I don’t do this all the time ( usually only in winter time) so depending on when you see this message, it might be still an active announcement or not . Nevertheless rich out to me an...

Looking for this soft plastics:

I’m looking for this specific bait and size , if possible same colour but not necessarily. So, if you have them and want to get rid of them, or if you know any tackle shops that might have them, please let me know.Apparently they are discontinued and not available for order anymore.

Re: Daiwa CND custom ML eyelets

Oh man the horrors of learning that knot last year. I’ll give it a go. How hard is it to replace eyelets? Appreciate the help. It’s not hard to replace the tip, the hard part is ordering it ( you have to identify brand, model, colour and insert type) and have it delivered to you( from US) if you wa...

Re: Daiwa CND custom ML eyelets

I’m not familiar with that particular rod but I do see in pictures of it that the tip is a bit recessed compared to the runners and that might be a problem ( in which case the solution is either to replace the tip with anothe...

Since I just finished another one, I thought I might post some pictures since it’s not every day you have a chance to see a micarta handle on a fishing rod :)

Re: 5 things you dislike about bass fishing?

1.If you guys are finding boat ramps annoying you should really try fishing from an inflatable boat sometimes . You won’t depend on the existence of a ramp but, there’s a but, you will have to carry everything to and from the water,inflate/deflate, gear up your rig (tiller motor, trolling motor, son...

Natural dropshot weights

Hello again, as the title says, I just wanted to share with you something that I conceived and I’ve been testing successfully since last season. It started initially as an improvisation in my holliday in BC (there are lots of places there where you are not allowed to use lead weights) and it develop...

Re: What’s your opinion on this?

I agree! however, what’s the size and weight of those? Will you take them in your pocket while wading or hiking to a remote lake?
