I LOVE slow rolling big baits in 15'+, for soft baits I like the 12" osprey and for hard baits, I fish my own brand.

While our bass may be small, we grow some big pike and walleye.

Thanks again to ALL! Pike are my life, I chase them 10 months a year and have been doing so for many years. The big fish IS my current PB but that lake has kicked out 5 fish bigger already this fall. I will be back at it this weekend looking for that 50"

Since I caught the big bait sickness, I get a lot of trips with no fish, but when they come it is usually well worth it !!!

Of all my reels, only one is a low pro. I go with the round for line capacity.

I throw swimbaits all the time, I am just looking for that one or 2 big bites. Big baits improve the odds that when a fish does it it will be bigger.

Thanks ALL !! Of course I released both fish so they can grow some more. These fish make up for all my trips to this lake that have seen me skunked.

Only landed 2 fish last weekend, but it was worth it !! Both fish fell to a 7" 3oz LT swimbait. This fish was 41" x19" and was a great catch http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t137/flyfishgeeks/OCM/101611-53-pike25129.jpg This beast was 42" x26" , and by far one of the fattest pike I have seen !! ht...

I have it on ALL of my regular rigs and use it as bite leader on swimbait rigs. I love it and the biggest problem I have with it is when I need more!

I have some pure white baits and they have their days! Biggest fish last year was on an ivory white SB in November

I just change colors with water conditions and keep on fishin em. Natural colors for clear water and bright for stained. I am throwing 8" line through SB's and clarity seldom seems to be much of an issue

http://www.dynamiclures.com/ I haven't tried these, but I think I'll get a couple. I like throwing these types of baits for stream trout. I have tried these, great price point. Fished the Colorado river with them Saturday and landed 5 species on the same lure. I had to change out the hooks, they ar...

WTH ? $12 for a 2.5" lure! Is anybody using these or are they just way over priced ? They have some good looking baits, but I can get almost the same lure for 1/3 their price

Mine take a while, but I am not ordering stock products and I get larger quantities. Most of his stock stuff ships fairly quick, he is in on the East coast. Check out the pic on the testimonials page, I took it.

YEAH, that is way better than $8.99 for 10
