    I've ordered Shimano reels from various retailers in Japan and received them in 2 business days. Yet, if I order from TW, it takes 5 days every single time.

    That reel holds 70 yards of 14lb line. That's more than enough to cast jigs.

    You can still join for the final two events of the season with us now. It will get you familiar with how to make your picks and such.

    Yep! In that past, Glen has paid out in Circuit City gift cards, but this year he's stepped it up to Blockbuster unlimited lifetime memberships.

    Looks like we're down to just 2 tournaments left and still plenty of chances for anyone to win the BassResource crown for the season. There's less than 350 points separating the top 7 spots. We've got 23 days until the Fort Gibson tournament. So take your time and make your picks wisely.

    That's terrible to hear. On another note, Zaldain had a 24 pound bag and Hudnall's fish from this morning was 8-1!!!

    Derek Hudnall has a 7-8 New York largemouth in his box right now. Talk about a tank!!

    We are underway on Cayuga Lake. 8:30AM local time and 3 anglers already have over 16 pounds, including Chris Zaldain with 18.5lbs! This one could be a slug fest.

    2' is probably about the minimum for stained water. If you've got clear(er) water, I'd go around 5-6'.

    My Huk bibs and jacket have served me for 3 trips to Ontario now (7-10 days a piece) and haven't let me down. As with any quality rain gear, expect to drop $3-500 for the set.

    I'm going to put the blame on the Medium powered rod here. Using a heavy wire hook takes a stouter rod to drive that hook into the boney parts of a bass's mouth. I'll personally fish a texas rig on my medium powered rods, but I'll always use a lighter wire hook if I do.

    Dirty water conditions are known for being great spinnerbait water. Mainly because of the thump and flash that they put off. It makes it easier for the fish to sense the bait in the water whenever visibility is low.

    Alright boys, I know most of us are still licking our wounds from the St. Lawrence, but Cayuga starts on Thursday morning. Get your picks in by Wednesday night.

    This. I have a feeling that there are quite a few guys who switched to MLF that aren't making any money and they are dying to get back into BASS. To quote myself from a post I made on here earlier in the summer: Now, looking over the link posted above now, there are still 5 guys who have made $0 all season. There are also 20 guys who haven't cleared $20k for the year yet. And that KVD fella looks like he's up to $24k on the year. For reference, he made $171k last year in BASS.

    Most muskie guys are using fluoro leaders with 80-120lb. Search around online and I'm sure you could find some muskie leaders.

    I've been working on a few different bluegill colored skirts. I'm really happy how this one on the swim jig turned out.
  19. fishballer06
    I normally just use a single tail. But in the spring time a double tail on a chatterbait or spinnerbait can be deadly around here.
  20. fishballer06
    It's been a bit of a break since the last event, but we have 12 days until blastoff at St. Lawrence. Get your picks in boys!

    I don't own the model you posted, but I see lots of pro's using them on their boats in videos, so they must not be too bad. This model is great if you're trying to keep track of all of the fish in your livewell. I do however own this model. I've had it for about 4-5 years now and it seems that they've changed the appearance of it some, but mine has never let me down. I've checked it by weighing known weight objects to see its accuracy and it's always on. So for that, I'll say that the Rapala scales are pretty accurate. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Rapala_Pro_Guide_Digital_Scales/descpage-RPGDS.html

    I bought two packs a while back because they looked neat. Once I got them, I pretty much discarded them to the pile of "This will never get fished". They're a big, thick chunk of plastic and the plastic packaging was not supportive of them. I'd imagine getting a good, reliable hookset on a hunk of plastic that thick and short would be quite difficult.

    This. I generally put one bead in front of the clevis, and then usually 3-4 behind it (1/8" or 5/32"). This works well with any #3 or #3.5 size blade.

    In before this thread gets shut down...

    I don't own this rod, but I have researched it in the past and I remember Chris Zaldain saying that he uses a Perfect Pitch for frogging.
