Re: How Old is 3" Bass?
You do have to fish there regularly to catch them consistently on DVL. It's not like a lot of other lakes that I can just show up to and catch them because I have experience there. The stripers destroyed all of that shad. It was amazing around 2010 when they spawned and you could catch 30 pounds in...

Re: How Old is 3" Bass?
I thought you might be one of the guys on here that has mentioned that he fished DVL. Yesterday, I caught a bunch of the fat 8" bass that DarkShadow referenced in his post. Those are probably from last year because the are so fat and healthy. It's possible that they could be from two years ago...

Re: How Old is 3" Bass?
If you were at DVL, that fish is probably from an early spawner this year. Some fish will spawn in early February. It doesn't take long for them to get a few inches in length. They grow much slower once they get closer to 12 inches. The back of coves and the shallows will be loaded with fingerlings...

Re: How Old is 3" Bass?
It really depends on the biomass at your lake.
I know some lakes where a 3" bass is last year's spawn.
I know some lakes where a 3" bass was spawned 2 years ago simply because there is lack of food, and cannibalization is common.

Re: Daiwa J-Fluoro Samurai Fluorocarbon
FWIW, I was tying a double San Diego jam knot.
This is the same knot I tie with Shooter, Sniper, and now Shimano's Mastiff and have zero problem with.

Re: Core 50 Sideplate Screw
Bantam, From the schematics (thank goodness I keep all of them), it's labeled part 4044. It's on the handle side, which has 2 screws, both 4044. I found a site that has aftermarket screws, which says replace part number BNT 4044. But I'd rather get it from ya'll. i may or may not have one i gotta c...

Core 50 Sideplate Screw
Guys,
What's the easiest way to get a Core50 MG7 side plate screw?
I caught a fish today and realized it was gone. Hopefully it's not too much of a pain? I don't mind driving to the Shimano Irvine location for a screw.
Thanks!

Re: Do You still Use Lures that You Bought, When You're a Kid?
I still *have* lures that I bought when I was a kid, but there are probably at the bottom of the archeological dig that is my tackle room. All the older stuff is at the bottom. I found a few bags of hand poured worms that were popular in the late 80s and early 90s, but apparently rubber doesn't last...

Re: Rod Action on Website/Product Guide
Pretty much all of the Expride B models are fast or extra fast actions. The parabolic rods will be the cranking rods and will have the G in the model number. These will be the closest to what you had since the Cumara Reaction rods were all moving bait type rods (cranks, jerkbaits, spinnerbait, etc)...

Re: Flick Shake Advice
Quite honestly, I've only thrown the Flick Shake in a Neko rig. The weight I use depends on the conditions, but it's usually thrown on 6 to 8 pound flouro. I don't even drag it either. It's the most boring retrieve ever, because all I do is shake the slack enough for there to be a bow. Then I slowly...

Rod Action on Website/Product Guide
Hey, Why are there some rods on the website/product guide that have the rod's action as just dashes? The backstory: I broke my Cumara Reaction 7'6 ML, which apparently is a f*cking unicorn of a rod, as the length and the parabolic action I can't find anywhere. Since the Expride B line didn't have th...

Light and Long Cranking Setup
I set the hook on a fish with my favorite rod and unfortunately the butt end broke, and I'm now looking for a replacement for a rod that isn't made anymore. Cumara Reaction Series, Gen 1. The random 7'6" "Medium Light" model that worked great with small cranks up to 1/4 ounce. The hap...

Re: Green tinted flouro in 5-6 lb
Sunline used to make a Shooter Invisible (sometimes referred to as Metan) that came in a camo and a green tint. Best line I've ever used. So good that Sunline discontinued it, and just stuck with the regular plain ole Shooter, which feels and fishes different, or at least IMO. https://m.media-amazon...

Re: Bad tackle thread (what to avoid)
You had a chance to use these yet? How’s the hook compared to the Break Blade(diameter, strength)? I’ve been using the Break Blade Winning Spec the last few trips. Head is a little different and the wire extends back into the head. Landed some giants including one of the biggest redfish I’ve had my...
