buzzed bait

fishoflauge.....

X whatever for the lighting rod..... for the money and that $ range, they're hard to beat.

THIS IS A GREAT POST....... Great info, especially about the boat traffic......

seriously saw one out on sunday in georgia, only one i've ever seen. I stopped fishing for 30 minutes and watched in awe..... i told my whole family about the experience that day. Say the thing and it's HUGE nest, then it flew down and snagged what appeared to be a rat and then proceeded to shred that rat to pieces and eat it. Meanwhile a hawk and 5 crows are staring at it waiting for crumbs. When the eagle was finished, it jumped down into about a foot of water and spent a solid 5 minutes giving itself a bath..... it was pretty awesome.... on a slightly different note, I almost ALWAYS see a beaver.... no matter what lake, what time of day I seem to call them up! also watched 6 deer swim across about a 100 yard river right as the sun was coming up one morning, that was cool too

My wife doesn't come along, but the one time she did we had a blast. she caught 1 more fish than i did that day and trust me, i've never heard the end of it..... as i come home recently from some skunked winter trips, she's challenged me with the whole "do i need to come back out and show you how to do it"...... honestly though this is like our time apart, she like to catch up with friends, shop, work, have her own time and i get to fish. Now that's a win-win....

those baits look good man!!!

was out at lake varner on sunday, me and everybody else it seemed...... missed a good bite on the jig, pulled back my jig and a piece of my rage trailer.... seemed like not many guys having any luck out there, it was windy as h*ll out there.....

nice fish. glad you found a scale to verify too!

who cares on the weights, nice fish all around!!!

on top of the breakage issues reported, i've heard their customer service is poor at best. I had 2 e21 wild carrot stix casting rods. a 6'6" MH and a a 7'H. I used them lightly, but sold them off because i was always so delicate with them i was scared to fish them right. Especially the 7'H, i wanted to fish jigs with it, but was scared to death of a hard hook set..... i will say this, they feel great and light and they look good.... but for the money i think you can do far better. side note: my friend has an old spinning rod from i think the first generation and it has lasted him a few seasons and he fishes it every outing as his t-rig rod. take that for what it's worth.

i think BlueBasser86 makes some homemade chatterbaits, maybe he'll chime in...

Cool, thanks for sharing. Wish i could see the frame again with the tail turned sideways, that's when i could really see it was a BIG bass.....

bought one saturday, threw it twice on sunday. that was before i got it snagged and broke the hooks off getting it unsnagged. stupid water pump grates aside from that the bait seems nice!

I'd say mostly predictable until 5 or 6 dogs and a 300 pound hog rush into their gator sanctuary.... then it's anybody's guess as to who is coming out on top I'm just glad they don't roam the waters I fish!!

As a kid and teenager I spent many many weeks in Land o Lakes, FL hunting wild hogs. We would hunt them with dogs on this MASSIVE ranch. On more than one occasion, we happened upon a gator. Once I happened to catch a glimpse of a gator pulling a small calf down into a pond, that alone has kept me away from fishing in Florida......

Interesting that it made it on the news!! I'm curious now as to what the story was about? I just thought it was cool that not only the cameras caught it, but i happened to see this big tail of a big bass going down the hatch. Glad JBSoonerfan snagged that photo for some evidence!

Agreed. Either way, I'd only want to catch one of them

It's pounds then ounces as shown in that picture on the site. So 6 - 10 would be 6 pounds 10 ounces

Yeah, it DEFINITELY caught my eye. I was thinking to myself how do bass get SOOO big in parts of South FL where these gators roam around and pick them off? then my next thought was d*mn i would have like to have caught that fish earlier today when i was on the water!

^^ That ^^

HAHA yes you did! I don't have DVR or anything fancy so I couldn't rewind to snap a pic. Thanks! That's awesome!

Was just watching the PGA Honda Classic and the cutaway shot for the commercial break was a Florida gator with the tail of a BIG bass hanging out of it's mouth, then down the hatch! Anybody else catch that? Glad I don't live/fish near gators!! My luck would be me pulling one in the boat as a gator pulls me and the bass in the lake. Those things scare me to death!

snagged a Daiwa Tatula, Storm Arashi swimbait and some Lake Fork Magic Shad Boot Tails it was a good day!

Just scooped a new 6:3 Daiwa Tatula today. Can't wait to give it a shot! d**n BPS classic and their reel trade in…..

man that looks like fun…. cold, but fun!
