Re: Inline Spinners

Although I bought a 1/2 oz spinner with the intention of fishing it for bass I don't think I ever used it. They are my go-to for trout & panfish though. I always have one tied on one of my UL setups. My favorite are white, black & yellow Rooster Tails in 1/16 or 1/8 sizes but I have all brands and c...

Re: Post Your weirdest catch ever

The only inanimate object i've ever caught was old fishing line. Not very exciting. Weirdest fish catch was probably this 4" tiger musky I caught in a swamp on a 1.5" tube jigging for bluegill on my lunch break.

Rarenium vs Twin Power decision

So i'm looking into a spinning setup for weightless plastics. Mostly 3, 4 and 5" senkos. Will likely be going with a Dobyns 703SF unless there's anything better under $300. I was originally looking at a 2500 Stradic FJ but i'd like to get the weight down a little more. I'm having trouble deciding be...

Re: Multi species day ...

Multi species days are always fun. I had a couple over the last few weeks on the ultra light. Smallmouth, largemouth, white perch, yellow perch, black crappie, bluegill, rock bass and suckers. I could have done without the suckers though. Those things creep me out when they start gagging when you're...

Re: What's your shakeyhead set up?

I don't have a dedicated shakey head rig either but i've also been looking into getting one. Pretty sure i'm going to end up going with a Dobyns 703SF / Pflueger Patriarch 9530.

Re: New 2013 combos

Excellent work...beautiful backdrop and water color in your neck of the woods. Thanks for sharing. Thanks! I think i'm pretty lucky to live in the middle of the NYC water supply system. Plenty of water to fish around here. Here's a couple more fish from earlier this month. Unfortunately I haven't b...

Awesome! At least every time you look at those chips on your new reel there will be a good memory behind it.

Re: A non-fancy USDM step up

rt dak, You know, now that the Monkey is chewing on you, we expect to see "A fancy USDM step up" next! :lol: Now, let us know how it fished. Fishes great, really hurls the baits farther than I ever could before. I've never had such a lightweight combo, balances nicely. I have since bought another C...

Re: Tackle Bag - Non Boater

I have the blue BPS bag in the first post. I bought it mainly because it's a backpack so it leaves my hands free to carry my rods. I holds a lot, much more than you'll need for a day on the water. I have five 370 sized boxes, probably 25 bags of worms and soft plastics, 6 spools of line, all sorts o...
