I haven’t had a chance to try any of the soft touch grips yet (mostly because I’m too cheap), but I absolutely love the raw carbon fiber grips. I leave them raw (I would strongly suggest not coating...

Black.

If I had to go with my second choice, it'd be black too.

As for type...I'm a fan of the Jackall Kaera, Jackall Gavacho, Terminator Walking Frog Jr.

Wanted to dig this one back up, because Teckel has just re-released this bait as the MaxQueaker! https://www.instagram.com/p/C5bf_MBLDri/

Looks like The Hook Up is...

Sorry, I misread that as "the Mississippi." I also missed that the OP is from MS, which makes your previous comment make a ton more sense. I should not have responded that way!

Low visibility...

6 lb mono isn't too light at all. My day-in, day-out drop shot setup uses 7 lb Sniper but I've gone as light as 4 lb and significantly heavier in some situations as well. Plus, 7 lb Sniper is a...

I've done it on topwaters, especially when I'm catching smallmouth. Blade baits, too. It helps with not losing fish as the hook can spin several times before it binds up which really stops the fish...

I see muskies do it all the time, too. The muskie anglers always say they're up there warming up in the sun so they can digest after a big meal, and of course a muskie isn't too worried about...

That’s about all I use. You can put them into a Trick Worm pretty easily, just make sure it goes in straight else it will bust out the side. I use them in stick baits and Trick Worms mostly. A dab...

I throw them on 16 - 20 lb Sniper. Almost always braid to leader for me, but that's definitely personal preference.

For trailers, the options are endless. There's a train of thought that a...

Hopefully I'm not hijacking here... For those who have a lot of experience, how would you set one up if you were limited to two hooks? Try to get them to go for the 2 on the bottom, or one bottom...

I'll look to see if I have any photos! My boat and tackle are an absolute disaster right now as I kind of dumped stuff when I got back from Mexico and haven't had the chance to straighten things up...

Yes. As I mentioned, not on the website, but Paul will make them. I've had him make several batches for me. I told him the weight, blades (type, size, and finish), head color, and skirt colors I...

Board sponsor ACT Lures makes incredible, fully custom spinnerbaits. They're not on the website, but Paul will make you whatever you want. His BBC username is paulpus. A quick PM and you'll have...

The Baby Squadron was going to be my suggestion. I've used the regular Squadron with great success on full-sized A-rigs (and swimbaits in general), and that new Baby Squadron should be the ticket...

Congrats on the giant!!!

I really appreciate the kind words. I don't think they're deserved--I am a professor and I happen to enjoy bass fishing--but I think most of the rest is that I spend way...

Just going down the mono or fluoro list on Tackle Warehouse, it doesn't take long to refute that CXX shares a "standard" diameter with other lines. Looking in detail, it seems only Trilene XT is on...

I almost always put my console graph in standby when I'm fishing up front anyhow unless there's someone on the back deck, but I also turn the sonar off on mine when I'm up shallow and not using it. ...

I quit messing around with different braids after trying a bunch and basically reaching the conclusion that there are very few differences, at least once you compare apples to apples. By that, I...

That's going to be a big knot to be casting through guides on an A-rig. I think it's doable, but I also think you'll want to commit to the FG with a leader that heavy. I'm also not sure you'll get...

For jigheads, I started experimenting with small (like 2x3”), heavy duty (4 mil), plastic zip bags I found on eBay when I had to pack stuff differently than usual for my trip to Baccarac due to...

Are the knots catching on the guides and fraying, or just fraying? If the latter, that kind of sounds like a problem with the braid, though I've never really had that happen unless a guide was...

If I had to guess, I'd say it's a combo of extra durability and making the jig "float" through the water (i.e., stay at a more consistent depth) due to the increased resistance of the thicker...

I'm far from even a little knowledgeable on the technique aside from some basic physics of how the jigs behave in the water (and that part is mostly just from tangential experience like ice fishing...

One more reason I like throwing them on braid to a leader! I throw a lot of 3/8 oz chatterbaits and they definitely want to helicopter at times. Agree that the heavier ones definitely do it a lot...

I don't think there's a rule against it...I've seen lots of things like that posted and never seen negative reactions. I think the only way we'd run into a situation that raises eyebrows would be if...
