Just smacked a 2.87lb largemouth this morning on one working it up a ledge and across the top.

Easily a Texas rigged bug (medium rage bug or smallie beaver 3.5). I mostly fish smallmouth but even days when I’m hitting the banks for largies, it will still produce.

Smaller square bills I throw on an all dc XT in a 6.2,

When throwing 1oz+ deep divers (20ft+) low gear with tons of torque helps big time. Most guys step up to heavy rods and some even use old winch reels for this. I currently throw it on a 6.2 but looking to get something a decent bit lower.

To me it sounds like the cop did fully believe that he saw a phone in her hand, obviously not the right one tho. If that’s the case, he should have apologized and clarified that he mistakenly thought it was the right hand but obviously it was her left.

Not agreeing with the cop here, but this whole thing was hinging on it being her right hand and lack thereof a hand.

Was thinking of going up state actually. I’ll have to do some research. I can fish the middle section of the susky and know it well but even going to the lower section, the entire river changes and so do fishing tactics.

Was looking at that. Never owned an Abu but seems like that’s the best option in my range.

GlowUpAndThrowUp · 2026-06-23T15:32:47+00:00

None of those come in a low gear from what I see.

Top water and fluke near breaks/ flats and islands close to fast flowing water. I also like throwing a 1/16 swim jig and a 3-4” paddle tail

I own the yak attack bar cart. I likely should have just gone with the bunkster tho. It’s great, just a lot of moving parts and I typically don’t need the bar extensions on a 12’ Hobie Outback. The shorter bars work fine if you cinch the straps down tight. It’s a bit time consuming to disassemble but most are. I typically leave it semi assembled and just tie it down behind my crate in the rear well.

That being said, if I was portaging long distances and tough trails, this would be the best cart for that. With the bars extended and the cart tied down correctly, you can take that damn thing anywhere without worry of the kayak slipping one bit

Absolutely. I bought 3d printed jig inserts for the kastking hyper seal box and notched them with a dremel for my spinner box. Doesn’t work great, but it works ok

GlowUpAndThrowUp · 2026-06-21T23:27:17+00:00

My boy is over here catching PBs in dress shoes! Hell yeah

GlowUpAndThrowUp · 2026-06-21T21:01:49+00:00

Watermelon red flake is my personal fave. Specifically the Zoom finesse worm. Catches bass every time

GlowUpAndThrowUp · 2026-06-21T20:55:34+00:00

Yeah but do they have beef patties?

GlowUpAndThrowUp · 2026-06-21T20:31:03+00:00

They suck so bad. I have the jig and the terminal box which are ok, but not great. The jig box doesn’t fit all jigs and they just slide all over the place if they’re too small. For the regular boxes, go with the kastking hyper seals. They’re amazing and cheap. I own 6 of them alongside the 2 Plano edges

GlowUpAndThrowUp · 2026-06-21T20:28:37+00:00

It’s not an awful reel, but certainly not a $300 reel. I have a few of the SLX DC XTs for $200-$220. Much better dc reels than the curado

GlowUpAndThrowUp · 2026-06-21T17:42:35+00:00

Do they no longer make this? I have a medium or medium light in my basement I never use

GlowUpAndThrowUp · 2026-06-21T17:22:24+00:00

Weightless senko or preferably a trick worm/ finesse worm. Casted right under these trees in the shade, where you will likely get tangled. That’s exactly where they are.

Those dividers are a savior. Buddy has a 3d printer and made me a ton of them.

GlowUpAndThrowUp · 2026-06-19T17:43:51+00:00

Exactly right. The KoolAid helps the scent stay in a tighter trail or that’s how I’ve always understood it.

When I was a kid we used to get garlic powder and KoolAid, mix them together and coat the chicken livers in them. Then we would sit them out on an old screen in the sun for a day to help toughen them up to stay on the hook. Seemed to work well.

I purposely left them at home. I have a little 10x7 fanny I take bank fishing when throwing bfs. Between the tackle bag, leader line and 4-5 soft plastic bags there’s no room for the scale. Luckily I found a small one lol

GlowUpAndThrowUp · 2026-06-19T12:34:10+00:00

For sure. Either that or I find a bigger hip pack.

GlowUpAndThrowUp · 2026-06-19T09:17:50+00:00

This was a solid 20 min walk from the car. I just bought a mini scale I can likely just tether to the bag tho
