I bought a pack of Flick Shake about 15 years ago, and had never used it, until 2 years ago, when the water level was super low, and the fishing was really tough. I don't like finesse fishing, but I had to try some. It was that tough. ](*,) That's when I found the 15 years old Flick Shake. I caught ...

I've used the following rods, and I still don't know what my favorite company is. Always looking for something better. :lol: - Daiwa - Shimano - G Loomis - Dobyns - Powell - Kistler - Lamiglass - Fenwick - Abu Garcia - Phoenix - Quantum - All Star - Edge - Impulse - Ark Lately, I've been using mostl...

Like ONE/"1" only for the rest of our lives? We'd be HOSED...that lure would likely be lost in one outing. Lol. Or do you mean as many of ONE lure type or ONE EXACT lure model/weight/variations? :lol: I'm sure the YouTuber didn't mean ONE lure. otherwise, he wouldn't pick a jig, which could be lost...

I just watched a YouTube video with this topic. He said a jig, but he showed a jig and a trailer. I thought that's not one lure, a jig + a trailer. I also thought I would lose a jig easily, and I wouldn't have any more lure to use for the rest of my life. :lol: Anyway, I thought about it. I knew the...

I used it every once in a while in the last 15 years or so. To me, Rapala DT16 is way better.

For me, the Frittside 5 has been a pleasant surprise.

Very cool. I just bought two of those, and am looking forward to catching some bass.

The DT Flat 7 has a longer bill like the Frittsides 7. The DT3 has a short bill like the Frittside 5 shown in the post above. Thanks. I just looked at mine, and it's 3. I know it dives over 3ft, though, which is fine with me :lol: . OK, I just compared my old DT3 Flat to the OG Slim 6. The size and...

I use white braid a lot. I just color the last 5-6' of the line with a black sharpie and it hasnt affected my catch rate with bottom contact baits. Interesting. I'll try that. Thanks. I kinda like the white braid, because it is definitely easier to see. But, I just didn't get as many bites with slo...

The idea behind the old Whopper Stopper Chugger and Pulse Cod isn't to rattle or make noise. It shines when paused, as the weighted spring in it vibrating causing small vibration in the bait while sitting still. Deadly over bass on beds. Yes, I know that, but the vibrating weight thing creates soun...

Were you getting hit on the drop or was the fish picking it up off the bottom? Fall rate may be a factor here, Jika rig with same weight will fall faster than t rig Didn't get a bite on the fall. All the bites were off the bottom. I guess they were feeding a lot yesterday. I caught a fish that had ...

Yep. Still have some Bagley's ET2's, Poe's RC7's. Bought those back when you mail ordered from BPS. I was probably in 6th grade. I'm 49 y/o now. I still have a Whopper Stopper chugger that had the vibrating spring weigh inside like the Deps Pulse Cod. That innovation actually came out in late 80's,...

Rapala DT Flat is my favorite, but I have only one left. I just bought the new OG Slim, along with other flat sided from Bagley, Bomber, Strike King... I haven't used them yet, but the OG Slim looks very much like the old DT Flat with a different lip. I'm hoping it's as good or better than the old o...

I'm not much of a soft bait guy, but Jackall Cover Craw with a weighted T rig has worked very well for the last 15 years. It's one of my main soft baits, the other is a weightless Fat Ika, which I don't normally use in winter. Those are pretty much all I use/need for soft baits. I fished this aftern...

Here in South Bay (Norcal), I definitely started seeing more people fishing, but many of them are carp fishermen. They basically sit in one spot. They don't move at all. Looks like they do catch some bass, but I don't think that's what they're going for. Oh, I caught my first carp by accident. I was...
