I have some 8in and a shell cracker. I use a 3600. You can mod it and remove partitions if you want to make more space. But in the bottom portion can hold a couple bigger style baits.

I have the 4 & 6 in BBZ1 Shad. I just seen the rat now and wondering. I think it would be a killer for big northern and Muskie on a couple lakes I fish.

Let me know if it runs like it looks. 18 isn't bad. So if it has a good action I would be in.

The question is to give in to the bait monkey and order my BBZ1 Rat from TW which will lead to additional purchases of tackle I "need". I already have way too much. (Side thought, a form post of your tackle?) I actually would like to see that post and seeing if anyone else is a tackle hoarder.

I was thinking of staying in the 2 to 4 oz range. I know I want to get a rocket for bass. On the C3 versus the 4 why the preference difference?

http://trailers.mndnr.gov/ Oh, and just because you don't live here doesn't mean your free of this new requirement. I read that even going through Minnesota with a water craft not lic could get you a fine.

So I just seen it. Minnesota DNR is requiring boaters to take a test and pay a fee on invasive aquatic species. Once passed, you get a sticker for your trailer. The test and sticker are required by June 1st. This coming year is only a warning, but in 2016 find will be given. Once I get a DNR link I will post, but wow, they are taking this serious.

I can just see the wheels spinning in your head as you go out the garage. I think I need one of these, and these, and .... I know I can or may need this somehow. You thought about sterilization though.. Lol

Gl trying to catch a deal. I like to wait until summer and hit CL. Always someone wanting to get out of fishing..

Yeah I couldn't see a DNR wasting money on the death. I know in MN there are some private stocking done with walleye, and they are almost double the price per fish stocked, but they aren't fry our fingerlings.

That is a good deal in my opinion. I have the magnum with 6 boxes and I think I paid a little more than that. The super is a monster, and they are great bags. Well built and made to carry almost anything you can throw at it. Get it while you can, but beware. If you don't have enough tackle to fill the boxes... you will be another victim of the bait monkey, and you can check in with the rest of us addicts in the bait monkey form.

Yeah.. I have gotten by so far. 10 - 15 a lure. On the TW black Friday deal I spent the most I have ever spent on a single lure. Once I get this rod and reel down I will put more into tackle.

Yeah I kept them. I don't keep my Cajun line though. So cheap to replace

I know they say a MH is a perfect go to. You just great some that say braid should only be used for this and never use mono and the kind of rod. I use my three and keep my lures in between the weight on the rod. I do change my line out depending on my mood. Lately I have been running 50 lb braid on my bait caster, and 30 braid on my spinning. I change out the bait caster for Cajun 12 lb line a lot.

So I see people (and I'm not one to talk) with a copious amount of rods. They HAVE XX action with Xx Line for Xx techniques. I personally have 3 rod that I use for specific things, but is there a right or wrong. Are MH fast actions preferred for specific techniques and what do you use than for line? what do you use (line, action) for what technique?

Might pick up a pack. I have already been a Mustad user, but love to look at other makers with positive remarks from fellow users.

If I am correct those are the spinning trebles? Shoot me a review of them and how well they work.

It's almost 50 here in Minnesota.. I am so close to saying screw out in going out!

My wife "Why can you fish out of season but not hunt" asking when northern opener is two weeks before bass. (And I was fishing for northern) My reply "Because you can catch and release Fish. You can't shoot a deer and expect to release it."

The tackle company's out there do a great job of marketing. 1 lure in 10 colors, and 20 lures in the series that go to 1, 2, 6 ft of water an so on! It's easy to get in the mind set that different colors are needed, and different depths are needed. Not to mention different presentations. The choices are endless, and it's hard to say no I only need X amount of baits. I personally am guilty of the bait monkey getting too often. I see a pro, our even a friend use it and think, hum.. I don't have it, I want it, and I want to master that lure.

Humm... Minn kota Pilot Revo Rocket But stocking up on some hard baits like: Spro Aruku Strike King red eye's Yo-Zuri's And a Rapala or two I have been eyeing. Maybe some more *** chatters to. I would of gotten it all on the black Friday sale, but decided to try out Wacky rigging with Senkos, and to cross off a couple other bigger ticket lures next year would be better.

I know I know, but I was hopping it would slide because the "other fish" section... Lol.. But I love the Toro, and was thinking about that. But what are the + and -'s of round versus low profile, or isn't there? And has it come commonly accepted to use the lows on bigger fish? If I remeber right the Toro also would make a decent cross over reel with different line of course for just plain out northen or bass fishing. I appreciate the help, really I do.

So. This year I am thinking up upgrading my Muskie fishing setup. I originally went with an extremely cheap setup to make sure it was something I wanted to get into, and I do. My current setup is an Okuma ABF spinning reel (the salt water reel) and a Whumppum stick. The problem is this setup while it works is extremely heavy! What are your suggestions? Spinning over caster. Round versus low profile. Pros and cons. I was originally thinking an Abu Garcia Ambassador C4, St. Croix MD FA and 85 lb braid, but I want to hear from others on their opinion who fish musky. Oh price range isn't set yet, but I was thinking 300 ish range on the combo. Give or take.

Lol.... I like it.. practical multi use..
