The only scent I have used is jjs magic. It has helped on multiple occasions. I’ll use it on grubs, tubes and senkos. Going to try procure out next.

I guess I was hooking differently, I went through both the tubing and heat shrink. I guess maybe I wasn’t following the conventional rigging idea. Never had a worm stolen. I will look into the hair ties as well sounds much easier and cheaper than rigging with the heat shrink.

@Chance_Taker4My only question is how did you turn out in the standings. Sounded like he handled your all’s lack of cummincation well during the fact, not being a total jerk and you were understanding of what he meant after clarification.

Have no clue, just tried to set it up too.

I don’t know the size of the o ring but similar to what @tcbass states above, I have use the heat shrink for electrical wiring.

So finally got to get some new gear: 2- tatulas 7.3:1 3 rolls power pro 50lb pack of rage swimmers 2 packs strike king swimbait heads 5 series 1 freak cb 4 series 2 freak cb 4 packs of v&m smallie tube hook

The tungsten rocket weights and wacky jig heads is that the price for 1 weight/jig head? Just wondering have never ordered but fixing to and don’t want to mess up and not get enough. Thanks!

Went with j pow wheeler lowen f Shryock groh cant complain to much

@RichFOk may have read something wrong but I appreciate the answer. Besides weight any advantage to the ct?

Can some one give me a good idea the difference between the tatula 100hd and the 100hd ct? Thanks!!

Not sure how your rock looks like but I fish a lake with a lot of big chunk rock. Switching up to tungsten weights has helped me, also I fish a lot of square bills and they tend not to hang as bad. Another bait that might work would be a spybait and spinnerbait if keeping bottom contact is necessary.

So I rolled with... Litner Ehrler Evers Herren Tharp

Jason, I have a friend who fishes there. Had an 18lb sack on four fish back in feb. So I think is doing pretty good

Here it depends on when you can get on the water, week days usually great weekends not so much. But like @TOXIC talked about intent. I had a new boss introduce the idea of looking at everything with positive intent even when I shouldn’t. My reaction to the situations have changed. He challenged us to apply it not just at work but at everything in life. I have a much more positive reaction these days.

Explains the colorations!! Beautiful fish!!

Nice fish, just wondering those look like huge brook trout, what is a splake??

I’ve been using izorline(sp) and haven’t had any problems with it. I fish an extremely rocky lake and that stuff has taken a beating and holds up well. I’m using 15lb.

If they are as good as the old ones I’d hop all over it. I would but stupid transmissions are expensive

My son is five and uses a old cheap abu combo. He like to cast. cast.. cast... and cast some more. He had trouble trying to use a spin cast but picked up a spinning rod quickly

Originals or new style?

I appreciate the feedback @WRB and @Mike L. Gauging his attitude became real easy for me, he wanted to beat the bank, fish his memories, and then try to play it off and joke like he wasn’t a good fisherman. I spoke with him 3 times prior to the tournament and he stated he didn’t have a pattern. Looking back at it I guess he try’s to junk fish and hopes to find a fish. I did point out after he caught his keeper that all our bites had come off the rock piles. We then proceeded to fish gravel with brush. At that point I was lost on how to approach him. I spent the rest of the day trying to fish what was as close to the pattern we had established. Nice thing is I never have to worry about being paired with him again.

I’ll keep an eye out!!

I was lucky and didn’t bank roll that much for him. Though I did put in for the gas. @S. Doolittle I think that’s awesome you take that input. I like engagement from my boaters. I have learned a lot from the boaters that we’re willing to talk and share pointers. Good luck in the opens! What name should we watch for in the weigh ins so we can track you??

Thanks for the response everyone, I appreciate it. @TOXIC your point about it being a tourney is exactly what i struggles with. And yea I respect and are greatful there are guys willing to take non-boaters if not I’d be shore bound. @J Francho I think that’s what drove me the most nuts is the guy openly would joke I’m terrible. @BassNJake he honestly thought it was the bait. I caught one on a Jerkbait he changes up to a crank, but wanted to crank on primary points and my fish was on a secondary. He did something similar when I started catching on a senko. He started cycling baits but then caught a keeper off of a rock pile. He sore it was the tube, not that he finely put it on rock. Looking back i believe he was he was a horse you could lead to water, but couldn’t figure out how to drink it. Thanks for the conversation every expecially folks that are boaters.

Yea that’s what I was wondering is how to do that.. I could tell he was feeling bad by the end of the day. I had a good time just wonder if this is something I should approach unless asked for that input.
