[quote="SethB"]DFG Dont give a crap about bass :evil: .[/quote] Seth bro, you're totally wrong, DFG love bass because you, me and a zillion other people buy fishing licenses for them and then they use that money for non-bass stuff :lol: :lol: If the $$ was alloted in amount spent for each ...

The fly "micro" guides are readily available at most rod building websites and single foot guides are easy to replace, but I don't imagine the guides will be failing anytime soon. I've built one rod with micro guides, I've yet to really fish it. I'm building some other rods with "big ...

Brian D,

Plumbers Tape - i.e. teflon tape?

BassManDan

Yeah, what he said.

Even after fishing a while, the line will tend to "unpack" on the spool. If you notice this, just make a really long cast and then pinch the line above the reel and retrieve it in to "repack" the spool.

BassManDan

Just a thanks to all who have posted or pm'd me, it is sincerely appreciated. And from what I have so far, there are really some excellent pictures...not naming any names, but some of you need to leave the rods on the deck and keep taking pictures :lol: :lol: Again, thanks all; looking forward to so...

BassManDan

I hadn't considered Google Earth, but I had thought about the copyright issues. It is not a terribly formal presentation and everything will be cited properly. I was just hoping for some pictures that were taken by anglers, since if they took a picture of something besides a bass, it should be prett...

Green Pumpkin Red Flake/Watermelon No Flake Laminate.

BEST COLOR EVER!!!

BassManDan

...of the Delta, Clear Lake, Sonoma and Berryessa. Long story short, I'm doing a presentation that talks about these bodies of water and I realized I don't have any landscape photos of these locations (it never dawned on me to take the pics while I was there...took pics of fish caught, but nothing i...

BassManDan

What does this magical liquid do exactly?

I'm guessing it's some sort of agent to remove stuff from the surface of the water.....

BassManDan

BassManDan

I'm with you Mike,

The gills are a very sensitive area and even a little abrasion can cause hemmorhaging.

Lower lip is the way to go!

BassManDan

The Wiley's are nice, but for $40 and a lifetime warranty, it's tough to beat the Eye Surrenders.

BassManDan

C'mon, they should let Skeet fish all day, then we might have seen the first bass angler to get sucked up by a tornado :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: That's the way things go sometimes, and for not having finished lower than 5th place for the first 4 events of the season, Skeet doesn't have too much ...

BassManDan

I can say without contradiction, smoking battery terminals are BAD!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'm with Skunked, why do you need a perko switch? Should be a separate harness for the trolling motor battery(ies) and a separate harness for the cranking/accessories battery(ies)

BassManDan

Well stated Robert F, There is a bit of thought behind that response. But it does seem to come back to the courtesy issue. People can be complete A-holes, or they are just plain ignorant and shouldn't be on the water in the first place. Legal take of fish - O.K. Being jackoffs that cut in front of y...

BassManDan

The actual biology taking place is completely founded. Fin clips are an efficient method of tagging and utilized quite often for mark-recapture studies. There are better tagging methods, but those are in respect, much more expensive. Sure it would be nice to have dye injection, fluorescent tagging o...

BassManDan

+1 on the Owner Hooks.

BassManDan

Definitely do not use a Double Wide beaver on a lightly weighted swimbait hook. That's doesn't work!!!

BassManDan

I can say with 100% assurance, it might be a spotted bass or a meanmouth

BassManDan

All of them

I've seen more than a few picutres of dropshot baits and finesse worms with a 10+ lb fish attached to them.

But I'd put my money on a 6-7" swimbait or a bulky jig, those two gotta be the best "kicker fish" baits out there.

BassManDan

Dewalt (since you can find one made by Porter-Cable anymore)

I just had my Dewalt out yesterday doing some redneck style rod building, turning some custom EVA grips for my next rod.

BassManDan

Without, period.

BassManDan

Yo Ash, There are apparently two incarnations of the TT frogs. The first version has a really hard body that doesn't compress very well, and the hook up ratio is abyssmal (speaking from presonal experience). I did bend out the hooks, but I've yet to fish it with this modification. There is apparentl...

BassManDan

No, no, not the girl, the fish

Nice catch!

BassManDan

Depends on the action and power of the rod.

I would venture to guess that it wouldbe good from spinnerbaits, small swimbait or texas rigged plastics.

BassManDan

Good thing you asked only "bass specific" rod an reel combos

BassManDan

Don't forget[i] Elodea spp.[/i] another common aquatic macrophyte in California.

BassManDan

When I put new rims and tires on my boat trailer, I did not have an idea as to the weight, so I just played it safe. Play it safe and figure that your trailer/boat weighs about 1800 lbs. A standard 205/75R15 trailer tire has a weight rating of about 1200 lbs. so two of those, you're talking 2400 lb ...

BassManDan

I don't tournament fish but simple courtesy is the rule of the water.

1)Give people space.

Done!

BassManDan

Going from a 6 lb lead to a 14 lb lead......"WOW" about sums it up.

BassManDan

1/4 oz Gambler Swimblade.

Trailers: either a 3x Denny Brauer Chunk or a 3" Lake Fork swimbait.

I gotta experiment with 3" and 4" Big Hammers, so don't try those till I do

BassManDan

Since you asked this question, I think I need to build a swim jig rod.

For ~1/4-3/8 swim jigs.

Shikari 7'2", 3 power, Moderate action, custom turned EVA grip and micro guides. Hot pink and metallic blue wraps.

Curado 101B

I'm thinking 12 lb P-Line Halo, or 10 lb P-Line CXX.

BassManDan

The SKT Swimmer is a slightly tuned version of the G2, but all in all, the same bait and again, pretty similar to the BV3D.

Good for Jerry in getting some serious recognition for his baits.

They're not just a west coast thing any more.

BassManDan

Glass is going to be higher quality, more scratch resistant and often a little better clarity. And you're gonna shell out $100+ on a pair. Polycarbonate lenses, are gonna scratch, no matter how good you take care of them, eventually you're gonna scratch them. I like the Eye Surrenders. I'm tough on ...

BassManDan

Custom Built 7'2" Lamiglas, Power 4, Mod/Fast action.

Curado 201B

15 lb P-Line Halo

BassManDan

No, he's not holding the fish 3 ft out in front of him, it's just a really light weight bass for it's size

BassManDan

Tower Park does have a pretty nice facility and pretty centrally located

BassManDan

Yeah, I got a tip...

try and catch one bigger than that kid a few weeks ago

BassManDan

[quote="jigfish1"]why not support it it just a peice of paper with the serial number of your gun and who it belongs to whats the big deal. AND MY NAME ISNT PHIL

[/quote]

HA! Wrong "jig"

BassManDan

I think the G-Mag is a size 7/0 or 8/0.

The Ish hook is just scary, I've got a couple sitting on the window sill next to me cause I can't figure out what to do with them

BassManDan

The oft asked $1,000,000 question :lol: Lead: Cheap, not durable - great for situation when you're losing baits to the deep. Steel: don't waste your time or money, brass is just as cheap and a much better weight. Brass: Moderately priced, relatively large size - good with glass beads or when rigged ...

BassManDan

The delta isn't a pond

BassManDan

If you didn't get the spinnerbait back, it was definitely some sort of monster; swamp thing, creature from the black lagoon, etc.

BassManDan

Probly not considering they can barely get their normal line of products produced.

BassManDan

I think Knight's Landing out of Woodland is open 24/7.

BassManDan

Now he's one year older than dirt

BassManDan

It was a colored tag near the dorsal fin like the picture, right?

That is a FLOY tag, usually used for mark-recapture studies.

The story describes electronic (acoustic?) tag in the body cavity. These would be for tracking studies an the like.

BassManDan

I'm 100% serious when I say this, "That is a beautiful fish."
