Hey Steve, I'm right with you--looking at a new F150 in the near future and have been researching trucks like crazy the last few months. As a disclaimer I will say I have not yet test driven any of the new F150's, but I'd think the 2.7 should be a fine choice for towing ANY bass boat. In fact, for m...

Hey all, I've been out of a boat for quite some time now, but would sure like to get another one within the next year or so. The two trucks I've owned -- a Tacoma and now a GMC Sierra -- have both been 2wd with open rear differentials. I've always run aftermarket tires and pulled my boats out of the...

I have always owned a 2wd truck and have never needed 4wd YET on any ramp...saltwater or freshwater. Granted, I have never towed anything large, mostly around 17-18', but have pulled out on some very slick ramps. I notice that lots of guys who have trouble with 2wd vehicles have STOCK tires on their...

I have a like new Fish Hedz Save Phace mask that has only been worn maybe a half dozen times and is in like new condition! This mask is in a cool carbon-fiber style pattern and is very protective when running at high speeds. I haven't had a boat for a couple years so this thing has to go. $40 insure...

I have a bunch of lures in varying condition I need to move. I am selling them in 3 seperate sets, or you can buy 2 or all 3 sets together at a little discount. I am also tossing in some free Roboworm swimbaits with both sets of plugs. The baits range from moderately used to brand new. A few might n...

If you stick that big girl, remember to handle her carefully and release her right there by the nest. I hate seeing an egg-laden female put in a livewell for the whole day only to be released back at the ramp later!!!

Daiwa SOL rod in almost-new condition with hardly any usage. It is model TD-SOL661MFB 6'6" rated for 1/4-3/4oz lures and 6-14lb line. It is extremely light, sensitive, and cool looking! The blank is scratch free and the rod overall looks barely used. This rod seems to be happiest fishing cranks...

Paul W

Is this going to be a catch and release, or kill tournament?

Paul W

Awesome! I have been friends with Matt for a couple years now ever since he bought my Champion boat. Super nice guy and fun to fish with. His site is a great source of big bass info!!

There's so many great jig rods out there right now, but some of my current and past favorites are:

- Powell 733 or 734
- Loomis MBR843 or 844
- Daiwa Zillion 7' MH or H

I handled one when I was out at the Reno Cabela's last week. First off let me say I am not really that big of a Quantum fan. This reel however was very intersting to me....extremely light, comfortable, and had a solid feel to it. The handle grips are eva foam (or something similar) and are a nice sh...

Why is the Delta even on there? It's a great fishery, but technically it's not a lake!! I can see Shasta being #1...it has good fishing for lots of species not just Bass. Tahoe at #2 is an odd choice though, I could see it maybe being #5.

LOVE BUFFS! Here in Florida tons of flats guys wear them. I've been wearing the regular, then the UV buffs for quite awhile now. It's great not having to wear sunscreen on your face and you feel great after a long day on the water. I also wear SPF long sleeves, pants, and sungloves.....my favorite b...

Albright knot. Pretty easy to tie and super strong. I use it for my braid to fluoro connections in saltwater. Caught tons of big Reds, Snook, False Albies, Cobia, Jacks, Tarpon, etc etc etc on it...and of course Bass!

Since when is a 2500 reel giant? Thats pretty much the most popular sized freshwater spinning reel!

Paul Wolter

Paul W

That is crazy! What a lucky guy. Hey you are just up I-75 from me!

Paul Wolter

Paul W

Sure they will, but you probably have the best chance w/ one at or near the surface. I've had them vigorously chase down topwaters, flukes, and swimbaits several times. If you cast near them, they will usually immediately go where the lure landed and if its visible, they'll try to nail it. I have ne...

Paul W

That 804 looks like one mean distance casting crankbait rod! Not a crank stick, but my personal favorite is the 733CEF. The rod is super versatile and absolutely perfect in every way.

I definitely agree with DaveT....well said!

Paul W

Yhea Right ........ Tell that to our CALIFORNIA Deer populations as well with no legal controls of the growing Mountain Lion population as well. :roll: Mountain lions are killing all the deer? :lol: I lived in CA for 22 years...I have never even seen a mountain lion in the wild. How many deer per y...

Paul W

People kill more fish than sea lions ever have or will. Poaching, dams, water diversions, pollution, fishing pressure, etc etc etc etc all take their toll. Everything co-existed just fine before populations exploded, thus having a detrimental effect on the environment. Rather than eradicate sea lion...

That is sad, I liked him a lot on the show. That is what happens when you abuse your body year after year though. He chain smoked and drank red bull all day on top of sleep deprivation and a poor diet. Sad

Paul Wolter

I would opt for a 733 or 734. I have both and love them....light, well balanced, and they have the extra length thats nice for C-rig fishing.

Agreed........this is an absolutely sweet rod for tons of different techniques.

Powell 733CEF....7'3" 3 power. A 734 for thicker nastyness.

All I use anymore is Yo Zuri Hybrid and Sufix.

Crankbaits are very much alive. I never worry about what other people are doing or what the "latest trend" is in techniques. There is a time and place for everything, and cranking will never die

If you want a smaller bayboat that has a low-profile and doesnt cost a ton of cash, check out the Mako 18LTS. They are lighter than most bass boats, and a strong trolling motor will move that thing very well. It is the only bay boat under 20 feet that I have ever seen with a FULL flush rear deck. Th...

Paul W

I have no first hand experience w/ that rod, but by checking out the specs real quick I would say that out of the CB series of rods that would be THE rod for large cranks like the DD22.

Paul W

I am surprised you say the 734 lacks backbone. I have that rod and I have never had a power issue with it. I love that thing for 1/2 and 3/4 oz jigs. I also have a 733 that is killer for 1/2oz jigs. Try a 735 or 765 if you need to step up the power a bit!

Paul W

Paul W

The 701, period! Awesome, awesome, awesome rod for dropshotting. I love it w/ a Sahara 2500 and 6-8lb Sufix. Soft tip with a super fast action and a ton of backbone. Also makes an awesome flats rod for Snook, Reds, and baby Tarpon here in FL!

I used to fish the Russian a lot for Smallies back in the 90's. There is a good population in the river, but most are small. My largest is about 3lbs, but on average they are 10-12" fish. A canoe would be your best option as the river is narrow and shallow, especially up around that part of the...

Paul W

Both are great rods. I really like the 7'3" rods...I have a 734 and love that thing for 1/2 and 3/4 oz jigs. The 735 is sweet too!!! Great Striper rods too for fishtraps, bucktails, and other bulkier baits.
