I have a strike king wooden crankbait that I've never seen before. It has strike king in plain script engraved in the bill. The body shape and size almost looks like a Bagley and that's what I...

I've never used a super high end rod but from what ive heard, nrx, conquest, Phoenix k2, 13 fishing archangel steez ags, the new st. Croix with ags guides, kistler z bone, and edge black widow are...
I haven't used any of the new ones, but I owned a team lews about 5-6 years ago. It was the highest prices spinning reel they made at the time. It had a carbon frame and was super lightweight, but it...
It's called a floating worm. My favorite colors are white, chartreuse, and methiolate(orange). Bright colors work best. Fish it with a spinning rod when fish are shallow and skittish or...
I like making my own night spinnerbaits as well. I looked around a lot for painted bare frames but all the ones I've found that had quality hooks we're cost prohibitive by the time I added the cost...
I would also choose a daiwa but as far as the best for 100 bucks, there are a couple of other great choices besides the bg. It is a great reel but personally I'd shop around and find one of the last...
I prefer spinning tackle for flukes because I can cast farther and also because it is much easier for me to skip under docks and trees with spinning tackle. I like a 6'3"-6'8" medium power xfast rod...
If you are looking for a reel to skip lures then the sv reel would be a great choice imho
The crazy cranker was a 4.9:1 gear ratio. It is pretty close to a 5 gear though
I'd look at the 13 fishing omen black 6'10"ml. Great rod for finesse stuff. It has the backbone for light t rigs and jigs, but a soft enough tip for single hook moving baits like spinnerbaits,...
I use a Fenwick smallmouth mh-mf for most spinnerbaits I use under 1/2 oz. Its a great rod for any reaction bait but deep cranks. I think the xx spinnerbait special goes used around 200 if you are...
I used my core 50 for weightless senkos, 1/8-5/16 oz Texas rigs, and jigs with 12lb fluoro on a 6'10" med x fast rod and for small topwaters, underspins, inlines, and blade baits on a 7ft med fast...
My choice also. I got mine for 108 and it's a very nice reel and one of the few besides the bg with an aluminum frame. Mine feels smoother than the bg but it also retailed for quite a bit more. As...
My favorite swimbaits for smaller waters is the mattlures ultimate Gill. I've caught most of my 6lb plus pond bass on this bait and anywhere bass feed on bluegill is a great place to try it. I like...
I have a few questions for the guys who have more experience modifying/making lures than I do. My favorite bait has been discontinued in the size/color combo I use most. It's the yum wooly hawgtail...
Has anyone fished these or even handled in a store? I saw them on the Abu site and really liked the looks and full cork. They are marketed for walleye but I'm thinking of picking one up for use as an...
I haven't used the 6xd crank much, but when I have i hit bottom in 14' easy. Some cranks just don't run as well as others. Just use it in 10ft or so and pick up another, or another crank from a...
I'd be interested if they are craw colors. If you still have them and any are, shoot me a pm
Braid has lots of upside for certain situations. It's definitely the best line choice when fishing vegetation because imo most of the time it cuts right through it. I only fish a few small areas with...
That looks exactly like an e series and I don't see any braking system on the spool on those pics either. Are you positive that's the same reel you have. All the daiwa bay jigging reels I've seen...
I use beavers and creature baits mostly at night. I don't worry about the tail action at night as much, I just want to create more bulk. I use them with spinnerbaits and jigs at night also
Heavier line will work but it may be harder to stay in contact with the light bait with wind or in deep water. Also it will slow the fall and if fishing clear water, will be easier for fish to see. I...
I'd look at the daiwa exceler. The president and shimanos at that price have graphite frames and the exceler has aluminum frame and brass main gear at about the same reel weight per size as those....
I use 20 or 30 lb braid or thin uncoated copper wire from lowes
Isn't one magforce and the other magforce z? I know there's 2 different pe spools but I haven't owned or used one so I'm not sure which is which
