What components do you like in your Rod?

I’ve been getting more into my rods knowing from pass experience in different trades the tools make the job easier. When I first started fishing the rod and reel combo out of BPS or the rod from Wal-Mart or K-Mart would be just fine. Then I started to upgrade my rods from well know makers of rods b...

Re: Fall Nutcase Classic??

The 27th sounds good and even Berryessa. God knows I can’t catch anything on the Delta. What days are the Bass-a-thon?

DIY – Line keeper on spool of line.

This is a real fast fix – you know when some lines come with a rubber band with that little pull-tab – they work great. But when it breaks they are hard to find. I use to just put a rubber band on the spool but had a hard time pulling the rubber band up. Try this little fix – take a regular rubber ...

DIY – Tail on AC Plug – Swimbait

As you can see by the AC Plug I’m using it has been around a few years. One of the things that continuously came off was the tail. It started me to thinking there has to be a better way and one that look just as good or better and was long lasting. Took some “Round Living Rubber” used for jigs and ...

DIY - Painting Bullet Weights – Not!

I have been painting bullet weights (tungsten and lead) for years with all types of paint and even Power Coat and still suffer chip and have to paint the weight again. Here is a little trick that I came up with one day that pays in longevity, well until you lose the weight. http://i673.photobucket....

Re: Elections should be held on November 11

On 2nd of July all taxes have to be paid!
On 3rd of July we have our elections!
On the 4th of July we have fireworks!

Re: Someone informed me

I think he is looking for those shoes that Tom was wearing yesterday at the Monster Bass Jam – the ones that add 3 inches. The ones that have springs under the heel.

Happy Birthday Mike

Re: Rattle Baits???

Good bait to talk about – I have one tied on 60% of the time through out the year. I use the Lipless (rattle trap) mostly when fishing the grass and that mean the Delta or Clear Lake. The method I like is pulling it through the grass. When it hangs up is when I reel back the pole and pull really ha...

Re: No longer a CBC partner BUT

I really like the CBC format, low entry fee with a chance to take 10K. Plus I like not worrying about a back seat. As for you fishing it Gary, come on and bring it. You are ten or should I say hundred times the angler that I am and any given Sunday as the saying goes. One last thought – I did not e...

Tony and Lee, I was thinking

How about is this idea? On the main Western Bass forum page (the Board index) why not list the “Signature Edition Bass Fishing Forum” under or above the nick name fishing forum? Just an idea – like I told you I spotted the New Logo for the “Signature Edition” and said to myself that is a new cool l...

Re: When I first started serious bass fishing

The Pro I was fishing with yesterday at the Delta WON Bass Pro/Am used a Texas rigging worms without the weight being pegged. He fished it in the grass working it show and landed an 8 pounder. Best fish I have seen in a long time. I have a Texas rig tied on the boat all the time but I peg the weigh...
