I fish mainly in the north, (Michigan, Ohio, Wis, etc.) I'm not big into swim baits so for those of you who fish up in the northern states which swim baits do you like to use for smallies and for largemouth? Please include size and favorite color. The bait monkey has been whispering in my eye to buy some swim baits!

One lure that I've never caught a bass on is a Pop-R. I've fished them on and off for many years. Nothing! I've caught fish on Tiny Torpedos, Zara Spooks, Baby Zara Spooks, Hulu Poppers, etc, etc. But the Pop-R......Nothing! Weird!

I hope you don't work for GM!

This will make an awesome combo for you. Fenwick HMX Casting rod - 89.99 http://www.***.com/Fenwick_HMX_Casting_Rods/descpage-HMXC.html Lew's Speed Spool SS1 - 89.99 (has a $20 rebate on it until July 31) http://www.***.com/Lews_Speed_Spool_SS1_Casting_Reel/descpage-LSP.html Both the rod and reel are quality and will last you for a long time.

Oh ****! Here come the grammar police!!

Those look great. Love that first one and the coleslaw one!

I stocked up on some Senkos last week. Sign up for their frequent shopper card and they send you a $10 off coupon too!

Any love for the Ugly Stick on this forum? It seems like a good starter rod for a young teen just getting into bass fishing. Or is there something better out there?

Lightning Rod Shock.....$39 at WallyWorld!

If you haven't fished the reel why bother making a comment?

3/8 oz. T1 Terminator Spinner bait, chart/blue/wht with double willow blades or the Zoom Super fluke in white ice or pearl. I've probably fished both equally as much this year.

LOL....are you serious? It's just fishing dude! Lighten up!

So they call it a rage rig, what's the big deal??

Excellent day!

An ultralight rod would not be my first choice for throwing TR'd plastics. The very lightest I'd suggest going is medium. Medium/heavy would be better. It's going to be tough to get a good hook set with a UL rod.

I have Gamakatsu, Owner, Mustad, VMC and even some old Tru-Turns. The Gama's are my favorite!

You're not fooling anyone! You're the infamous Peanut Butter Russell!

SUP??

The Palomar and Double Palomar knots are your friends!

I'd go to Dick's and stock up on Senkos while they're on sale.

Those look great.

Can't beat the Lew's Speed Spool. All of my baitcasters are Speed Spools or Shimano Citicas.

Shimano Citica FTW!

To my knowledge, cattle aren't normally sprayed with pesticides!

Both look pretty nice.
