3/8 double willow either War Eagle or Siebert Outdoors. White with accents is best color. Throw regardless of conditions, and Reel fast enough where blades are 1 to 5 inches beneath surface. Spinnerbait is my favorite bait.

It's a lake record. Biggest yet to come out of there.

??? what

I mean its pretty obvious when you use your eyes to see a bass roll over in mid air. one was small about 2 pounds, and the other was about 4 feet away and scared the **** out of me, and had to be atleast 24 inches long, and was super fat. An old man caught a 9-5 in that cove 3 weeks after that. I dont know if that was that fish, but i know that fish was a giant. I am amazed at peoples ability to tell someone they are wrong without being there to witness the situation, so being an ******* is the right thing to do...? NOPE

For cheap line a 10 dollar spool of yozuri (I think 600 yards) of 15 pound test works very well. Line is pretty manageable, very sensitive, very abrasive resistant, stupid strong, but the knot strength is lacking. I tested the best knot to be a San Diego jam. Next line I'll try will be sufix pro mix or sufix superior. Sufix makes my favorite braid 832 and mono elite/siege so I'm sure the others are good as we'll

I've seen 2 bass (largemouth) completely jump out of the water, not including after top water baits. I've seen a lot of fish that could of been bass jump out, but these 2 were 100% bass. One was about 2 pounds that ate a dying/buzzing cicada, and the other was around 8-12 pounds when paddling a kayak to a cove. I don't know what your seeing, but I'd fish a white single Colorado blade right now.

Thank you

The best is tournament choice from Academy. I work there and found them at only 4.99! Bass Pro sells one just like it for 15. Same concept as the hound dog

If you're not fishing from the bank, PLEASE get yourself a lure retriever. It will easily pay for itself and prevent losing your favorite beat up lure.

The Siebert dredge brush jig is defenetily favorite jig. It's perfection w the deepthroat hook.

Why so much negativity..? there's innovations to come that everyone but the inventor wouldn't consider or comprehend till they see it. Give the advice he's seeking if you have it and say good luck to the guy. OP: Goodluck!

For that price range I would get a 7' MH/f Berkley lightning rod ($40) from wal mart or a fenwick rod from ffo tackle. I got a 6'9 MH/f elite tech smallmouth ($70) and a black max ($40). The new 3rd gen. black max have really surprised me. They cast surprisingly far, breaks are nice, drag is okay, and it is a smooth retrieve. I've had it for about 8 months now and it still works great. I got this for a "river beater" combo for a float trip so I wouldn't jeopardize one of my more expensive rods and reels. Once you want to get a higher end rod/reel I would recommend lews reels and Fenwick, Kistler, St. Croix, Falcon, Lews, Dobyns, and g loomis rods. For narrowing your search of the best rod for you, do a search on here and you'll find a lot of information.

Lipless cranks, spinnerbaits, spooks, jigs, s waver, jerkbait/fluke, and a rig.

Lipless crank. Jigs. Jerkbaits sometimes. Huddlestons super slow on the bottom. Jigging spoons.

What knot did you use?
