Definitely the 755. The 755 has a soft tip but locks up very quickly. Pretty expensive rod for swing jigs, but it will definitely work. I've used mine a few times for this exact application when I...

I use the Sierra 734, and champion 734 all the time for chatterbaits, both work well. The Sierra is a little more parabolic.

I'd check out this place. This business is family run and seems to do a lot of business in this area. I also bought a boat from him and would feel comfortable having him work on my boat. It's in...

Check your PMs

Still on the ledges, throwing the same baits I threw at them this summer. Really haven't changed patterns much at all. Water temp was in the low 70s this past weekend, they are plenty active!

I'm definitely no expert on the lake, but the fishing has been consistent. Some trips better than others. The fall funk has definitely set in though (my opinion). It has been harder to find bigger...

Still been out on the ledges. I've had some pretty great days out there this summer, several trips catching over 20lbs for best 5, and even a few trips boating 40-50 bass between me and the whoever...

Cwilt, stick to the ledges/points, that has been the pattern for me for the past 2 months. If there is a shallow bite in the pads and pockets, I wouldn't know about it, lol... The water clarity is...

LOL, that always seems to be the case with me, I'm fishing where the bite is not...

Sent you a PM.

I'm no expert on this lake but lately the pattern for me has been around pads first thing in the morning until the shad spawn dies off then head towards the ledges and/or deeper points. Been...

It's what I ordered for the boat when I bought it. It's a decent prop. I get on plane fast, and my top speed is about average with what everyone else is getting 46-47mph. I'd love to find a 4...

Most folks (including myself) are running the Tempest 21P. Is it the best prop? Not sure, it's the only one I've tried, but it's the one they recommend from the factory.

Probably going to need the "Transducer Shield and Saver". Nothing but stumps and grass on most of the lakes I fish...

Thanks again!

One more thing. Would you happen to know of a decent trolling motor mount for the 1198c's transducer? Preferably one that doesn't cost $200... It's going on an ultrex if it matters.

Or is...

Thanks Wayne!

I have the 3GN MSI+ Helix on the way. I want to run my 1198 at the bow and network the two. I have a few questions about the process.

1) I currently have the 1198 set up with a "y" cable so...

90% of my rods are Dobyns. I have a few Xtasy's, some Extremes, a bunch of Champions and one Sierra. No complaints here, I like the way they keep fish buttoned up, the way they feel in my hand, the...

Same here. I've even used rods specifically developed for chatterbaits but keep coming back to this one, has enough of a tip to let them get it, but really sticks em good. Fwiw, I use braid to 17lb...

Hey Poppin Frog! Rangermylow is still at Talquin. Ran into him in Little River late this morning. He caught a nice one that went close to 9 earlier in the week. I don't know if he has been...

I've been through a bunch of different lines; mono, fouro, braid and currently use braid to fluoro leader on everything except cranking rods and setups used exclusively for punching/flipping heavy...

LewStulePH.D. Funny thing is that I was using the Biospawn swimbait as a trailer. What color swim jig and trailer are you having the most success with? I was throwing shad colors but also have the...

Had to come back to this thread and post a report.

I purchased the Mesu swim jig off of the recommendations on here. Used it for the 1st time yesterday (yeah, they've been riding around in my...

Dang, I could do a write up on how I set up my braid to flouro leader, but Drewflew33's method is almost identical to mine. So X2 on what Drewflew33 said, but, I do use braid to flouro on football...

I fall into this same way of thinking as well. After trying about 30 brands of shakeyheads over the years, I have given up on the screw-lock type after losing too many fish, and not connecting on...

I have a jackplate on my 115CT, can't say 100% I have "gained" any performance because I have always had it on there. What I can say is that with the jackplate I can get on plane in very shallow...
