How do you guys store your larger swimbaits. Hudds, large glide baits and such. I have mine in a large hard handgun case. Anyone else do this

RJB

Any of you guys throw big swimbaits in the summer and catch them? If so which baits are you using. I’ve been catching them on glide baits but talking about top hook big baits. Thanks

RJB

In the market for another frog rod. Currently use a Daiwa Tatula that I love but they no longer make this same rod. What rod you guys recommend?
Looking for something light with good backbone. Thanks

RJB

Looking for a rod to throw glide baits on that’s not a stiff broomstick. Most are 7’9 but would love a 7’6 if possible. Don’t need a rod for baits heavier then 3 ounces. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

RJB

When you guys are pitching plastics around that are Texas Rigged, what size weight do you usually use? I know it varies on delta but I mostly fish lakes. Thanks

RJB

Want to start throwing around a trash fish. I never fish with swimbaits. For those of you guys who like fishing with Trash Fish, I’m wondering if you are fishing it literally on the bottom only or are you reeling it just off the bottom? Thanks

RJB

I took the Boat U.S test. Overall it took about 2.5 hrs and it was pretty simple and straight forward plus it was free! If your going to take it the test I would do Boat U.S.

RJB

Been using spinnerbaits for years both with trailers and without. Just curious how most of you fish them?

RJB

Have any of you guys bought this? Wondering if it’s worth the money? Thanks

RJB

For those of you who fish this color what time of year do you find it working the best? I have a bunch of plastics in this color but never use them for some reason. Thanks!!

RJB

With Gas prices sky rocketing again I wouldn’t want to drive to Arizona!!

RJB

Thanks for the info. Pretty awesome. What will they think of next!!

RJB

I’ve noticed these lately and couldn’t find anything on internet. What are they for? Thanks

RJB

Have any of you guys had a chance to fish with this bait? If so what do you think?

RJB

There isn’t much more than riding a long to do. I’m doing it. We had the meeting this evening and got paired up with our pro. You pay to keep your place and then get the money back once you’re finished with your commitment. We photograph each fish and then add it along with the weight to a live scor...

RJB

Looking to get a new rod for fishing football jigs. 3/8-3/4 Oz. Curious what rods you guys use. Thanks

RJB

I have an appointment in Jan to have my boat looked at for a wiring issue at Boatmasters in Livermore. Last year they installed 2 new HDS UNITS on my boat and they did a great job. While it’s there I wanted to have a ghost trolling motor put on and they told me that ghosts have a lot of issues and t...

RJB

I use my carpet steam cleaner that I use at home on the boat carpets. Works great and blows your mind at how dirty the carpets are, even though they look good. You can also on warm day open your lids and spray them good with hose. That way all water drains out and lids dry fast if left open.

RJB

Everything on the battery is tight. It could be the battery/acc shut off switch?

RJB

This morning I was out and after about 40 min I noticed my graphs shut off. Then I checked my switches and horn and nothing. I I shut off main breaker and turned it back on and nothing. Never had this happen before. Continued to fish cause motor still worked and trim. A while later I turned the brea...

RJB

Any of you guys throw or have thrown A-rigs in the summer in lakes that aren’t full of vegetation? I fish a couple watershed lakes that don’t have any weeds and was thinking about chucking one around. Thanks

RJB

This is across from Mandeville. They are burrowing into levee. Our Levee superintendent discovered a hole on side of levee and while checking it out 2 of these ran out right in front of him. One was normal brown and other had a white face which I hadn’t seen before! Thanks for the input guys!!

RJB

I have seen tons of these over the years while fishing the river and always thought they were mink. I never had seen one with a white face. Is this a mink?

RJB

I literally was just reading the new BASSTIMES and there was a section about Mark Menendez having the same problems and other issues. He started taking CBD SOFTGELS by Revital Outdoors and he said it has helped him tremendously!

RJB

And to think, he’s not even in a $50-100,000 bass boat like a lot of us have!!

RJB

On Durasafe website they are $45 per side and I just checked out Bassboat Technologies and the pair is $90 so it makes sense. Thanks

RJB

Any of you guys use the Dura Safe Elock on your electronics? Was thinking of buying a set but noticed they don’t sell as a pair but individuallly. Those of you who have them, do you put one on each side of your graph or do you only need the one?

Thanks

RJB

I’ve been on the hunt for a good warm pair of gloves for those cold late winter and early spring days on the water. Looked at the STRIKER Glove/Mitt that is waterproof and has thumb and index finger exposed but the reviews aren’t the greatest. What gloves have you guys found that you like? Thanks

RJB

In a few weeks I’m having new graphs put on my boat. I was interested in feed back from the guys who have active target. Thanks

RJB

Looks just like reaction Innovations “Bad Shad Green”

RJB

Rod your using prolly has too stiff of a tip to it. Try a diff rod with a fast tip and you shouldn’t loose them.

RJB

Like title says, curious what size weight you guys use when throwing plastics on the delta. Not punching! Thanks

RJB

Been looking to get a GoPro “STYLE” Camera that can film while I fish but more importantly take good pics of me and friends when we catch nice fish? The video part isn’t as important as the pic quality. Do any of you have something like a GoPro that can be attached to a pole that fits in the stern l...

RJB

Ok sounds easy enough. Thanks guys. Guess my main question is, do I just have to bolt it on and plug it in and it will be good to go?

RJB

Not surprising, I’ve heard that everything has gone to hell since Basspro bought up everything.

RJB

I currently have a Minnkota trolling motor on my 2013 Ranger Z119. If I buy a Ultrex can I just mount it on the boat and be good to go or will I have to do anything else? Thanks

RJB

I loved buying everything I needed from them because it would show up in a day or two. Used to place multiple orders in a week and receive them in no time. I just placed a basic order yesterday and it won’t ship for a couple weeks? That’s mind blowing!!

RJB

I’ve been buying from them for years and noticed the past few months their shipping takes forever, even living in the same state they are located in. Is it cause of Covid?

RJB

Mitch wrote:90% sure your wiring is sufficient for 36v, but you'll need to add 1 more battery, Jumper wire, and either a 4 bank charger or an additional 1 bank charger. You'll also need to upgrade to a 60amp breaker.

Mitch you are the man! Thanks. I wouldn’t have thought about upgrading the breaker.

RJB

I’m sure this has been covered but I want to buy a new Ultrex for my 2013 Ranger which is a 24v system. If I convert it to 36v I can get the 112 lb thrust motor. My question is, is it hard to convert it over and second, would I have to buy a new charger as well? Thanks!!

RJB

In what scenario would someone want to use such a heavy Chatterbait? I’ve noticed some come in weights this heavy. Any help would be great. Thanks

RJB

I have Centennial’s that came with boat when I bought it brand new. They are sealed and I’m on my 6th yr with them. I have charged them a million times and still have lots of power. I do need to replace them because of how old they are but I’m going to run them again for sure!!!! Check them out! Int...

RJB

We build 3 rods I'll recommend. The 806CB was made for the 10 XD and throws the 8XD extremely well too. Paul Mueller (Today's BASS Champ) wanted a signature rod for 10 XD because it's one of his top baits and he loves Glass. So I made an 805 CB Glass with his name on it. We sell some of both. If yo...

RJB

I’m in the market for a new rod that fishes the deep diving cranks like a 10XD, smooth and easy. Would like a rod that is around 7’6. All the cranking rods I’ve been looking at, only handle up to a 1oz bait. Please help me! Thanks

RJB

I need to get a new Starting battery group 27 for my boat and was wondering what batteries you guys use. Bought my boat new in 2013 and replaced the battery 2 yrs ago with an Interstate. On Monday I plugged my boat in and all batteries charged but the starter. It won’t take a charge anymore. Wonderi...

RJB

Any of you know what the pellets are actually called? What chemical it actually is or at least the name of the product?

RJB

6th Sense makes some awesome squarebills in some fantastic colors. You should check them out!

RJB

Hi Everyone, Next week During the week I’m heading to Oroville for the first time. I would like to spend a day or two just focusing on catching largemouth. I was curious if anybody on this forum would be willing to share some insight with me, or point me in the right direction for largemouth. If you...

RJB

With 7 boats yesterday, you didn’t have to catch a fish and you still got a plaque haha for 5th place haha

RJB

I would look at the Daiwa Tatula As well for a frog rod. Bought one last year and it’s super light with a great backbone. I throw my A-Rigs on it as well. Worth looking at! Good luck!
