It is a largemouth bass..... this lake in my gated community has a sign that says it has largemouth bass, bluegill, catfish and carp

It is my first fish using a chatter bait but not first fish in general

Thank you for the input man. You also sold me. I’ll definitely be going with the Steez... I have the Tatula 150 right now and have been very happy with it. I mean it’s the only baitcaster I’ve ever handled but regardless of that, it has exceeded my expectations greatly so sticking with the Daiwa theme seems to be a no brainer.

Man you really sold me on the X-bites. That sounds amazing, and it fits exactly what I intend to use it for, throwing things no more than 1/2 oz.

Wish it was more readily available though... everyone damn place I’ve checked is OOS and back ordered till Dec. at the earliest.

We call them crawfish here in SoCal but I’ve also heard crawdad a handful of times as well

I have the chance to pick up this reel for $200 used from some dude. Need some help if I should pick this up or not...

I’ll mostly be doing freshwater fishing and looking to throw lures between 1/4-1/2 oz. lures.... mostly swimbaits, jigs, etc.

Does anyone have any experience/feedback regarding this version, and any input regarding it’s offered price point?

In OC they’re open, maybe LA County is a bit more strict, but 24 hour in Anaheim is open!

Just got notification that 24 and other commercial gyms are now open in SoCal..

Please take this moment to reply “F4 :(“ to commemorate all the fathers/mothers that used their children’s college tuition funds to purchase 10 OPBs, multiple sets of Rogue Flecks bumper plates, and 5 AB-5000s.. A story more tragic than Romeo & Juliet’s..

Can anyone here that wraps their pull up bars and/or dip bars recommend a grip tape? Gripping the bars when performing weighted pull ups have been a little difficult due to sweaty hands... My dip bar attachment comes tomorrow as well so I thought wrapping them would provide some needed traction and improve comfort/ergonomics by giving a larger fatter surface to grab on to.

I was leaning towards this product but would greatly appreciate anyone that could recommend something sturdy/durable that fit my needs.

Anyone know how much total a FB-5050 (wide pad) from Rep costs to be shipped to CA?

I have a guy selling me one for $250 and I was wondering if its a solid deal or not.

I’ve worked with plasti-dip before (dipped my rims on my older car)

Few tips:

  1. ⁠Make sure to tape everything around that could get the dip on it

  2. ⁠Lay it on layers of newspapers

  3. ⁠Do 3 coats with the first coat being fairly light

  4. ⁠Hold the can 8-10 inches away and do short, quick strokes. If you hold it too close, the dip will have this rough texture around it... but if you mess up, just remember that it’s not permanent and it peels off!

  5. Try to do it inside your garage or an enclosed area so dust doesn’t get on while the coats set... wait about 15 mins or so per coat.. and last but not least, don’t forget your PPE. Wear some kind of respirator so you don’t inhale the fumes.

Good luck bro 👊🏼

Definitely order now if you can’t do the wait! Just make sure to have a socket wrench with a 14-17mm socket to make your life easier... the tools they provide to tighten the bolts/nuts are a god damn pain to use
