    Whats wrong with using an ugly stik?

    Might need to upgrade that weight to 3/4 ounce or maybe 1 ounce flipping weight with a flipping hook and punch those mats. Heavy rod!

    Ish's Phat Frog is what your are looking for.

    I only wacky rig senkos now. I used to t-rig them weightless but they would only last 2 maybe 3 fish. I haven't pulled the trigger because I feel Like swim senkos will tear up just as easy.

    I am a chatterbait guy. I mainly fish shallow water whether it's from the bank or on a boat. They produce for me.

    How did you rig it? I only buy the 5 inch senkos, I see the swim senkos all the time but I never pull the trigger.

    You have a Mach Speed Stick which is IM6. I have the Mach II combo and the rod with the combo is IM8. @d-camarena

    I have fished 30#-50# braid. Never had a fish break me off with any of these pound tests. I only use palamor and snell knots. I have pulled everything from large pipes and large branches out of the water with 30# braid. Then only time I have experience break offs is when I get caught on something that can't be moved. I mainly used Power Pro and Suffix but have used spider wire.

    Same thing happens to me when I'm walking a spook or a frog but it casts right out with no issues. More so with the spook because I can get those walk a lot wider. I use braid so it's casts right back out with zero issues. I was watching a video where Jimmy Houston said that "you know you walking a spook correctly if you get a little loose line." But to the OP, sound like you need to keep more tension on the line or maybe it's not spoiled correctly.

    So I have a dilemna. The Shimano Curado I and the Lew's Custom Speed Spool are the same price and on sale for 40% off. Which one would you recommend, they both feel nice in my hand. The gear ratios are 7.2.1 and 7.5.1 so very similar. If I were to buy one it would go on my frog rod. What do you guys suggest? Does anybody own both of them?

    What website are you finding this stuff? Please fill me in so I can order a left hand 7.3.1

    I am curious to know what exactly the issue was with the t-wing??? I have 2 tatula type r ct reels and they work great for me. The t-wing won't cause backlashes. Were you setting the breaks correctly?
  14. LxVE Bassin
    I use 15# Trilene 100 % and I have had zero issues with my Tatula. I also have one with 50# braid and it works flawlessly as well. Call Daiwa, they will take care of you.

    There was a US National Team for bass fishing assembled of both FLW and BASS pros. The team members are Scott Martin, David Dudley, Mark Rose, David Fritts, Fred Roumbanis, James Watson, Scott Canterbury, and Lionel Botha. They have hopes of one day making bass fishing an Olympic sport as they will be traveling to South Africa to fish in a tournament against other countries. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think bass fishing has a shot at becoming an Olympic sport?

    Who votes for these awards? Colors aren't a deal breaker for me but I would be lying if I said the neon green didn't make me cringe. $100 rod with a one year warranty, I'll pass, especially with that colorway.

    I use 40# braid with a 15# mono leader
  18. LxVE Bassin
    I second that

    Do you service your reels?

  22. LxVE Bassin
    Oh wow, never heard of that before. Can you still maximize casting distance like that?
  23. LxVE Bassin
    I mostky fish ponds and my all my jigs are 3/8 and 1/2 ounces. I will give the smaller jigs a try.
  24. LxVE Bassin
    You have a pretty good selection. I live in Indiana so I guess we deal with similar waters minus the pike and Muskie that I'm sure you guys have in Minnesota. Fish those senkos weightless whether it's wacky or t rigged. Use bullet weights when t rigging the curly tail worms. In Indiana I haven't much of anything about deep diving cranks working in the reservoirs near me.

    I don't catch many pond bass on jigs. I missed a lot of them. I used to press the issue on it but I just simply switch to something else if it's not working. I have had more success with jigs in the middle to late fall.
