Yeah, it took me losing several baits in the past before I realized that the kinking or pinching of the flouro was weakening the line in that spot and causing the snap-offs. And maybe I've just been...

Yeah, it took me losing several baits in the past before I realized that the kinking or pinching of the flouro was weakening the line in that spot and causing the snap-offs. And maybe I've just been...
That is true Mark.
So far it's a consensus, so my next question would be, do you then use straight flouro or mono? Because I would think that if you use braid-to-leader you would still run into the same issue with the...
Interesting...that is the exact opposite of my experiences with 40-50 pound braid. I was using a Deps Buzzjet (1 1/8 oz) last year and kept having my braid dig in on the spool and then catch on the...
I run braid-to-leader for finesse techniques and will occasionally run it for pitching/flipping around wood, but when throwing anything expensive I just prefer to run straight braid or flouro. I...
Thanks for the laugh. Glad to know I'm not the only one that does stupid things sometimes.
Yeah, I've got two different lure retrievers. Unfortunately, I didn't lose it to a snag. My braid-to-leader connection knot slipped and I lost it on the cast. I still have a glimmer of hope that I...
I'm sure I am. I briefly tried using larger baits (7" glide and 8"-9" wake bait) a couple years ago and just didn't stick with it. At some point I have a feeling I'll try again, but for now I don't...
Wow, I can't say as I've heard of anyone throwing the 8" Mag around here! That's a big bait! I did buy a couple Raid Osakana Slide 170's recently and plan to try them out this year. That is a 6.7...

Some days they bite, some days they don’t. There have been days I’d be glad to have caught those 3 little bass. Sounds like you recovered nicely in the afternoon though. And anytime you can catch a...

I fish mostly very small lakes, and many of them are trolling motor only or no wake lakes. I'd definitely go with the fiberglass boat. I have an older Ranger R83VS (18'9"). One big advantage is...
Normally I'd say the wind, but the last couple years I would have to go with low water due to an ongoing drought in our area. I'm generally a bank beater and it sucks going to places and all the...
I am assuming that when you say there is a ton of vegetation on them, you are meaning that you can't just throw an exposed hook bait in there? If that is the case and you need something weedless,...
Not as bad as what they were originally thinking. We didn't get hail, there weren't any tornadoes (at least anywhere around Waverly), the winds were strong but not terrible, and the lightning wasn't...
I just watched the underwater video of these things in action on the Mustad website and I think they look like junk. The blade doesn't seem to vibrate back and forth very fast and it appeared...
I'm in Waverly, Iowa which is in the NE section of the state. There's not a whole lot of lakes in my area and most of the ones within a 30 minute drive have been hit pretty hard by the ongoing...
I've only just started messing around with them this season. Mainly the GeeCrack Bellows shad at this point, but I do have some Thunderhawk Grenades (similar to the Bellows Gill, but made with...
I'll reiterate a couple of points. First, we are only having problems with the younger dog, Poppy. Our older dog, Luna, has been left to wander the house during the day since she was probably 3-4...
We have a golden doodle that is 5 years old. Other than peeing when she gets excited, she's never been a problem and is a great dog. We wanted to get her a playmate and so we got another golden...
Not sure why, but hadn't thought of a squarebill...thanks. Wind is one of those things that I let get into my head too much. I would rather fish in the cold or the rain than fish in heavy wind. ...
Thanks for the suggestions so far. Pretty much what I figured we would be using for baits. Now, do you fish the hardest hit shorelines or do you try and fish the shorelines that are not getting hit...
My fishing partner and I are taking off early tomorrow morning for our annual 2-day spring fishing trip. It's not much, but it's a chance for us both to take a couple days off work and go a few...
Thanks for the info guys. I’m putting a Daiwa Zillion G on it and will be using it quite a bit this upcoming week. The little I’ve used it I found it to be a nice rod, but just never really knew how...
