I still use ambassadeur 4600s, and 5000s. I have several of each, one is from the 60s I think. Caught a 43” gar with it last summer that was peeling drag (65lb braid) and jumping like a marlin. I checked the drag after the fight and i could barely pull line with my hand.
Had a fun Saturday with a shadow rap, my buddy even beached his boat below a dam and started walking around catching smallies. I also found a chatter bait in a tree
I tend to use one under 3” . I’ve even used the 1” for panfish and a big smallmouth always seems to find it. I use them on round jig heads with open hooks 100% of the time
Ive done that many times in south Alabama, I've got video of a 10-12 footer swimming right by the boat. They show no signs of wanting to crawl into your boat, although the small ones will chase any lure over and over
I can't believe there have been multiple votes for paddle tail swimbaits. The number of fish I've caught on sassy shad type baits is far too many to count . Anything from creme to keitech will produce if the tail moves. You do get a dud every once in a while, use those to drop on crappie and hold still
@volzfan59, what takes you to Arkansas? Someone was just tested positive in Knox county, and I completely forgot that I talked to a customer that just returned from Africa........
Our laws are similar, you can't get a BUI without a motor but you can still get a PI. You can drink beer and drive a motor boat, but they will check you. I know a guy that got arrested driving a pontoon boat at .03, charges were dropped. They err on the side of caution
