Barely fished this rod (maybe 5 times over the years). Swimbaiting just isn’t my thing. Asking $175 + shipping, OBO. Pics available on request. Thanks!

Thanks! Just got a great deal on an slx combo on Facebook marketplace that came with a 7' 3" MH extra fast for $65. It should be perfect!

Thanks! What action would you recommend?

I have a couple set ups and am wondering what y'all think I should get next. I know most would say to get a crankbait set up but I'm no the biggest fan. Is there anything else I should get or are my bases covered?

What about jerkbaits? I love fishing them too. What color and depth level should I get? Again, thank you guys for all your help.

Have you guys tried spybaits? I love fishing them. What color do recommend if you have? Thank you guys for all your help!

I don't know who I'll be going with as of yet. I am still in the process of convincing my dad to drive me to Ohio and where my uncle will then take me to your state up north (apologies, but as an Ohio State fan I can't bring myself to say the M word). I just bought $50 worth of neds and jigheads for them recently in about every color imaginable. Thanks, I'll make sure to bring some! Any particular brand?

Hello! I will be fishing Lake St Clair this April around the 2nd or 3rd week. What would you recommend for baits? I will be using Marcels Guiding Service (Marcel cannot, but he has another guide that is available).

I wish I could use that as an excuse, but I was the one in the front... lol I'd hit a target, then he'd tell me to watch him. He'd go for the exact same target and pull something out. It seemed like magic.

Yeah. Problem is that was my last tourney so I'll be stuck on the bank until next May it is definitely something I will work on!

All jokes aside, I need help finding small smallmouth. I'm stuck from shore, and the majority of fish seem around 15-18 inches where I am, and I'd like to throw one in my fish tank (yes, I know it is a legally grey area). Do the 12 inchers go to seperate spots than their older siblings? Thanks!

This certainly makes me feel better I was getting pretty frustrated because we couldn't keep the fish he had caught. lol

This makes perfect sense, the only thing was that he literally only made 10 casts and caught a fish on every other cast. He was there to show my partner and I (this was a high school tourney, so 2 anglers and a boat captain who owns the boat) what to do and put us on fish. He would show me where to fish and would actually cast after I had hit the hole. My bait went infront of those 5 fish before his did. Maybe I'm just very unlucky.

In my last tournament, my boat captain took us flipping in weeds for largemouth. I am almost strictly a smallmouth fisherman, so flipping is way out of my comfort zone. My boat captain was catching fish after fish, and I was getting nothing. I tried watching my line, tightening spool tension, etc. The only possibility I could think of was that I wasn't feeling the bites. My boat captain said the only possibility was that I wasn't getting bit, because I'd know if I did get bit. This guy knows what he is talking about, but I just can't imagine him catching 5 fish in 10 casts and me flipping for over an hour without anything. What do you guys think?

I'd like to thank everyone on this forum for all the help they give everyone. It's helped me step my game up so much, and I just wanted everyone to know that I really appreciate it!

Thanks! Shot him an email too.

Thank you! My next swimbait purchases will be a couple of those!

shhh... don't tell anyone but Cabin Creek Spider Parts on a NedLock jig head catches any smallie around. My problem is finding them...

Jeez! I thought I was getting such a good deal (it was $25), but I guess I'll stick with with the S-Wavers. Figured they would feel and act cheaper than the Onimasu

Has anyone fished the Onimasu? It looks great. I have a E6X swimbait rod rated for 1/2-2, so I think it could handle the 2.75 ounce swimbait.

Thanks! I shot him an email.

Every summer I go out to Ohio and spend a week in Columbus. I was thinking about getting a guide on Erie or St. Clair. Has anyone had good luck with guides out there? And bait wise, I haven't spent any money in like a week on lures, so I think I should stock up ? what is recommended?

Lol. Idk it might become a 7 if my uncle keeps bragging about the 6 he caught
