Beautiful rainbow.

Don't forget the buff. Hats, etc. protect you from sun's rays from above but don't protect you from sun bouncing off the water.

I’m waiting for the Slab Sauce Speedo.

(There’s no need for Billbob to model that, though). ;)

Please God, don't let there be a "foot modeling" thread.

Stren Crappie is not easy to find. My local Walmart hasn’t stocked it in almost three years. Same goes for Cabela’s.

Sometimes?

Buy a case, too, if haven’t already. ;)

Trout magnet is a 1” deadly killer.

I get my 1/32 oz jigs from Cabela's. For 1/64 oz, you could use the ones that come with the bodies.

Most of these are "paste" floats. They are designed to be fished with a paste for bait. The paste is soft and will quickly dissolve away, leaving the hook bare.

The floats have a very...

Try soft shot like Dinsmore (English) or Super Doux (French). Fly shops (and Bass Pro and Cabela's) carry both.

Soft shot does not damage line like the harder shots do.

Bare hook casts much better than jig head. Jig head plus float can give a "bolo" effect when casting. If you must use a jig head, go as light as possible.

For a reel, I like Daiwa or Shimano. Any major brand of line will work. Same goes for rods.

Try small jigs. Read this and focus on the "how" and "why". The type of jig doesn't matter.

I prefer the “old” Cabela’s but, IIRC, it’s major shareholder was a hedge fund who wanted to sell off Cabela’s assets. Bass Pro stepped in as a buyer to at least save the Cabela’s name. I think...

Climate hysteria is not science. It’s a religion, and a silly cult-like religion at that. They’d be more believable if they could decide on exactly how long we have to save the planet. Their...

This man is David Attenborough. He’s a TV/movie producer, not a scientist. He's just one of many who has bought into the climate change hysteria.

I respect a man who plans out his rod purchases. ;)

I got the shot. The process was a little more involved than I thought. It hurt, and I ended up killing a few guys.

In that specific post, click on “Reply With Quote” on the bottom right (like I just did).

Why not just use a heavier jig and no split shot?

Soap contains animal fat. (Ever watch Fight Club?)

Animal fat is a good attractant. Soap has been used as bait on trot lines for ages.

FWIW, you can catch all the fish you want with a spinning reel. Baitcasters are more of a “bass thing”, even though spinning reels catch plenty of bass.
