  1. I have tried the Co-Polymer and I like it as well. I have have also tried the Flourocarbon and have mixed thoughts about it. First off it does not cast real well but that has been the nature of flourocarbon for me. Next, if you don't place close attention to the line and you have a kink in the line, it will break. On the good side though, I have noticed increased strikes with this line. I tested it against some p-line floroclear, Yo-Zuri Hybrid and Gamma's Copolymer using the same bait. The fish, flat out, can't see this stuff. Also, the knot strength is excellent and the line is almost impossible to break. Is the Gamma flourocarbon worth the money? Not really, but it is the best flourocarbon I have tried yet. I will be testing out Berkley's new Flourocarbon line tomorrow. At first glance, it seems be less stiff and less brittle. Also, it seems to have less memory but more stretch than Gamma.
  2. I like Lucky Craft Flat Mini MR's in Chartreuse Shad and Ghost Minnow.
  3. My favorite is the GYCB Kreature in the below color (Black with Blue Flake and a Blue Skirt).
  4. http://cgi.ebay.com/DAIWA-ITO-MONOBLOCK-100XR-Left-Hand-Model_W0QQitemZ290136556783QQihZ019QQcategoryZ108153QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting Found this on ebay and had to say . Then I saw the price and said . That's insane.
  5. I tend to fish at least once or twice a week like RW. I'll stop by a pond on the way home from work for an hour or two to fish a specific lure at my local honey hole to work on a specific technique. The pond I fish I always catch a lot of fish and have never been skunked. The fish their will attack anything. I have learned quite a bit from these short stops but there is one lure I have never caught anything on and that is the Bomber Flat A.
  6. I was having a slow day and decided to pull out an old favorite of mine, the GYCB 5'' Double Tail Hula Grub. My slow day become an awesome day. I had been using some Senkos, Dingers, and a few Zoom Lizards with only a couple of small ones to show for my effort. The Hula Grub just became the next choice. By the end of the day I had gone through two bags and brought in about 15+ good sized large mouth and small mouth with these things. Has anybody else had success with the Hula Grub? I was truely amazed by this bait. If you have not tried the GYCB Hula Grub, I would highly recommend it.
  7. My favorite is the Tru-Tungsten Weed Wacker 3/16oz with either a Roboworm or Zoom Finesse worm. Check out the links for the video at ***. http://www.***.com/descpageTRUTERM-TTWW.html# http://www.***.com/descpageSFWROBO-RW45ST.html#
  8. Way to go Granny. You .
  9. Great fish but not a WR. I would love to hook into one that big but I find me a new guy to hold the net.
  10. I have tried a couple of packs of their swim baits and soft plastic but I have had little success. I have caught a few nice ones on this particular swim bait from Storm.
  11. My favorite has to be the Senko. It will catch just about anything, like the 2lb 11oz crappie I caught yesterday .
  12. Thanks for the info.
  13. What type of hooks does Megabass use on their lures and where can I find them?
  14. Back in March 06' I purchased an All Star Classic rod and it cracked and eventually broke after a fight with a large catfish. I took it back to shop I purchased it at and they exchanged it for another and the same thing happend on a bass the first day I used it. I contacted All Stars customer service and was given the run around. I was able to return my rod for a full refund and applied the cash to a Loomis and have never looked back. This was the first rod I have had break on me in 30+ years of fishing. One thing though, I did like the first All Star rod I had up until it broke. I went back to the store with confidence to just exchange for another that would last and hold up. That did not happen :'(
  15. I used mine for the first time this weekend and caught two largemouths. I also used my first Vision 110 and caught a couple as well. I have to say that the Megabass lures are the finest lure I have ever fished. Are they fish catching machines? I am not sold on that yet but again they are the best constructed lure I have ever seen. On a side note, I saw a particular Vision 110 go for $140 on ebay. To me, that's insane, when I picked up the same bait in a different color for $12 (made the same year).
  16. I stopped by my local Gander Mountain to pick up a lure I had lost and some Yum Dingers I was out of and I noticed that some of the Dingers I picked up looked exactly like Gander Mountains version. I asked the sales guy and he had no clue. The plastic looked the same but the sent of the bait was different. We even measured the dia. and length and weighed them. They were identicle. Are Yum and Gander's soft plastic made by the same people?
  17. I like the Junebug color and white with black flakes.
  18. I will never get sick of Senkos. They have renewed my love for bass fishing (among other things). I have used both the 5'' and 6'' but the 5'' has been the most successful for me. I also like the Yum Dingers but again the 5'' Senko has been the best. The 4'' Smoke Laminate Dinger in particular has been a secret weapon for me though. It is a dink magnet but it catches fish when the Senko seems to slow down.
  19. MegaStrike is the only one I had success with.
  20. I like the Yum Crawbugs and Gamblers Ugly Otter.
  21. I had a Zebco 33 for years and caught several bass with it but I would not use it for serious bass fishing. I would think it would be better suited for bluegill, sunfish and maybe crappie. Not trying to bad mouth the Zebco 33, I had mine for 15+ years, but I don't think it's the correct tool for the job.
  22. I got to go the Norman DD 22s. My favorite use to be the Rapala DT-16's but this year the DD 22 has been the most productive. One thing though, I have had to tune each one of the DD 22's I own.
  23. Why?????????????????
  24. For me, in order 1) Fat Ika 2) GYCB Kreature 3) Zoom Lizards
  25. My favorites are 14lb Gamma and 15lb P-Line Floroclear.
