Very nice haul!?

Welcome, enjoy the forums.

Looks great, nice job!

Been using sniper for years and really like it. Depending on cover I use 14 lb up to 20 lb .

This probably won’t help much, but... I fish clear waters, with visibility in the 3 to 9 ft usually. I have experimented with rattles for years now and have not noticed any difference in catch rate +/-. It works both ways. You’ll have to experiment on your own, to come to a conclusion I believe.

I have and use the Jackall Kaera Frog, booyah, and spro hollow body frogs. Of the three I use most, I’d recommend in this order for you. The booyah is the softest great hookup % and least expensive. The Kaera Frog is slightly smaller profile but still weighs 1/2 oz. The spro is my favorite, but I fish it on a heavy rod with braid. Hope this helps some.

My favorite for years now, the Owner Rig N Hook size 4/0

1/2 and 3/8 mostly for me.

Welcome back! Enjoy the forums!

Powell Inferno swimbait 7’6” cork grip, $20 less then the fury. Rated up to 3 oz and shorter handle which I like best.

This is what they look like in my area.

Dobyns DX 705C. Lews Pro Z. 7.1:1 20 lb sniper.

Ditto

Can you do it, yes. will it work, yes. Do I do it, no.

According to the BBWC 7.28 Caught on a 4” pit boss pitched into pads.

No , never joined. Been lmb fishing pretty much every weekend excluding winter the past 4 decades now. Just for the joy and relaxation it brings me.

Welcome, enjoy the forums....and fishing once more!

Nice bass, good luck tomorrow.

Same here in my area.

Nice bass, congrats. Enjoy the high!

I also like the smaller 7/16 oz better. Caught a lot of bass over the years with this and it is easier towork it under the surface at about 6” then the 3/4 The 3/4 model better for waking as said. I do upgrade The trebles with mine.

Hello, enjoy the forums.

I use all three. mostly flouro, some braid, and a little mono. I don’t use leaders.

A great day there. Congrats and enjoy the high!
