Columbia Craw

Evaluation and adjustment

Who said, “Your Keurig wears pink panties.”

Does anyone have experience with this product? Any opinions? Yes it’s snowing.

Rod 60-40. The technology in reels has advanced so far, you can get some serious performance for the money.

I stocked up on Berkley Flat Worms and Megabass Spark Shads via 44 Tackle Co. Deep discount.👍👍 They have Spro LJ 50’s at 6.99 but on back order.

Very cool Glenn. Don’t sit too close to the side doors on you jet.

I think I’ll just invest in hair implants.

Mike just did three of my Daiwa. He’s the man. My name is Columbia Craw and I approve this message,

Even better !

Ken is on the right track. But...... you can get the JDM version, the Daiwa Bass X for 71.37 from Digitaka shipped free. Five day delivery . This is a remarkable reel at that price point.

Who?

1/4 ounce with 2/0 hook from Susquehanna Tackle

I fish them on a football head and drag them around like a tube.

I prefer to stay current.

Daiwa Caldia 3000LT for 148.00 thru Digitaka. 👍👍👍

I like four models. Each has a unique vibration and silhouette. Luhr Jensen Speed Trap 6 th Sense Flat 75 Spro Little John Flat 50 Rapala OG Slim

Elite is a great choice. Alloy side plate and ample line capacity. I’m still

Time to splurge

I’m staying close to home, two hours or less. I want to spend some time on the lower Columbia hitting some sloughs and channels off the main River. The longer days will be in the Gorge around the Dalles. My home lake, a shallow bowl will get some attention this year. I purposely stayed off it last year. I’ll be happy with that. Fun fishing only for 2024.

For me, 2024 will be the year of liquidation.

Here’s some factors that dictate choices for me. Profile: A jig can create a big profile without a lot of actual mass. Adjust trailers to fine tune the profile whether it’s a baitfish or crayfish. T rigs tend to have smaller profiles but can be much longer when using a worm. Rate of Fall: When slow fall is what I’m looking for, a jig is the deal. You can get a slow fall with a T rig with no or small weight but you loose the benefits of penetrating cover. It’s much easier to get a fast fall rate with plastics. Penetration: Plastics get the nod when cover is heavy and snaggy, especially vegetation. I like jigs in wood however. There are jigs with screw locks however that provide bulk and more effective penetrating ability and less hang ups. Action: If I’m looking for slower subtitles a jig with the right trailer. When wiggles and waggles seem to be a triggering issue the T rigged plastic shines. Lizards, Brush Hogs and such do great. There’s also something about the flare and collapse of a jigs skirt that just lends itself in cooler water. Like Catt, both in some form 24-7-365. l like 7-3 or longer in MH, H and Extra fast. 👍

Pretty difficult to narrow down a model without knowing the specifics of what baits you throw and how you fish them. Rod technology has come far faster since the Eagle Claw Reese series. Some consideration should be given to Champion 705CB, 764CB, 805 CB, 765CB Glass and the Alpha Angler Rebound and Mag Rebound. If your budget doesn’t permit those options, the Lews KVD series of crankbait rods might be another option. There’s plenty more. Happy shopping.

Anthropometric? That must have been the concept used by Bass Pro Shops when they came out with the Power Hump.
