Re: BFS Bobber Help Needed
What most people don't know about bobbers is that one should use the long pencil bobbers for really small light weight lures. The concept is to be able to thread onto the long bobber on top and bottom. The long stem of these kinds of bobbers helps to prevent light lures and line from wrapping itself...

Re: Fishing Misconceptions That You Wish Would Die
The best one is:
Tungsten falls at twice the speed of lead!
nah...they fall at the same speed pretty much in water. In a vacuum they fall at the same speed of gravity

Re: BFS Bobber Help Needed
Buy yourself the cheapest topwater lure like anything like a Spook puppy or Torpedo and remove all hardware and/or props. They make for the best casting bobbers and you can even play walk the dog, although it really wouldn't do much for that lure. yes if you really wanted to just use a spook and sli...

Major Craft Jigpara Spin Micro
Major Craft Jigpara Spin Micro has the name but it's not micro in any sense with a weight of 1/4 oz. It's size is 1" so it fits the profile, and it's quite really the first converted to ice fishing jig that's hot hot hot hot. Well from my first field day test and on the first drop of the lure, it ca...

Re: Kenders T-Rip
I finally had a chance to put the new Kenders T-Rip to use for some ice fishing. I actually took the treble off and installed a single hook to fish first. Originally my plan was to fish it as OEM, but I had to do the tweaked lure first. I did have an OEM in tackle box but left it alone. The larger o...

Kenders T-Rip
So there's this new Kenders T-Rip micro lipless crank bait lure this year. It comes in two sizes, 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch in 1/32 oz. and 3/32 oz. respectively. Treble hook size is #16 and #14 and has a single hook to switch. Lure has a rattle chamber too. I like the profile look of these better than ...

Re: Have You ever seen stupid fisherman like this???
Looked like he was leveraging from the handle. It could've just been the camera angle, but it looks like just the way how he does.

Re: 2020 a year in review ...
Fishing was terrible as in political terrible. There was covid and then riots/protesting. Then more covid and then election. So my fishing was miniscule. On the other hand, I ended up spending mulah on gear. I got a great deal on close out on Curada 70's bought another Bantam MGL. Found some discoun...

Re: Ice Fishing
I used to be young and daring...two inches of ice was enough.
I'm a bit more reserved now. I wait for solid 4 inches before I actually start walking out on the ice.

Re: IMX Pro ice rods
Sorry I didn't see this post until now. The high end ice rod market is pretty big in some places. We have a dealer in MN that has someone making solid carbon blanks for them. The rods sell for $200-400+ and they can't seem to build enough. We worked with dealers like this to develop the Ice rods. S...

Re: Yo-Zuri lipless fans ...
That's about the only thing I would go to Wallyworld for is to find a secret stash of Yo-Zuri lures in a clearance box. Well maybe for undergarments too but, that's all.

Re: Line Diameter
It's because little kids don't know how to tie a knot and a simple overhand knot will cut into the line strength. So that 20# line is only good for one simple knot. Well of course the line itself is stronger than 20#. :big grin: Being the kid that started with 20# fishing line that almost landed mys...

Re: Suffix 832 issues
Every once in a while...Braids and fluorocarbon lines remind me that I have to pay extra attention to my knot tying. Fluorocarbon lines will slip. Braids will pinch and cut itself on the knot if it's not slipping.
