I've used the Menace or other beaver styles but hooked on so the appendages are sideways.

Boom! Spinnerbait or chatterbait..... Then a nice big jig......screen out the little bass............

Spinnerbait conditions I'd start with that......or a jig amongst the wood. Not spinnerbait conditions I'd go with a chatterbait. Clear water, which I doubt, I'd use an underspin....... Can you tell I like jigs and their relatives!

I like them completely vertical as I'm taking them out of the water to unhook the bass. LOL

You're messing with us. You already know the first answers will entail......size, depth, vegetation......... But I always have a jig on one rod and a spinnerbait, chatterbait, or swim jig on another.

I'm loving the 3700 Edge thins. It's forcing me to bring less tackle in my kayak... But I have four of them, one terminal, and two of the regulars.......so not so limited......lol

I would use 30.

I was going to say the same thing regarding shad.........I've caught ton's of bass using shad colors in waters with no shad. More than any other pattern. I would bet that 90% of my hardbaits are a shad variation. People give way to much power of deductive reasoning to a fish.

I order from Amazon, just not off brand stuff that I've never touched in person.

One of my best bass was caught using a a t-rigged craw amongst the shoreline wood. After I'd clear the wood I'd reel it back to me as fast I could for no other reason than to get the next cast in. I was reeling so fast that I swear the craw was skimming along the surface when the bass hit....I doubt I could have reeled any faster than I was.

I have the GT54 and have seen video's of side by side comparison with the GT56 on YouTube. The video's make me want to spend money.......ugh......

I haven't used it yet but spooled three reels with Smackdown and was shocked at how smooth it looked and felt.

Hey, you stole my answer!

I to with mostly chartreuse which is bright, and another that is a darker bluegill color. That's all I've ever needed.

Well I don't bring 15 but as I've said I bring 6-8 and in five years I've been out in rougher winds/waves than I'd prefer but have never come close to tipping. I'm more worried about dropping the one in my hand.

I lost a Jackhammer to a medium sized musky right at my kayak..........when it cut the line I didn't yell "I just lost a muskie" I yelled "I just lost a $15 Jackhammer".

I fish a lot of clear water........underspins kick butt in that clear water.

For me....... Dropshot, wacky is slow fishing Jigs, t-rigs, jerkbaits, slop frogging, is moderate fishing Spinnerbaits, swim jigs, chatters, cranks, is fast fishing.

I hear you on that. I have a few places I fish that if I even THINK treble hook it gets snagged while it's still in the box......lol

One medium/moderate Two medium heavy/fast's One Heavy/fast

Agreed,,,,,,,,,,it's a moving bait.........I use a very short leader. Maybe three feet. The knot never comes close to the reel.

Curious as well............

I love their crankbaits.....especially the Wake 80. It is a great bait that I often use in place of a buzzbait if vegetation allows. Not a fan of their plastics though.

I wonder if OP will be back...........

I just lowered my transducer under my Bonafide pod with a spacer to see if I was missing some clarity last season. The pod is constructed so that it can pivot up on the front hinge. I am going to screw two eyelets on kayak so that I can lift the front of the pod up and slide a pin in to keep it up high enough to protect the transducer when I launch and land.
