Super User A-Jay Posted August 31, 2015 Super User Posted August 31, 2015 Oh Yea ~ well I caught my PB on a Pink Hula Popper Trolled down 4 colors on lead core line on an ultra light noodle rod, only I didn't weight it or measure it even on account that I had forgot my scale & my pants as well. And it was cold. A-Jay 5 Quote
bassguytom Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I use plastic so I can reuse to hold all the fillets I get after dynamiting the fish to the surface. I certainly don't care. 2 Quote
Fun4Me Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Here, here. Until someone wants to pay for my gear, i'll stay within my budget and enjoy fishing, no matter what that budget is, or how many people tell me I need to use *insert brand* or my budget isn't sufficient enough to enjoy fishing. 3 Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted August 31, 2015 Super User Posted August 31, 2015 With your charm, personality, and way with words it is hard to believe some think you are a little harsh sometimes Slone. 9 Quote
papajoe222 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Come to think about it, maybe we all could use a little help in the stress department. Okay, I'll buy the first round, but d-camarena needs to sober up first. Popcorn in the oven??? 2 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 31, 2015 Global Moderator Posted August 31, 2015 I use to fish livebait for bass all the time and still do sometimes. If I catch a new PB on livebait you better believe everyone is going to hear about it! 2 Quote

I guess not only do I suck as a bass fisherman, but I'm cheap and unethical . Here's a thought. Use whatever works for you, wherever it works for you, The combo is over you're fireplace? I'd still be using it. I fish for what's available to me, the bigger the better. I focus on bass from NOV-Feb. and do it economically. One of my favorite bass/peacock set ups is UL rod that cost me about 40 bucks and trion20 spinning reel that I've had about 8 years, all I use on it is a Storm chug a bug. I don't require much else, or wish to complicate my fishing. 2 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted August 31, 2015 Super User Posted August 31, 2015 The more I fish, the more I learn from the seasoned veterans on here, the more expensive equipment and fancier colors I get, the more I learn; these four letters have a heck of a lot of truth in them: K.I.S.S. !!! I have found that two combos work best for me fishing from the bank. I don't bring a whole lineup of 7 rods and reels with me. I worked through all the tackle I don't use and traded it away. I consolidated my tackle into fewer plano boxes. My back thanks me when I'm walking around a pond . What's the point of having 1,000s of dollars worth of tackle sitting in your garage that you never take out fishing with you? Give some of it to a kid who's learning how to fish. In the end, no matter your budget or ideas of simplicity, you can go out and enjoy catching fish. 1 Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted August 31, 2015 Super User Posted August 31, 2015 I care that I actually wasted my time reading this post!!! Should have stopped at "Who Cares" 8 Quote
Super User senile1 Posted August 31, 2015 Super User Posted August 31, 2015 Like Slone, I agree that most debates about subjective material aren't useful; though, in some cases an OP is actually looking for advice. I guess some people find these things interesting and it is their prerogative to talk about them. If I don't find the post interesting, or if it has been covered ad nauseam, I don't participate. 2 Quote

I guess not only do I suck as a bass fisherman, but I'm cheap and unethical . Here's a thought. Use whatever works for you, wherever it works for you, Love it. I'll spin ye' a yarn -a true one: A buddy I used to muskie fish with on the St. Lawrence River had the biggest muskie ever come onto the floor of his boat one summer. It was 51-1/2" long and was caught by an inebriated kid on a 1/4oz Mr. Twister jig on a cheap Zebco spin-cast outfit. 2 Quote

And it was cold. A-Jay The ultra light noodle rod is garbage. You should be using the Spank-Me-Hard Medium action rod. And by the way, I've found that Uranium line is much better than the lead core lines. I believe the fish can sense the radioactive particle emissions with their swim bladders and it draws them to the lure. Does anyone know who makes the best lead suit for fishing this rig? 3 Quote
