Well I am boatless so I may have to give noodling a try. Trying to figure out how to hold my breath long enough to get my finger in their mouth in the middle of a 20 ft. deep brushpile.

Any good bank fishing at Okmulgee lake? Looks like my spots at Keystone won't be any good this year so I'm lookin for some new places. I went to Carl Blackwell earlier this week and probably caught...

Need a few more days (and nights ) of warmer temps to really get 'em going. The dogwoods have been blooming for a while now but these cool nights haven't helped. Last year I tore 'em up on the banks...

I know EXACTLY what you mean Jiggy. Every year I do it. That first early really warm front and I start thinking spawn. The water temp will be getting close and then all hell breaks loose and we get...

I got a similar product that really didn't do much for me. After I bought it I read somewhere that any piece of stainless steel does the same thing. Might try rubbing your fingers and hands with a...

Are they graphite or fiberglass? I would guess fiberglass at that price. Not necessarily bad but heavier and less sensitive.

I like the tackle bags also. Using the Plano boxes you can customize your tackle and take what you need for specific trips or species. Works out great.

Thanks for the replies y'all. Might as well give it a try, not out much if I don't like it but these days I'm watching the pennies like never before.

Anybody used the Cabelas house brand line? They have a high vis yellow that looks like he WM line. About the same price for the same amount of line. Their is supposedly manufactured in Germany. At...

I was looking hard for some that were inexpensive about a year ago and gave up. For the mass market, which is what most affordable gear is aimed,most people won't buy a rod where they have to tape on...

I used XL or Stren for 35 yrs. I really liked Mr. Crappie line especially for the price. I am really mad they are screwing with a good thing. Probably saves 'em a few pennies. Has the line changed or...

I hate those damn things. I got bit on the inner thigh by one of those as a kid. My whole leg turned beet red and the bite swelled up like a half grapefruit. Doc took care of it and just ended up...

DC I had the same thing happen to me out at Keystone last year. I felt that pull and saw that big silver, wide body flash about ten feet out and I was already practicing my world record acceptance...

The BPS in Broken Arrow has a mounted crappie right over the fishing line area that is supposed to be a 4 pounder. Man that thing is so big it doesn't look real. I've never seen a crappie bigger than...

That reminds me of how I hunt Polar bears. I chop a hole in the ice and lay a ring of of peas all around it. When the bear comes up to take a pea, I kick him in the ice hole.

If you have an Academy Sports and Outdoors close by you might check there as well. I'm pretty sure I've seen them there.

I can remember when my dad explained that recipe to me when I was little tyke over 40 yrs. ago. I thought that was about the funniest thing ever.

I've been using Mr. Crappie hi-vis 6lb. test and like it. It's not perfect but every line has a drawback or two. It is plenty strong, casts well and you can afford to re spool often. Could be a...

Is this for when you forgot where you just caught a crappie or do caught crappie go looking for a safer school?;)

8oz. of lead? You cain't catch no crappies with them big jigs!;)

Exactly. B&M and all the others buy components by the thousands and can get them cheap,cheap,cheap. The only reason to build a rod is for enjoyment or if you just cannot find a factory rod to suit...

I couldn't resist. Glad you got it back and could put it to good use.

Nice fish Jiggy! Hey, I had that same spinning outfit but some jerk lifted it out of the back of my truck!:D

You know it is really just a craps shoot sometimes. I have been burned before by Consumer Reports. There is just too darn much variation from model to model, factory to factory, and part to part, and...

i like a heavier jig when vertical jigging. It gets back down to depth faster, I have better feel of the bait and strike especially when it's windy. If I am casting shallow I like a lighter jig...

It just seems to me they don't feed on top that much. I used to fly fish some ponds with good crappie and never did very well on top. The bass and bluegill tore it up though. Maybe they didn't give...

Way too pricey for me. I don't see how they could be that much better.

Dang those two are nice, what a day for him! Just looking at those pics I would have guessed they weighed even more.

I am glad you have a donor and will send more prayers your way.

I have used the rotary stone on my line stripper in a pinch. It does OK with very light pressure but not as good as a dia. hone or hook file. Probably not the same thing as what you're talking about...
