I am pretty excited to get out and try the large worms.  I am mostly a finesse guy but I am going to start trying to learn a few heavy styles.

 

Where in MD are you? Throw those worms on any of the MD Res into deep water points dragging them...and hold on.

I am south of Annapolis and am getting into big worms with an eye to use them at Rocky Gorge this season.   Most of the reports from last year seem to say that 1/2oz slow rolled spinners, lipless cranks, and big worms seem to be the ticket for big bass there.  I am going to focus on RG this year as my primary bass lake, might make a thread about it later to look of advice about the gear and tactics I am looking at using.

[Scarborough817]

Hit BPS with a $25 gift card in my pocket and a song in my heart. Came back with 2 swim jigs (gonna try those for the first time this year), some bigger spinner blades, a pack of weedless finesse hooks and a pack of rage tail 4in. craws. Only went 10 bucks over my gift card.

SO I have read on here that the new owner(s) of North Star baits are doing just a good of job quality wise as the last owner. Placed a small order to check them out and I have to say NS is still producing high quality jigs

I love how North Star leaves the hook eye super clean (loving the black & blue)

Been watching this guy. I'm thinking about one of the Lew's reels he's using. Any one out there know much about it. 

 

I personally love Lew's reels, they're the only brand I plan to ever by again.

Pretty sure I just bought 5 packs of Biffle-Os instead of 3 lol

[robster80]

Replenished some of my stock. Amazing how I can walk into bass pro just to kill an hour before work and walk out with a much lighter wallet...every d**n time.

Nice to know that I'm not the only one with tackle issues.
