Got up to Lake Erie last week for a little smallie fishing. Caught 8 over 5lbs and this trophy. She went 7.47 on the digital scale.

I know this is Tackletour but my experience with mag sealed Daiwa Certates is that they don't need any maintenance until they develop a problem which is highly unlikely in fresh water. I have been using them for years without any concerns. The extended year warranty is in place to compete with Shima...

I had been using Defier Armilo for treble hook baits but switched to Sufix Advance and have been really happy with it. It's runs slightly larger per diameter per lb rating but I just buy it based on diameter. I use 14lb for 17lb & 17lb instead of 20lb. It has shown excellent overall strength & knot ...

The precision trolling book spells it all out. From experience I can tell you line diameter also makes a big difference.

I assume your talking about the deps balisong 130sp. I use them on my standard jerk bait rod MHM rated 3/8 to 1oz. They are a different breed from standard deep diving jerk baits. They fish more like a crank bait than a jerk bait. I found they work better with straight pulls or rod sweeps than typic...

how did you catch it? what depth? what technique? (don't really care about the rod and reel, although many on here do ... but love to hear what you did to get that big girl enticed) Steve I caught it on a red eye shad 3/4 oz lipless in metallic silver/blue back. I mostly use them to drop to the bot...

My best from Lake Baccarac Mexico last week.

Jig bite was on yesterday

First cast ever with a Bucca Bull Shad

DD caught on the legendary St Johns river.
