i'm not really a fan of freedom heads. nothing against them i just don't see the advantage to it especially on a chatterbait

i've caught a brick it had a wire attached to it and that's what i snagged

fluro is a little hard to get used to i find you need to really feather your spool properly to get it to cast right. it will take practice but it is worth it. the only advice i have it back your spool with mono so you aren't using straight flouro

better idea wrap a little bit of solder around the hooks on the belly right before they go into the frog

i've never trimmed a siebert skirt or weed guard and i have never had an issue

daiwa td minnow if you can find them

ya i've had 2 and the legs got ripped off first blowup even though i added extra glue

so nessy is real

chatterbaits and swimjigs are the best around grass for me. i find it hard to beat slow rolling a chatterbait over the top of the grass and occasionally popping it a bit by twitching your rod tip.

i might have to just make sure i swap those hooks out

what did they take?

they are actually a lot of fun to fish just wish i didn't lose my slender pointer on friday night

i would pick up either one zman project z and one strike king rage blade or one siebert fogy and one strike king rage blade either black and blue, green pumpkin or a shad pattern all of mine are fished on a 7ft mh/f with a 6.4.1 reel and 15lb abraz-x

well ship it up to me then i'll destroy it for you

these 2 beauties just showed up at the office i may replace the hooks with something a little smaller but they definitely look awesome they are 5" flat sided cranks

i've only just started seeing them locally i'm not really a fan of their plastics so i'm a little hesitant to try their hard baits though the 2 really have nothing to do with each other

i didn't bring anything else i made my self fish it

i already dont want to i'm going to leave one tied on most of the time i think

no pics but i caught a 3 lb pike last night on a Lucky Craft slender pointer

with the weather here in the north east lately things have finally opened up so i went out to throw a jerkbait and build some confidence in it. so i'm throwing a Lucky Craft slender pointer mr 112 to a spot that is roughly 5'-6' deep from the bank. slowly twitching waiting about 10-15 seconds between twitches and i sped it up a little and immediately got hit i know it was a pike by the way it hit but i'm still stoked to get my first jerkbait fish, he got all 3 hooks and was about 3 lbs. the rest of the time was spent throwing the same bait to similar areas, no luck but still a good night

i own daiwa, abu, shimano and bps personally i love my tatulas but the citica is so d**n comfortable it's hard to beat as a cranking reel. but for flipping and pitching nothing is better to me than a tatula

it looks like an abu revo premier too

only problem i find with the tatula is it isn't the most comfortable reel to palm so it might not be the best for frogging

i love my 7'3" medium moderate ike rod

frog for topwater, flipping a jig into heavy cover or wood and swiming a chatterbait
