I recently posted about soft plastics not being in my confidence baits, well I was wrong, now they are. I lost a few to the bottom but then Texas rigged a worm and got a nice one, thanks for all the suggestions, now I can put my stock pile of plastics to use. 20 inches, and I still haven't got a new scale, I have a feeling if I buy a scale I'll never get another good one lol.

Nice one man! Having a scale doesn't affect anything, man. You won't even think about it until you catch a nice one. ;)

Is that a Lightning Rod yer slingin' there big guy?

Yes it is, I'm on a budget so I find what I can, the lightning shock and Mitchell 300pro is the most i spent so far.

I have 2 myself, been fishing with the Shock this year. I started smiling when I recognized yours. I aint too crazy about the reel seats, but so far, so good. I sure dont have any problems sensing the fish or setting the hook though! Keep dragging those worms and keep us posted.

Good job.  You've had some nice catches in the past couple of days.

Go ahead and get a new scale as soon as you acquire funding.  Just be mindful that scales have a mind of their own and they will lie to you.  My hand held scale, (a fairly small Quarrow model) weighs 3 lb lead dumb bells perfectly, every time.  Every time I put a 6 or 7 lb bass on that same scale it weighs 4 or 4 1/2.  Stupid lying scale.   I'd throw it away, but I know that all scales lie, so why get another one.

That is odd. I have a Rapala digital scale that does the same thing. I've been thinking maybe I'm using the wrong batteries.

Scales seem to stop lying after you weigh enough fish on them. The other day my scale even said that my 4 lb bass weighed 4 1/2! :grin:
