  1. You are pushing it with 60 bucks. In that situation I'd focus on features and comfort as performance will be similar
  2. Video please
  3. To expand on my comment. ..I've tried most brands on TW (they just got new ones in I'll try) and they either did not stay in place or ripped when coming through cover. I actually threw vike punch stops away. Eagle claw is OK but you need to put 2 on.
  4. 6th sense period. Have tried other brands and they are nowhere remotely close.
  5. Get what catches your eye as long as it's not crazy. But if I had to answer I'd say a translucent bait or firetiger
  6. Looking at a 6'9" citrix spinning rod and wanted to know others experience. Im8 and good price and good style. Lots of positive reviews. I'm looking for a finesse spinning rod for shakey (1/8oz+) and drop shot under 7 foot and under 150.
  7. I'd like to try rapala waking minnow
  8. Cabelas still doesn't have em
  9. Some misinformation in this thread
  10. I have on both accounts. Flik fishing tool runs over 100 on ebay and most tool suggestions are either discontinued or are not angling specific.
  11. If someone paid me 20 bucks for painting a crankbait, I would sell them too! Has nothing to do with creating a "better" lure
  12. Made a nice profit! Going to reinvest it into other gear?
  13. My C. Rod is actually okuma tcs. I'm just worried that the H would be underpowered because the MH fishes like a medium. I do already have it on Amazon wishlist though. I also really like daiwa products and wanted to try to consolidate my gear to Daiwa.
  14. Did you have it on ebay? I think I saw it yesterday
  15. I'm looking for a sub $100 multitool for fishing with needlenose pliers. Gerber no longer makes the flik fisherman, the hook sharpener and braid cutters would have been nice. Anyone have any suggestions?
  16. My dad just got one and I'm curious what cheapish modifications you can do with her. She is practically stock. I know rod lock is very short and only good for paddles and telescoping push poles. Is it easy to remove middle seat too make it easier to step up/down to back deck?
  17. 1. Smack her in the face with a swimjig (not crank or spinnerbait as she will spook) 2. Downsize and put something in front of her but not too close. Weightless trig or shakey head perhaps.
  18. My father just got his first bass boat and it allows me to carry more setups and I'm itching to expand my arsenal. Currently I have 3 baitcasters A. 7'3" xfast H 1.5 oz B. 7' fast MH for up to 1.25 oz C. 7' modfast M for 5/8 oz. I'm thinking a spinning rod is up next. I've had some success with shakey on BC and it is effective with WV bass. I was thinking a 6'10" rod with xfast action for 1/8 oz and up as my smallest shakey is 1/8oz. I like the new daiwa s rods but they have either 6'6" or 7' and rated for 1/4oz. I doubt it would overpower the 1/8 oz but I'm not sure. Also I'm considering another H rod. Daiwa s has a 7'4" H rated for 2 oz (should handle 1.5oz black dog g2 better than my current heavy) and it has a fast action which will help play fish. I've also read where people punch a lot with fast action instead of xfast. Last weekend I was punching and ripped bait out of 4 fish mouth before hook up with xfast rod not sure if it was my technique or the rod. If I go this route my current H would make perfect frog rod. Thoughts and comments are appreciated. Brand/model recommendation (under $150) is also welcome.
  19. I have the shellcracker g2 and I throw it on a 7'3" heavy xfast with 65 pound braid. 1. I can dive it deeper due to thin line diameter. 2. I can rip it out of weeds easier (boom!) 3. Loosen your drag and really play them to the boat....haven't lost one yet. 4. I roll cast nice and easy. Overhead cast is too wippy and plunks the water too loud!
  20. I have a few xcalibur, but I am a huge spro fan and thinking of swapping. I have already traded my xcal crankbaits for spro johns. The hooks alone make the aruku more attractive than most lipless
  21. Smack her on the ass when she gets a bite, that should help.
  22. Anyone know where I can get one like the Japanese model tatula? Would hawgtech anodize it for me?
