  1. Nice jigs! I needed a few Plano 3601 boxes (love them- I can fit double the boxes in any given tackle bag) and that ballooned into a $120 order from TW. I caught 3 PB bass in the last 2 days; all on spinnerbaits, and I have decided I quite like spinnerbaits and don't have nearly enough.

    Grip/scale

    I use almost the exact same setup as A-Jay. Fish Grip Jr. coupled with a $6 fish/luggage scale from Amazon. Works beautifully every time, and I really love the Fish Grip Jr.- a solid grip without damaging the fish's jaw.
  3. I'll get in line after buzzed bait for your excess tackle, bigbill.
  4. I'll use a leader on my MH rod with 65 lb braid (usually use 10lb fluorocarbon for the leader) if I'm fishing in clear water or not heavy cover. Same for drop shot with the spinning rig that has 15 lb braid.
  5. Amazing fish. You're clearly onto something!
  6. I have just crossed the threshhold of owning more tackle than I can comfortably carry while fishing. Now I need to figure out some form of storage for stuff I leave behind and a good system to pick out what I need for the trip.
  7. I started right out with braid and don't regret it. It is easier to pick out backlashes and I find it doesn't backlash nearly as much line when it does. With braid backlashes are a few yards, with mono or copolymer it seems like half the spool every time.
  8. Go Team Lews! Great choice. That's an outrageous price for a fantastic reel.
  9. No but I maybe should. I'd like to perform routine (yearly) basic cleaning and oiling on my reels. I only have 6 setups, covering everything from UL spinning to fly fishing to bass fishing to surf fishing.

    Tw Sale

    Great strategy right there!!

    Tw Sale

    Is it usually pretty good?

    Tw Sale

    Do any Tackle Warehouse veterens around know when their next sale is likely to take place? I assume they're on a roughly regular schedule, and I have a number of items to order.
  13. On the reel? Don't you mean the rod guides?
  14. Nice fish! Any day out on the water is better than none!
  15. A bag of Z-Man lizards. Not much but $3 at Walmart so I said why not. Zoom isn't even usually that cheap.
  16. I've been using it for any treble hooked lure, topwater and cranks. Seems to work fine so far.
  17. Congrats! Looks like Tackle Tour agrees with you...
  18. Groan... Fooled me.
  19. And boy am I! Paired it up and made a few practise casts this evening. Amazing combo. I think if I'd known the Tournament MB would be so much smoother I wouldn't have gone with the Speed Spool for my first combo.
  20. I have and use an LFS, and I just bought an MB recently. I paid $111 for the MB on ebay; seems to be the best place to get them. Time will tell I guess but it seems like a super nice reel.
  21. I have one *** Black 1st gen, MH Fast and I really like it. I have a 2nd gen *** waiting for me at home today (I hope) That I can't wait to try out either! The Tatulas look nice, but I am a cork handle guy.
  22. I have to say I like the Booyah buzzbait fairly well too. I've found white outfishes black for me, pretty much all the time.
  23. I really like P-Line braid myself.
  24. Spooled up the Lews Tournament MB and am eagerly awaiting the *** Black Medium cranking rod! Been throwing a lot of treble lures recently so I can't wait to try it out with proper tackle.
  25. Zoom or Berkley Powerbait are my two first picks, but I'm not terribly partial.
