Could any of those rods be used for plastics or pitching jigs?

how would it effect the reel if they are slightly back straight? The problem i am having now is that the spool won’t totally fit in the “chamber.” This resulting in the side plate not going on. Any input on that?

what kind of plastics do the norhterns hit?

How would you fish them on a wing dam?

what are the differences between the two?

I am not sure how to C- Rig. Whats the best way?

Can you get me set up with what i need to buy and where from to make my own jigs?

Thanks Tom. And may I ask where you buy these at?

OKay thanks a lot!

Now for some odd reason yesterday, I couldn’t get the bass to bite on anything topwater. So I pitched plastics on the weedline and caught a fair amount of 2-3lb bass. It was a good time, but I wish I could have caught bigger. I also tried using bass jigs with a trailer on it and couldn’t get them to bite with that either. Anyone know why? Was it too early in the morning for them to be down deep? Time(6pm-8pm)

Anybody know of an inexpensive, but good quality baitcasting reel that permorms well? I am matching it up with a 7′ medium-heavy St Croix mojo bass rod. Thanks

Okay thanks for the comments guys. Now i already have two 7:1 ratio reels, should i get another one or should i get the 6:1?

Start on #4, its my mom’s favorite number!

Nice job! What baits where you using for topwater?

Has anybody used a ChatterFrog before? If so can you tell me the most effective way to fish it?

What does K&E stand for?

So if you guys were me, what would you buy for fishing this pond?

oh okay thanks

What do you mean they are “round?” because aren’t they shaped the same?

These sites are good but I just hate paying $6.00 for shipping!

will any old rattl trap do that or do I have to spend $6.oo or $7.00 on that red eye shad?

Could you tell me some kinds of swim jigs to buy?

I would but I dont know how to post a pic. Can you tell me how? I am new to IDO.

So now, what color of buzzbaits should I have in my tackle box. I only have a Black Booyah one and a Northland Black/Red one. And what should I do in the wind? Do buzzbaits still work when its 20mph wind out of the South?

And what color bead?

okay so all i do is put a bead ahead of the hook like where the knot is?

What is longevity?

okay thanks for the tips!

Nice hookset! So is that the same kind of hookset you would do for a brush hog on the bottom?

So I mean, how can he afford the time to reel in slack, lower the rod tip, and set the hook? Because i sure as heck know that if i tried doing that, the fish would already spit the bait out.
