I would only sell all of my fishing equipment to buy more fishing equipment! Fish or die!!!!!!!!!!

IMG_2146.jpg A nice 7.1 pound fish on BFS tackle last night. I was on em with a new prototype plastic that I created. It's going to be interesting to see if it catches fish everywhere. My creation caught six on the first seven casts. I don't know if it's that good, or it is just something different...

I forgot the non-fish species on my list. Mallard in mid-air with a spook Grebes Cormorant Coots Heron Several kinds of turtles Beaver Sea lion Geez I fish a lot! :D Did you boat flip the sea lion, or was it a long distance release? I've had them come up and eat my bait in Newport Harbor while walk...

That Crystal Glow Alabama Shad is a current bait. The packaging looks recent. The other two colors look to be recent runs, but not on their site. Go fish them. They all catch fish.

Does the newer ported TD Zillion Ray's spool fish similar to the old non-ported one that I have? I don't like ported spools, but I almost bought one when I bought a PE long cast spool lately. Like most people, I love the old non-ported Ray's TD Zillion spool.

I couldn’t get over the sweaty dirty sock smell. They work, but not so well that I will put up with something that nasty. :sick: :lol: I'll probably never spend $10 on a pack of plastics, but do they really smell that bad? They definitely have a strong odour to them. I don't find they smell like sw...

I have won a few Quantum baitcasters in tournaments over the years. I also tuned quite a few when I worked in a shop. They do okay. I'm a Daiwa guy, but my son's do fine when I give them the Quantums. I can't turn my back on them though, because they try to pick up my Daiwa's :D I was fixing a backl...

A very interesting topic. I'm pretty limited, and I'm happy with that. For example, for about 6 years from the late 90s to mid 2000s, I used ONLY topwater baits, mostly poppers and walkers, which are my confidence baits to this day. And, it was fun. In early 90s for 3 or 4 years, I threw jerkbaits ...

Make sure that your spool and all other bearings are lubed. I use Alchemy Oil Medium Light on all of my SV103 spool bearings and I get good distance with control. They are great for skipping. If you aren't cleaning and lubing your reels regularly, they will feel over-braked and not feel smooth. All ...

There are so many factors that come into play. Sometimes you know the lake and the conditions well enough to force something that you have complete confidence in. This tends to be more effective when the bite is tough for everyone, and one fish can make or break your tournament results. Versatility ...

I've got a Point Blank 69MLXF that is a lot of fun with a 1/10 ounce head and 3" Ned Roboworm. I'm casting to docks, rocks and shallow targets a lot of the time. I use an Alphas reel and 6-8lb Sniper. I step up to a 1/8 ounce head when I am fishing a little deeper. Anything deeper than 15 feet and I...
