Thanks guys. Just looking for a second kayak for my wife. And another to use on lakes and ponds really and it’s a easy to get boat near me. Since bass pro is in town. But if the reviews are that bad I’ll stray away.

Thank you!! I’m glad you said that

Thanks everyone. Oh and 100 percent I always look at feedback and rating on ebay. Just curious if the baits are quality. But I guess to an extent a molded bait is a molded bait lol

I’m looking to get a second kayak to use along side my native ultimate. Anyone have any expierence with the ascend boats from bass pro?? Or able to recommend a model they sell?

Thanks everyone!! In saltwater I’m used to 2-3 feet of leader I never expected to hear 10 or 20!!!

MH fast 40 pound braid M fast 40 pound braid MF spinning 15 Pound braid ML spinning 15 pound braid spinners, Texas rigs, weightless plastics, Ned’s, football or swim jigs, rattle traps , charterbaits. Nothing over 3/8-1/2 ounce

What pound fluorocarbon leader is everyone generally using? And about how long are you all making them?

Awesome. Thanks everyone. I may snag some just to see how they are

How was the quality?

Anyone ever purchase some of the soft plastic bait logs off eBay where ya get 40 or so of random color stick baits or ribbon tails or flukes? Just curious if anyone has ever gotten a good deal or good product

Thanks guys!!! I’ll pick some up that’s what I was used to doing in saltwater down home. Never done it for bass. Gonna give it a shot tho!

Recently moved to Iowa. I’m from Florida. We pretty much only used braid where I was. But I’m wanting to really maximize my set ups. 7’ M carbonlite baitcast combo 7’ MH carbonlite bait cast combo 7’ M 2500 spinning rod I throw a lot of weightless plastics flukes, ribbon tails and stick baits. Ned rigs spinners, in line spinners, rattle traps, hard jerk baits. Football head and swim jigs, chatter baits. Some small square bills. I dishing in Iowa now so not near as swampy. What would y’all rig these up with for line?

Thanks so much other than the finesse bait those are pretty much my go to baits. Glad to hear they work well up here as well. The fishing area near my house has some deep drop offs I’m gonna give those a shot I think

Ahh didn’t think of the Ned rig making a smaller presentation. Thanks for the welcome. I’m excited to try and learn the Iowa patterns

Thank you so much for all the help. Texas rig or weightless is my go to anyway lol

That’s what I was thinking. But wasn’t sure. I was considering really slow rolled chatterbaits on the bottom or a football jig?

So what’s the best options to start out with right now? Since the water temps are still cool? I know it’s gonna be super slow presentation

Hey everyone. I just moved to Iowa near Des Moines. I’m from Florida only ever bass fished in Florida. So I’m out of my element big time. Anyone have any advice on baits and techniques to start bank fishing lakes and ponds now? Thanks so much!

Well I stopped and got a 7’ medium and 7’ medium heact combo and some 40 pound braid for them. Can’t wait to try and get some Iowa bass

Thanks everyone. I’m so used to just throwing braid in Florida. I guess I’ll need to actually give some other lines a try!!!

So why mono it’s got so much stretch?

Oh ok awesome. Thank you for the reply. I’m used to 15 pound or 65 pound braid. So I wasn’t sure if I should make the switch to mono or flouro

Recently moved to Iowa. I’m from Florida so all my stuff is rigged with braid. What are most guys using out in the Midwest where ponds and lakes aren’t swamps???

What do ya recommend I was also looking at the extreme and getting a ducket rod

How does everyone like these combos? For $199 they don’t seem to bad I’m Lookin g at the 7’ medium. For pond hoping
