So Yall Want To Learn Toledo Bend?

[mguidroz]

I can bring my boat.

[Bass_Fanatic]

Yep, my boat should be good to go.  Im picking it up from Toledo Fiberglass this week!

[Express Kid]

I have a boat ready to go. Forget cleco fished four hours with two small hits could not find bait fish. Looked all over the lake and did not even find a school of shad. Water was 65 degrees but nothing in the water. Water is so nasty that It left a stain on boat and trailer. I will not waste my time going back!

[bullet20]

I probably won't make it, I work 7 n 7 and i my make another run for club championship again if schedule fit's.

[Express Kid]

Thanks for the info toledomard928 I bought two. Hope they are good rods. I never had one before but at that price it is worth trying them out.

I have 2 of these rods paid a lot more for them .I like them good cranking rods.

I have 4 WM rods, so far no issues.....I have the 7'8" deep cranking glass rod from the same series that are on sale.  I have not had any issues so far, definatly worth the price.

[ToledoMard928]

I have not been able to make it to my favorite fishing hole for a couple of weeks but I did get a report from a friend of a very good C-rig bite on a main lake point.  He was in the Six Mile area in 16 FOW around timber, with 35 FOW+ water nearby.  Slowly dragging a C-rig craw worm, caught several in the 3-4 pound range.

 

I hope to head up Thursday to put a few of my own in the boat!!!

[Bass_Fanatic]

I should be up there Friday to get a line wet. Hoping the wind lays down and it's not freezing!!

[Catt]

Hey! No pre-fishing! Oh! Wait never mind!

Huh! I gotta a bunch crank bait fisherman on my hands?

Other than Traps crank baits are my weakness, not that I can't throw them, I just don't.

I know, had my nose rubbed in em several times, looks like I might again.

C-rigs are deadly in cold water, try a 1/4 oz weight & craw or lizzard.

[Dam Yankee]

It appears we have a similar weakness Catt. I do not throw them either.

[Express Kid]

i will know soon. Thanks again for the info on the rods. I love to crank and feb. is a good month to do it. Should be interesting tourney.

[Catt]

Looks like an awesome week of weather

[RonnieF]

I have a boat. At the moment on a lift but trailer is under the garage and definitely available.

[Express Kid]

I am wanting a new jig rod and I like the duckett white Ice. Is this a good rod choice or is there a better one out there that I should look at? I am only wanting to spend a couple bills on one. Any suggestions?

[Express Kid]

Wow tbat is great weather. Should be great fishing!

Express Kid,

 

If you're looking at Duckett rods.........make sure you consider the ones listed below on Duckett's website.

I have become partial to 7'-6" length rods and have both of them.

They are definitely my top two favorite.

 

DFMM76H-C (heavy action)

football head jigs, 1 oz spinnerbaits, carolina rig

 

 

DFMM76MH-C (medium heavy action)

1/2- 3/4 oz open water jig, carolina rig, 3/4 oz spinnerbait, mid-size swim baits

 

Either can be had at Bass Pro for around $160.

 

Just my $.02

Good luck shopping.

I go with the Shimano rods, I use Shimano cumara for feel techniques and Shimano crucial for moving baits. Best rods for the money and by far the industries best warranty......

[Bass_Fanatic]

I have a duckett and a cumara and both are fine rods! Once you get in the $150-200 range you can't really go wrong, but I prefer the Powell endurance 714c. I liked it so much I bought 2! Heck of a jig rod IMO.

[shaneus]

and to be honest i cant afford to fish with anything else, i dont know if its the rods or me but i break 4-7 rods a year fishing. ship them back which cost 5 bucks at the post office and within 2 weeks you have a new model rod even if the rod is 5 years old, you get the current years model, i just got new cumara maroon rods warranty exchange, cant wait to put them through their paces. i had a 7'7 flippin stick i broke and they sent me their 7'11 flippin stick (maroon) it is half the weight.......

[Catt]

I have two Crucials, one with a full cork handle which I love & one with a split grip EVA which is still under review!

I hate breaking rods cause it's so hard for me to pick a new one. I might break one every 3-5 yrs!

[TxGator]

Whens the tournement gonna be, is registration closed?

 

If not Id love to go, as long as its after Christmas and not on one of the weekends that the high school tournements  are being held Im available.

 

I have a boat if needed, 20' Broadhead. She old and slow but stable and safe. Or Id be happy to be a back seat guy.

 

Yall catch a bigun.

[Express Kid]

Thanks for all of the help guys. I realy like theway the Boyd Duckett rod feels and I am sure that is what I will go with and Bearonthewater thanks for the info about which one to get. i like a long rod too for flipping will the Heavy be enough for the grass or should I go with an extra heavy for the big girls on the bend? Thanks for the info on the Crucial rod I have never had one but may look into that one as well. Thats what I like about this site it is full of guys who know what works and will give you true info without all of the salesman hype you get from the store. Thanks

[Express Kid]

^{Bass-Fanatic where can i find these powell rods}

[TxGator]

 Thanks for the tip on the wright mcgill Rick Clunn series 7 ft crank bait rods. I just ordered 2 of them, and their guaranteed for Christmas. Just what I need, more rods lol.

 

Thanks
