Brnnoser6983 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I feel your pain, my season ended early this year due to a move so I've been accumulating since October... Luckily my wife also fishes and has only asked (so far!) if she was going to be using some of the new stuff too I'm looking forward to picking up a jerkbait or 6 and trying that out, plus I picked up some crankbaits already so I'm looking forward to messing around with those too. Lastly, I picked up some drop shot stuff so that'll be my other other new thing to try out this coming season. I did the same. Just bought a new rod and reel for only drop shot. I just got the shipment in from TW last night. So I am stoked to try them out. But I got so many new things from poppers and top waters to I think I picked up the DT 16.... duo many in between..

Trent Wilson Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Keep at it Joe. I can't tell you how many times my old man tells me that it's not the right time to throw a rat l trap and I end up landing a monster. Some of my biggest bass have come off them. Quote

Super User scaleface Posted January 25, 2015 Super User Posted January 25, 2015 I have never used an alabama rig and would like to try a light weight version . Theres a small lake I frequent that it should work well on but I dont want to take a flipping rod to cast it. Im limited on the amount of gear that can be toted and need to be able to cast the rig on a seven foot M/H pitching rod. Anyone have a suggestion ? It needs to balance out nicely with the rod or I will not use it. Quote

I tried the drop shot for the first time last year...omg! Now i have a dedicated drop shot combo, a pile of baits and a metric ton of drop shot weights lol I did really well with it and it saved a few days of fishing...almost cashed a few checks with it too...( missed the money by less than 3 ounces twice) Quote
