CST

Usually 3-5 times a week. Last two months it's been once a week max.

Throw a cauliflower in the food processor. You have cauliflower rice. Great way to add bulk and fiber to a low-cal meal.

Make sure you're hitting a calorie deficit first, then worry about the carbs. Use a calorie log of some sort to keep track of your food intake. Get a food scale. Measure everything. Don't cheat yourself. I liked some variation of eggs for breakfast, a salad with meat in it for lunch, greek yogurt as a snack and a lean protein with veggies for dinner. If you're not losing weight, eat less. You can't out exercise a bad diet.

I think they all live in California though.

One thing about the 300 is it feels really wide.

That might be it. I only have tried it from the shore.

Yeah the 5" injected is garbage. It's pretty much impossible to walk.

I don't meet any of the requirements. Can I join anyway? While I haven't used the Black Market, I have an ebay account and 9 years of history in various fishing forums where I've done a bit of buying and selling.

I tried it with three 6" baits (The regular 6", not the 68). Two are gone now, and the one I have left has a tiny treble on it (2x Size 6). That setup is kind of cool because I can always bend the hook out when it gets snagged but I haven't had a fish hit that bait yet so I'm not sure how such a small hook will work out.

I leave the jig hook. I have a few 6" I tried BB rigging, but they're kind of a pain to rig. Then you have to hold them in place and sometimes they throw the bait off balance. 3:16 makes some good glue!

Such a great idea! A homemade bait might be a better choice. It would be fun to see what a one of a kind bait can do instead of a swimbait anyone can pickup on any given day online.

I ended up with an Albino, Silver Black and a Rainbow all in ROF5. I want the regular 6" Weedless back now!

I'm not a full time swimbaiter but I've been throwing them a bit this year. I'm in So Cal but stubborn and dislike crowds so I avoid the popular places and fish a windy dusty old lake most of the time. When it comes to swimbaiting, the 6" Hudd is the only thing that seems to get bit for me at that lake. I've been throwing the Jointed Claw a bit there but haven't had a bite or a follow. Cat tails are my worst enemy. I've lost quite a few baits to them. It doesn't make much sense but it has happened quite a bit. Fishing at night, from shore, can mean a lot of lost baits I guess...

The older style has to be a collectable at this point right? One thing I remember from fishing the bluegill is that it catches a lot of wind during the cast.

Same here. I've always just assumed the Huddleston and 3:16 glues were just bottles of Mend-It that they bought and stuck their own labels on. I've used Zap A Gap a bit too but that's an actual glue. It is too runny and I think I prefer the Mend It style of glue better.

I can't fish the 3" on 12lb. Those hooks on the small Hammer Heads bend out too easy.

I've thrown the 178 a few trips and still haven't had a bite or a follow. The bait looks and swims amazing and is very responsive though.

JDM is awesome. I haven't tried too many JDM swimbaits but have fished a bunch of JDM baits, reels and rods. There is a lot of attention to small details that you just don't see in USDM baits. A touch of red paint by the front hook, a bit of a bright color up top for better visibility, feathers on the hooks are things you don't see on baits here too often. They're not shy about colors either. Not only do you have a large variety of different or unusual colors but you can have multiple variations on a popular color. When I first was interested in swimbaiting, most hardbaits came in either dark trout or light trout. In Japan though, they had bass and bluegill colors. I don't really remember too many 9" swimbaits in Japan back then but I probably wasn't looking hard enough. They're also hard to find and expensive so you know you're throwing something most people can't afford or aren't willing to pay for.

Haha, you can order them from his website. Hope you don't expect to get anything though. BTW, I believe the kid in the fleabay pic is the one we shall call "Spicoli" yea i was kidding. I had a laugh

Yeah you did a great thing. A lake near a rural town might benefit from having a few bass kept. We live in L.A. and we have 9.8 million people and about 10 lakes. We don't need to kill any more fish.

The other thing is, if you fish enough, you're going to kill some bass. I've gut hooked a fish earlier this year and recently stuck one in the gills with the small shellcracker. You release them and hope for the best but ish happens.

I try to avoid fishing with friends and family for that reason but sometimes you just have to take them and hope for the best.

Just wanted to +1 this, that red label is super thin, really cheap and good stuff. I used it a ton when I was fishing tourneys as a kid and couldn't afford the higher end fluoro. I have caught a few 7+'s on the 15# RL, I wouldn't want to put it along side a high end fluoro but for the money it may definitely be worth it to someone! On the regular I run Sunline Super FC Sniper 12#-20#...Wish they made 25# just to have a bit larger diameter.... Looks like I'm one of the few guys on the fluoro bandwagon, but I'm as stubborn as a mule and think it actually makes a difference . It makes me feel better in 20-25+' visibility if nothing else. Well I would like to point out too that The Red Label is about 60 bucks for 1000 yards AND is just a tad THICKER than P line PF AND for just a bit more you get 3000 yards . That means 2000 more yards of line AND you are still a kid AND I have Caught Two teens on 20 PF AND been using it from the time it came out, I did tourneys too and placed in many with PF Flouro is WAY over rated. Talk about getting down to the bottom? THATS WHAT I DO and I have no problem fishing as deep as I want. SO what are we talking about here? Oh we are talking Spend More, to have line sink to find snags to add Abrasion . AND not seeing the line? Really? If you can see PF in water then you have better vision than a Bass . I have tried other lines, would you like me to list them all? Did that CAP you there young man He's younger than you and, therefore, wrong. Great argument.

The 6" is being sold by Smith Baits but it doesn't look like they brought the Mag back unfortunately.
