Shad_Master Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 For me it was Power Pro line - my first fishing reel (when I was 10 years old) was a Mitchel round bait caster with nylon line already spooled on. I spent hours each day learning to cast without getting backlashed and finally got the hang of it. I then moved on to Zebco spincast tackle and spinning reels until I was grown. I then decided to go back to a bait caster because that was what all the Big Boys used. But I could never get the hang of casting with Monofilament and Flourocarbon line. I tried the early versions of Fireline and Spider Wire, but they didn't help. Then one day while in Wal-Mart, I noticed the Power Pro - "that looks familiar" - I put it on and found that my old form started comming back. And when I did experience a "professional overrun" it was easier to pick out without kinking the line and I was eventually able to add in the other types of line. Quote
Wisconsin Heat. Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 hmm, wow it has to be subscriptions to bass fishing magazines. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted July 12, 2011 Super User Posted July 12, 2011 My first crankbait fish, not too long ago. I can't put them down. They're alot of fun to fish. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 My first jig mold. It gave me the ability to make my own jigs how I wanted them cheaper then any store bought one. This led into almost strictly fishing jigs and getting pretty good at it. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted July 14, 2011 Super User Posted July 14, 2011 Can't think of anything.....caught a lot of fish 50 years ago and I'm still doing it. I just go with the flow. Quote
rubba bubba Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Many years back my brother-in-law explained to me what's needed to do a Texas rig. Had never heard of it before and so I wrote down what I needed. I then did extended research on what it was and how to fish it, tested it out and it actually worked (had never fished plastics before). After that I was all-in. Quote
Canadian Kid Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 My first spinnerbait bass.. was absolutely hooked after that. Quote
Scorcher214 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 My kayak. Fishing from a kayak near the same areas i shore fished gave me a whole new perspective. Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted July 20, 2011 Super User Posted July 20, 2011 Texas rigged Culprit worm. Yes sir. Although, for me, it was a 7" Power Worm. A high modulus graphite rod comes in second. As a kid it was the Fuzzy Grub. Quote
