  1. If you let the back seat up you can lay the rods across the center console with handles under the left rear seat and most likely get 8' rods in there. That works in my Chevrolet but is no good if you have a passenger that wants to ride up front. They can always ride in the right rear seat.?
  2. Another Revo Toro Beast 60 or Stradic Ci4+ 2500
  3. Trick worm, Fluke, and Senko are three that consistently produce for me. The Ned Rig is a good lure also.
  4. Watched a couple of the googan videos and that was enough.
  5. Yes I've fished it 8 - 10 trips. Caught a few schooling LM, stripers, and hybrids. It cast great flying tail first. Walking it is very easy and the hooks are good. I've thrown it on 65 lb braid and 25 lb CXX and it performs fine on either with no fouling on the front hook. You will need a swimbait rod and a reel that'll hold enough line.
  6. I like mine.
  7. I used to but my doctor made me stop. Handlining buzz baits will wear out your shoulders.?
  8. Go in the middle of the night and fish 13' and shallower.
  9. I enjoy both also. I fish once a week with a friend that just wants to catch bass. When I go alone I'm slinging big swimbaits and that's definitely not a number producing technique.
  10. Goodluck retrieving your reel and I hope your uncle is ok. Ten bad trips can be easily forgotten by one tremendous day. I myself had a great day being the net man for my partner. I caught one while he caught 11 and I'm good with that. I joke and tell him I've got more fishing days left because he's 10 years older
  11. I buy a 2 year Sportsman license. It covers everything but the Federal Duck stamp & Alligator tag. Set the alarm in my phone calendar one week prior to the expiration date.
  12. I fish braid to 6lb to 25lb fluorocarbon depending on conditions. Open water light line. Rocks get 17lb and up.
  13. Not a Daiwa guy. Love my Shimanos. But if I'm flipping or throwing frogs with heavy braid I'm using my Revos. The 65 lb braid and strong drag helps stop them from running under the pads/weeds/trees. Revo toro beast is too much reel unless you're throwing big baits. I agee with BassWhole! that 10 lbs of drag for stripers is plenty. Just saw your last post. Goodluck with your Tatula. Lots of guys use and like them.
  14. I haven't got into the hard bluegill baits. The bass I chase have a strong preference for shad and blueback herring.
  15. Pat Cullen. He caught over 1,100 10+ lb bass.
  16. I'd make it my loaner reel for my rodless buddies and get pictures. They'll have their own by the next trip.
  17. Curado 200k or Curado 70 will likely be a noticeable upgrade.
  18. I use small neddle nose pliers. One side of the pliers on the center of the E-clip and the other on the other side of the rod/pin I'm putting it on. Just squeeze. Offers more control than trying to push it on. Hope that makes sense. I remove them with a pick while covering escape with my finger.
  19. I'd throw a popping frog. Walk it and pop it. It'll pull big girls. I would also start keeping and eating those dinks .
  20. No. What exactly disturbed you sir? ?
  21. I've caught fish on every lure in my arsenal except my swim jigs. I've tried all weights, trailers, speeds, lines, etc. Not giving up.
  22. Take the reel off the rod and expose the reel seat to bright sunlight for four hours. You need to recharge the reel.?
  23. Abu Garcia Revo Toro Beast 60 HS
  24. Seaguar Red label is all I use for my fluorocarbon applications. I can buy local and meets all my needs.
  25. Did you go with a 24 volt system to keep everything symmetrical? Very nice! I like.
