i usually pack light and bring 2: St. Croix AC70MF/Shimano Citica 200D/50lb powerpro for worms, jigs, spinnerbaits, etc. St. Croix AC66MM/Shimano Citica 100DSV/15lb Yo Zuri Hybrid for anything with trebels. sometimes i will bring my pflueger UL combo with me if i wanna have some fun w/ small bass and panfish.

yeah my citica 200D has a Malaysia sticker on it, but my 100DSV is stamped JAPAN.

THAT WAS VERY FUNNY!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

PWNED!!!!!

Cool pics. I bet you could use that kissing pic for blackmail when she gets older. pwahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!! thats funny!!! looks like you two had fun! man when those bullfrogs get so huge its freaking scary!

custom painted Bagley Baitfish:

sorry, no report yet. but when my dad gets home from work, we are going to go to this new pond we found on google earth. the pond looks promising....and its in an area that is known for big bass so i'll let you guys know how it goes later.

thanks for the good word cajun! yep i enjoy drawing bass very much and i would be as bold as to say i am good at it. i painted my avatar pic.

7lber which is GREAT for my area!!!

my boat leaks and i have tried silicone with no prevail. then i tired jbweld thinking it would solve it right quick...wrong. like gatortom said, it doesnt flex, so when you put the boat in the water and start walking around in it, the pressure makes the hull flex, but the jbweld just pops off.

good job. those are some very pretty bass.

thats a smallie dude, you can tell that the lip only goes halfway across the eye, unlike largemouths where the lip extends the eye.

that looks SWEEEET! i think it would look better if the front grip was tapered a little bit though.

Blue Fox Vibrax Minnow Spin is the greatest inline i have found. it was one of my best producers in the summer of '06. if you fish em on an UL setup in a small pond in the summer, you will pull out numerous amounts of bass, crappie, and jumbo bluegills. great lures!!!! http://www.bluefox.com/products/vibrax_minnow_spin.php i personally do not like wordens rooster tails because i can never get the darn things to spin!

great!

i'll take it after you, TheBeast, if nobody else has already claimed it.

sweet hawgs dude!

beware, its addictive http://www.shockwave.com/gamelanding/cubiz2.jsp

i cant believe nobody mentioned one of the very reasons why i feel braid is superior...NO MEMORY WHATSOEVER!!!!!! im so sick of having mono tangle to hell with just the slightest bit of slack in my line. braid doesnt do that . but the main reason i love braid is for the sensativity. it is definitley the most sensative line out there. its also got no stretch like everone else said, so its got some good hooksetting power. these three reasons (no memory, sensative, strong) are why i consider it to be a superior worm and jig line. worms and jigs often involve slack line, so no memory is great here. you also need to be able to feel for light bites and bottom contact, so sensativity is great here. the zero stretch strength is great for slamming the steel home! i use yo-zuri hybrid on my crankbait rod only because of its stretch. but i hate how coily it gets.... :-/

hmmm...best marketing techniques? anything with the words: paddle, tail, swimbait, sexy shad.... :-X i think those are just sooooo hyped up that people will buy them because everybody else is. im not saying they arent good, because i havent tried them, i just think theyre hyped.

great to see all the participation. i cant wait for my turn either! this thread REALLY needs to be a sticky...

yes it is, custom painted...but this is an entry only thread, remember?

paul that is great man! i used a similar technique to get my fish yesterday. i put my bluegill lure right in the middle of the bed and jiggled it, all the fish were nose down on it, and then the biggest one moved forward and went to suck it off the bed . bed fishing is really fun! ;D ;D ;D

yeah i forgot to mention that in my novel :. a lot of times i will find really old waterlogged brush where if you do get snagged the braches will break right off without a fuss.
