Re: Passing of a longtime member...

mhood was one of my favorites. From his orange reel thing to his steadfast admiration for his Daiko Burroughs rod he seemed like a genuinely good guy. I’m not as regular here as most of you so I’m glad I saw this to pay my respects.

Is this a legitimate vendor?

Hmmm, not sure about this one. Check out the price on the Gekkabijin.

The tiny hoos actually grab crappie surprisingly well. It somehow more often than not hooks right by "the lip" of the fish instead of the paper part.

The setup will need cushion of sorts. Braided line will be difficult unless you have a very soft rod.
Thanks, HWK.

Ultralight minnow baits

I’ve converted almost all of my ultralight minnow baits to single barbless hooks for catch and release trout fishing. Now I’m wondering if they will struggle when using them for crappies. Thoughts? I suppose I could go back to treble hooks on a few of them.

Re: UL Topwater Fishing

The Zara Spook Puppy has produced lots of smallmouth bass for me. It’s probably at the upper limit of BFS and weighs 1/4oz. The Puppy fishes well on a light casting/BFS setup. I've caught limits around 25lbs. on it when my home lake has a stable water level all summer and grass mats are able to dev...

Re: Conquest BFS 2023

I’ve had every Conquest model including the last BFS and the only one still standing is my Conquest 50. That one along with the Abu 6500C that I bought on 1977 as a 17 year old with my high school graduation money is on the very short “never sell” list. That said I have a great affection for my JDM ...

Re: DHL question/advice

Thanks! I trashed the little plastic bag that was affixed to the tube, so I ended up trimming all three documents and taped them to the tube. Hoping it is OK. I’ve never gotten in trouble for supplying too much documentation in other situations . No worries sir, they'll know what they need to scan!...

Re: DHL question/advice

Again, if my memory serves me correctly, it's the third sheet with both addresses and 3 different barcodes with one of the barcodes labeled "Waybill". I think when I printed this sheet out the address blocks and barcodes only printed on half the sheet, so I simply folded the sheet in half and insur...

Re: DHL question/advice

Just a quick follow up question. JDM Tackle Heaven sent two attachments and they held three sheets. One is the “Commercial Invoice “ with both our addresses, and another says “Waybill Doc“ at the top and it has one barcode, and the third sheet has both our addresses and 3 barcodes. Which of these m...
