    Before you go throwing a crank that big, you'll have to make sure you have the right equipment.

    The Lunker frog you posted in great in more open water. In heavier cover, I like most of the one's posted here like the Booyah Pad Crasher and Spro Bronzeye.

    As am I. I've been searching for a dedicated chatterbait rod.
  4. fishballer06
    I've found that anything in the 10+ ft. range really is tough to crank in even on a 6:1 reel. I can't even imagine the strain it would take to bring in something like that on a 7:1.

    Dobyns makes the best cranking rods out there (that I have found/used). I personally own a 765CB and a 684CB. Take advantage of this sale if you have the cash to spend and get yourself something nice that will last you a very long time.

    Yes, they work very well. They come in all the standard fish catching colors. Use whichever works well for you and the situation.

    First one is definitely a Norman DD. Second looks like a Bagley to me.

    The Bluegill color produced my largest bass last season.

    The swinging "rugby" jig heads/hooks can also be worked by reeling them, similar to a crankbait. Get a heavier one (5/8-3/4-1oz), let it sink to the bottom, and then reel it slowly back to you. You can stop it every once in a while. This will look just like a crawfish crawling along the bottom and you'll really be able to get a feel for what the bottom is.

    The barrel swivel broke? Or your line from the swivel to the chatterbait was gone? I'm betting that your knot gave out.

    I've bought 3 reels from JapanLureShop and I have never had any problems or been hit with any fee's. I usually buy one reel and a spool of line with it, and customs has yet to hold anything up.

    I'm looking at trucks right now myself. The new Colorado's do look nice, but I don't see how they can charge just as much for a mid size truck as they do a full size truck. The 2014 leftover Silverado's are the same price as the 2015 Colorado's.

    Might be making an order off JLS soon and I like trying things that aren't available here in the states. Has anyone tried the Jackall Red Spool fluoro yet? I searched around and couldn't find anything.
  14. fishballer06
    They make a big ruckus on the surface. They're a big, heavy bait. Just reel them in slow. I'd suggest a 5:1 reel. The Pomp Jr. is coming out at iCast. That should be better suited for any a lighter setup.

    I like to use my St. Croix Avid 7' M-F and my Shimano Crucial 6'10" MH-F for throwing 1/4-3/8oz Cavitrons (or buzzbaits as some folks say).

    40 lb for cranks/moving baits 50 lb for jigs and frogs

    I guess I better start saving up now. I'll be getting the new Rapala HD colors and the Spro RK Star's.

    Digging in is usually caused by thin line, and lots of resistance (fish taking drag, getting snagged an torquing on the lure with the line, etc). With that, my vote goes to 832. I was starting to like the Seaguar Smackdown, but I found it's almost too supple and I ended up having lots of issues with it.
  19. fishballer06
    Are you looking to replace the whole handle, or just the knobs?

    Bruiser makes a ribbed double tail grub. Check out the Evil Twin.
  21. fishballer06
    The Keitech Impact Fats, Impacts, and Easy Shiners are all great trailers. I also have good luck using Zoom Fat Alberts (single and double tail), and the split tail trailers. I also recently got some Bruiser Baits Evil Twin trailers and they have great action as well. The legs on it kick outward instead of inward like most double tailed grubs.

    It's a little bit out, but Chatauqua (spelling) is a killer.

    Everyone always gets excited about these sales the two weeks leading up to any holiday... Historically, TW never starts there sale to usually the day of the holiday, or maybe the day before. Just be patient.

    Storm has the Arashi 20 coming out, and I believe Terminator is releasing a Frog. I've been wanting to pull the trigger on a 734C, but maybe I should wait until this comes out!!!
