Agreed, blade baits are great.

The old Silver Buddy models have a well proven track record.

I can't speak for your area, but the Dick's Sporting Goods / Field & Stream stores in our area carry a modest supply of TM 9 piece packs, and some of their Floats as well. I was suprised to see them...

I've spent quite a bit on fishing related things during my lifetime so far.

However, not nearly as much as I have on Firearms. And like many, one of my greatest fears is that when I die, my wife...

I'm also in the camp of keeping my leaders short enough to not have to cast my connecting knot through a guide.

While the Alberto knot, among others, is certainly a good choice for joining lines,...

What is that covering the knot in this pic? Super Glue?

I was curious about those jigs as I'd seen that style recently on a website somewhere. Not sure if it was that brand or not, but definitely the same style "keeper", which is what caught my eye.
...

That's just sad. Can only hope that what goes around comes around for People who do that kind of crap.

That's a fine looking reel!

Haha, I take it that is your favorite Bill?

You got that right!

My dad was a butcher, owned a meat market, and I grew up with a knife in my hand, so I'm pretty anal about caring for and processing my fish and game.

I've seen people drag...

I would also add a ladder to your transom, if you don't already have one, in case the wife & kids weren't able to lift you back into the boat if you ever fell overboard.

Apperciate the info, thanks. I will tell certainly him if I order some. :ThumbsUp

That dude was hungry! Don't get much more fun than topwater.

I always put my fish on ice, regardless if it's 30 deg. or 90 deg. outside, I always have ice in the cooler when fishing. I don't use the livewell unless I'm culling fish in the colder months.

Great info guys, keep it coming :)... always interested in seeing what others are having success with.

The waters I fish are moderately stained for the most part.

I just placed an order for...

Those are good looking baits. Are they commercialy available, or did you pour them? Very nice, and good crappie catchers too!

That's alot of fish on 2 baits ... good job!

Yup, Bears.

I know they are not everyone's choice, but just wondering what didn't you like about the sickle's? Do you fish alot of heavy cover?

What style Jig Heads / hooks are you guys using w/ the Baby Shad?

I've always used standard Ball & Round Head Jigs w/ J-style hooks on my soft plastics, but I'm thinking about trying some w/...

Appreciate the input guys, thanks.

Just wondering what some of y'all's current favorites might be for casting jigs for medium / average size crappie?

Interested in other brands as well, but I'm placing an order somewhere for other...

Sorry, just realized double post. Please delete!

1. Crappie

2. Beer

3. Cigars

Can alternate 2 & 3.

You may want to try a Palomar Knot, very strong, easy to tie and won't slip. Or, an Improved Clinch as well if you are already used to tying the Clinch knot.

:welcome from VA.

I've used thier crappie rods in the past, very nice rods.

Try FISHUSA and choose the "notify me when back in stock" option for the pole you want if it is showing out of stock.

I just did that with the Mocro Series I ordered from them and was suprised...

Sounds like a perfect way to spend the day. I'm sure everyone enjoyed it.

She is just TOO cute !!! :biggrin

Think Grandpa may need to think about exchanging that fishing pole for the Shotgun...
