Mega Dittos on that. Gulp Alive 1 inch minnow is a crazy good bait for bluegill.

I was a died in the wool live red worm or live spike (maggot) fisherman until 2 years ago. I sometimes still...

Using barbless hooks or hooks with the barb pinched shut with pliers helps a bunch.

Made my day to read this post ! So happy for you guys. PTL !!!

Beautiful native bluegill !!

Don’t have wonder why they are called bluegill when you look at those. :)

I tie my hook 6-8 inches above the weight with a Palomar knot. Drop shot rig is all I use on bedding perch. Catch lots.

On the batteries for your TM. Consider using Lithium batteries if you haven’t already. I switched over to Lithium in my bass boat and my pond boat. Best thing I ever did. Amazing...

There is no Gulp Alive alternative that is equivalent in performance.

Get some of these leakproof specimens cups —

Ive gone to 100% utilization of Gulp Alive products for sunfish. For decades I used red wrigglers and for the past 5 years I used Live Maggots (thanks to Death Before Disco’s recommendation). I use...

Congrats on the new rod Randy ! Be looking forward to your on the water report on it.

Like you, I just recently bought a rod shorter than my others which are 6 and 6.5 footers. My new SC...

You took the thought right off the top of my head about that blank being made available.

What would it cost to build an exact duplicate of this Legend Elite Panfish rod ? Say a 6 footer.

I bought mine from FishUSA.com and used a 10% off coupon code I found
on the net. CHAD10 was the code I used.

My friend, I believe you are right about that pairing with Excalibur. So let it be written, so let it be done !

Can you recommend a good source on the Presso ?

danke, Chris

Just thought I would make a comment about the St. Croix Panfish Elite rod. I purchased one about a month ago and have
been fishing bluegill with it exclusively since purchase. The rod is...

I would recommend Chartreuse Shad, Emerald Shiner, Black Shad. In that order.
Likely you won't need anything other than Chartreuese Shad.

One tip on using this bait, other than using the...

Pardon, but what is SV and TW ?

thanks !

I'll add one more voice for the Gulp Alive 1 inch minnow. It's amazing how well these work.

I use a #6 Octopus hook tied directly on the line 8 inches above a 1/8 oz drop shot weight. Work it ...

Just a heads up on a good price. Tatula LT 1000 for $163. Good deal on a quality, lightweight reel. 5.8 oz
I just ordered one.

I bought one of the Bass Pro Panfish Elite rods about a month ago. I got the 6 ft UL rated rod.
I really like it. Has a sensitive blank with a fast tip. Fuji guides and reel seat. I have...

I used to keep ones 8 inches and over. But now that I'm retired and get to
fish more I just keep the ones that swallow the hook and would not live
if I threw them back.

Gorgeous fish ! Congrats on finding that bed. Should give you some fun for a while.

I was in Bass Pro a couple of weeks ago to pick up some line and strolled by the spinning rod
rack on the way out. I saw the "Panfish Elite" series of rods and vaguely remembered this thread.
The...

I have a Trapara 6 ft. 2 piece UL. It's a very nice rod. But the action is a bit slow for me. Major Craft calls the Trapara's action "Regular".

The next step up they call "Regular/Fast". I...

Good job. $5 is less than I paid for my caps.

I got tired of this same “situation”. PO’d actually. So I bought some old style caps to fit my tanks and life is good.

I would add that I did throw the EPA caps in my recyclable trash bin...
