Some chatterbait fun on the river. Caught 15 or so of these over slots on this trip ripping through shallow grass and getting some heavy thumps. 843 Conquest and Stile SS had a good workout https://i.postimg.cc/g2bS98qW/4-EBA2023-5-C69-410-B-B94-E-510967829952.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/x1Gs98tb/96-B...

Rod breakage on TV doesn't influence me at all. What bothers me in the way that some of the tour pros abuse their sticks by high sticking, swinging fish, and banging them around. This just leads to premature breakage one way or another. I would hate to be one of the Lane brother's rods. Those guys b...

Why Skeet,why? He can fish anything that he wants.

CD5 in the various trout patterns. Don't be shy, even smaller 6" brookies love them. Brook trout will try to fit anything into their mouths. I remember spooking a frog into the stream and a brook trout came up and crushed it. The frog swam off but, the brook trout took it under. That frog was WAY t...

I don't know which threads those have. I think its the same as the Steez, TD Zillion, T3 ect from that era. Those make use of a clicker that also acts as a retainer. Without it the knobs will back off. I have one on my old Tatula HD which uses the same threads but no provision for a clicker. Its al...

The stock chrome colored metal CCC on the TD Fuego baitcasting reel is heavy and not very attractive. It weighs 3.5 grams compared to the 1.1g of the older TD-X reels that have the same size CCC cap that is champagne colored aluminum. I measured the threads at about 10.8 mm on my digital micrometer....

I live in West Central Florida and I don't think that I have ever caught a double digit LM Bass. This LM is probably my largest and it's big to me. I have pics of others around this size but this one is probably the biggest. I don't carry a scale and I have never weighed a bass in my life. For refe...

Nobody should question a grown man that brings home the bacon. That's one of the reasons that I ditched the ex-wife and I found a millionaire ex-model that buys me anything fishing or cycling that I want! :lol: Problem solved. 8-) Your results may vary :big grin: So it was you that snatched Giselle...

Western finesse legend Don Iovino would be proud of you. He loves those reels and has sold parts over the years. They feel really smooth and solid, but my small hands love a lower profile reel.

Just like the fishing pressure in Japan, the clearwater golf course lakes all around me get beat to death. You constantly have to evolve to get bit. A lot of times, it is really just about giving them something different to see, like was said. The free rig works well with my fishing slow baits fast...

The fish don't know who is casting to them, or even that they are being messed with a lot of times. Like you proved, your skill over a beginning angler is going to make you much more likely to put the bait in the right places and catch more fish, but any cast might catch a monster. What really pisse...

It is always relative to where and how you fish. Here in SoCal you have tiny reservoirs and huge fishing pressure, but the area has the weather to grow them as big as anywhere. The late winter and spring time brings out the 30 pound plus limits. People don't even bat an eyelash at anything under 7. ...
