Columbia Craw

Sweet!

Cover water. At the end of the day my back hurts from bending over to pick up a different combo and eliminate a lure, technique or spot/area/depth/cover type. I guess what I do best is fish a process.

Clearly you don’t know my wife who needles me daily.

Call Dobyns and ask to speak with Brice. Explain your concern and he’ll get you on track.

Well, once again members here have provided a list of viable options that the OP can take into consideration. There is not a single model mentioned that is not a great product.

The Daiwa Caldia LT MQ for $148.00 from Digitaka is insane. Big Bass turned me on to this deal and it’s awesome.

I’m hoarding my last Lee Sisson balsa baits.

Blue marker only. The tips of crayfish claws are blue through the spawn on the Columbia so tubes, hula grubs and Rage Craws get a touch of blue. Even the back ends of some crankbaits get the blues, thus the pattern, Columbia Craw.

A Kracken tried to grab the boat and truck and flipped it over. That tow truck driver is taking his life in his own hands. The deputy knows the Kracken’s reach so he’s well back up the ramp.

I’ve acquired numerous hard baits and reels from members here. Consider the current MSRP and age of the bait.

Sorry guys! I was half asleep when I typed the response if that wasn’t hard to tell. The images here will clean up my foul ups. CC

I have two. Both right hand with a 6.5 a 7.2 gear ratio. The frame is graphite pressure molded poly resin carbon. Side plate are also carbon Fibre. The reel come in at around 7.2 ounces with an alloy 100 mm handle and an 11 stainless steel ball bearing system. The cast control is achieved via side spool controlled knob with clicker control and an arc of five placed magnets. The spool starts incredibly fast and the cast long. Both are very good pitchers. Ergonomics is very good. Drag is also powerful. Tolerances. Fit and finish is very impressive. I had on glitch. The cast control side plate was stuck. A frizz of of WD40 around the seam and all was good. The tolerances are tight and it’s braid friendly. Casting performance has been excellent for control and distance. They are rigid. I’ll be a crash test dummy on these. They feel great so far.

They cover the holes on my broken tail light lenses.

If Shad are present :

The annual show in February is held in Portland Oregon. It’s all salmon, trout, steelhead and Kokanee. Bass amounts to less than five percent and that includes reel reps and electronics. I worked two booths six years ago for a dealer rep buddy. What a freaking zoo. It was not a good time.

Sometimes I’ll cut the kernels off and mix a liberal amount with Pico de Gallo as a side salad or relish. Good stuff.

1994 Shimano Curado 100 Super Free.

Always boiled. Butter and sea salt. Butter and garlic salt. Mayonnaise and pepper flakes Butter mixed with Sweet Baby Ray’s applied with a pastry brush. I’m ready for ideas. Add on. Try squeezing fresh lime juice on watermelon.

There are certain models that just stick out for me. Extreme 702sf is a stellar drop shot or Ned rod. The Champion 704CB is an incredible jerk bait rod while the 705cb is a fantastic square Bill rod. The Champion 805CB is hard to beat for deep cranking. The best CB however is my favorite, the 764CB RM. The Champ 736C is a killer frog rod. The Kaden 744C is the best bang for the buck swim jig rod out there. For punching, the Xtreme 795 is the deal. And of course the do all 734C regardless of series is do anything model. These models are my must haves.

It has the 100 mm handle so another good choice.

I’m using a Tatula 200 in 6.2 for big deep divers with the 100mm handle. It casts long, has a good gear train, the wide spool helps the IPT stay consistent and the handle reduces fatigue from Bill resistance. The cost is affordable. Might be a good option.

We all have our Ah Ha moments.?

It’s possible.

Unlike my grand kids, bass will eat what’s before them where as the kiddos only want chicken nuggets and fries.

It’s an awesome bluegill imitation and can get in and out of nasty cover. The ability to fish it back and suddenly let it drop and recover elicits strikes.
