basham1988 Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 I have been a "member" on here for a few years but I never post anything. I feel bad as I browse throughout the forum, picking up tips and information on all sorts of everything and never have anything to contribute. Literally, every time I do a Google search about something bass related, this site is usually at the top of the results and with multiple articles. This year is the first year that I have actually committed to bass fishing. Ever since I discovered a top water frog and a honey hole to winch out lunkers. I've been updating my arsenal of fishing gear mainly based on what I've learned from here, combined with my quirky preferences which may work against me in some cases. I have 3 Shimano Curado's (201I hg, 71hg, 71xg) and a PENN Conflict 2500. I'm gung-ho for St. Croix rods - have my spinning outfit on a Triumph 6'6" med fast. Casting outfits on Triumph 6'6" med/heavy fast, Premier 7'0" heavy fast and still need a third. Looking forward to jumping into the world of jigs this coming spring and I'd like to use my 7'0" heavy fast paired with the 71xg for frogging and as a heavy cover jig rod. Was thinking of a 6'6" - 7'0" med fast to cover most other jigging. At any rate, I don't want to ramble, just wanted to say thanks! -Tom 17 Quote

Don't be shy about asking questions. I wish I'd had something like this site at my disposal when I was first learning, it's a terrific resource to have so much experience at your fingertips. 5 Quote

YUT18 Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I became a member last week because of similar experiences. I decided to take my fishing to the next level by making my own jigs and spinner baits and every time I searched in Google this site popped up. There is a ton on knowledge on this site and I hope that I will eventually have something to add. 2 Quote
