Post by: MO QWACK on 02/01/14 18:54 UTC: Looks awesome! My lawyer (Denny) will be in touch about one of those colors. It seems to be very similar to a top secret monster catching fish slaying color that was developed deep in the belly of category 3 lures!
How do you like to fish your swim baits?

I fish them with a belly weighed hook as well as on an A-Rig. Some of my bigger swimbaits are thrown on a 1 oz head when the current is ripping on the TN river. Swimbaits have pretty much took the place of spinnerbaits in my boat.

Jason Sealock of Wired to Fish is a good friend of mine. He has a true passion for fishing.

Do they make any other reel? I still have four of the old BB1NG reels. They are a true crankbait machine. Still wish they made them.

That he is. He posts some good stuff on FB & the site.Agreed I have the newer bb1s & some other lew's. I swear you could almost shoot the reel & it'd keep on tickin like nothin happened

I usually fish mine wet. Tried 'me dry a couple times and nothin'.

If yawl don't get some rain soon you might be fishing everything on the dry side. I have had a bass flop down a gravel road in July just to sit 4 hours At a bus stop to catch a ride to my house for a bite of one of my reject trash pile baits! She weighed a touch over 12 pounds and wouldn't go home until I kissed her..... True story :P

Post by: Denny Welch on 02/01/14 22:28 UTC: We actually got .25 inch of rain a couple days ago. It was the first rain we've had in like 51 days. They say we need a heavy downpour every other day from now through June just to have a normal year. My lake is down to 11% of normal. No rain scheduled for the next week. Ugliness awaits.
