Looks like I'm heading to Rosemary Beach, FL in July and was wondering if anybody had any tips on Lake Powell. I'm not familiar with dune lakes and see that it has a mixture of fresh and saltwater fish. What techniques, lure types do you recommend and how about rod/ reel? Would an Alphas SV be okay for these waters? Any of info will be greatly appreciated!

No offense to anybody here, but you'll most likely get a quicker response on tackle tour.

Jackall says the msrp will be $39.99 and the different line ties are actually for weights so you can adjust the float/ sink rate. Slowly trying to get in to swimbaits. Will definitely get one of these.

MB is the definition of functional fishing art.

Should be titled: How can't you fish a Roboworm!?

Splurge a little. You'll thank yourself in the future. Tatula.

More specifically which colors are best suited for the time of year? I know water clarity will be a big factor, but I'm sure the stages of a crass coloring will also come into play.

Zoom Megabass because of there innovative designs and colors. My PB was off of the Bumpee Worm.

It's probably not even a year old

What's wrong with a Steez?

I've never opened a reel, but I have done maintenance and upgrades on similar products and that definitely sounds like a gear problem. Could be something as simple as a gear is out of place or something like the teeth have been broken and/ or worn down. I have a Tatula as well and absolutely love it. Excellent reel for the price and will be purchasing another one.

I purchased two boxes of XPS this past Spring Classic in 10 and 14# and have been very surprised/ pleased with it. The white boxes. Both are being used on my baitcasters and any overruns I've had have been purely user error. Abrasion resistance is pretty good, memory is low (just enough to make tying knots easier), and of course, the knot strength has been good. I'll definitely be buying more.

I've used chart. numerous times on the Zoom shakey head worm in Junebug. It doesn't make a huge difference, just a slight yellow tint, but the fish seem to like it

Similar situation happened to me last summer. Managed to get my LC Sammy in an over hanging branch and for about 20 minutes I tried everything I could to pull it free or at least break the line. Was beyond fed up and gave it one last tug and broke to the tip on my G. Loomis. To make matters worse as soon as the rod broke the Sammy fell out of the branch and into the water just far enough away from me to retreive it. Oh yeah, no fish either.

Buddy and I went today despite the weather this morning. Pretty glad we did as the sun finally came out and started warming things up. Caught three in the same area, average depth was 5ft in this area. All three were caught within an hour and hooked using a 6th Sense jerkbait in a sexy shad color. First one was a dink, second one was a minimum 5 pounder, and finally, to my surprise and first time ever, a pike that was roughly 24" long!
