Columbia Craw

Dobyns Kaden Travel 712SF.

Look at Reno 5 Orra Winch. 5:4-1 and long handle. Centrifugal brakes. There are a couple positive reviews. FYI

Daiwa has a 5.5 to 1 in the Zillion and Tatula 150 . I have one of each and like both.👍👍

I’ve purchased two rods based on YouTube information. Done with that.

Brain freeze on both parties.

Tackle Direct has them listed in that color for both 4.5 and 6 inch.👍

1972 Terry Basser with an Evenrude 60 hp and a Shakespeare 17 lb thrust hand control trolling motor. I did a rebuild of the front deck and gunnels. I reinforced it to accommodate a 45 lb MinnKota, repainted the top cap, new seats and carpet. That has been the starter boat for more guys than I recall. Sadly it sits in the middle of an acre of blackberry briars. I have many wonderful memories in that boat.

Sieberts has a limited edition Sniper jig with the old school rubber skirts on sale for 3.50 and wire tied. Only two colors available but they are the right ones. Put a Zoom Critter Craw on these and you’re good to go.

I remember my first Bandit 100. You ordered them by mail and got five for 12.99. I got Tennessee Shad. The chartreuse blue back is still catching them. Tom is right.

Back in the 70’s you could buy jigs in 12 pack bags or on staple cards for 69 cents each. Bronze hooks that were tiny and nylon rope type material for brush guards. Stanley jigs had the greatest impact with a plastic Y guard, multi colored heads and dual color skirts. They ran 99 cents each on the early eighties. The fact that you can get an Owner or Gamakatsu hook, designed for jigs, a designed head, 3-D eyes, multi colored skirt in dual materials and wire tied for about five bucks is amazing. I absolutely love Sieberts jigs. Buy one and you’ll see why. As for going cheap, I fish rocky snaggy, eat jigs all up and down the Columbia. I fish Hula Grubs on football heads I buy from a local guy by the 100 count. But that’s grub fishing.

I need to go more. That’s why I ordered a case of Metamucil on Amazon.

I would encourage you to look att the NFC Edge Delta NEO 755-1. It has a very unique action that is slower in the tip but has surprisingly great power. If you throw 6 inch Mag Drafts, this model is really good. I even throw 1 1/4 ounce deep crankbaits on it and it does that very well. I’ll have to post a photo later.

Smallmouth. They pull.

Turd baits

The only person who needs to know the full content of my tackle is my insurance agent.

Kneel and Reel. Back in the early eighties Pail Elias won the Classic by getting his Normans Deep Little N an extra two feet by plunging his rod in the water. I bought a Lews Kneel & Reel rod. That was a bust.

Arguably the best baitcaster ever produced. My buddy is a steelhead guide and begged me to sell him mine ten years ago. He still fishes them.

I have two. You’ll love it. Now my cataract surgeries are done I bought myself regular polarized sunglasses. One pair for driving and a pair for fishing. 👍👍

I watched a YouTube video and a prominent Megabass dealer commented the Orochi XX is gone and the X10 is filling that spot. No further elaboration.

I happy to say my memory……::::::

I have the one piece and based on that blank action the ferrol location shouldn’t impact the flex much if at all. It should fill your needs needs nicely.

I would rather be patient and hold on for the majority of sales and purchase the proven tackle. The sales have become pretty predictable and timing those discounts can save you some money.

Bass Resource is like a membership to the Jelly of the month club. It’s the gift that keeps on giving the whole year long Clark.

I’m in Tom’s camp. The 5/6 powers in a fast action. I do have a dedicated football jig rod for dragging that is a bit lighter.

Looking for these. PM if you have some to part with or any leads to locate them outside of eBay. Doug
