ZMan has a patent on the "Chatterbait" design. This is the reason for the all the letters going out to any lure manufacture whether you make one or not. Pretty much any manufacture who makes bass lures received a letter about the patent. If they deemed your product to be within the patent ...

Rich, I have owned Lowrance on all my boats and I switched over last year to HB. I installed two 898c SI units on my boat and I'm glad I did. A couple of reasons I switched was, I like that the SI is internal without having to install the extra module, the ease of operation with the HB is great, the...

I own both the Ultra MBX series and also the Recon series. I really like the MBX series, but the Recons are an awesome rod. Phenix hit a grandslam when they came out with the Recon series. They are light, very well balanced with excellent sensitivity. Between the Ultra MBX and the Recon series, they...

Hey Rod, I own both the Ultra MBX and the Recon rods. My personal preference is the Recon rods. When I throw the Wadda jig, I prefer the PHX-C714MH. I use this rod on the Delta and the lakes. I also throw football heads up to 3/4oz on it. For small hollow body swimbaits, this rod does really well. I...

I want to say Thank You to all who ordered the Susan G Komen Wadda Jig. We were able to raise $1358.50 through sales of the jig. ALL of the money will be donated to the Susan G Komen Foundation.

Thank you,
Troyce Taylor

I have a few of the Recons and they are a great rod. Phenix did well with these rods and the price point is very good for this rod. The rods I have are well balanced, light, sensitive and have backbone. The actions and ratings are spot on. I've been very impressed with them and plan to purchase a fe...

After 2 weeks, we've raised over $800 :D :D . That's awesome. Still a ways away from our goal, but we are getting closer. As some have said in other posts, order 1 or as many as you would like. It all helps and 100% of the proceeds are being donated to the Susan G Komen Foundation. Thank you to all ...

I've only owned Mercury's. All engines have their problems. As Mike's post above, it comes down to customer service and whether they stand behind their product. On my next boat, I'll probably put a Mercury on it, but that's not 100%. I'll look at all motors and see what fits the best

You can also use a RI Beaver in Spring Break. This pink jig will catch fish. I made this jig for Julie over 3yrs ago and she did real well at McClure on both the Pink/White and Pink/Purple with a spring break trailer. It was her favorite jig!!!!! Thanks to all who have ordered the jigs to help the c...

TTaylor

A huge thanks to everyone who has ordered jigs so far. In the 1st week, we've raised over $400. That's a great start. Still a ways to go to reach the $2000 goal, but I believe we can get there. We still have 3 more weeks. This is a great cause. This can affect anyone at anytime as I found out. The r...

I use either a Phenix 764MH or a 804MH in the Recon series. I prefer a longer rod when throwing a spinnerbait or crankbait. Also, there are times were I like the X10 for throwing a spinnerbait. Good load up on any of the 3 rods. Phenix has a great lineup in the Recon series. Won't break the bank but...

TTaylor

Congrats Terry to you and your team partner on the win. Awesome job. Your hard work is paying off

TTaylor

I have the same opinion as Mark1. These rods are very light, yet you can use a heavy action rod all day and it does feel like you've been using a medium action rod. Very light, sensitive but have the backbone you need. I've been very impressed with the ones I've purchased so far

TTaylor

WHB,

A chatterbait style bait is already in the works. Cooch and the prostaff guys have the prototype now. Once all the "kinks" are worked out, it'll hit the market.

Thanks,
Troyce

TTaylor

Phenix are great rods. Congrats on the new rod. After you use it, I'm sure you'll be purchasing a few more in the near future

TTaylor

Rich,

Thank you for the kind words. I hope you enjoy the jigs.

Merry Christmas to you and your family

Thanks,

Offduty, We are in the process of redesigning the website. We have added some new colors and products and also our logo has changed. Gator is working on the site and hopefully it'll be done in a month or so. The Hook, Mel Cottons and Limit Out carry our products. If you have any questions, you can g...

As per Julie's wishes, please send donations to the address in Cooch's post in her name. The church will then donate everything in Julie's name to the Susan G. Koeman Breast Cancer Foundation. This is one of the charity's we have supported over the years. Julie's dream was for some day they find a c...

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, phone calls, e-mails, posts and support. It is very much appreciated. Julie fought all the way till she passed. Julie has fought breast cancer on and off since 2004. She never gave up and wouldn't give up. A week before she passed, she was still ...

Gator,

Hang in there bud. Whenever you're in CA, you've got a room at the house. If there's anything that you need, give me a call

Take care,

Mike,

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Julie and I send our condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers

I have never been thru chemo, but my wife is going thru it for her second time right now for Stage 3 invasive breast cancer. She's going thru a very extreme chemo treatment right now. If all stays according to plans, she'll be done by the end of March. Infections would be one of the biggest things t...

Dan,

The brown and black wadda jigs have 40 strands.

The brn/pur, brn/avc, blk/blu & blk/red have 46 strands.

The brn/orn has 43 strands

The rubber is the regular round living rubber

The weedguard is a 40strand weedguard for flexibility

I hope this helps

Troyce

Congrats.

That's a real nice sack of fish

I use KVD Line Conditioner religiously. This stuff is awesome.

It works great on flouro.

I use them on all my reels including my spinning reels.

They really help to keep your fingers from slipping off the handle

Thanks everyone for your advice. I will definately be purchasing one. I wasn't sure about the pictures that I saw on their website as far as how tight the pedal was. Doesn't sound like it will be a problem I have a bad lower back and I have been thinking about it for awhile. I don't have the stones ...

I am looking at buying a ComforTroll to install in my boat. I have a 74lb MinnKota trolling motor. Will this pan work well for the MinnKota?? I went on their website and looked at the pictures, but I couldn't see if there was "space" on the sides with the MinnKota's they had. Thanks in adv...

When I fish McClure, Pedro or Melones, it's about $85 a trip

When I fish the Delta, it's about $110 a trip

I run more on the Delta than I do on the lakes. I have started to run at around 4500 to 4800rpms which saves on gas.

Congratulations on your personal best. We'll have to go out so you can show me how to fish them jigs

Jig with either a Zoom or Paca Craw trailer

Excellent article. Gives you something to think about while you're on the water and also in the things you do each day

Troyce

I use either a St.Croix Avid AC70MHF (7' MH Fast) or a St.Croix Tournament TBC70MHF (7' MH Fast).

Both rods have a great back bone and the tip action is perfect for jigs IMHO

It's about total time in a day...... 2 to 5 minutes at a time adds up to more time to have your bait in the water. Those extra minutes gained in a tournament can be huge. Every minute your baits in the water during a tournament, the more chances you have of catching fish. I know that you can't catch...

TTaylor

At times, speed does matter. During certain times of the year, you may have quite a few areas that you will be fishing during day. The faster you get to each one, the more time you'll have to fish that area. The Delta is one body of water where speed plays a part. If the tournament you're fishing is...

I have the LMS332C on my console. It's an awesome unit. The GPS portion is great also. Easy to read at night or high noon. I will be replacing the X135 on the front with a 102C because of how well the LMS332C works.

TTaylor

I like the Arkie style jigs using either fine frogs hair rubber or round rubber from LivingRubber. Hand tied is the only kind I will use. I prefer 90deg hooks for the lakes and 60deg hooks for the Delta. Check out Cooch's Wadda Jig by TnT Baits. This is the 60deg Arkie Style jig. Goes thru the tulle...

I am looking at purchasing the LMS332C. Is this a good unit for the price?? Will this unit accept the Delta cards that are out there??? If so, which card would be the best??? Thanks in advance for any help.

I started using SunLine Flouro about 4 months ago and I love it. Casts great and it's not as stiff as some of the other flouro's that I have used. I have been using the Sniper version. Haven't had any problems. A bit pricey, but well worth it in my opinion.

TTaylor

I use both the 1/4 and 3/8oz drop shot weights. I like to feel the weight on the bottom. Most of my bites are pressure bites. As for line, when I use flouro, I use a small swivel to help eliminate the line twist. Without the swivel, the line twist is to much.

Thanks fellas for the directions to Paradise Point Marina. I usually launch out of Ladds, but since it's having work done, I have to find a new launch site. Again, thanks for the directions.

I am looking for directions to the Paradise Point Marina on the Delta. Have not launched there before. I would be driving from Ceres. I believe it is off 8 mile road from Interstate 5. Thanks in advance for any help.
