I can’t speak for Catt but the fish that are loafing deep in the summer will move up to creeks and flats in the fall to eat heavily for the winter, then they’ll move deep again for winter, then they’ll move up again for prespawn and spawn, then they’ll move out to secondary points for post spawn, then they’ll be deep again for summer.

Never even knew there was an up or down.

So rich people get special treatment from you and poor people do not. I mean if you’re going to bring up morals…

Exponentially? It’s a very niche market and off the webs, which most bass anglers are not on, hardly anyone even knows about It.

Not sure what the hassle of shipping is. It’s very easy. Also I price the rod for what I want for It then say plus shipping. So no profit loss. This only works if you’re selling a higher end rod that someone can’t get locally for the same price. No one is going to pay shipping on a $50 rod.

I put on forums. When It sells I either use a rod tube I already have or ask the local tackle store for one, which they give me free. I package then go to usps and they ship It for $28. Easy

Worst picture of all time but we won a little evening tournament today. 5-8pm on the Brazos river. $250 ?

Luckily I’ve never had a problem. I’m not good at keeping my mouth shut. A few weeks ago though a guy was weedeating his yard and as I was cruising by he yelled to me that there was about 6 black bass cruising under his dock walkway. I was at 2 fish in the livewell. 3 casts later I had my limit! All 2 pounders. He and I were both pretty happy.

Agreed

IMO some bass anglers around here use too light of line. I talk to people all the time at my tournaments on our rocky, submerged tree lakes that say they broke off multiple times on bass that day. What were they using? 8lb line throwing wacky. Yeah no wonder they wrapped you up and broke you off.

Falcon Expert Amistad XH rated up to 3oz. I use It for deep heavy jigs and punching. I have a lot of rods rated up to 1.5 and 2oz. I also prefer a heavier powered rod. It would be nice if those saying there’s no standard in Rod powers (which everyone knows) would actually give their rods rating. Doesn’t help anything to say there’s no standard in powers but I throw a 4 power. Or there’s no standard but I throw a 7’3” heavy. Ok lol

K and k customs for sure. No tax, free shipping.

I would never use a medium with a Chatterbait.

Nope. Missed It

They do not have aluminum gears and you can change a handle really cheaply. Just pointing out that you can certainly own a Metanium for less than $200 difference like you said. More like $50. Also, I can’t tell the difference in 90mm and 100mm handle at all.

I never knew this!

Do you have a link?

I’ve learned a lot with livescope. Like not to waste time with most bait balls. A lot recently I’ve seen bait everywhere. My 2D sonar shows the bait but also seems to show arches that would indicate bigger fish around the bait. My Livescope shows the bait ball intact moving around and clearly not getting hammered on by anything substantial.

Always this (or heavier) for me.

You should do some research on YouTube real quick. Very easy and good skill to have.

Let me introduce you to jdm, my friend. https://www.digitaka.com/item/5/4/2/4969363041128

My daughter caught a 5lber when she was about 14. First thing literally out of her mouth was “can we keep It!” That fish was delicious.
