The kid i was fishing with was getting annoyed because I was out fishing him. Everytime I had a fish boil on my bait or hooked up he would say something stupid or put his rod down.

I finally got my hands on a freestyle shad. Thought I would do some friendly trespassing to try the bait out.

Thanks everybody it's not everyday you get weather like this

Finally got a decent swimbait fish it's been a while.

I have the 806 mike long and I love the longer handle but I guess that's just me Im only 5'8 though. the handle doesn't bother me or ever get in the way.

Thanks Colby I've learned a lot from you in other post ill be sure to ask questions.

I thought that was for both baits?

I use a bin with a locking thing on the top and just throw them all in there at bed bath and beyond the bin is 3 dollars

Check the Member reviews section Flaswimbaiter just did a great review on them I personally believe the s-waver is a better bait.

has anyone tried this technique and also has anyone used the duo realis sppinbait 80? thanks

I believe everything you just said when it comes to countershading and that is all correct it doesn't matter what color a top water bait is. however when it comes to a sinking bait I believe a solid color will still give you a better advantage due to disruptive coloring which almost all fish have as a camouflage(the dots and stripes you see on fish) this acts to break up the predators prey image and allow the prey to escape while the predator is pondering whether the black dot on a shad is its eye or its eye is its eye. a solid colored bait would allow your target species to obtain a prey image quicker and have no doubt to whether it is a single fish or multiple fish due to stripes.

If its injected throw it on windy days in fall. I love my punkers.

did you have the extreme winds the last couple of days?

I love the action on a slow retrieve and when you stop it the back half of the bait continues to move. Thanks again for pointing me towards a dobyns I absolutely love the way the 806 loads up with hard baits. Not a problem Brooks! Looks like a Lexa 300 on there also? Can't beat that combo for off the shelf price and performance! Yea it is a lexa 300 I got rid of my Calcutta 400 for it. you will be seeing it and a couple other reels very soon for some cleaning and tuning

get the Calcutta

great job. what bait is that?

Nice fish and roll tide.

Today was the first time I actually got to throw my 8" FS and I broke a 10+ trip skunk with this dink. I watched a 7+ pounder follow my bait to my feet boil behind it and left me to dream. Thanks to evans_usmc69 for the tips for this bait

That may be a mangrove (gray) snapper or a cubera like you said they are very similar in appearance.

I have had the same carrot stick for years and its perfect but I have seen countless broken ones I love mine but I would never buy another one. A okuma guide select 7'6 mh is my small bait rod I love it.

I have a 806mlsb its great for trebled baits.

Every reel I own has been a shimano before I got the lexa 300 its very smooth out of the box and I got it for 150 brand new. I would hesitate to buy another lexa. use the 100 dollars you save for swimbaits
