gear 2011

[jibbs]

just curious what everyone got for goodies for this season....

[slipperybob]

Just lures pretty much, and then some new lines.  Not sure what other gear as of yet.

Yea,    line and lure's..... Got new HDS too.  What about these trolls to and clackin baits...  why do they cost five bucks more than the Husky jerk's...  and now all the good colors are in these 12-14 dollar lures and not the 7-9 dollar ones.... Good ol reef runners still have great colors though...

If you want to catch Bass, use the ol' Lunker Lure Buzzbait or a plastic worm or lizard!!! The buzzbait is 3-$4 and the worm/lizard is $.50, even the $25 custom baits don't work better than these!

Bass are highly overrated and will hit just about anything... for a real challenge try Walleye... or even Crappie if you dare!

I catch so many Bass while Crappie fishing it makes me want to puke!!!... then I look over my shoulder to the guys beating the bank for bass and not catching anything and it makes me want to laff!!!

i wish they would hit everything...never the case when you are busting your butt in a tourney and always looking for that 5th fish...i picked up two new rods, lures, line, and a new boat...it will be here in two weeks...first tourney is april 17th...can't wait

Got a couple duckett micro magic rods, pretty sweet.  Ive got some chatter baits that my tournament partner makes up, they really started to hit them last year!

Here's a hint... learn how to catch bass without casting to shore!

I fish from shore but finally go a boat. i shelle ouyt 100 bucks for a dwiai d shock combo in 7 foot with 8 lb berkley xt. i bought some stuff for trout. i bought egg weights and swivels for a trrout setup(pm if u want to know more). and becasue i cant seem to find zoom original flukes in baby bass color. i bought fin s in baby bass which is conveniant. but zooms are better. i bought the wrong baiot instead of buying the zoom u tail red shad worm i bought a version of the u tail worm only they are like 10 inch. they r hot in the summer. i guess maybe ill catch bigger fish. i bought some football head jigs and sum yum creatures that i rig in a weird way. i gotez some swivls and high quality ones. next i gotta go buy saltwater stuff and thats bout it. maybe flkyy gear if needed

A thread about new bass gear and we get a crappie troll response. 

Sometimes all the fish are after the abundant forage.  If I'm catching crappies in one area, I'm sure I will catch a bass, a pike or two, even a few walleyes and perch, and sometimes a big bluegill.  All in using pretty much crappie fishing techniques like a plastic grub under a bobber.  Still my favorite way to catch fish, slip bobbering.

that's the way this site works these days...95% of it is all garbage...can't post pictures without ridicule...can't tell a story without drama...oh well!..but i was lucky enough to find out that i shouldn't pound the shoreline...hope it helps...

[slipperybob]

The most interesting equipment that caught my attention this year is the return of Lew's Speed Spools.  I'm not interested in any new gear for myself, but the tackle junky monkey in me is screaming banana's.
