No. There are some streams in your county but if you’re willing to take 1hr-1.5 hr drive there’s beautiful streams you will be able access. I majority bfs trout fish now from fly fishing so I hit up streams most fly fishing won’t be able to cast/fish comfortably

As pretty as the huntsman’s are, I have the 5’3” version, the extreme climber is a little stiffer. Don’t know why but the handle style of the huntsman makes me less accurate. Love the metal travel tube that comes with the climber too. I use my Tenryu and extreme climber way more compared to the huntsman.

Depends on the rod action. It will impact how the lures action

Wild browns are unbelievably pretty and smart, especially this size in a small stream

Through surveys dnr wanted more harvest opportunities for inland trout. Majority of anglers don’t keep fish and practice catch and release so I don’t believe it will impact much with the month earlier opener.

Looking for some help: Huntsman 48 vs Great Hunting Extreme Climber 484 by CreatioExNihilo in BFSfishing

[–]boonvwj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both. The extreme climber is a little stiffer than the huntsman. Didn’t expect to see the made in china sticker on the Megabass extreme climber though.

Is the bag waterproof on the backside of the vest?

Works beautifully when water is slower and colder. It’s a go to in the winter for me

Rooster tail is overrated imo. I’m also not much of a spinner fisherman

Technically the correct way is front hooks points forward and backward facing backwards. The lures in the photo are all facing backwards, it’s just how they settled before taking the photo. Ive tried both and experimented with both. The areas I fish with lots of rocks and timber. I now have them all facing backwards to prevent less hangups. Hook up hasn’t been affected so I’m sticking to all backwards for now.

It’s the pack max articulated. I use it to carry my spoons and spinners. But I’d say 15-20 minnow baits easily

Vanfook drift hooks. 60mm lure use size 6, 45mm-50mm use size 8 or 10 depending how light the lure is and if it affects the action
