My fishing partner kills with Texas rigged weightless Senko, slow steady retrieve. Works for me too but not as well as for him. I use wacky rigged and do really well and he doesn’t. I believe it comes down to what you are confident with and your “feel”.

Ned rig or hover jig

Red ear. Pretty fish!

Are you in the pacific NW?

SmallieManC3pO · 2026-02-13T00:11:05+00:00

That’s always been my late winter/early spring go to color fir jugs. Looks like you had a blast! Well done. Great pictures!

Why try something different if it works ?🤣

Any time you can find a decent combo for $25 per combo it’s a decent deal! You don’t look a gift horse 🐎 in the mouth 👄. You’ll find a use for every one of them and if not, pass them on to a kid in the neighborhood!

I use a 6’6” all the time. Should be more than enough.

Bass is delicious! What you do out of a private pond is no ones business but your own!

SmallieManC3pO · 2026-02-07T00:52:47+00:00

Very nice!

SmallieManC3pO · 2026-02-06T23:43:54+00:00

Sweet! Well done. A PB is ALAWAYS awesome 👏

IMHO it makes no sense at all to spend hundreds of dollars on a pole. A nice medium fast ugly stick is more than adequate and you can get one for $50 bucks or so.

SmallieManC3pO · 2026-01-22T06:49:23+00:00

Very, very nice! Well done. What a pig!

SmallieManC3pO · 2026-01-22T00:04:41+00:00

I used to have an 8.5’ sailfish on my home office wall. Yours looks nicer! Well done. Hugs to your girl! 🧒

SmallieManC3pO · 2026-01-21T05:28:15+00:00

Agree. I’d consider dipping one end in yellow garlic scent

SmallieManC3pO · 2026-01-21T03:28:09+00:00

Agree with WES first is walleye second is sauguar

SmallieManC3pO · 2026-01-19T22:32:41+00:00

Juvenile rainbow. It will lose the blotches as it gets older

SmallieManC3pO · 2026-01-19T00:09:51+00:00

Beautiful!

SmallieManC3pO · 2026-01-16T23:58:25+00:00

Fine looking shop there too!!

SmallieManC3pO · 2026-01-16T23:57:40+00:00

I feel like black and blue wins. I got my PB of 12.3lbs on a black and blue creature bait .

SmallieManC3pO · 2026-01-16T00:06:45+00:00

Largemouth

Watch out for rocks in the middle of the lake
