Daiwa Spinmatic-C In 8 Foot Length: Opinions ?
Hi, Lots of fun trying to decide on a new rod, but a bit uncertain without the possibility of actually trying several of them out. Anyway, it helps thinking about it in getting thru the winter here. Have narrowed it down to a Daiwa Spinmatic-C Ultralight, or the ProAngler Tackle one (Spinning). Both...

Wacky Worm Rigging Question ?
Hi, Regarding Wacky Worm rigging: Do you folks find it necessary, or even a good idea, to use those "O' rings for the hook; the kind that they show going around the worm ? Or, a needless complication, and just hook the hook right thru the center of the worm ? Any "meaningful "differences in hookups,...

From OP For Bladerunne Re: Offset Work With Longer Shanks ?
Hi, Much thanks for the detailed info. Will give your suggestions a try, most definitely. Sure is lots to learn. I've been trying Wacky Worm rigs for the first time this year. So far, a bit of a disappointment. Can always catch "stuff", invariably though, on a Mepps Spinner. Will try your suggestion...

From OP: Re: Mepps In-Line Spinners & Trailer Hooks ?
Hi, Thanks for all your time in helping me understand Trailers a bit more. One more quick one, and that'll be it for "Trailers," I think. On these really small Mepps in-line spinners, do you attach the Grub, or other plastic, to the hook (single or treble) that is already part of the Mepps, or would...

Hi,
Thanks for help.
How specifically do you rig it ?
Off of a Mepps single hook or treble style ? Either ?
Skirt Mepps also ?
Any details would be appreciated. Have never used trailer-hooks on anything.
Thanks,
Bob

Mepps In-Line Spinners & Trailer Hooks ?
Hello, Fish locally for mainly small Crappies, LM and SM Bass. My favorite lures are those Mepps in-line Spinners; usually their smallest sizes like "0", or perhaps one or two sizes larger; but still "small". Always trying to learn, so let me ask please: a. Do folks use Trailer hooks (generally) beh...

Trailers: Using Questions
Hi, Live outside of Boston. Pond fishing mainly; small Crappies, Smallmouth, etc. Have a 7' UL spinning setup. Have never used any kind of Trailers, before, but thought I might try. Use the very small Mepps Spinners a lot. Also use those Johnson and Kastmaster Silver Spoons in the smallest sizes oft...

From OP For BladrunnerRe: Offset Work Hooks With Longer Shan
Hi, Thanks for help; appreciate it. Am retired now, and enjoy fishing a lot, but frankly, still consider myself a novice at it. Anyway, live outside of Boston, and do most of my fishing in a nearby Pond. Have loads of Crappies in it, and some Smallmouth and Largemouth too. Have an UL spinning rig. U...

Offset Work Hooks With Longer Shanks ?
Hi, Do mainly Pond fishing; small crappie's, etc. Use those Offset Worm style hooks on various sorts of plastics. Would like to find these hooks with an extra-long shank so that I can get the hook point further back in the plastic. Think I'm missing a lot of hook ups due to the point being too far f...

Line Tangling On Lure: Hints To Avoid ?
Hello, Do Pond fishing for the most part, and use a 7' UL Spinning rig. Rigged with about (hard to remember at my age) 6 pound test Power Pro. Have been trying some small Rapallas lately. Both floating and sinking styles. All with two treble hooks. I have about a four foot mono leader, with snap swi...

From OP: Re: Tube Bait And Jig Heads
Hi,
Thanks for all the help.
Appreciate it.
Question: For a Tube Bait, with the internal weighted hook:
Are these fished usually "only" via a slack drop, or are they effective also if slowly retrieved ?
What's the typical method ?
Thanks again,
Bob

From OP: Re: Tube Bait And Jig Heads
Hi Folks,
Thanks for advice and help.
Much appreciated.
O.K., I'll put the jig inside the tube, as suggested.
But, would like to ask:
Under what conditions do they, usually, work "better" outside the tube vs all inside the tube ?
just trying to get a little education.
Thanks again,
Bob

Tube Bait And Jig Heads
Hi, Thought I would try some Tube Baits with Jig Heads for the very first time. Do Pond fishing mainly. So, I bought some small tube baits. The kind with the multitude of wiggly tails. Seem to be of the hollow inside type that I purchased. Probably should have thought about this some more, but also ...

Shimano Stradic 2500: Quest's Re What's In Box ?
Hello, Just received (from Amazon) my new Stradic 2500 Spinning Reel. Looks like a nice product, but whoever does their paper work and instructions did not do a very competent job. The User Manual is really poor, IMHO. Just a folded sheet with an exploded view, and some descriptions of the features ...
