    Mike, does the 30 minute stink like the 5 minute does? I can't even open the 5 minute epoxy in the house because it smells so bad. The epoxy I use is the Bob Smith Industries 30 minute slow cure...

    Even though this reel is marketed as a flip/pitch reel, it's fully capable of throwing most anything (other than really light baits) very well. Because of the longer power handle I would use it for...

    Thanks for the help guys. I removed the eyes and filled in the location with epoxy. I'm going to try and insert the two ball bearings into the belly since I had water tested the bait with the eyes...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I actually have some PVC board and it’s easy to work with like you said. I just hate how much static it has. Whether you are carving or sanding, the stuff sticks to...

    glide bait not swimming well

    Every now and then I get an itch to try and actually make a bait. Last weekend was one such time. I made a 5” (6” including the tail) swimbait/glidebait. I made it out of poplar. Even though the sink...

    Enjoying watching the fishing, but I'm getting vertigo when they switch to the guys who are quickly zig-zagging back and forth trying to locate fish with their FFS.

    I have some of the 5” and 6.5” ones and even though I haven’t tried skipping them I just can’t see them being good skipping baits. They are super soft plastic (tear easily), so I can’t see them...

    Suffix 131 is the roundest braid I have used. For me a round braid is quieter going through the guides and also digs into itself less on the spool. Daiwa J-Braid Grand 8x is also a very round braid.

    I think you're right. He goes into each and every tournament already mentally defeated due to his mindset and obsession with FFS. When he doesn't do well he already has a built-in excuse and...

    If you are looking at using a spinning rod for your jerkbaits, I'd look at the Megabass Orochi Ronin or Whipsnake. The Ronin is shorter at 6'8" (the Whipsnake is 6'11") and a little more stout and...

    I think you'll have a hard time getting into a decent pedal drive or a kayak with a bow mount trolling motor for $1500. Most pedal drive kayaks are going to be at least $1800 (from my experience). ...

    How to Train Your Dragon...an animated movie that checks a lot of boxes (funny, exciting, a little emotional) and doesn't try to push agendas like so many movies today do.

    Tackle Tour did a review of a couple of their rods and had pretty good things to say, but like Wired2Fish, they never have a negative review so the "worst" a rod is going to get from them is a "good"...

    I got out on Saturday for a few hours as well. Water up here was 38 degrees and I only caught one around two pounds on a lipless crank. Tried a jig, jerkbait, crankbait, chatterbait, and a blade...

    Thanks for the suggestion. I know years ago that Rathbun was a place that was known for not catching numbers, but catching size. Looks like that is still about the same. I think we are zeroed in...

    High water vs. low water fishing

    If given the choice between fishing a lake where the water is 3-5 feet high or 3-5 feet low, which would you choose, and why? Since I'm a bank beater I would opt for the water being high so that...
