buzzed bait

i have that one and love it…. often times i have a lot of people ask me about it and they like it…. a couple of my friends have some stohlquist PFDs that are very nice although i think they may be more expensive….

i'd cast in the trees, tell him he lied and that he now owed me 3 legit wishes…..

for me the main thing to take away is without spectators these guys are out of a job…. that said, you need to strike a clean balance between them. seems like a marshall/ranger boat to keep spectators at bay wouldn't be too hard to implement/enforce. all the talk about shutting down the lake for an event is so ridiculous i can't even imagine….. the first day you all went to your local lake to put in and a cop or DNR officer said "sorry buddy closed to a "major" event" you would have a mild heart attack…. spectators shouldn't be the topic at all, but rather those with no class trying to come in and fish behind or on top of these guys we all look up to and for the most part respect….

i would doubt that i'm the only guy around GA throwing them now…. sounds like he's got a lot of serious customers!

i think the ghost can be had most anywhere for $99.... i felt one and they feel cheaply constructed, but that's only my 2 cents

you know i'm also picking up from this thread that the guy works his ___ off......

Am I missing something or are a couple of anglers missing on the leaderboard or from the tournament altogether? i have gerald swindle in my fantasy league and tim johnston but can't find either of them on the basstrack leaderboard? and sorry to hijack the thread, but sounds like the KVD non-issue is settled?

i'll throw a question out there..... mine shows the curado g's on sale for $99 limit 2. do you think they will have many of these and do you think it will be limited on the gear ratio selection? i assume you'd have to be there in line for them to open in order to get one of these???

well d*m i thought i was special no he was great, very ready to answer my questions and was so easy to work with. i don't think i intend on buying jigs elsewhere now that i know what good looks like! even the wife who is tackle and fishing illiterate said to me as i pulled them out of the packaging, "oooooh those look nice" maybe one day i'll turn that "fashionista" into a "fishinista" with the help of some "glamorous" siebert jigs

i like the shimano crucial, i have a compre and it just came down to $ but would have bought a crucial if i had the $ then..... more importantly, i think you'll see from the responses that the carrot stix is not on the radar when talking about the better rods....

I would look for other rods. MANY better options for under $200. What specific techniques you looking to use this rod for?

Mike at Siebert Outdoors is first class! I contacted him here on the site after I visited his website, but was absolutely overwhelmed with all my options! I asked him about creating me a little assortment of jigs as I intend on really getting more comfortable with the jigs this year. I wanted a little bit of everything, different hooks, different heads, different skirts, etc. I sent him a little wish list and the price range I was trying to stay in and he was happy to help make it happen! All I had to do was sit back and wait every day for them to show up and yesterday was the day!! I got home to find the finest quality craftsmanship I’ve seen on a jig! The assortment was awesome and the detail on the work is incredible. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the products and the service Mike provided! If anyone else had that overwhelmed feeling when browsing his site I’m certain you could give him a shout and have him help you out. I absolutely cannot wait to get that bluegill swim jig in the water, that thing looks phenomenal!! Thanks Mike!

absolutely love my r2s s-wavers flop for me would be scatter rap, just weak all around for me

jerkbaits and swimbaits for me

it's my favorite search bait to use and often times you may find me a little buzzed.....

very important to know if it's the floater, slow or fast sink. that will help to narrow down the answers you'll get. i have a floater, that thing swims awesome! over grass beds and submerged cover is where i like to throw it myself.

Alright so sounds like you're mostly like me. I suppose I don't have/keep many backups so maybe that explains the pics I see....

now that's an interesting idea!! guess it depends on what it's worth to you!

sweeeeeeeeeet trip! 100+ day in February!!!!

Vurrrrry nice fish!! Have fun at the classic, man i want to go.....

have never done it, but often thought of finding someone that lived in a house on or close to the lake and just asking if i could fish it? most of them say residents or permission of resident or something like that.... personally i would NOT be trying to find the management company or HOA or anything like that because that would likely be a certain no. and i obviously wouldn't go trespassing as that is just a sure fire way to get yourself in trouble with the law.

I am forever seeing guys post pics and sell stuff on the flea market with brand new in box lures. I for one just can't wait to get the thing out of the package (this really goes for anything and not just fishing gear). I usually pull it out of the package almost immediately and then toss the packaging almost as quickly. sure it's bit me before when trying to return something, but i suppose it's just my own personal habit. I'm wondering how many of you are like me or are OCD about keeping things in the package until the last moment you're ready to open it?

nice fish, and like my little thing over here <<< work is interfering with your fishing man! my siebert jig order should be here on thursday. i CANNOT wait.... just in time for the weather to start warming up too, 70 degrees in ATL for the rest of the week. got a couple dredges in there too!

Tommy, i've been out there a few times now. I really like the lake and it's close to my house. if you see the black and gray kayak hollar at me! i may or may not have the mutt with me that you see in my avatar <<<

you'd want to head west in my opinion. lake fontana, lake glenville those are two lakes up in western nc that produce some smallies. I do know that the little tennessee river up in western nc holds some good smallies and is a blast to float/camp/fish
