I got one for Christmas from Cabelas, think it was around $30. I have only used it twice and i like it a lot. I noticed it did best for me when I was exiting and entering the water from a steep bank. It collapses and thats a problem when u get it stuck in the mud and go to pull it out and it comes unattached. It can also be used as a weapon if you come across a snake or spider (hate them both).

Id have to go with a weightless wacky rigged 5 inch Stik-O in Mardi Gras color with a red Gamakatsu hook. Im partial to it because it caught me a 6 lb largemouth at the end of the season last year. BTW, i throw this using a 6 1/2 foot ultra light rod, ultra light reel, and 4lb mono and have never lost a fish. Second would be a Zoom tube, with a brown body and chart. tail.

I recently bought 2 swim jigs from Brovarney. My spinnerbait heads and football head jigs take a beating from rocks. I really wouldnt care if i stricly fish the river. But im a member at private lakes that are super clear, im talking visibility up to 15 feet. I plan on using these swim jigs at both places and really dont want my swim jig heads to be all chipped. If i took some clear fly head cement and put it on the heads would that toughen it up? Or is this process pointless? Thanks.

Youe doing better then me. I started tying about 6 months ago and i mastered the woolly bugger in a few tries. Then i moved on to the Clouser, have tied every color imaginable. I got books telling me how to tie different flies but im not to good at it. A lot of the flies in the books include spinning deer hair which is way over my head. But it gives me something to do during the winter.

This year i switched from reel magic to the KVD. I cant really tell any difference in performance between the two. I do have to say reel magic cleans my depth finder screen better then anything iv ever used.

good to see noone has caught a dead body or a body part.

As i was wading in the stream today i got to thinking about all the wierd things iv caught or snagged while fishing. I figure with all the river and stream fishermen on here there has to be some wierd and strange objects caught. The strangest living thing i ever caught was an albino catfish, and the wierdest non living thing is a little kids bike.

For the guys who fish chubs. I was wondering how you rig them and your setup. My local stream (little vermillion) is full of chubs and can be caught on every cast with just a crawler. Iv never used them for smallmouth, but im gonna try soon. Iv fished with big suckers up north for Muskie but thats on a different level. Any info to lead me in the right direction would be nice. thanks.

My most successful live bait is a live crawdad. We just carry little minnow nets and lift up rocks in ankle deep water, you can catch as many as you want,theyre everywhere. And stick them in a water bottle till we use them. I use a 7 foot rod and an ultra light reel with 6 lb braid and just hook the craw on a hook with no weight, toss it out. Most the time they hit it on the fall but occasianally il let it sink to the bottom.

Wanting to buy new baitcast reel- Quantum Energy PT
ryne replied to Greg C's topic in Gear & Techniques
I just recently purchased a ProLite baitcaster and a 7 ft ProLite finesse rod rigged with 6 lb test Fireline and i have to say i am in love. I have a Rick Clunn baitcaster and Id take the ProLite over it anyday. I like being able to throw really light baits without any problems and the ProLite allows me to do that. I wasnt really a fan of baitcasters till i started using this. The reel is $99 and so is the rod, i got them on sale for a combined $140.
