  1. I was turned onto this color combination for spring back bay/river fishing. I have to say that nothing else had the success that this color combo had.

    Tins

    I love the 1oz crippled herring for small cocktail blues 2-3oz butterfish and Nautilis from Point Jude I suspect the Krok spoon was 2oz ....can't forget the diamond jig with tube when sand eels are present. I know others have more experience than me.

    Tins

    I started using them more last year. On one stormy, east wind day, I was having trouble casting a Bucktail out. I put on a Krockodile tin with a single hook. Five casts later, I had two 20lb bass. I went home and ordered some Point Jude tins. It takes one day to get some confidence.
  4. I never new this was a thing
  5. Not sure I understand the question, but I purchased a 4000 miravel to use on a particular rod instead of my 3000 spheros. They both have an advertised weight of 8.6oz if I remember correctly. The Miravel has a bigger spool that I think will cast farther, plus it holds more line. I didn't feel comfortable with just 120yards of 10lb test.
  6. slightly off topic....it amazes me that the 9" weighs 1.4 oz and the 7.5" weighs 1/2 oz
  7. That bike looks like my old flying pigeon! That how I had it mounted as well.
  8. Mine hang off the back currently. Having the rods up front would make me more aware of obstacles coming my way.
  9. Has anyone rigged up a rod holder on the front fork for bike fishing? I like kicking my leg over the rear of the bike without hitting the rods.
  10. I personally love the idea, but yeah, the price is tough to swallow. I do think there is a market. Maybe Colton can make something like this in a tolerable price range.
  11. I fish bucktails almost exclusively from the beach. I find 1/2-3/4 is great on those flat west wind days. You can add weight from there depending on the surf. The leader thickness matters too. Heavy leaders can help float the jig. I generally use a lighter leader with 1/2 oz BT's.
  12. I love the stubby needlefish and sinking poppers. I have others but those two are great where I fish.
  13. I personally like floating. Poppers are fun. Longer leaders or even poly leaders with a clouser or crab pattern will get you down in a trough.
  14. They also suggest using double sided tape instead of epoxy. You put some sort of mineral spirits (dont quote me on this) on the tape to make it gooey, slide on the grip and when the stuff evaporates....it's sticky again.
