Thank-You for letting me know. Mr. Uhl started out pretty good, it was a shame the magazine spiraled down. Tight Lines!! Jim

Has Brad Uhl and Bass'n Magazine fallen into a pit in South America or ..... I have tried calling his office and emailing him....nothing. does anyone know what has happened? Jim

Bruce 424, you just reminded me that I caught my first bass on a spinnerbait with that rod. ! Up to then, mostly bass fishing with spinning rod. Must be getting older,HaHa. Thanks for the info. Jim

I have a 5 foot 6 inch pistol grip bait casting rod. Early nineties, I caught my personal best largemouth in less than 2 feet of water. I am a bank fisherman and am wondering, is it still useful? The long rods are the rage and have two myself but I was practicing yesterday and it just felt right. Any comments or words of wisdom? PB was on a six inch Mann's worm.

Has anyone used the Mr. Twister "sassy shad" swim bait? I was reading an old Fishing Sacts magazine from March 1980 and there was a full page ad on the Mr. Twister sassy shad. I still use Mr. Twister curly tailed grubs, am just curious.

I watch "Debo's" mainly. I am a bank fisherman and he very good and teaching , especially the "little tricks". Just an average fishing nut like the rest of us. By the way, I used some of the trick worm tips he suggested and my grandson caught his "PB", a two pound largemouth on my birthday!! Best present I ever received.

Thank-You for giving me some good ideas. I figured 7 to 7'6" to be a good start.

I have been practicing with an old quantum flipping/pitching 441 reel. the reel has always been comfortable in my haand an am wondering what type of rod should I get? I have an old pistol grip Berkely rod but am thinking a 7 foot meium heavy...any thoughts?

I am interested in what type of trailers fishermaen are using with these spoons? Also, are you using a barrel swivel about a foot to 1 1/2 ft. up? Please let me know.

Big Rick thanks tons. I will try the pause as you suggested. By the way, La. is definately on my bucket list...tight lines and best of luck!

I recently purchased a Mister Twister Top Prop. I used it once and had several largemouth attack it. Anyone else have any luck? What color trailer were you using. I am using it tomorrow morning. Also, I noticed if you are fishing heavy weeds it works very well but not with the trailer hook. Just curious.

I am currently using the KK royal elite...No problems what so ever. I am extremely satisfied with this reel. I believe if you follow the recommendations for the reel it will serve you well. I cannot believe the price but am still satisfied.

Anywhere from a 4 -12 in worm usually. Plastic worms are a confidence bait with me. I try different approaches but when all else yields nothing, my old standby rises to the occasion, espcially when I fish the worm slow.

Has anyone had success with tru turn hooks? If so what size were you using.

Thank-You very much, I will give them a try.

My area of fishing the water level is up two feet. I like to texas rig, drop shot,etc. from shore. I know I have to adjust but what would be good? A big spinner bait? Could use sound advice. Jim

for two weeks now, wacky rig with a Zoom trick worm 7 inch watermelon w/red flake. Toss up between 1/0 mosquito hook vs owner weedless hook size one. It has been great!!!

Healthy recovery for Bill Dance, one of my mentors growing up. His bloopers are CLASSIC! May God be with you Mr. Dance and thanks!

I am experimenting with some top water baits(confidence baits). I am thinking of changing the trebles out and going with a single hooks. What hook should I consider plus, should I also add a split ring to the hook? Plese advise. Jim

I believe you are spot on. Have a good day. Jim

I have fished with the Hydra Lure for some years now. Amazing!! I naturally have caught decdnt bass but when I was catching 5 lb river walleyes... I could not believe it. The lure has been a "go to" for me for quite some time. Only trouble is I cannot find any more kits to replace what I have lost. Any suggestions?

Fishing Facts was a great magazine. The magazine no longer is in operation which I felt was a great loss. The nice fact about it was it was not about tournament fishing but fishing!

I am currently looking at purchasing a pitching reel. I am a bank fisherman and use a baitcaster quite a bit and have a lot of fun. Any suggestions, because I read the reviews for Ardent pitching reels (f 700) and they were not good. Any advice would surely be appreciated. Thank-You

What ever became of US Reels ? I came across an ad featuring Jimmy Houston talking about US Reels. Does anyone know?

Thank-You Riverbasser, very much appreciated the help! Jim
