I'm not crazy about the line tie, wish it was closer to the nose.  C-Rig, save some tackle for the rest of us  Go with the VMC Boxer Head. A much better option in IMO for the exact reason you stated about the line tie. I also like the shape of the head better as well. Still the same quality VMC though. 1 1 Quote

I see it as a challenge, like some people try to use the lightest weight line to catch big fish, I try to catch fish with the least amount of money. 1 Quote
Flatrock Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 My living room looks like a hurricane went thru it with tackle scattered everywhere, tackle boxes and plastic organizers stacked here and there from trying to rearrange tackle into some sort of order... You know, grubs and jigs in one and worms in another, spinners in the tackle box and one box totally dedicated to cat fishing....  And its all y'all's fault... !   Starting a thread like this and expecting people not to feed the monkey..   I mean buying a boat was wonderful, but a man NEEDS more fishing stuff to throw at these fish I can't seem to catch....  Well at least I'll look good trying  ?   Now to clean the livingroom... sure wish I had a lil woman that could move everything to the boat for me  ?  1 Quote

WVU-SCPA Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Not a lot of hope for catching as bass on these, but I would love to see one try.  A local fishing legend passed away in 2018, his estate sale was a few weeks ago. The amount of gear he collected over the years was truly unbelievable.  His primary target was large muskie and he was very skilled at catching them.  2 1 Quote
Abby Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Those bulldawgs are killer for muskies....They make a smaller one that my buddy has caught a few pig bass on... Quote

We have a semi-local lake that only has muskie and smallmouth in it (in terms of predator/game fish) and my buddy who muskie fishes catches 18-22" smallmouth all the time on his 8-12" muskie baits. Quote

GReb Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I spend a lot of $$$ at academy and and frequent multiple stores. I’ve NEVER found a deal like that before though lol. That’s highway robbery Quote
Troy85 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I stopped at BP the other day. After hearing so much love for War Eagle Spinner baits, I finally decided to give them a try. I picked up a few 1/4oz, I even bought a gold one because so many people here raved about that color. Then i made the mistake of wandering a few isles over and spotted the Roboworms. 1 Quote

Not surprised at all. Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted January 18, 2019 Super User Posted January 18, 2019 Almost the last of my shipments - just waiting on the rod for the President BC in this picture. Also add a Plano Weekender bag to this list - that's going to be my plastics bag...the Cabelas will be for everything else. Only 2 chatterbaits (Green Pumpkin, Shad) because I already had a Black in my bag. Leashes are for my rods and anything else I want to secure - paddle maybe even though I've got a TM for the canoe...need backup. 6 Quote

Do those leashes happen to be the ones on amazon for about $10 for 12 of them? Was thinking of grabbing some for my kayak Quote
