  1. Look on Facebook different bait sites for good used baits . Bought a lucky craft pointer 78 that had some wear . Changed the hooks and split rings and proceeded to clean house . Every now and then you can find new baits on clearance or heavily discounted at box stores.
  2. Fish for alot of spotted bass . Generally try to find hard bottoms and or rock specifically. Love the fight but depending on where you live when we get the first cold snap ( georgia ) they turn on and get active . Shakey heads , ned rigs, small jigs ( keitech ) always seem to produce. But winter time is a real chance to find some big fish . Check out Carters lake have some magnum spotted bass .
  3. Good saltwater shop locally half hitch , good selection of stuff . But plenty of places to catch bass as well , pier park has 3 to 4 good size ponds to fish around in . Caught one well over 5 lbs a few years back .
  4. Dobyns 703c but if you want more hook setting power 763c , fury line up great rods for the price imo .
  5. I use the champion line up . As far as pitching and skipping two different rods for me personally . But my ideal skipping rod dobyns champion 684 heavy fast action perfect for quick acurate skips with the ability to pull the big girls out . Yes you can flip as well but usually use a longer rod for flipping . But the 684 is a very versatile rod . You can skip with just about anything however being acurate is another thing . Much more acurate with a shorter rod but im also 5 ft 6 . Andy morgan uses a 7 ft but he is also over 6ft tall. But like anything use what works for you .
  6. The damiki anchovy shad looks pretty close to that tail.
  7. Just get the world fishing network channel on your cable provider for $10 or under you can watch it , record it and about 20 other fishing shows with it . Best money I ever spent .
  8. By far the answer is no , I own 10 of them . But when researching something everyone has opinions . But I like to read as much information as I can before I buy . Check out www.tackletour.com they review and rate tackle and equipment . Some of the dobyn's line ups stay well rated . Granted other options are testing better and worse but it all has different factors . I tend to use that site and tackle wear house and here a bit for information on performance guides on stuff .
  9. I am pretty sure its whole family can be found in a waffle house at about 3am . Just saying some scary people or things in there ....
  10. Roughly $ 200 to $300 per month when I am not buying rods and reels . Fishing is my only hobby so I don't think its to bad I guess .
  11. I think tacklejunky did a review on those and had the deep box for crankbaits . Had a rediculous amount of them in there.
  12. Yeah your right dunno was thinkng it was rated for more weight . My goal is to have a swim bait rod for under 2oz.
  13. I have been tossing the idea of swimbaits for a while . Started with swim jigs and chatterbaits and using small swim bait trailers with pretty good success. Next started with some small keitech swimbaits and my catches jumped up considerably . Tried my first shake on a hard swim bait . Have read reviews and made the jump . As far as the bait goes I went with the slow sink as I wanted the bait to sit higher up in the water column . The slow sink can be crawled slow or worked with pops and jerks like a jerkbait. I also like that you can burn it and just stop and it will slowly flutter down . I will say that if burn it it will turn into a wake bait .I can Certainly see the fast sink for keeping it down as the slow sink unless slow reeled will rise. The slow sink is 7/8 oz but The fast sink is 1 oz. Great now I'm looking at a dobyns 735c and a tatula hd reel. Looks like possibly an older female with the bug eyes.
  14. I work in the auto repair industry so thank goodness for the warranty. Some of the new jeeps have some issues but overall new car problems are all the norm. All vehicles have them some more than others . But having to drive a long way away after all ready being delayed with your other car problems will test your sanity . Take it with stride you have a loaner to drag race with.
  15. Have had a lot of luck with spots in morning dawn and sexy shad in the roboworm line up .
  16. I have good luck targeting weed lines and edges . But also one of my favorite ways to catch fish is using a lipless crank bait and ripping it out of the grass for a reaction strike . You can also cover an immense amount of water looking for active fish . But when in doubt weightless senko , trick worm etc will suffice . A Carolina rig can also be deadly with a long tag end to trail above the grass . Might also try the drop shot setup when in a pinch I can just about catch anything on it , just down size your offerings when it gets tough .
  17. Good job on the fish , but sorry about you giving your take on the hook n look show .
  18. I like using the ima Helips in the regular size and the Grande size . Both are compact baits and make a loud racket with short pulls of the rod tip or small twitches . You can tie a loop knot to enhance the action and tweak the blade tips to gurgle more water with little movement . Especially deadly around bedding bass and blue gill beds. You can keep the bait in there face for longer periods .
  19. Can't figure out how to correct the pictures . I couldn't get my phone back out quick enough two other female's were parralleling the grass line .
  20. Tried some of the ish fat frogs . Excellent action as well will have to catch a ? now.
  21. Had fun today catching a few fish off the beds . Had a few fish that wouldn't commit so I just started having fun seeing how close I could get and grab some pictures .
  22. These thing are easily one of the easiest frogs to walk . Around cover they are awsome but definitely not a heavy cover frog . The wide spread on the hooks like to grab whatever is near . Everynow and then you find a bait that's just fun to throw . Anyways I really need to get a scale and some friends to take better pictures . Sorry for the close up I'm short and so by nature so are my arms .
  23. No check engine light ? You mentioned you chane the spark plugs regularly. Those are recommended every 100k miles not routinely. If your using the wrong parts this could have an effect on the engines perfomance and fuel economy. I would need more information such as milage , parts used etc .
  24. YES ! I shop almost exclusively at a local store . However the store has a very close selection to tackle wear house . I routinely find brands such as , ima , megabass , imakatsu , duo , lucky craft to name a few . She will order anything I can find or like and then hold it for me or order it on someone else's order to get it sooner . I have been to several local tackle stores and mostly others carry about the same as academy and dicks sporting goods etc . The store owner calls the regulars for when stuff comes in or something new is coming up and even sponsors local tournaments . Not to mention the know your name when you come in is always pretty cool . The more and more I bounce around just for curiosity the more aggravation I find with having to go find someone to find what your are looking for or the big box stores carrying what your looking for in their own brand . I didn't come in here for a xps or cabelas branded product of what I am looking for . I am surprised they just done sell their own branded stuff and toss out other competitor brands anymore .
  25. I use the Plano guide series 3750 bag . I took out the 3700 trays and put in the 3600 trays , as I can fit 11 trays instead . I stack them vertically 5 side by side with one in the middle . As far as the back you can fit 2 3600 trays turned side up or one 3700 single tray on the back . Or you can turn them on the sides with labels to show what you have then just put more on top of them ! I can pack for just about anything I need and still have room for up top for my terminal tackle .
