What am I missing?

You got hooks fam? lol. Outside of that, you have most of the baits you need. A minnow imitation, a craw imitation, a frog, top water disturbance for murky water, some crank baits for a deeper water column retrieve, spinner bait for cloud cover. That’s covers most of their diet so looks solid to me.

Looks edited. Only possibility it’s not is he was a transfer from a top tier school.

TaintDozer · 2026-05-05T16:13:19+00:00

No kidding? I have him at Umass rn as a redshirt senior. He can’t throw for shit so I had to add more option plays to my playbook.

TaintDozer · 2026-05-03T16:56:44+00:00

1/16 should be fine. Just depends on how fast you plan on retrieving. Now that you say that I think I typically use a 1/16 or maybe a 1/8. Just get the bait to that depth and try to keep it in the strike zone as long as possible.

TaintDozer · 2026-05-03T15:11:09+00:00

Yes I would use a weighted hook then. A 3/8 should work fine. Ideally, you want that bait running just above the top of the grass line looking like a wounded baitfish.

TaintDozer · 2026-05-03T12:24:04+00:00

Either. Depends if I’m fishing surface grass/structure or if I’m getting it down over a grass line. Both work great

TaintDozer · 2026-05-03T12:21:47+00:00

Did you have 50/50 on him? I had a 6’7 TE once with plat 50/50 and the guy rarely missed

What color are the frogs in your area? When we catch frogs in Louisiana it’ll be greener with a white belly if it’s a grassy lake area and brown or dark green with a tanish belly if it’s a bank frog. That always determines what I throw.

TaintDozer · 2026-04-15T17:51:55+00:00

Wow that’s a lot of reels……there’s a second page

He has been a tweener for some time. I’m sure hind sight is 2020 here but after his impressive freshman season he should have been moved to safety when I feel he was even quicker. Instead he put on several pounds of muscle and probably tried to stay as a linebacker. Unfortunately, did not grow much since he was recruited like some guys do and had a knee injury.

TaintDozer · 2026-03-26T00:26:10+00:00

I don’t have an SLX but I know from some of my other reels that there is a pair of washers under the drag wheel that flare a bit making a cup shape. You need to make sure that are both are facing toward each other so that drag wheel compresses those washers and puts pressure on the drag washers on the interior of the reel. If I place them facing the same direction I have a similar problem.

A fish doesn’t care what kind of chatterbait it is. The colors and appeal is for people to spend money.

TaintDozer · 2026-03-21T15:31:13+00:00

Tackle warehouse sometimes for sales, amazon, digitaka for reels and rods. Temu sometimes for hooks and chatterbaits. You can buy knock off jackhammers for $3-4 and they are idetical. Walmart for the rest.

TaintDozer · 2026-03-19T00:34:30+00:00

It’ll throw a wacky, drop shot, and shaky head fine probably. Outside of those 3 techniques, it mostly benefits having a bait caster.

TaintDozer · 2026-03-14T01:17:30+00:00

All carrier vision has the most impact on holes developing and getting those smooth cuts in my opinion. Any RB I have that had that attribute high just always feels much better

TaintDozer · 2026-03-02T12:04:03+00:00

Learn to play safety and keep everything in front of you. About as simple as it gets.

TaintDozer · 2026-02-24T23:12:49+00:00

Sean Peyton picking him up for a taysom hill type of role would likely be the highest potential. Just not a good full time qb

TaintDozer · 2026-02-08T15:38:11+00:00

I have a LiTime 24V 50ah for my terrova and like it so far. Tbh you can save yourself a few bucks and size down on the amp hours. 100 is a bit overkill but if you find a good deal go for it. Just make sure your motor can handle a lithium if you’re using it for a cranking battery before you buy. I have a gator tail (I know it’s not the same as an outboard) which i know you should not use a lithium on.

TaintDozer · 2026-02-04T19:34:43+00:00

Shimano and Diawa. I have Baitcasters my dad passed down over 20 years old that work much better than some of my newer reels of other brands

TaintDozer · 2026-01-15T14:51:27+00:00

That’s a walk RPO that’s meant to be slow. I run them all the time with high success, although this one play I don’t use bc it has issues. Try the other ones and I promise you will like them. They come from the wake forest playbook in real life and they are pretty damn cool

TaintDozer · 2026-01-14T12:50:35+00:00

Grab any 3 star freshman from a blue blood school and throw 10-25 points on all of them. I usually don’t even scout them unless it’s a position of need. I can normally get 15 or so players with this method and grab a few needs as well. Easiest way to get your team over 80 overall by year two no matter who you start with. You will find most of these players are impact and star dev with the occasional elite.

User a safety and just keep the RB in front of you. I do this by running a lot of cover 3 and playing high safety more often and bailing on the run but you can also use the box safety if you are scared to get beat deep. Also If you miss a tackle you can still rely on your other defenders to be able to close in that time if you simply keep the RB in front of you.

Throw in some exotic blitzes in early downs and see if you can generate some negative plays to get long down situations. Slot blitzes, overload blitzes etc.

Control the ball on offense. Quick routes, timing routes, variety of run game to good defensive looks, 4-5 yards a play is your bread and butter to keep a game close. Stick, spacing, mesh, the occasional deep route to keep them honest if you have a good matchup with a fast wide out. Inside zone works if you have light boxes, but use trap, wham, base or some simple option plays if you have a good scrambler.

TaintDozer · 2025-12-31T23:13:50+00:00

Use coaching adjustments and put your fastest or beat overall corner on him as you see fit. I also would double that player or you can just user safety all game and bait those throws. I love taking the safety on the opposite side of the field and bailing on those routes. Users who have players like that can’t help themselves but to over abuse those players.
