  1. I’d recommend the bamboo ones. Free Fly makes a really nice hoodie that I find to be comfortable on the 90+ degree days. I think 6th Sense came out with a bamboo sun hoodie too that mimics what Free Fly came out with that’s a cheaper alternative
  2. They work and I do like them but I still tend to revert to ballheads for my swimbaits. The line through supposedly helps with keeping the fish from throwing the hook but I don’t find that being a major problem with a single hook bait unless I’m using a heavy jighead, which is rare - I tend to use a 1/8th oz.
  3. Well… anyone out there bama-strolling?
  4. Anyone gonna be at the tourney this weekend?
  5. any standout models in it ya like best?
  6. d**n I was hoping the spinning reel seat/grip from the Ultima would trickle down. Looks like we’ll have to wait another cycle? Hopefully they add in a 276 spinning model over time if not it’s the time to pick up some more before they’re all sold out
  7. I really like those Midst jigheads - I’ve found the weed guard to be surprisingly weedless as it is stiffer than most. You’ll be hammering them with it and those 4” Flash J’s!
  8. That looks nice! What hook did you use?
  9. He pulled out the truck stick on Levis!
  10. Weedless dropshot marabou and bucktail fly -
  11. My initial take at a bluegill hair jig -
  12. Fought off the winds in the kayak today to land this 5lber off the edge of a weed line in 10’ FOW before a drop off -
  13. Got a solid one out there today, 54 degree water temps. Got it on a squarebill running over the top of the grass in 10’ of water -
  14. A 3" swimbait with a ballhead is always on - usually rotating between a Spark Shad, Largo Shad, and a 3.25" Jenko Booty Shaker. Sometimes I'll use the Okashira Screwhead to switch it up vs the normal ball head. They smash fish!
  15. It would need to be a certified scale but even if everything looked good on camera I don’t think they would accept it, unfortunately. A few bad apples that would game the system would make it too hard to police accurately.
  16. d**n, I wanted to try one out when they came out but have held the monkey off since I don’t need another jig specific rod - now I know one’s gonna end up in my cart during the upcoming iced up lake season because of this specific comment ? What all do you use it for?
  17. Trying out the new Daiwa Airity to compare it to the 23 Vanquish. I got the 2000 size and my god is it light at 145 grams. I have it paired with a 7’4” Rebellion and the combo weighs 8.7oz - we’ll see how it compares!
  18. Trying out the new Daiwa Airity to compare it to the new Vanquish. It pairs really nicely with my Daiwa Rebellion -
  19. It’s a sick stick! I’ve found it really versatile so far too. What reel did you pair it with?
  20. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!
  21. Anyone here fish up on Lake Geneva in the fall? I’m making a trip up there next week and I’ve never been fishing there before, was thinking of starting in Williams Bay. Any tips would be much appreciated!
  22. Some more mini baitfish imitating goodies for the fall -
  23. My new combo - Megabass P5 Addermine with a C3000SDHHG Vanquish:
  24. I got it out on the water this morning, I really liked it. I've never really used one so I thought it would feel awkward but it didn't.
