reels.
  7. The veritas reel seat collar will gouge your reel foot too. Make sure you put a strip of electrical tape over the foot.
  8. I use a 7' MH-moderate crucial. It is rated to 1oz. Great rod. I've yet to lose a fish and that's with the stock hooks on SK lures that everyone seems to hate. I use 6XDs and 1/2oz lipless cranks with 0 issues. I love my cranking rod.
  9. Try those Rage Tail shad. Those things are crazy good. I was amazed at all the commotion that little piece of plastic creates. Great top water bait.
  10. This. Long lining is what we do here on Douglas in the summer. You can also use a Boo Rig to help get your cranks down deeper or even a big split shot about a foot up your line from the lure.
  11. I slow roll my spinnerbait then kill them for a second and repeat. Caught my pb small mouth on a chartreuse and white spinnerbait using that method.
  12. Buy a Revo S and pair it with an Abu Veritas. Great combo that won't break the bank and it performs great.
  13. I'll start with top water if the water is smooth, but if there's a little chop I go spinnerbait or lipless first.
  14. Some times these boards are slow. Don't get discouraged. Tons of folks on here willing to help if they have time.
  15. Costas have some cheesy looking frames IMO. They may not be cheap but they sure look cheap.
  16. Nab a dry fit shirt from wally world. Those things are awesome.
  17. Forgot. The right answer is always forum sponsor products lol.
  18. Longest I've ever fished was around 14 hours. When we got off the boat, it felt like I still out on the water for a few hours afterwards. Now my average is around 5-7 hours, though with work being a PITA I haven't been in weeks. Killing me.
  19. I like Hog Tonic. Power Team Lures has a winner with that stuff.
  20. I wanted to try xpx fluorocarbon but its so expensive compares to red label.
  21. Chartreuse black back Sexy Shad Chartreuse Sexy shad Blue Gill/Neon Blue gill Powder Blue chartreuse Citrus Shad Gizzard Shad
  22. You mean to tell me it's a holiday and no one was on the internet that could answer your question because they were cooking out and spending time enjoying life? Shame on us...
  23. I have two pair of Oakleys that are polarized, and love them. Well worth the money. My Flak Jackets I use when it's hot out since they are a smaller frame, and use my Batwolf glasses when it's cooler or windy since they shield more of my face and eyes.
  24. Zoom and RT baits aren't very durable at all. I always seem to lose tails off Zooms u tail worms and the claws off the rage craws.
