I like the snell because it allows the weight to sit on the hook versus the knot.

Seibert dock rocker has become my hands down favorite this year.

From KVD's blog on Bassmaster.com: A hollow body frog type lure. Strike King is coming out with a new one at ICAST that we call a “Poppin’ Perch.” It will be excellent for matted vegetation and skipping under docks and trees. It’s got a cupped mouth with phenomenal action that I know is going to be deadly in some situations. You should see it later this fall.

Not really sure why everyone in this thread and the other says not on baitcasters. I've had the 40# on two of my BB1 Pros for over a year without issue. The slickness of the line makes any backlashes a cinch to get out. The two rods I use it on are primarily for casting top waters as far as I can and the Gliss delivers on that. I replaced Seaguar Smackdown on both rods with the Gliss and have been very happy.

I would love to see the high test Gliss!

Was out on Waneta & Lamoka on Saturday and it sucked. Talked to a few other guys from my club that were out and they said the same thing. They treated the lakes for weed control and it's a mess now. Add in that the water level seems to be down 6".

I use the 6/0 Beast hook as recommended by Bryan Thrift in the Damiki videos. I should say used. Found these frogs are a plow through everything and collect slop on every cast. Used them on one trip and threw them in my crap lure drawer. I bought 4 packs of them too.

Decided to try the Western arm of Keuka today, launching from the state park. I had never used that launch and quickly found out its where all the pleasure boats launch from. Never again. I was surprised to find water temps in the mid to upper 60s still. The larger lakes down here in PA are well into the mid 70 range. As a result, still didn't find many fish up on docks. Best catch of the day was a 3 lb smallmouth I caught from under a dock that the owners had strung a rope under to keep people from fishing under it. The dock sat about 6" off the water with the rope 3" off the water. I laughed when I saw it and skipped a bubble gum caffeine shad right under it. Got nailed as soon as it reached the middle of the dock.

I've got a new pro g and like it. I already knew I'd love the brakes because I have 4 bb1 pros with the same system. I'm using the pro g for my heavy punching setup, so no long casts with it. My bb1s cast a mile. One thing about the pro g is that its tiny compared to all of my other lews.

Plano 3771. Slim and adjustable dividers. Ultimate usage of space.

I was on Silver from 10-4. I boated 26 bass and one pike. I think I saw Dave running up the lake. I worked docks all day. I caught 12 bass from under one dock. Largest fish was around 4 lbs. Saw 4 five plus pounders under one dock, but they were super spooky. I also saw what had to be a nearly 6# smallmouth swimming around in the open. Being my first time at Silver, here are some of my observations: 1. The sheer number of fish I observed was unlike anything I've ever seen. 2. More pike than I've ever seen anywhere. I'm talking one every 30 yards 3. Every fish is faaaat. 4. People everywhere are ignorant at boat ramps, but the experience here was absurd both launching and leaving. Overall, I was impressed. I may make the 3 hour drive again someday just to take my tourny partner with me to experiencd it.

Is that Lance's Sea Ark you were on?

Well, changed my mind since the forecast looks do d**n nice for Friday. Going to take the whole day off and head to Silver. Will probably be on the water from 10-4 or so.

Will do. I'll be in a silver Ranger Rt188 with PA registration on it. Probably have my buff on to look like a fish bandit. I thought I'd designate some time throwing the whopper plopper for some toothy critters myself.

I think I'm going to visit the mystical Silver Lake for the first time on Friday afternoon/evening. Spend the night in Geneseo and hit Conesus early on Saturday.
