You can literally fish them anyway you want. I do suggest you throw them into thick cover. Also, try to use smaller profile trailers as larger ones can impact skirt flair. I've caught bass with swimjigs by simply reeling them in, reeling them in with quick pops (makes skirt flair), dragging them over thick vegetation like a frog, and hopping them off the bottom like a standard jig. Dare I say it's the most versatile lure available?

I got a new fishing vest for xmas and now I'm wanting some new tackle boxes to go with it. I don't fly fish but use small fly spinners and jerkbaits. What are some new/good tackle boxes out? I have some old copper/tan planos but they aren't very versatile and are heavy.

Well, I'm not keeping the pinnacle finesse. It's bulky, it grinds some, backlashes often, and is flimsy and plastic like. That's why I'm considering changing the setups or buying a new reel for one of the rods.

I can't seem to make payment through alleys. Was really looking forward to ordering some tonight.

Order in, get to work birthday boy.

again... mustad has large keeper that can't move and is extra heavy. stays very sharp and is easy to snell. I do want to try vmc but I'll always keep mustad in my box.

Okay guys, I'd like to hear your advice on my 3 BC setups. rod one is a gen1 abu vendetta 7' medium mf action with a pinnacle finesse reel which is quite unimpressive. I'd like to use this rod for squarebills jerkbait and topwater. rod 2 is 7' mh xf team daiwa t with a Lews Laser MG 6.4 speed. Was thinking spinnerbaits swim jigs and pitching t - rigs and jigs with 16-18# fluoro. rod 3 is 7'3" H xf *** *** with daiwa lexa100 7.1 for punching, frogs, and flipping heavy cover. 65# sunline fx2 braid seems like a no brainer. my question is should I swap any of those reels. what reel should I add to my lineup? any techniques should I consider or reconsider for those rods? I was considering the new *** BC for my *** and moving the lexa to the daiwa rod and Lews to the vendetta. that way both rods have matching reels. but would the 7.1 speed be too fast for rod2? should I leave reels as is and get a new reel for rod1? Thanks in advance for thoughts or jokes.

I'm in. happy bday

denny brauer mustad.

bearing upgrades improve flipping distance and you need less effort

trokars are sharp but not stronger and they don't last. not worth the $ imo. farmer: why don't you like straight? heavy cover straight hooks are thick and have baitkeepers. I've never had a problem with ewg either that I've noticed but it doesn't mean it doesn't have flaws.

true but I'm not spending 4 or 5 dollars more for it.

Hey did you get the email I wrote you? Haven't heard back so wasn't sure if it went through.

or have her read up on here about how to get a gut hook out properly

tiny bass don't hang out with big bass. move

burning a frog back to the boat and having a DD hit it at the boat is luck. I'd like to see someone get "lucky" by punching mats silently and pulling bass out. that's all knowledge and skill. no rooster tail and zebco combo is pulling that off.

Haven't heard back yet...don't expect to.

I choose color on water clarity and what gives bass best profile or reaction. I'm not sure how this lure improves anything. It moves same amount of water and has same flash of color. This will sell lures no doubt and that's the ultimate goal of a successful business.

dbombs are phenomenal

great, thanks for the help. I'll get to it later tonight.

Should I ask for the hull Id number?

punching and cranking

I won't be buying either, it's made to catch fishermen. You think a bass has time to inspect those baits and choose it over a standard version of the same lure?
