Congrats to Emily and Billy on their win. 82 boat field is impressive great job to Kevin Cheek and crew.

Good idea the dunk fest was getting tired

I ordered a 30 series as well, 60%off on this excellent reel is no joke. Hope to see some pictures of your catches on it this year

I hope all the participants have a great tournament and we see some big bags come across the scales!

Amazing Deal from ABU Garcia 60% off MGX Reel

These aren't going to last.

Should be a great event, to start the season

Canopy Grenades jig with a Berkley Max Scent Creature hog. I have caught my biggest fish on the jig!

Looks like KB has a killer lineup on the Demo tank. It’s always great to catch up with old friends and make new ones.

Congrats to Steven and Jerrod I wonder if they’ll be fishing BBT Motherload this Saturday

great job Caleb that is a donkey on that light setup. Great time of year to catch the bigguns, see you at the ISE show.

Looking forward to it KB man that Lowrance booth is going to be busy with the new Ghost on display!

Ok ISE is just two weeks away Jan 16-19th I know I will be there with my son and friends on Saturday 18th. I'll probably be lurking by the Berkley Fishing and Abu Garcia booth, or scoping out the Phoenix Rods, which are conveniently across the aisle to Fisherman's Warehouse. Perhaps drool over the B...

Hey Jigs, Ive got no love for Zman or affiliations. I do have love for several lure builders that received the aforementioned letters and had to change their designs to an inferior design. So really it was more about having an even playing field amongst competitors but your not interested in hearing...

The crappy part is that you just got the rod and looking at the break it doesnt look to me like it broke from being smashed in a car door. Having to pay an additional 100 bucks for a brand new rod sucks for that you could have gotten an IMX.

This is great you’re absolutely in the wrong legally and ethically as other bladed jig companies have been forced to change their designs because of Zmans aggressive resolve to protect their patents and I point that out I’m wrong? You dm me staying you sold over 120 but because it’s not on the “open...

Very true you can build the very same thing they build i dont see why you would want to. Also there nothing they can say if there not sold on the open market. Very true you can infringe on patents personally as long as you don't sell them. I guess it was silly of me to think that the owner and desi...

looks good jigs, i would hope that there is a split ring between the jig eye and the blade or expect a letter from Zman. They are aggressive in protecting their patent.

thank you

I agree that perhaps CA Bass Federation or even a local Bass Club would be a great start! Folsom Bass Team meets every first Wednesday of the month in Folsom https://folsombassteam.com/ of course if you dont live in that area ask at the local tackle store about local clubs. Where do you live and wha...

Welcome back Steve! As a lot of guys have already suggested lots has changed and nothing has really changed. The more recent reels are a lower profile, lighter and cast with more efficiency. I still have some of the OG Curado Bantams but i have been replacing them out over the last couple of years. ...

i never tried to get it out of mine, i would consider anything food grade and plastic safe a good option. My go to would be baking soda and a green pad.

Great Post, i saw this on Facebook and didnt think about sharing it here. it sounds like the pipe has shifted off and now is an obstruction. So many of us are conditioned to be able to go in and out of there on plane its no bueno.

Makes total sense KB, centralized DC to better serve the customers.

Bump - Good Luck to all anglers fishing this event. I know it's an important one so be prepared and keep mentally sharp!

By Far the best in the area. Sometimes there is a long wait to get in, but that says it all.. A lot of people Want them to work on their boats.

If your swimbait rod works for frogs, it will work for ploppers. Agreed i run my ploppers on my open water frog rod. I like the Phoenix feather 7'3" XH or the Abu Garcia Veritas Rod MODEL # VTSC73-7 http://www.abugarcia.com/abugarcia-rods-casting-rods/abu-garcia-veritas-casting/1447313.html#st...

Very cool, thanks for sharing the Video Brass Monkey - thats funky monkey

Ive had a few very fruitful days on the river with a jerkbait in hand - As Gary said the mouths of marinas, dead end sloughs etc... watching birds work is also a key factor i have been in em hot both strippers and largies running boils. The most effective was hanging it up in the grass of teh outsid...

Fortunately we still have several organizations still hanging in there to give us a LOT of choices. WE as the competitive angler need to support them with your time, hard cash :), and good respect and spirits. Tell them when they are doing a good job and provide constructive ideas to improve.

Thanks ACP BBT is always looking for feedback from the Anglers and the BBT has a steering committee that meets annually to review suggestions and make any changes that may be necessary. There have been a lot of changes in the tournament and bass fishing world over the last decade look at how youth a...

Back in the day the there were a lot of prize boats given away for a reasonable entry fee for the Draw & Pro-Am tournaments but now your paying over $800+ to fish as a Pro with the possability of winning $20,000 if enough guys enter & you're able to cash in on all the contingencies. Won Bas...

He actually got it back last week. Looks brand new!

Great to hear, i look forward to seeing you and your pops at the BBT TOC.

Fish the Berkeley General - I dont have this issue

Also check out Frenzy Baits Wacky Saddle or just step down a size in your O-ring - I get mine at ACE two different sizes

C&C Marina, Bucks Outboards, Gone Fishing, any reputable outboard mechanic will be able to look it over. Your friend may want to ask for the latest compression test, service history, and hour break down before even taking it to a mechanic. Ask the previous owner where it was serviced etc...

or transporting yourself to and from fishing.

Chad if this is the case the Spotted Bass will be put on the kill list as they are non native fish killing native endangered species

Ohnoillegalfish wrote:Eh might as well just go with a medium because I only fish in lakes or rivers with no rocks and only throw nightcrawlers and senkos

Whatever floats your worms -

The most versatile rod for bass fishing is a medium heavy rod if you were going to just get one of the two you mentioned i would go with the 704. This power rod may not be "the best" for every technique but it'll allow you ample versatility.

3000 - 3300 depending on size / style is what i am seeing but they wont be available until December.

Check out the Revo S Spinning Reel this should balance well with your new rod and with the Carbon Matrix frame.

this sucks rob - damn tweekers suck - sorry this happened and thank you for the heads up

Dont forget the Lowrance Ghost will be on the market very soon. I saw Ish Monroe's this weekend, up close and personal and if i was getting a new TM right now - id go Ghost so quiet i mean on deployment on moving on everything and its fully integrated into Lowrance. Very cool

Awesome report, I am sure your son was stoked!
