CRANKENSTIEN

I caught a couple of bass Friday with eggs in them. Tha s as late as I've seen in northern iL. Also so some 2 inch bass schooling around ??

If it is cut out of the same blank then the 7 3 would have a little more whip / softer tip. Which in same brands I believe would be the case.

Not yet. There are guys around here that will almost never cast anything else so I don't. They can be so 1 demensional it almost seems to complimentary to call them bass fisherman.

Welcome from another northern IL guy.

So you wandered into peoria. That's one way to enjoy Asian carp. I was impressed by the flip behind what looked to be a Jon boat

Spinning with a braid and leader is popular. My. Choice as well.

Really? Those are strong words for such a broad brush. how do you feel about prescription abuse/ pain killers anti depressants, or anyone else with the possibility of a dulled sense. How about slow reactions: older people, Individus with poor eyesight. If they are in a boat or an auto are they losers? I like this forum because people can express they're views. Opinions and experiences are different.

Agree. Some days it just seems like they barely take the crank and if you don't play them you can lose them. Sometimes a different color or crank can help. I will dip my rod sometimes but I d o not want to deaden its action.

You said you see them busting. Have a spook type bait or a jerk bait on to run through there and deep crank it when they disappear. They may not know when they are winning but they can probably figure out when they are losing LOL.

Agree with above. On spinning gear braid will give you a long cast and you can feel your bait much better. A leader will give a less visible line and a little stretch.

Agree

I Simply agree.

I would like to say square bill but it isn't versatile enough. So I will go with a green pumpkin swim jig and craw trailer.

Does it giv you a weed line. If so you can crank or sw m a bait along it.

I have a 12 lb grand slam which I no longer use. It dose not cast well. I use pline 10 lb cxx and it is. Good casting line. If you have trouble with backlashes you want to stay away from stiffer lines
