Columbia Craw

Actually the color accents are nose bleed red.

The point or focus of pitching is accuracy up to a reasonable distance. If you can be accurate and quiet from 12 to 30 feet, your are gold. Pitching while it's windy and you're trying maintain boat position is even more fun. I taught myself to pitch in 1979 when reels were not that refined. I was a back seater as I had no boat. My buddy sat down with his 5'6", hugged the shore line and made long overhead casts ahead of the boat. I took a " back bouncer" steelhead rod, cut it down from eight to seven feet and away I went. I took what was left and picked it apart and caught bass. Adapt and over come.The rest is memories.

"Are you serious Clark?"

Welcome ! You did just fine.

New species....sticker monkey

Just buy Rage stuff from Siebert Outdoors

I just like the stuff.

Update as of this morning: The 735CB was sold out quick. The other models are still in stock but the 744 and 745 are getting very low. About 300 to 400 were shipped out yesterday. BTW, if you buy multiples the shipping is a flat twenty dollars regardless if you purchase one or seven. They have big tubes I guess.

795SB is a Fury and the 805CB glass is a Champion. I didn't order any Kadens. I'm Dobyns poor already.

The news letter states there are twelve models and a limit of 100 per model is being produced. They are serialized to track them. They are warranteed. All are cosmetically correct. The anticipated MSRP will be 179.99 ish so this is a half price offer to the customer via Dobyns. Gary is looking for feed back before he makes the plunge to add anther line up. The models were not listed. This is a great opportunity. You must have to call for model options although the fury series is probably close. I'm rod poor so I'll wait to see what happens. My 805CB glass should be here today. That was fast Kev.

Champion 764CB. This model shines at 3/8 to 5/8 OZ. I know it sounds odd to recommend another 4 power but this rod is different. I have a 705CB but I would still steer you to the 764CB.

Even with my dementia I can tell you every lure, weight, jig, bag of plastics, etc. I own. Now where the heck it is will be another thing. Being a back seater and having to pack a travel bag is where things get screwy.

Each Lure is effective in the right situation. I " prefer " the spinnerbait because of it's ability get in and out of cover without hanging up and covering water quickly. In certain situations I would prefer a vibrating jig because I want to minimize the flash but add some thump and cover water. In other situations where the area is dominated by hard cover, the squarebill shines and, again, covers water effectively. Left to one choice, the spinnerbait gets the first shot. Realize this is for largemouth. When working pre spawn smallmouth, things change and the jerkbait becomes king.

703 will do all you have listed and some applications you haven't.

Spinnerbait

Thanks for sharing that story !

Best monkey yet, hands down !

It appears they added the zero adjust casting knob and matt black finish. I'm good with my current Tatula SV's.

Everyone has their preference. I don't do spinning with a jerk bait. I'm fortunate I guess (from the days of over time) that I have a Champion 704CB, 684CB and 705CB. The 704CB gets 90% of the jerkbait use. It's great for smaller top water too. Straight Flouro for me.

Great news. Buddy you have been through a trial. Let those medical professionals get you back on the mend. Prayers sent. Doug

My home lake is a 30 minute drive to the ramp. I have access to much of the lower Columbia backwaters only 20 minutes away. To get to my closest smallmouth lake is just under two hours and my favorite pool on the upper Columbia is about two and a half hours. My favorite regional lake is a solid five hours but the drive is gorgeous.

The true ZOOM Trick Worm has been a real confidence bait for me. It can be wacky rigged and produce but it shines on a 1/4 ounce shaky head. All others are strait tail finesse worms. For those who tried a density water test in your bath tubs, mine did the same in the toilet.

Outstanding color scheme. I would throw that all day long in my region.

That's the same type of smile our Min Pin makes right after he craps in your shoes.
