i've been using the 7'3" Ike M/M this has been my crank rod which i have absolutely loved. the tip is sensitive enought for cranking and telling what my bait is running into but there is still a decent amount of backbone for when i need to pop a lipless out of the grass

most will probably say the wiggle wart, i personally like the excalibur xr and xrk series which the mold is now made by booyah but still not the same. i also like the excalibur xcs series as well.

while there is a rhythm to walking baits sometimes i think it's the little change or imperfection in the walking that trigger bass to strike also not to bring another question into this but for those wondering what to throw when trying to cover an area when the water is choppy i throw a buzzbait

any idea how deep these bad boys would dive?

i'm in but i know it might suck for someone to ship to me

for me poppers are fished when the water is a little more choppy and for a specific target, spooks are for calm water and for searching an area

storm twitch stick? might require a fair bit of tuning though sorry just saw the part about the twitch sticks

thanks tom

okay so i have found a sale on the abu garcia vertias winch series in the 7'11" H/M i'm wondering if anyone has ever used it how they like it and if i is a good rod for throwing 6xd's, arashi deep 18's and that kind of stuff thanks in advance guys

This year my most productive baits were a chatterbait fished around laydowns as well as the ned rig. i also did well on a buzzbait and t rigged worms

i love my daiwa tatula type r 8.1:1 and i also love my daiwa ballistic rod

my basic plan for 2017 is to find out more about my home lake. i think it's time i invest in some electronics and try to find out about the structure on my lake, i also want to focus on throwing baits more instead of retying so much or switching what rod is in my hand.

if you have an old broken rod turn it into a line spooler instead of buying one i can post pics of mine tonight when i get home

a little package showed up at the door last night i spooled it up with 15lb mono

my t3 ballistic came in over the weekend

chatterbaits are quite different than spinnerbaits and one of my favourite baits, i agree with brett hite in his way of thinking that a chatterbait is more similar to a squarebill than a spinnerbait, but i also think they are similar to a lipless crank mainly because of the way they are fished. The thing about chatterbaits is they are meant to imitate a baitfish profile but have a vibrating blade attached to the head, this blade gives off vibration so the bass can locate it a little easier. the main place people throw a chatterbait is in and around the grass, they can also be fished around laydowns if you are fishing the right bait (sk rage blade). chatterbaits are something that are normally fished slow but quick retrieves can work as well (if the bait stays down in the water column. one of the main things with chatterbaits which is similar to squarebills, is deflection, if a squrebill hits a rock and deflects you normally get a reaction bite. if a chatterbait is in the grass and you rip is out and you normally get a reaction bite. i also fish them on the same rod a 7' MH/M rod i feel that normally when you don't feel the vibration of the chatterbait blade you have a fish on or some grass fouled up the blade so i tend to set the hook and for me it has helped me land roughly 95% or the fish that hit it. now most of this information is a combination of brett hite's philosiphy and my own findings and personally my way of thinking is why not listen to someone who has probably one the most of his money because of that bait alone.

it will go live in roughly 21 min i believe the prices are updated for eligible products

do you have an example?

picked up a little something last night for 110 shipped

the bomber 7a or 8a have similar profiles

I ended up picking up 3 of each colour they had just because they were a good price and I figured stocking up on a good hunting balsa square bill wasn't a bad thing

bagley balsa squarebills are on sale at canadian tire for any canadians @Attila not sure if you're interested

couldn't help myself @Master Bait'r found these 2 for $9.00 a piece

looks more like a wave worm tiki craw though i know it isnt

Okay so we all knows what's approaching and i'm sure we all have some gear we're looking to get what is on everyone's list? personally i'm looking to stock up on all my terminal tackle 20 1/6oz ned heads 20 1/6oz weedless ned heads 25 3/0 gama offset round bend worm hooks 25 4/0 gama offset round bend worm hooks 8 4/0 gama heavy cover flipping hook 8 5/0 gama heavy cover flipping hook 25 4/0 gama superline offset ewg hook 25 5/0 gama superline offset ewg hook 10 #1 vmc spinshot hooks 10 #2 vmc spinshot hooks 12 #1 roboworm lighwire rebarb hooks 12 #2 roboworm lightwire rebarb hooks 3 packs of 1/8 dropshot weights 3 packs of 1/4 dropshot weights 3 packs of 3/8 dropshot weights 4 packs of 1/4 oz tungsten 4 packs of 3/8 oz tungsten 6 packs of 1/2 oz tungsten 1 bass mafia bait coffin 3700
