buzzed bait

Anybody know what size split rings I need for a killer instinct 9" glide swimbait and weasel (pictured in the post linked below). Also, where could I get the size split ring needed? Lastly, hook size suggestions? http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/130216-delete-please/

Any of you guys ever fish Lake Blackshear in/near Cordele, GA? I'm thinking about making a trip down this upcoming weekend. Would like to find some warmer water/weather for fishing and camping. Any tips/info on campsites/boat ramps would be greatly appreciated! I'll be fishing from the kayak so the less paddling the better! Thanks!

very cool!

nice! now i'm ready to snag one on the bladed bait i got from you!

All of the above and especially this…. and I know you said customer service doesn't SELL you…. BUT it should. His quality is off the charts and I received a "custom" emailed order in a very short period of time. 100% satisfied

man, i wish i had a gander mtn nearby….. when i lived in Charlotte i had one about 15 minutes from home, but here in Atlanta they are unheard of. Gander Mtn, if you're listening…… COME TO ATL

If you can get to this point, you may be able to "curb" the problems but i don't know about eliminating them…. i recently got to a point that i realized i hadn't fished a good 50% of what i owned and that made me realize i had a problem…. i thinned out a lot of my stuff here on the flea market and now have an arsenal of tackle that will LIKELY be used….

i like mine…. i'm actually thinking about buying 1 or 2 more to store jigs in because i can see the full head/skirt when they're in this box… will agree though that a couple of my smallest spinnerbaits do not hold in there well….

a lot of variables to the question, but i'd say since i usually hit the water before the sun is up it's probably a buzzbait and/or popper

i just received a 7'6" MH Okuma Guide Select… fish from a kayak so that smaller handle/rod makes a difference for me. haven't thrown the rod yet, BUT made well and feels incredibly light and balanced more so that i imagined…. after a long time looking and reading around the guide select has the best overall reviews of swim bait rods on the market

veritas and lews would be a nice combo if you can put that extra $20 into the rod

crankbaits?

I don't listen to music while fishing but not for the reasons already listed.... if i were to listen while fishing it would be on my iPhone. That same iPhone is my A. emergency tool should i need to call someone B. camera for my monster pigs i'm going to catch that day C. my weather source that said, my battery dies too quickly while listening to music so it just doesn't work for me. now if none of that were of any concern i'd be listening to anything and everything that i could find. Wu Tang, Garth Brooks, 311, Bob Marley, Hendrix, Tool, 2Pac, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Nas, Eric Church, the Roots, Stanton Warriors, Jason Aldean, Incubus, Daft Punk, the Black Keys .... i could go on and on and on....... people like me with no music loyalty have got to LOVE pandora and other music streaming outlets like it......

i like the red label, A LOT. I also have 20lb cxx on my swimbait set up and have to admit the coil is enough to make me want to put the rod down sometimes.... for pitching i'd go with 20lb red label and call it a day.

4lb10oz nice fish either way!

WOW nice fish!! A little rain never hurt anybody!

...... the only reason i want a swimming pool ......

when the pads are there, i'd be frogging every chance i got…. have you tried a spinnerbait? i don't have a ton of luck with them, but that may get them going right now...

some people drive mazda's, others drive maserati's. obviously both will get you where you need to go, one just looks cooler than the other….

super simple set up for me…. 7' St Croix Mojo Frog n slop rod, quantum code 7:1 and 50lb power pro it hasn't failed me yet….

my brother has the EXACT same set up…. i have a kayak as well, but truly enjoy fishing out of this thing with him…. also completely agree on running the bow mount. you have no idea what a difference that will make it your overall experience. you're gonna like it!

i can take up to 7 rods in the kayak. 5 usually get the job done for me. if i'm hitting the river it's only 2, maybe a 3rd if there's a chance of catching some trout

I haven't had enough luck out there to really offer any tips that would be helpful......

shimano compre jig/worm rod, revo s, 50lb power pro, green/yellow terminator jig, rage crawler (this was before my siebert jig order)

i've previously had a speed spool and the skeet reese victory reel. I have some abu's, quantum, shimano BUT the tatula is by far my favorite of the reels. the casting distance is better and the reel is silky smooth, feels like zero resistance as you're reeling. HIGHLY recommend and for the price on thebay you can't go wrong
