tander

Put my boat in the shop several weeks ago for some minor work done. Only in shop 3 days. Lots better than 30 or 4 weeks.

Like that!! Got to go me me one.

If you ask 30 people for recommendations for a rods and reels, you will get 30 different answers. Although not as personal, I would rather get a gift card and I can pick the rods and reels I want.

Use size 30 Pfleuger. Perfect size for me.

I have used PP for years. I use the 10# test on my spinning outfits and 50# test on my frog/jig rod. There may be some braid better, but I haven't had any trouble with PP.

Love the 1.5, going to pick up some of these for sure. Going to be a killer in that stain to muddy water,

No matter how long you fish, you can still learn, especially on this forum.

Happy wife, happy life. And remember, you can either be right or be happy, but you can't be both.

Hate to hear this, I have 4 Pfluegers, 3 are the XT Supreme and one is the limited edition President, all great reels. I wonder if the XT Supreme is still quality reel? I am looking at getting one more but might have to look at the Diawa,s

Thanks for the link A-Jay. just ordered one!!

The older I get, the more I can't take the cold. This southern boy is freezing, come on spring!!!

I wouldn't get caught up in the different shapes and sizes. For that matter, color. Gerald Swindle said if he used a brown jig, he would use a black trailer, if he used a black jig, he would use a brown trailer. Don't think he was completely telling the truth but you get the message. Try it and see what the fish want.

Have to raise my hand on this one!!!

I use to use FC for all my cranking, I used fiberglass rods then. I am going to try mono now that I changed to graphite rods. I will use 20# test Sunline Natural for shallow and 12# for deeper cranks.

I got a few left. I put it in front of a Crazy Shad when bass are schooling on top, catch 2 at a time.

I only throw 3 colors, semi clear (we don't have clear) I use green pumpkin, stain to muddy I use Junebug. When I can't decide between June Bug or Green Pumpkin, I throw PBJ.

Never had a problem with TW, also got my tracking #. I think they do a great job considering the number of orders they get and the condition we are in.

Hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving!!!

Same here. I caught more on a Bandit than any other crankbait made. It is also the cheapest,

I believe there is something to using scents. Like others, I use MegaStrike and Pro Cure. I have seen plenty times when I added a scent I caught fish, maybe it was the scent or not. Anyway, I going to keep on using it because I think it does make a difference.

We really can fish year round in Mississippi. Most of the time January is the only month I don't fish, our coldest month.

I really could get by with 2 lures, a Ned bait and a crank bait.

I had done this years ago but forgot about it. Went out and tuned it, it was off some.

I use yellow braid on my spinning rigs. I change them every 2 years only because the yellow fades some. After a year I just take the braid off and reverse it so I will have fresh looking braid.
