  1. Tackle Warehouse Probs

    That is definitely not a Tacklewarehouse problem, other than them selecting a carrier that isn’t consistent for your area.
    Just ask Tacklewarehouse not to use GSO for your orders.  Their customer service department  has always been really responsive.  GSO is great if you live in a service area near where the drivers pick up.

    don't cut out the harness totally.  I did this to one of mine, just cut open on the bottom with a razor blade, use cutters and cut off a tiny bit of lead at a time until the desired sink, because too fast too quick is never a good thing haha. Can cause the bait to not keel.

    What he said^^

    really easy to slit open belly and clip the lead.  It doesn’t take much to change the sink rate.  I cut a section from the middle of the lead so the bait sank more horizontal.

    Try fishing a white rising son shallow, walk the whole bank paralleling any cover available especially tules.  put on waders if you need to have better access.  try something different than the point you havent caught a fish on in 10 trips.  Big bass will get suprisingly shallow in summertime weed beeds

    There is 5+ years of knowledge on here if someone would take the time to do some research instead of asking the same damn questions over and over. Or even worse folks regurgitating answers that they had only read and never experienced themselves.

    The problem began with swimbaiting becoming a "hip" thing to do. The site was overwhelmed with newbies that had never figured out how to catch a bass on a jig before they were buying $200 baits. Then posting pics of every 2lber they caught.

    Nationwide it is not such a problem, but in California everybody and their brother was throwing swimbaits. Swimbait OG's quit sharing much info because they saw the increased pressure and the easy bite disappearing quickly. Can you blame them? At what expense do you give up your secrets to success. No internet glory fame is worth not catching 1/4 of the fish you used too. Why would someone burn their own bite? Blurred back grounds became a necessity because of the spot burner epidemic.

    Don't get me wrong, I fully appreciated the info that was shared by some generous guys back in the day. But I understand completely why they have all disappeared too.

  20. Best lure retriever

    snapped off my first ever deps 250 3 casts into fishing it yesterday... i know the general vicinity but I am going to have to snorkel to get it i feel. anyone share any methods of trying to retrieve it? its about 6-8 feet of water

    6-8 ft?  Come on that's shallow.  Diving certificate? How is the bottom?  Do you know almost exactly where it is?  Drag something around the bottom to snag the trebles.  People have used weighted netting or fencing to retrieve lures before, be a little creative....
