After the ranger rt188, tracker had to update their lineup. I'm in the market and the rt178 and 188 blew tracker out of water.

Lol press release

Nice! I'd like to cash in just one week. 3 grand for a win would go far for my fishing tackle.

Yeah maybe, saw that other thread after posting this one. I just never had it happen before.

I'm in 90%. Last year was in 98% half of year then collapsed. Zaldain had crazy bonus points and Powroznik salvaged a lot of points. Had Lindtner and Bhite made at least top 50 (25 was expected of these two) I would be sitting pretty.

I've noticed the last couple trips that randomly when bow and arrowing crankbaits free from snags, the spool will disengage for a second and give me a backlash. The handle will then feel looser or less connected to the gears. Any ideas?

They do add dates to reviews. Just not old reviews

I used a rage blade with a moderate fast action rod with sunline reaction fc tonight. Caught two hogs, one being a personal best. Both were hooked SOLID in roof of mouth after engulfing bait. Using my xfast 13 *** with braid last year had me hooking fish in lips and skin. I'm a believer in slower actions now, for sure!

I have ivory halo. Has flash but also enough pearl to use in sun or clouds.

What do you deem significant? Weight transfer system, unique sound, great colors, and a ball on front that sprays water.

Zaldain is killing it for me. Powroznik is set to make cut and he's always capable of a large bag. BHite, Stephen Browning and Lintner are also capable of huge bags to make cut. I don't anticipate browning making it though despite 2 top 10 finishes at the delta.

It's major league fishing. It's all about numbers.

He was ripping his crank out of grass. I have my drag pretty loose too on cranks, drags are more consistent at lower pressures but won't let the fish peel off like a tuna.

Baby bass and trop perch here. Baby bass doesn't look like much but I'm sure it will in person. That's one thing I've learned about the john series. Should be a great color for clear lakes and shallow timber.

On the market now. Just ordered two!

Rootbeer

They are all good. Road kill is my new favorite

Buy 2 or 3 oz weight with eye. Buy a cheap heavy duty snap with no sharp edges. Attach snap and weight then attach to line. Will knock your lure loose and only costs a dollar per knocker.

Not often. Time changing is time I'm not fishing. I usually have 4 rods at least with techniques that cover various scenarios. If one isn't working I pick up another rod. At worst I change colors.

I Like mustad a lot. Very stout and a large bend keeps the bass pinned. Trokar nasty flipping hook is great too. More compact than mustad and noticeably sharper and has a tight bend in the hook that keeps em pinned. Haven't hooked any bass over 2 pounds so it's durability is a question.

A. Zaldain: consistent angler who is due a win. Knows the delta and is low ownership. B. Powroznik: Won two events last year and has low ownership. Also has a lot of tidal experience. C. Hite in bucket c? Score. Take the points as any deal you get likely wont bring in enough points to separate from what Hite will do D. Browning. Experience and high finishes on delta. E. Lindtner: Can't get all low ownership picks. Need to pick a safe angler or two.

Buy mustad denny brauer flipping hook and not worry about it. Trokar makes a great hook too but more expensive

Spro johns hands down

These threads usually pop up after trout stockings. Do the math

Can't wait. Just not sure where they fit in my lineup with the MD series. Maybe I can shorten the bill and have it run shallower
