i love my tatula type-r for flipping and pitching in the 8.1.1 ratio i am also looking for a new rod i was looking at the mojo bass 7'4" heavy and the Lew's custom speed stick 7'4" heavy mag pitching. Edit: something i would stay away from is the abu garcia veritas i feel like the rod itself isnt built the best. i've had 2 and they both broke in under a year

thought about mentioning that as well i didn't remember they had lews until just now. the customer service is great i bought my megabass islide there the tail melted because i was stupid they replaced it no problem and also exchanged my hedgehog studios drag star because i bought the wrong handed one

going to be above 50 this aft so i might get out for some action after work even if it's only for 30 min it's worth it

i throw my weedless 68's in lily pad lanes, just above grass lines, around stumps, anything i think is going to have a big bass waiting to eat

i personally prefer vmc but i like the barbarian trebles

for me it was the strike king sexy dawg ever since then i've had an insane amount of confidence in a walking bait

went on a little trip yesterday and picked up 2 berkley cutter 110+'s 2 berkley cutter 90+'s 6 packs of vmc barbarians for a total of $35

anyone in ontario, lebaron is closing everytihng is on sale all lures and tackle is 40% off (whats left that is)

you can but i would recommend a rod with a bit more weight range realistically a range of 2-5oz is a little low if you are throwing 8" hudds i don't think it's good to always be taxing the rod with a 5oz bait if the most it can take is 5oz. something with a weight range of 2-8oz would be better

thank you that's all i needed to know

rod builders i have a question is there anyway to tell if my blank goes all the way down to the butt of the handle? i was considering sanding won some of the cork (i know huge mess) on one of my rods and i understand it will be more tip heavy but i was just wondering if it is possible

just email them i'm sure they'll send you another

i personally use the siebert fogy for my 3/8oz and 1/2oz and z-man project z if i want to throw a 3/4oz if i am fishing it over wood then i switch to a strike king rage blade. i am also going to place a nice order with mike soon i like them a fair amount they are my main bladed jig they seem to vibrate really well at slow speeds which is what i love about them. working them over grass or around it that slow really works well for me.

okay so as my season ends i am looking towards next year and what i think i can improve upon. i started the year with 7 setups and i'm now down to 5 since 2 rods broke on me. what i am looking for is a couple opinions on the setups i have and if you guys think there is anything i should be changing or maybe throwing on a different rod. Finesse: 6'6" M/F Ugly Stick Lite 5.2.1 Pflueger Purist 10 LB Spider Wire Braid Cranking: 7'0" MH/M Daiwa Balistic 5.6.1 Lew's Tournament MB Speed Spool 12 LB Sniper Flurocarbon Chatterbaits: 7'3" M/M Abu Garcia Ike 6.3.1 Shimano Citica i 15 LB Abraz-x Flurocarbon Jigs/Flipping 7'6" Abu Garcia Vendetta 7.3.1 Daiwa Tatula 100 / 8.1.1 Daiwa Tatula Type-R 15 LB Abraz-x Flurocarbon / 50 LB J Braid Big Baits: 7'6" H/MF Bass Pro Bionic Blade 7.3.1 Daiwa Tatula 100 25 LB C21 Co-Poly now i was looking to get a couple more rods specifically a 7'0" MH/F for flipping and the 6'7" Lew's Custom Speed Stick for jerkbaits and treble hook topwater. i am unsure if these are the best uses for the rods i have, what do you guys think?

lake fork magic shad, it has a paddle tail as well as the cutouts

I use both as well for me it depends on water clarity and conditions. now colour selection is a whole other topic. Rattles: if the water is more muddy then i tend to use something with rattles, this is because i find it gets hit more which is likely because it's easier for the bass to locate. Rattles also seem to do very well when the fish are being aggressive but this is likely because they are just feeding. Silent: I tend to use silent in clearer water because i feel it is more of a visual cue for bass and they are used to sight feeding anyway. i have caught fish on a silent crank in muddy or off colour water but not as well as they do on the rattling version

if no one is going to see you pick it up then just carry a rod and pick it up

these are actually one of my favourite swimbaits. i have had success on them with bass and pike. what i really love is that it will stand on bottom because of the design LC hit that one right

these are my top and bottom 3 of a few categories, now for the bottom i'm not saying they aren't good but they just didn't produce for me this year.

to any of my friends in ontario sail is currently selling bagley bang o 5 and bang o deep for $5 each

65lb power pro for T-Rigs and 15lb abraz-x for jigs

only problem i've found with it is that it doesn't suspend the best out of the package it took a little tweaking for me to get it to suspend
