<br />
<br />
I don't know about you, but I don't throw an awful lot of grub baits, and thus I think the <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Strike_King_Rage_Twin_Tail_Menace_Grub_8pk/descpage-SKRTTMG.html#customer_reviews">Menace Grub</a> flew under my radar for a few seasons before I truly realized it's potential.<br />
<br />
Pun fully intended, the Menace grub offers anglers a 1-2-3 Punch perfect for Jig Fishing, swim-jig fishing and of course punching. It's twin tail action offers a fast, subtle but noticeable flap and will make even the drowsiest fish take notice<br />
<br />
lets break this bait down...<br />
<br />
<h3>
Jig Fishing</h3>
<br />
Unlike standard grubs that you often find slipped in behind a ball-head jig, the Menace performs better on a classic football jig and or a swim jig.<br />
<br />
When paired with a football jig the Menace offers an incredible fall and its thin profile is a big help when flipping timber or target specific areas in which there is little room for error. Once on the bottom it's twin tails will stand tall on the pause and offer a nice soft waver almost saying "come here" to any fish paying attention. Like with any football jig application you need to work the rage tail with long slow drags and the occasional quick hop when you bump into any substantial structure.<br />
<br />
If you have been reading this blog for any length of time of if you follow my tackle junkie addiction on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bass_junky/?hl=en">instagram</a>, then you know for the most part when jig fishing I'm throwing black/blue jigs, and keep it simple with my trailers.. black/blue and of course variations on pumpkin... yes, you can fish a black jig with a pumpkin trailer, there are no rules against it, and you just might surprise yourself<br />
<br />
<h3>
Swim Jig Fishing</h3>
The Menace grub steps up its game when fished on a swim jig, the tails have a brilliant kicking motion that could give Michael Phelps a run for his money. Perfect for fishing around docks or just in times when you need to cover a lot of water, the menace grub/swim jig combo is a great replacement for a spinnerbait in those times you really want the ability to slow things down and even hop or pound the bottom.<br />
<br />
I'd really recommend experimenting with speed, the goal is to find where the fish are in the water column and fish as slow or as fast as you need to in order to keep your jig there.. lets be honest we've all seen the KVD Strike King commercial where he fishes a white menace grub behind a Sexy Shad Swim jig, if that didn't sell you on it's ability, I'm not sure anything I can say will!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Pitching and Punching</h3>
I spend a good deal of my time on the water with a flipping stick in my hand punching mats and pads, so when it comes to baits that Ill let get a peak under my skirt I'm kinda picky.<br />
<br />
Depending on the situation and cover thickness I'm often left choosing between wider profile baits and skinnier or slender baits. The Menace grub falls into this second category and it mostly sees use in the heaviest, sloppiest cover when I'm in need of a bait that can slip on in (no lube required) and hit the bottom without me having to work hard it. As mentioned above the Menace Grub excels on the fall giving off a short tight kicking motion that is easily seen and rarely the victim of the dreaded short strike. We all know that those longer leg baits often fall victim to fish with poor aim.<br />
<br />
As the cover thickens I may also loose the skirt and fish this bait naked, again the goal here is to punch through the cover with little to no drag hoping to surprise the fish (a little bit).<br />
<br />
Weigh size isn't an issue here, just find the best weight for the job, again experimenting with the rate of fall the fish like the best on any given day.<br />
<br />
<br />
There you have it, the low down on Strike Kings Twin Tail Menace Grub.. this ain't your Granddads grub bait<br />

<br />
I was honoured and privileged to get my hands on a pre-release version of Teckel's all new Sprinkler frog, a bait that may just prove to bring your frog fishing in 2017 to a whole new level!<br />
<br />
You know those times when you hit the lake and the conditions are just perfect for top water, but you're just not sure if you should throw a frog, a buzz bait or maybe even a whopper plopper? That's the exact time you should pick up a Sprinkler frog, here's why:<br />
<br />
<h4>
Off the Shelf</h4>
Being that this frog is not yet available I cant really tell you what its shelf presence was like. I can tell you that videos speak louder then images.. meaning that watching this frog in action sold me quicker then any other frog I've purchased. (and you know Ive got a tackle junkie in me)<br />
<br />
I use Teckel baits on a fairly regular basis, so I knew what to expect quality and material wise. The body and hooks are top notch and the sprinkler foot is also more robust then I expected. I'm fearing a pike attack, but other then that this frog should hold up well.<br />
<br />
My main concern here is the ability to replace the foot when it becomes damaged or completely ripped off the bait. Sure I could Frankenstein something up, but once you see this frog swim you are going to want to keep the same action with a replacement foot. At this time I cant confirm or deny if Teckel will be offering replacement feet. (please do!)<br />
<br />
Teckel has always offered a wide selection of colour options for each of their frogs, I would expect the Sprinkler to be no different. You can see some of the colour options on their Facebook page (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/teckellure/">HERE</a>) where they have been sneak peeking the frog since late 2016. The Video at the end of this article also shows off the 8 color choices that should be available at launch.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ePrx3b8hXCs/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ePrx3b8hXCs?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
<h4>
On The Water</h4>
It been awhile since I was as impressed with a frogs on the water performance as I was with the Sprinkler frog. From the very first cast I saw incredible potential in this bait and it has officially made it into my #1 Frog box for the 2017 season.<br />
<br />
As an angler that loves to frog fish but is not a huge fan of popper frogs, I'm always looking for that perfect crossover bait that can bring the noise in calm and windy situations alike. The Sprinkler Frog is that bait. If you love the noise and the look of a whopper plopper coming your way, this is frog is for you!<br />
<br />
It's important to me that you can work a frog at various speeds and that it still performs, the Sprinkler frog runs straight and true, when run at high speeds it kicks up a rooster tail like the ones you see at tournament blast off and at slower speeds you get that sweet, sweet gurgle of the perfect buzz bait.<br />
<br />
Unlike a traditional buzz bait or the Whopper Plopper the Sprinkler frog can be fished in pretty much any situation, meaning it be climbed over structure, and that it glides over pads, and any loose debris in the water that would consistently foul up a treble hooks ruining your retrieve. Unlike other Buzz-Frogs the use of a kicker foot in place of a blade ensures it fishes like a frog in the areas you actually want to throw a frog.<br />
<br />
Although I stressed it above, I will do so again, anytime you add a soft plastic appendage to a bait there is the chance (a good one) that the soft plastic will get ripped up, or ripped off. At this time I don't know if Teckel plans to offer replacement Sprinkler feet, and if they don't this could be a short lived frog.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
The Sprinkler frog pairs well with a Dobyns Sierra Series 735 which provides enough tip to make accurate casts all while still having the backbone needed to haul fish out of the nastiest of cover. As always I paired it with a Daiwa Tatula, this time a CT model.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
At first glance you way want to write this frog off as gimmicky or a novelty item. Do you self a favor and don't let your first impressions fool you, this frog is legit,<br />

Fisherman's Log - May 2017 - Tackle Warehouse order #... um, whom am I kidding I lost count years ago.<br />
<br />
If you consider yourself a tackle junkie then you have probably already mastered the art of "the on-line tackle order", but for those who haven't, see below for some tricks and tips on who to get the most out of each and every your you place. My purchases are primarily made up of a mix of products that include "new toys", "personal favorites ", "impulse buys" and of course the most boring, but often most needed.. Terminal Tackle<br />
<br />
Have a peek that my most recent tackle overdose<br />

Throwing a curve ball at you here, you've been following along at home then you know I don't often fish Strike King products, though I'm not sure I can tell you why. Strike King boasts an impressive Pro Staff with some of the industries biggest names and each and every year they product new products that are priced for guys like me (the average Joe). But if I was to rummage through my tackle room I don't think you'd find many product baring the Strike King logo.. but that's about to change. On this order I added 3 Strike King baits to my cart<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Strike_King_Super_Toad/descpage-SKST.html"><b> Strike King - Super Toad </b></a><br />
<br />
This is an obvious one, as I needed to get my hands on this frog in order to do a Frog Pond review of it at some point this season. With that said I kinda excited about this frog and I made sure I added at least 2 packs to my order. The Green Pumpkin with Chartreuse belly as well as the White belly both made the final cut on this order.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Strike_King_Greg_Hackney_Hack_Attack_Jig/descpage-GHHAJ.html"><b>Strike King - Hack Attack Jig</b></a><br />
<br />
<br />
The victim of good marketing here, I was watching the 2017 Strike King promotional video about the Super Toad and of course Greg Hackney was the angler showcasing it. At the end of the video a new video queued up (damn you YouTube!) and it was Greg showing off his Hack Attack jig.. Well I have a think for jigs, though I rarely throw them, so my impulse buy ticklers kicked in and I added a 1/2 and a 3/4oz version of the Hack Attack to my shopping cart... I'm now at 4 jig boxes and need to start actually throwing some.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Often a new bait will catch my eye and trigger what will eventually will become a tackle order. The V&M Flat Wild is that such bait. I noticed it in the "new" section of Tackle Warehouses website and it started what became the order you see here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

My current bait of choice for flipping timber is the <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Zoom_Z_Hog/descpage-ZZHOG.html">Zoom Z-Hog</a>, it has a nice chunky body with two sets of legs, one fast and the other slow. These characteristics can be found on the Flat Wild and its the reason this bait caught my attention. I'm not ready to put away the Z-Hog yet, but believe me the Flat Wild will definitely spend some time knocking wood this season. </div>

A large part of buying new baits is the trust factor, and Gambler Lures won my trust years ago which means I often purchase their new baits each season, no questions asked.<br />
<br />
Like with the Flat Wild, my purchase of the Stinger was in part due to its familiarity to a bait I also already own.. The<a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Missile_Baits_D_Bomb/descpage-MBDB.html"> Missile D-Bomb</a>. With its water moving ridged body and large flapping craws this bait will get a good look under my flipping skirt early and hopefully often this season.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Call this one a "new toy" as well as an "impulse buy". The Doomsday Tackle Fat Man caught my attention due to its unusual look and the fact that it didn't remind me of any other baits I currently have in my arsenal. The tale of this bait is thick and heavy, and I really hope it swims. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm looking forward to slipping a skirt on this bait and sliding it over some pads. The commotion this bait should cause will make even the most pressured fish take notice. </div>

I've been in a monogamous relationship with War Eagle Spinner baits for the past few seasons, but this year I decided it was time to play the field again and I'm in search of a few new options, enter: The Gary Yamamoto Lite Wire Spinner Bait.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll be honest the words "Lite-Wire" don't usually do it for me, because what Gary is telling me is that I'm going to spend a lot of time bending that wire back into shape after each fish I catch.. so why did I buy it? well I as looking and could new blade baits and with the different head design and large blades it was different enough from what I currently fish that I was willing to give it shot. Next up I need a few more Colorado blades in my arsenal. </div>

Another fairly long term relationship I have is with Reaction Innovations <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Reaction_Innovations_Skinny_Dipper_7pk/descpage-RISKD.html">Skinny Dipper</a>. Im almost embarrased to say it as Im not a huge fan of the company, their marketing or most of their products.. but the Skinny Dipper is my go-to soft plastic swim bait.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Looking to replace the Skinny Dipper the ShadTeez from Westin offers an incredible life like finish in an impressive selection of sizes. The main issue here is pricing, the ShadTeez in this (4.75") size only comes 2 to a pack and retails for about $4.99USD. Thats about what I pay for a pack of seven skinny dippers.. lets hope this last a few fish.</div>

<br />
I'm not as loyal to a hook company as I probably should be. My hook box is a mix match of brands, styles and sizes. Each year I do my best to test out the new options on the market in hopes of settling down with someone nice.<br />
<br />
This season the Ike Approved selection from VMX caught my attention. I'm a braid user (80-90% of the time) and the resin sealed eye on these hooks were there biggest selling feature. On this order I picked up a few packs including the X-Long which I use on larger worm and soft swim baits as well as the Heavy Duty EWG for some of my new flipping baits.<br />
<br />
When it comes to terminal tackle quality is #1 but pricing is a close second. VMC really caters to us weekend warriors and both my wallet and I appreciate that.<br />

<br />
As mentioned above Im not a loyal hook company guy, but Gamakatsu holds a worm.. sorry warm place in my heart and probably takes up the largest portion of my hook box. Its the hook I learned to fish on, its readily available and I trust it's quality.<br />
<br />
This style hook on the other hand is not really common for me, but I plan to spend some time on the Neko rig this season and those damn YouTube videos tell me this is the hook style to use, lol. So Ive picked up some nails, grabbed my wacky rig o-rings and now I have the hook.. lets see if this technique lives up to the hype.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b>Well there you have it, a high level look at my most recent tackle order. If you didn't noticed this order is flipping heavy, and there is a pretty simple reason behind that, and its that I spend a huge amount of time flipping, so I load up on baits whenever I can. There is nothing worse then running out of your favorite bait mid season, so if you re a Tackle Junkie like me.. stock up now!</b></i><br />

Way too often Canadian anglers look south when spending their hard earned money on fishing equipment and supplies, but as the gear prices climb due to a weak Canadian dollar we are getting to a point in which some hard choices need to be made. </div>

The below Canadian companies are making this choice much easier, with high quality offerings that are not only turning heads in Canada, but south of the border as well... there are some pastt and maybe future ICast winners in this bunch.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anglers Choice is a soft plastic bait company out of Western Ontario known for their killer assortment of hand made baits. With 9 (soon to be 10) baits options Anglers Choice is building up a nice little arsenal for both Large mouth and Small mouth fisherman.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A personal favourite of mine is their take on the senko called the <a href="http://www.anglerschoice.ca/Wart-Hawg_c_39.html">Wart Haw</a>g, available in 4,5,6 and 7" sizes bait really can be fished in any situation. Its soft plastic body holds up well and is perfect for wacky worm fishing , its slow fall almost shivers in the water. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're more of a smallmouth angler then check out the <a href="http://www.anglerschoice.ca/Kill-Shot_c_34.html">KillShot</a> drop shot bait. Its flat bottom and ribbed top are a thing of beauty and make all condom companies jealous. These baits are deadly on large smallmouth fisheries like Lake Ontario and Erie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

With only a few years under their belt <a href="https://www.kamooki.ca/products.php">Kamooki</a> is still an industry young gun. This Edmonton based start-up took the ice fishing industry by storm back in 2013 with the release of it's smart fish. A lead free bait powered by a zinc base that has an incredible fall and even better pause. The ultimate on ice weapon the smart fish attracks pike, walleye and all varieties of panfish and has quickly become a staple on many of Canada's major ice fishing lakes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This year saw the release of the <a href="https://www.kamooki.ca/products.php">Kamooki Smart Craw,</a> a smallmouth slayer with a wide lazy wobble and an irresistible click as its zinc base knocks up and down against the rocks. Just like the Smart Fish the Smart Craw shineswhile on the pause, its body design allowing it to move with the current all while sitting in the same spot and imitating a crawfishes natural stance. </div>

<div>
You have to go all the way back to 2013 to view the last article I wrote listing the Canadian companies that I though deserved more attention from fisherman. Even back then the Perfect Jig was on the list and 4 years later not much has changed other than the growing number of fisherman now throwing "the perfect jig".<br />
<br />
From the <a href="http://theperfectjig.ca/product-category/jigs/arky-jig/">Arky</a> to the <a href="http://theperfectjig.ca/product-category/jigs/elite-jig/">Elite series</a> you will be hard pressed to find a a more versatile selection of bass catching jigs. if you're like me and spend most of your time working heavy grass, check out the <a href="http://theperfectjig.ca/product-category/jigs/milf-master/">MILF Master jig</a>, specifically designed for use in milfoil and grass.<br />
<br />
Over the years Perfect Jig founder Brendan Knaggs has also begun to branch out offering a selection of soft plastics and terminal tackle go go along with his custom designed jigs. You never whats next with these guys, so be sure to follow them on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/theperfectjig/">FaceBook</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theperfectjig/">Instagram </a> to stay ahead of the game.</div>

"A Northern Original" there are not many Canadian based companies that have made as big a splash in the industry as the team at RahFish. This Ontario based start-up hit the ground running with an impressive series of articles and reviews and as their popularity grew (and believe me it grew) they started to get requests for RAHFISH apparel. Flash forward to 2017 and RAHFISH is has become a highly recognizable brand bringing fishing fashion to a whole new level.<br />

Who would have thought that protecting your gear would be come a full time gig.. The Owner of The Rod Glove and all around good guy Jim VanRyn knew that he had something special when back in 2010 he launched The Rod Glove.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since that time he has expanded his Rod Glove line-up to include Reel Gloves, and the very popular Rod Glove Wrapz, that in my humble opinion are the best rod wraps on the market today. You dont have to take my word for it, Jim and the Rod Glove boast and impressive pro-staff including Gerald G-Man Swindle, Brent Ehler, Randy Howell and my buddy Paul Mueller. </div>

So their you have it, 5 Canadian fishing companies that do it just as good or better then anyone else, and the're right here in your back yard. So let your money go a bit further this season and support some home grown talent. If you do, maybe next time this I update this list it will include 10 new Canadian companies. </div>

From time to time I get asked the the question made famous by Brad Pitt in the movie Seven.. "What's in the Box!" so before we officially kick off the 2017 review year, I though I would give you a peak into my standard everyday frog box, and maybe, just maybe a little insight into why each frog made the cut.<br />

<h4>
Gene Larew 3-Legged Toad</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The the 3-Legged toad is the only soft plastic toad to make the final frog box cut. Its the ultimate "all situations" frog that offers up a soft churn perfect for early morning and the evening bite. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The body of the frog is made of a nearly marshmallow like foam that floats, and hold up fairly well fish after fish. The third leg works to add to the frogs wake, but also prolongs the frogs life, as even when the bait looses that one inevitable limb, it still has two more to fish with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is one of the first frogs I reviewed on the Frog Pond back in 2012 and it is still in my box today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>When to Use:</b> Medium to Sparse cover when trying to cover water quickly. Great to bounce over cover and fish around submerged timber.</div>

<h4>
<br />Tackle USA - Choker</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Gene Larew 3-Legged Toad may be the longest standing member of my Frog Box, but on the other end of the spectrum the Tackle USA Choker is one of if not thee newest!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Choker saw some serious time on the water last season and even went a 3 week period as the only frog I tied on. The Choker offers up the classic profile made famous by the Reaction Innovation Swamp Donkey with one major improvement.. flashing for legs. This common fly tying material works incredibly well on the back of a frog, they fan out easily and offer up some crazy flash and shine as they spread out on the pause.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The body of the frog is soft yet durable and it moves well on or around pads and other structure. This is my everyday frog and is a good bet to the my opening day starter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>When to Use:</b> This is an all around frog that can be used in heavy cover to open water. I vary the retrieve to help identify what the fish are looking for on any given day. </div>

<h4>
SnagProof - GuntersVille Frog</h4>
<div>
Sometimes less is more, and when I'm reaching for a frog to crash the pads, the Guntersville frog from Snag Proof is at the top of the list. This compact yet beefy frog has rattles for legs and was built to "sit"more then it was built to "swim". So if you are planing to fish medium to sparse cover this may not be the frog to you, but, when fishing a thick mess of pads or slop this frog will call the fish in and make sure it gets noticed and more importantly EATEN!.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Best fished slowly with slight pulls or an intermittent retrieve the Guntersville frog fills a void that not many other frogs can. The only real downfall to this bait is that its easy to loose a rattle. Even more so if you are prone to bouncing it over the various structures you can run into in shallow pad filled water... This reminds me, I need to buy another one. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>When to Use:</b> Heavy Cover Period! slow pulls over and around pads.</div>

<h4>
SPRO - Bronzeye Shad</h4>
<div>
You can't call it a Frog Box if it doesn't have at least one SPRO frog inside (google it if your dont believe me)... or in this case a SPRO Shad? The Bronzeye Shad offers a great profile, with even better dance moves. Its horse like tails give some sway to the back end and helps this frog/shad walk in and out of tight situations. For a longer bait it really does have some great moves and I often tie one on when fishing sparser cover or even open water (though I tend to throw a popping frog in open water situations)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When the pads start to choke out the water I usually put this guy away. It does not sit well on pads and kinda flops from side to side. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>When to Use:</b> Sparse cover to Open Water, when a stealth presentation is called for. Can be used to cover water quickly or times when cover is spread out and your working long distances between. </div>

<h4>
SnagProof - Popping Phattie</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I've fished this frog so long it use to have another name! Remember when these were the Ish Poppin Phatties? well sometimes sponsorships change but one thing is for certain, if Ish still isn't fishing this frog he is seriously missing out! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I actually carry the classic Phat Frog (see below) as well as the Popping Phattie in the #1 Frog box, but of the two the popping phattie sees way more time on the water. It is a great all around frog that fishes best in open water to sparse cover conditions where I can fully take advantage of its popping ability. Not a proper fan? thats ok, slow down and the popping Phattie can also be walked, which is a big plus as it avoids switching back and forth as the conditions and structure changes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I don't throw a lot of popping frogs, but its important to carry at least one in your box for the times when you really need to let the fish know your there... ring that dinner bell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>When to Use:</b> Sparse cover to Open Water, when a louder presentation is called for. This could also be considered a crossover frog, ease up on the retrieve to walk and no pop this popping frog. Saves your time and line when not having to retie. </div>

<h4>
SnagProof - Phat Frog</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Phat Frog is definitely a special teams player, and usually only gets the nod to play when the area I'm fishing is loaded with slop!. Its unique body design moves well over the nastiest of slop and rarely if ever comes back with salad. Unlike some of the other "all around" frogs in my box, this one was really designed to fish any situation. It just so happens that it ain't pretty, so it often get the dirty jobs, but hey someone has to do it! This frog has all the same perks as the above Popping Phattie so i won't go into great detail here, just use it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Slop calls for a nice flat bottomed bait that won't catch or roll as it moves, this is that frog!</div>

<h4>
Deps - Slither K</h4>
<div>
Although some situations call for noise, other call for stealth, that's where the Deps Slither K comes into the mix. This frog is a high end low profile version of a scum frog, it can be cast (quietly) into any hole or target, and its fur tail will drive the fish crazy even on a prolonged pause. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Don't get me wrong, this bait looks sexy when killed, but moves even better when twitched. I work the Slither K one of two ways depending on the bite. First is a fast erratic walk, with the bait coming slowly to the boat but moving rapidly back and forth. The second is slow twitches, walking the frog home an inch at a time. The fur tail does a lot of the work for you here, so let it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Slither K is one of two bite size frogs I carry at all times. I find them best utilized in medium sparse cover or when working the edges. Cast them 1-2 feet in and work it along the edge, I guarantee there will be a bass following. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>When to Use:</b> Medium to Sparse Cover and Edges, slower presentation. The ultimate pocket jumper, be sure to let this frog sit in every pocket and let the fish get a look at it.</div>

<h4>
EverGreen - Kicker Frog</h4>
<div>
This little guy often finds himself playing second fiddle to the Deps Slither K, they both get used in similar situations but the Slither K takes more patience then I have on some days, so enter the Kicker frog. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
EverGreen makes a nice bite sized frog with a seriously sharp single hook. This frog is always swallowed whole and that hook never seems to miss on the hookset. You don't need to work the Kicker frog as much or as slowly,as the Slither K but I often use it to fish the edges of the pads or sparser pockets. This frog is well built and has a very soft flexible body and has held up season after season and fish after fish. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have a feeling this frog may get bumped from the front lines in the coming seasons, but for now I like to have a variety of sizes available and the Kicker frog suits me just fine. Also being that its an import and $$$$ I like to get my moneys worth. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>When to Use:</b> Medium to Sparse Cover and Edges, faster presentation. I use this frog when smaller profiles are needed but also when speed is my friend.</div>

<h4>
Tru Tungsten - Mad Maxx</h4>
<div>
Some will consider this a cheat, as the True Tungsten Mad Maxx frog has been discontinued for years . But I loaded up on them prior to TT going under and I'm glad I did. The Mad Maxx frog takes what SPRO started and ups the game, if has a similar body profile and angry look, but the body material is lighter and collapses as quickly and easily as a scum frog.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I call this my "confidence frog" if I'm going through a stretch with limited to no blow-ups or worse if Ive missed repeated fish I will often tie the Mad Maxx on to boost my confidence. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't often push replicas but since TruTungsten is no more, I don't feel as bad sending you to the <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Castaic_Boyd_Duckett_BD_Frog/descpage-VBDF.html">Castaic Boyd Bucket frog</a> or the Blitz Frog both of these frogs use the same mold and if not the same, a nearly identical body material. I own one of each and I just close my eyes and pretend they are Mad Maxx's.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>When to Use: </b>This is an All Situations frog that can be used in medium/heavy to sparse cover. It will not see much time in heavy cover or open water due to is light weight frame. These frogs work well when walked and paused in a more continuous retrieve. </div>

<h4>
Terminator - Walking Frog </h4>
With one season under its belt the Terminator Walking frog will start 2017 in the main frog box, but it may see some time in triple-A as some of the newer frogs start to make an appearance. The Terminator Walking frog has a unique body that is built to fish and be seen in any type of situation. It's larger bulkier frame makes it sit well on pads, while its narrower ass-end gives it a nice look when paused over pockets. It also lives up to its name, and walks like a champ over and around cover and even in open water.<br />
<br />
I wish I was able to give the Walking frog more time on the water, its nothing personal against the frog as it has been one of my favourite newcomers these past few years, it all comes down to preference and for me the bulkier body and size are not what I'm normally looking for in a frog and I often reach for less hearty frogs.<br />
<br />
<b>When to Use:</b> This is an all situations frog that does its best work in heavy to sparse cover. Like the Slither K this is a "pocket-jumper" a frog that I try to place and pause in each and every pocket in a given pad section.<br />

There you have it, the secret is out, as an angler that has tried and tested nearly 130 frogs over the past 5 seasons, these 10 are the ones I trust day in and day out when I'm on the water. So, whats in your box!<br />

<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PAg9Z_el2Dw/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PAg9Z_el2Dw?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I often get asked why I own <span style="background-color: black;">_______</span> number of fishing rods (actual number redacted to protect my marriage), and why I won't hit the water with any less then 6 rods in the boat. The answer is easy, like in any sport or profession the tools I need to do the job on any given day (an through out that day) changes, thus for the same reason golfers don't play the whole course using just a putter anglers don't fish every lure or technique with the same rod (reel, line, and so on)<br />
<br />
This is why I choose Dobyns rods. They practise the rule of "No Angler left behind" by providing us with 5 series of rod each offering a wide assortment or lengths, speeds and power ratings. Over these series I have been able to pinpoint exactly what I need for each of the techniques I use ensuing improved comfort and even more importantly improving my ability to land fish.<br />

I don't tend to review or test drive too many frogs on this site, that's what the Frog Pond is for, but when a bait has a much hype behind it as the<a href="http://www.livetargetlures.com/freshwater/sunfish-hollow-body"> Live Target Hollow Body Sunfish </a>does.. it's worth a second look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h4>
<u>Off the Shelf</u></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Live Target makes pretty baits, its what they do, but the <a href="http://www.livetargetlures.com/freshwater/sunfish-hollow-body">Hollow Body Sunfish</a> seems to have a little more bling in it then the rest of their hollow body line-up. This is a good looking bait and many anglers will be sold before they even handle one. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As for sizing, I find the two size options to be a little deceiving, the smaller size looked "ok" to me on the shelf but once out of the box it was small, so back I went to add the larger model. I was surprised to hear from one tackle that they would only be stocking the one size, but I guess with 12 color options this could get out of control quickly. Not many stored have room for 24 options of one product..My advice.. go big., don't worry about colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When first handling the frog.. er fish, it has all the traits you love from other Live Target lures, high quality imagery and hooks, along with an ultra soft body for improved hooksets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sticker shock may be an issue for Canadian Anglers, with the drop in CAD/USD exchange this bait was retailing for as high as $18.99CAD and on average ranged from $14.99 to $16.99. I picked up mine at an early season show and paid $13.99. Again this is an exchange rate issue more then a pricing issue. </div>

<h4>
<u>On the Water</u></h4>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
By now you have all seen the countless videos of this bait doing its thing in open water and sparse cover situations. There is no denying that this bait walks, swims, and flutters incredibly well, when working in these situations you can pretty much make this bait do whatever you want it to do.. as long as you have the right rod that is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When fishing in heavier cover situations I found the bait fished a bit dead. You might think that's a good thing considering it is suppose to imitate a dying or injured bait fish, but in this case I'm using the term dead to signify its complete lack of action and even feel. When pulling the Sunfish over pads and structure it has no real action and just kind of bumps along . when paused there are no legs to flair and if your fishing the smaller size the profile is almost non existent. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Casting this bait on a calm day is a dream, but if you are dealing with even a breeze this bait quickly turns into an R.A Dickey Knuckle ball and neither you nor the catcher know where it will end up. Its crescent or moon shape makes it susceptible to knuckling or curving in the wind. Keep that in mind if you are a target oriented fishing hoping to drop this bait on a dime.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, while casting can be a bitch, landing is another story. I love the gentle "thwack" the sunfish makes when it hits the water. its really sounds like a fish breaking the surface and if they were not already paying attention they are now!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you read the frog pond review <a href="http://bassjunkiesfrogpond.blogspot.ca/2016/06/live-target-hollow-body-sunfish-review.html">(HERE)</a> you know whats coming next. The hollow body Sunfish takes on water... fast. I found myself emptying on nearly every retrieve which after awhile gets pretty old. I'm not sure why this is an issue in the Sunfish as it is not an issue I had with other live target hollow body baits. I do know that when speaking to other anglers this topic seems to be hit and miss, Ive had a few guys tell me they did not experience this issue while other did. Lets hope it was an early production run issue and chalk it up to that. </div>

<h4>
<u><br />The Results</u></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have and I will continued to fish the <a href="http://www.livetargetlures.com/freshwater/sunfish-hollow-body">Live Target Hollow body Sunfish</a>, but it has become more of an condition specific bait then an all around frog. To continue with my baseball analogy above, this bait is like the middle relief pitcher, once I get into a situation that I know it can excel in, I pick up the phone and call the bull pen. But it;s never going to be a starter, its just doesn't have the talent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All testing was done on a <a href="http://dobynsrods.com/rod/dx-746c/">Dobyns DX746</a> paired with a <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Daiwa_Tatula_Type-HD_Casting_Reels/descpage-FHCD.html">Daiwa Tatula HD reel</a>. The DX746 is an amazing frog rod in situations in which you could use a little more tip. It imparts great action to frogs that do a ton of walking and it improves you short distance and skipping accuracy when casting. The Tatula HD is a beast of a reel and I never leave home without it.</div>

Im not a small guy, but not by any means am I a big guy. So when I purchase items meant to hold me up while on the water I kind of expect them to last.. more then one season that is</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But thats not the case for this one year old Springfield pedestal. It started to fail mid last year, and after two outings this season its pretty much unusable. I purchased it from Cabela's so I reached out to them to see what kind of warranty they offered on it. They let me know that the product has a 5yr warranty but its through the manufacturer and they were nice enough to provided contact their contact info.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I reach out to Springfield and I got a fairly quick reply stating that
it is under warranty and all I need to do is box it up and pay to ship it back to
them.. oh yeah, I also need to enclose a cheque for the return shipping
<b><u>$52.36USD!</u></b>. Once received they will repair it for me, or might (if I'm lucky) replace it. I found this hard to swallow because after paying to ship it to them,
and the outrageous return shipping fee, I could simply jump on the Cabela's
site and get a brand new one! cheaper and quicker..That's right these stands retail for $49.99!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I'm tired of companies hiding behind flimsy warranties, why would anyone pay the price asked when you could simply replace the stand, and I believe Springfield is banking on this. I bet they don't do too many warranty repairs<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All in all I'm pretty disappointed, mostly in Springfield but also a bit in Cabela's who are known for backing products. If you go to their site now you will see that over the past year this product repeatedly gets bad reviews due to this pin bending and in many cases breaking. Let me tell you, if mine broke and sent me falling, this short post is not the last they would have heard from me. but in this case its easier to write off Springfield and second guess myself the next time i choose to order from Cabelas </div>

This past weekend was the 5th annual Pre-Season trip to Lake Chautauqua and Lake Erie, and by pre-season I mean pre-Ontario Bass season. The 3 old guys (sorry Brian) and I loaded up two vehicles and made our annual trip over the Memorial day weekend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unlike the past few years the weather co-operated, and very unlike the past few years the fish.. not so much. The bite was tough and I'm not really sure why? yes our trip was later in the season, meaning slightly warmer water temps, but the areas we slayed fish on previous trip not only didn't product this year but often left us scratching our heads. We went deep into our bag of tricks to salvage the weekend and make sure some fish made it into the boats. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Obviously as you can see from the above image, the trip wasn't a total bust, a day one smallmouth topping 6lbs left us all smiling for days. Rick as usual finished the weekend with this, the trips biggest fish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I personally lost a nice smallie at the boat (should have taken the net help offered) and broke off a jumbo bedded largemouth that Brian and I had put in some serious work on. Short line and a long hook set makes this my fault and I'm still kicking myself today.</div>

What a blast! the 2016 Bowmanville Tackle Swap and Fishing Show was once again a huge success. right out of the gate the floor was flooded with anglers that had made the commute from all over Ontario to take in the show and score some deals. I personally spoke to anglers from Ottawa, Kingston, Hamilton and even one from Quebec.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/peter.seto.7?fref=ts">Peter Seto</a> runs one hell of a show, from having volunteers on hand to help you unload you gear when you arrive to personally walking around shaking hands and thanking you for coming. The MC make stops at most if not all booths giving vendors the chance to talk on the PA system in turn driving traffic to your booth. This event is truly run with the angler in mind.<br />
<br />
For those not stocking up, there was still a ton to do, from rubbing elbows with celebrity anglers like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Just-Fishing-with-Big-Jim-McLaughlin-165441460205465/?fref=ts">Big Jim</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jpderosefishing/?fref=ts">JP DeRose</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pete.bowman.90?fref=ts">Pete Bowman</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/David-Chong-Fishing-Personality-1563182420630599/?fref=ts">David Chong</a>, or entering the various door prizes or even just showing off your flipping skills. There really was something for everyone.<br />
<br />
I think this small yet growing showing has better steals and deals then I heave ever found at the Toronto Sportsman show or Spring Fishing Show, it has the perfect combination of guys cleaning out their garage, small up and comers like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/1000-Islands-Custom-Lures-766408246774625/?fref=ts">Thousand Island Baits</a>, and of course some of the big guns like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/theperfectjig/?fref=ts">The Perfect Jig</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DaiwaCanada/?fref=ts">Daiwa</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/projfishingtackle/?fref=ts">Pro J Tackle</a> who of course had <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DobynsRods/?fref=ts">Dobyns Rods</a> on hand. All this and the price of admission was a food bank donation or $3 for a family.. you can't beat that.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the charity side of the show, this year over 900lbs of can goods were collected by the Salvation army for the local food bank.. big congrats to all those who dropped off goods.<br />
<br />
Enough talking, check out just some of the cool stuff found at this years Tackle Swap!<br />

My first BassJunky Customs booth was a pretty big hit. It was great to finally meet some of the guys who have been supporting my thus far as well as get some future orders in the queue. I was really pleased with the amount of hooks and jigs that went, and combine that will reducing some of the soft plastic overstock (we all sit on) and I really couldn't be happier. Hell I even sold a few frogs (gasp).<br />
<br />
I want to thank my buddy Bob who made the journey with me and worked the booth so I could occasionally take the odd washroom break.<br />

If you haven't already heard the buzz around <a href="http://www.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?Language=E&Mode=1&DocId=8132005">Bill C-246</a> than your are probably not and avid fisherman. Believe me, it didn't take long today for my social media time-lines to blow up with posts from fellow anglers voicing their concerns with the now already infamous <a href="http://www.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?Language=E&Mode=1&DocId=8132005">bill C-246</a><br />
<br />
Bill C-246 is the Modernizing Animal Protections Act, and was originally designed to protect animals from vicious and or cruel owners who may be raising them to fight or kill. As it pertains to the fisheries act the bill cites that it's sole purpose is to aid in stopping the act of shark finning.<br />
<br />
If we take this bill at face value its objective seems clear and something that most Canadians could easily get behind. But, with that said when reading the bill a tournament angler like myself quickly noticed how once passed this law could easily be turned against fisherman.<br />
<br />
Section 182.1 of the act lists the offences in which a person could be found to be breaking the law, give them a read in their current wording and let me know if you see any possible issues or concerns for anglers?<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: orange;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 0.75rem; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">(a) </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">causes or, being the owner, permits to be caused unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to an animal;</span> </span><br />
Would hooking a fish be considered "causing unnecessary pain and suffering? if you answered yes, that could cost you $10,000 in fines and up to 18 months in jail.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ever lost a fish in the live well or enjoyed a shore lunch? if you answered yes, that could cost you $10,000 in fines and up to 18 months in jail.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Are we reading too much into this? maybe. Do I believe this Bill will come to pass in a way that is detrimental to the sport of fishing in Ontario? no, but as anglers we need to do our part to ensure our rights are protected. I for one will learn everything I can about Bill C-246 and you should too!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>P.S:</b> Lets not turn this into an Us vs. Them situation, many supporters of this bill are not anti fishing but simply animal lovers looking to protect often neglected wild and domestic animals. An animal cruelty and protection act is needed, but Bill C-246 as written has the potential to do much harm to an important Canadian industry<br />

<br />
If there was one technique I have always wanted to spend more time on, it has to be the Carolina-rig aka the C-Rig. This technique offers anglers the perfect combination of noise and life-like movement and it's incredibly versatile in that it can be fished at any depth, bottom type and/or structure. Not to mention the bait combinations are endless, from traditional lizard baits, swim-baits and even senkos.<br />
<br />
The C-Rig is known to put big fish in the boat and yet it is highly under utilized (even more so in northern Canadian waters). I believe the reason behind this simply comes down to confidence, confidence in the technique and confidence in your equipment. Rod choice is paramount when working the Carolina Rig and the wrong rod will not only effect your ability to properly fish this technique but it will also mean missed bites and missed fish.<br />
<br />
If you're like me and would like to learn more about why Carolina Rig fisherman choose Dobyns rods, read on....<br />

catch a few fish on it but never had great success. I have tried everything
there is to perfect the technique and to me I believe I have done just that. I
will explain my complete set up and why I chose each item. To begin with, rod
selection is as important just as important as the reel and the line. You want
something that is stout yet still a bit flexible in the tip. Gary Dobyns has
designed the perfect rod for this technique. It is the <a href="http://dobynsrods.com/">Dobyns Champion 804C</a> and
is called the C-rig special. The feel of this rod is amazing and I have not
used another rod for C-rig that compares. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><i>Next is the reel and line.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I pair the Dobyns 804c with a <a href="http://www.lews.com/">Lews BB1 Speed Spool</a> (7.1:1 gear ratio). Lews
has one of the smoothest casting reels on the market and the 7.1:1 ratio will
allow you to retrieve line quickly to connect with fish on longs casts. I will
spool the Lews reel with 1<a href="http://www.getvicious.com/">7 pound Vicious Pro Elite Fluorocarbon.</a> I want line
strong enough to fish brush and abrasion resistant when I am in and around
rocks. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Now that we have the rod, reel and line covered, its time for the most important detail in a C-rig setup which is at the opposite end of the
rod. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started with a standard
weight (tungsten or lead), a bead (glass or plastic), and a clacker but I was
not satisfied with the sound. To me it was not natural. I looked to a company
called <a href="http://www.stoneyriversinkers.com/">Stoney River Sinkers</a>. They manufacture stone sinkers. When a baitfish scurries
or more so a crawfish they will push rocks against rocks. Once I tried the rock
weights my bites increased considerably. This rock on rock noise is what both the fish and I needed. I use two rock egg sinkers weights on my C-rig. Always use weights you are
comfortable with. I use ½ oz. and ¼ oz. and the sinkers will stop at a swivel
allowing them to slide. It is imperative to have the “slide”. It is what makes
the sound that calls the fish in and also has very little resistance when the fish bites. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Following the
swivel I use <a href="http://www.getvicious.com/">12 pound Pro Elite Fluorocarbon leader</a>. Leader length depends on
what the fish want. I start off with 2-3 foot and will make it shorter to see
what the fish prefer. Attached to the leader I have a <a href="http://www.ownerhooks.com/">3/0 Owner J hook</a>. I use
Owner hooks because of the three cutting edges creating less resistance of any
other hook in its class. You can use just about any plastic bait on the market
and it all boils down to what you have confidence in throwing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Use the offset hook and skin hook your plastic
bait. My bait of choice is a creature or craw style bait to mimic the sound of
my sinkers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Location is still critical
when fishing a C-rig. Focus on long points, shallow humps, or deep ledges. The
technique can work anywhere. Use your electronics to find fish. Cast your C-rig
and drag slowly along the bottom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stay
in touch with the bottom. Vary your retrieve and leader length. Remember what
you were doing when you get bit and duplicate it. I have gained the confidence
I need in the C-rig not only succeed but win tournaments. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can too!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

As soon as the Smallmouth have finished spawning on Lake
Champlain, the first thing I am looking forward to is breaking out the Carolina
rig. Its not that i don't enjoy the month or so in between of non stop top
water and jerk bait fishing, but the Carolina rig is one of my favorite ways to
both learn more about the lake and absolutely crush some big fish in deep
water. The think you are able to do with this bait on a lake like Champlain is
pretty fun! I use this tactic to learn the bottom of the lake, learn how to use
my electronics, and of course catching fish in places other people may not
look! Just as important as the bait, the other pieces (hooks, line, weights,
rod, and reel) of equipment that I use for this tactic are just as important.<o:p></o:p></div>

so fun is that it is an opportunity to learn your electronics while you cover
water. Typically when I am in exploration mode on the ever complex Lake
Champlain I am pin pointing areas with my <a href="http://www.humminbird.com/Products/HELIX-10-SI-GPS/">Humminbird Helix 10 SI</a> that fit what
I am looking for. I look for small area that stick out to me that I don't think
others would notice. With the amount of people who fish the lake, that may be
difficult, but I still feel confident in my ability to locate something a
little different. I find the places the look good and then scan and drag
through until I can find the key spot. Often times I am able to locate a key
spot by dragging a Carolina rig and watching the graph. I am able to feel the
bottom, while watching the bottom on the graph, and by doing so I am able to
find things that are not obvious on the graph, or something I miss. I am
looking for a spot I can lock into and make repeated casts or sit on and pick
apart with a variety of baits and techniques. Its a great way to catch fish and
learn the fine details that you may not understand on your fish finders. On
lake like Champlain, with very deep water and many reefs, humps, points,
islands, and grass, it can often times be very convenient to fish the obvious
places because with the many places to fish, there are indeed places that
anyone who drops a boat in the water is going to see and fish. Most likely
there will be fish there, and they will catch them. I like to look deeper and
explore anything that looks good, no matter the depth. Sometimes that extends
to over 50'.<o:p></o:p></div>

The equipment for this tactic is as important as the
presentation. I like a heavy rod and a fast reel. My go to almost 95% of the
time is a <a href="http://dobynsrods.com/rod/ss-735c/">Dobyns 735C</a>. The <a href="http://dobynsrods.com/rod/ss-735c/">Savvy</a> or <a href="http://dobynsrods.com/rod/fr-735c/">Fury</a> Series will both prevail for this
tactic and I pair it with a high speed <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Daiwa_Tatula_100_Casting_Reel/descpage-DTTO.html">Daiwa Tatula Reel</a> with 17-20 pound <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/searchresults.html?search=products&searchtext=Gamma+fluorocarbon">Gammafluorocarbon</a> line. I like a 1 OZ weight most of the time because I want the
bait to get to the bottom fast and I want constant bottom contact. Being able
to feel each rock on the bottom is important and the sensitivity of the rod
allows you to differentiate between a bite and bottom contact. The drawback
with a heavy weight is you do snap off more often but I will always make the
trade for bottom contact. The heavy weight allows for a slower drag especially
when fighting in the wind. When I am fishing a grass edge for Smallmouth (and
Largemouth) I will sometimes drop down to a lighter weight and make the switch
to the <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Dobyns_Fury_Casting_Rods/descpage-DFC.html">Fury 734</a>. On lakes where wind and current can be a determine factor, the
heavy weight and heavy rod is key and the ability to get a solid hook set and
keep the fish hooked makes all the difference.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Fury series works perfect for throwing a Carolina
because the rod is the perfect mix of backbone and sensitivity. Another key
with the 735, spooled with 17 or 20 lb fluorocarbon, I can easily make the
switch to another tactic. I love to mix and match rods and put them to absolute
test with as many uses as possible on any given day. The Fury line up will
certain make you a better fisherman and the Carolina Rig is just one of many
things I use my 735C for.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The Carolina Rig is often a go-to technique
for me when I’m in need of finding some fish on a tough day. Using a C-rig to
cover a lot of water while keeping the bait low and in front of the bass seems
to work on days when not much else will. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I’m primarily a kayak angler from Northwest
Arkansas and will fish rivers, small no motor lakes and FLW Tour stop, Beaver
Lake. Even though these types of water are all different, a C-rig can play a
part in each one, whether I’m dragging it deep in the clear waters of Beaver
Lake, or attacking wide flats near the main current in a river system. My
favorite places are often gravel and chunk rock gently sloping banks in spring
or areas of standing pole timber in hot weather. Generally I’ll use a pretty
standard setup with a large Carolina weight, along with swivel and hook.
Depending on the situation, weather and water color I will choose either a <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Yum_Dinger/descpage-YD.html">YumDinger</a>, <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Yum_Wooly_HawgCraw_7pk/descpage-YWHC.html">Yum Wooly Hawg-Tail</a> or a <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Yum_Lizard/descpage-YLZD.html">Yum Lizard</a> as the bait.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Like most kayak fishermen, I’m looking for
good equipment at a lower price point. I’ve become a huge fan of the Dobyns
Fury rod series, which is a great rod at an affordable price. For a C-rig I use
the <a href="http://dobynsrods.com/rod/fr-704c/">Dobyns Fury 704C</a>, which is a 7’ Heavy Fast Action stick along with an
<a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Ardent_Apex_Grand_Casting_Reels/descpage-GRA.html">Ardent Apex Grand 7:3:1</a> reel. It’s also important to a kayak angler to be
versatile on the water, we can’t carry a dozen rods on an outing like a bass
boat fisherman. The Dobyns 704C is also a great option in case I need to switch
to a Texas Rig, Jig, Spinnerbait or Horny Toad. By adding a <a href="http://dobynsrods.com/rod/fr-705cb/">Dobyns Fury 705CB</a>
and a <a href="http://dobynsrods.com/rod/fr-734c/">734C</a> to the mix, I can throw just about any baitcast technique I need.
Give the Dobyns Fury Series a try, you will be surprised what a quality rod you
can get for the money.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I made the move to Daiwa reels nearly 5 years ago now, and since that time the Daiwa Zillion has been the holy grail in the line up. Not their most expensive reel but priced just high enough that for the longest time I only had one in my arsenal.. well not any more, With the launch of the <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Daiwa_Zillion_TWS_Casting_Reels/descpage-TWSZ.html">Zillion TWS Daiwa</a> is making it easier for every angler to get their hands on their first Zillion reel, or like me, their second and third. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Pro's</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the biggest changes between the <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Daiwa_Zillion_TWS_Casting_Reels/descpage-TWSZ.html">Zillion TWS</a> and classic Zillion is the addition of the TWS T-Wing line guide which was originally introduced on the Dawia Tatula and has since made the jump to the Zillion. The TWS offers improved casting distance by allowing your line to move freely through the spool. Once you bait hits the water and you start your retrieve the T-Wing is disengaged giving you a smooth controlled retrieve. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Speaking of retrieves the <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Daiwa_Zillion_TWS_Casting_Reels/descpage-TWSZ.html">Zillion TWS</a> is available is 4 different retrieves including standards like 6:3:1 and 7:3:1, a slower retrieve 5:3:1 and a speedy 9:3:1. In all honestly I don't really mess round with anything outside the 6 or 7:3:1, this allows me to carry fewer reels and use hand speed to alter how I want the bait to fish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Although my classic Zillion is my spinnerbait reel, I prefer to use the <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Daiwa_Zillion_TWS_Casting_Reels/descpage-TWSZ.html">Zillion TWS</a> for shorter or slower applications like jig fishing or spot frog fishing (target specific). The 90mm swept handle and large thumb pads are perfect for these applications giving you the power you want without brushing your thumb up (remember Sega thumb?) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When reviews of the Zillion TWS first started to publish one area the reel was praised for was its Drag performance. The Zillion TWS offered up an incredibly smooth 18lb's of pressure. I'm not know for my tech skills so if you want to learn more about the Zillion's drag check out this TackleTour review <a href="http://www.tackletour.com/reviewdaiwazilliontwspg2.html">HERE</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When it comes to break adjustment Daiwa does it right by offering up external adjustments from 0-20 really allowing you to find that sweet spot not mater the bait size or weather conditions. If your a control freak like I am, this is a knob you won't be able to keep you hands off of.</div>

<h3>
Con's</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Con" is not a word I have ever associated with a Zillion reel, so I'm going to have to dig deep here to offer you up some cons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The most obvious one that guys may jump to is price point. The Zillion series has always been priced in the $300+ range which until you fish a reel in that category can seem pricey. The <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Daiwa_Zillion_TWS_Casting_Reels/descpage-TWSZ.html">Zillion TWS</a> comes in just under $300 and when I say just under I mean by pennies or a penny. The value is quite evident once you spool up but sticker shock would be the first con I would list.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The second con is only really evident if you have or are currently fishing a classic Zillion reel. The Zillion TWS sits differently in you hand then its older brother and if you were expected the same fit you may see this as a con.</div>

Overall the Zillion TWS is a great way to introduce your self to what Daiwa has to offer. This reel is loaded with many of the perks that Daiwa built its name on, not to mention a few advances that angels have been raving about. Its funny, the joke around the TWS system is that it was designed for use on an entry level reel and was so performance enhancing that it was added to reels higher on the food chain.. and that doesn't happen to often.<br />
<br />
At the end of each season I always look back on my reels performance and I have to say.. Thanks a Zillion Daiwa!<br />

Marabou Jigs have long been part of my arsenal.. my Walleye arsenal that is. It wasn't until I noticed that many of Canada's best smallmouth anglers were breaking away from tradition and using small marabou jigs to chase big smallmouth bass that I decided it was worth looking into</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
the problem is, small 1/8th to 1/4oz Marabou jigs are not exactly easy to find in most tackle stores. Most bass manufactures focus on the classic silicon flipping jigs and leave the hair and feather jigs to the fly fisherman. So I asked some anglers where they bought their jigs, and the answer surprised me.. they made their own, and if they could, why couldn't I.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just like when tying feathered trebles the best thing about making your own marabou jigs is that you get to choose the quality of the hook, the desired weight as well as the colour combination. For me this usually results in all black jigs with unpainted heads tied on Owner ball head jigs ranging in weight between 1/8th to 1/4oz.. But from time to time I too can break the mold and tie up more interesting combinations like a fire orange jig with feather appendages and a sickle hook.. see the possibilities are endless<span style="text-align: center;">.</span></div>

<br />
They say you can learn allot about a person by watching their hands. And the team at<a href="http://www.majorleaguefishing.com/Video_list.aspx"> Major League fishing</a> must agree after recently posting a 21-minute POV video of Kevin VanDam frantically looking for one last fish during day 1 of the 2015 Challenge Cup on Cross Lake. The video shot with a GoPro camera on a chest mount gives you the perfect view of KVD's hands at work.<br />
<br />
I watched the video from start to finish and in even with the sound off its amazing how easily you can see KVD go through a gamut of emotions just by watching his hands! Anywhere from the excitement of getting a strike, to the frustration of patiently waiting for the judge to reset the weigh scale, this video covers it all.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VbM_Z0A0OuU/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VbM_Z0A0OuU?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
Its well worth the 20+ minutes of your time, as every tournament angler will know exactly what KVD is going through and every non-tournament angler gets a look at what its like in those last few minutes before the final bell. My arms are tired from watching KVD do this thing<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks again to <a href="http://www.majorleaguefishing.com/Video_list.aspx">Major League fishing</a> for continually producing coverage that the angler craves. No one quite does fishing like MLF<br />

Swim baits are a technique that have alluded me thus far, I just can't seem to pick it up. Oh sure like you I own a few swim baits, some small and cheap and others large and expensive, I buy them because each season I tell myself that this will be the year that I have success with a swim bait. But when that season ends I'm right where I left off, a pile a swim baits on my shelf and no additional fish in the boat, what am I missing?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
To answer my own question.. The right gear to get the job done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Swim bait fishing more then another bass fishing technique demands the right gear in order to be successful, throwing big heavy baits without the right rod and reel is like getting tattooed in your friends basement with a homemade machine and some pen ink.. See where I'm going?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If you're like me and want to improve your swim bait skills then keep reading, because the two anglers below really know there way around a swim bait and as you can see above.. They sure can put fish in the boat (or kayak) </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I try to keep my swimbait rod selection as simple and
streamlined as possible. There are so many rods and so many baits its easy for
an angler to go broke trying to figure it all out. My swimbaits are broken into
4 categories with one rod supporting each category. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first category is jighead swimbaits. This is going to
cover <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Basstrix_Swimbaits/catpage-SWMBSSTRX.html">basstrix</a>, <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Keitech_Swimbaits/catpage-KESWIM.html">keitechs,</a> and just about anything else that you put a swimbait
hook, jighead, or insert into, regardless of size. My favorite rod for this
application is the <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Dobyns_Champion_Flipping_Rods/descpage-DCFRT.html">Dobyns Champion Series 765 Flip</a>. This rod has a great flex
and is very good at keeping fish pegged once you set the hook. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second category is what I consider "smaller
swimbaits". This is going to encompass everything from oversized walking
baits up to 6" soft and hardbaits like an <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Osprey_Swimbaits/catpage-SWMOSPREY.html">Osprey</a> or <a href="http://www.jsjbaits.com/">JSJ Snacksize</a>. For
these baits I like to use the <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Dobyns_Champion_Swimbait_Rods/descpage-DCSBT.html">795 SMBT</a>. This rod has a short handle and allows
you to easily cast and work these mid range baits without the clumsiness of an
8+ foot rod. Also, the short handle allows for a great deal of accuracy working
with different cast angles around docks and other cover. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The third category is my treble hooks swimbaits. This
encompasses every bait over the 6" cut off that has a treble hook on it.
From soft line-thru baits all the way up to 10+" glide baits, I throw on
one rod. Frankly, its not the rod people expect. I use the <a href="http://dobynsrods.com/rod/806-hsb/">806H</a> for all treble
hook swimbaits. Depending on the bait the rod may feel "overloaded"
on the cast, but when you set the hook into a giant bass you're going to appreciate
the flex this rod has as it keeps those hooks pegged in that fish's mouth.<o:p></o:p></div>

the 807. Once you set the hook, start working that reel like a winch and never
let up! The rod will do the rest.<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Rod selection is critical in swimbait fishing and the two
factors of rod design to take into consideration are power and action. I prefer
5 and 7 power, fast action blanks that carry enough muscle to drive home hooks,
but have enough softness in the tip to cushion those wild boat side surges big
bass are known to take. I utilize a versatile pair of Dobyns that allow me to
cover a wide range of swimbaits between 5 and 9 inches.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
My smaller swimbait setup is a <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Dobyns_Fury_Casting_Rods/descpage-DFC.html">Fury 795SB</a> paired with a
<a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Daiwa_Tatula_Type-HD_Casting_Reels/descpage-FHCD.html">Daiwa Tatula HD</a>. The 795SB is a fast action 7 foot 9 inch 5 power rod rated. I
find the sweet spot to be between 2-3.5 ounces although it is versatile enough
throw lures as light as a 5 inch <a href="http://www.bullshad.com/">Bull Shad</a> and as heavy as an ROF 5 <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Huddleston_Deluxe_8_Trout/descpage-HD8T.html">Huddleston8” trout</a>. I use it predominantly for throwing jointed hard baits, glide baits,
and line through soft baits. Dobyns really nailed the action on this blank as
it is a true fast action that walks the line between penetrating power and
forgiveness that allows the desired amount of give in the tip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

I use a <a href="http://dobynsrods.com/rod/807-mag-hsb/">Champion 807 MAG HSB</a> for my larger baits. The 807 is
a fast action 8 foot 7 power rod that is comfortable throwing baits in the 3-6
ounce range. It pairs well with large round 400 size reels or low profile 300
size reels like the <a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Daiwa_Lexa_300_Casting_Reels/descpage-DL3C.html">Lexa 300</a>. It is a fairly fast rod, so it drives home top
hook soft baits well, but I think it excels with large jointed baits like the 9
inch Bull Shads I throw so often. It has the guts to muscle in an 8 pounder,
but just enough forgiveness in the tip when it gets to net.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

January is usually a pretty cold month, but my man and fellow Dobyns Rods teammate <a href="https://www.instagram.com/paulmuellerfishing/">Paul Mueller </a>is heating things up with a great video on the Rein CrawTube. As always Paul's videos are loaded with monster fish as well as tips and tricks on how to get the best out of your baits.<br />
<br />
This particular video features the Reins <a href="http://reinsfishing.com/products.html#!/CRAW-TUBE/p/34602366/category=409323">CrawTube</a>, a great all around bait for flipping docks and dragging rocks. I'll let Paul give your the low down...<br />

Feathered or dressed treble hooks are an important element to your top water lures and jerk baits. They add that natural live like movement to your your baits even on the longest of pauses. The weird thing is that many baits come without this finishing touch and others come with a quick and cheap version that won't last your first few fish.. so if you want to be keep your baits looking alive, your going to need to learn to tie your own (or you know, purchase some from me, lol).</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The Key to any good custom treble starts with the hook, I tie all of my trebles exclusively with Gamakatsu hooks, this means they cost me a bit more, but the one thing you learn early in fishing is never skimp on your hook.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once you have your hook selected you can now start to narrow down the colours you want to use, in this instance I'm keeping it simple and tying what I call the "classic stinger" meaning white feathers with a red or black thread and some crystal flashing. This design works with any bait colour combination and is probably the most common dressed treble colour on the market today.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What makes my custom trebles different? as mentioned above it comes down to quality components and a little extra time and care. You may notice on many of the stock feathered hooks that come on your baits they only use 3 feathers, this makes your treble susceptible to wearing out quickly as well as not giving off as big of a profile as my custom hooks do. I use 2 feathers per size, 6 total per treble, so if one breaks down the hook still has its motion and profile intact. I'm also pretty heavy handed with the nose thread and head cement. You want everything sealed up tight to ensure durability. </div>

I'm excited to announce that I was lucky enough to snag one of the very few remaining tables left for the 2016 Bowmanville Tackle Swap and Fishing Show. Each year this show gets bigger and better, with over 3,000 anglers attending the show last year alone!<br />
<br />
If you have never had the chance to attend the show here's the break down... For one day only the Garnet B Rickard Recreation Complex is transformed into the worlds best fishing store giving anglers the opportunity to thin out their collection by selling personal gear "swap meet style" and maybe even picking up a few items missing from their arsenal. Tables are available to both anglers and businesses alike making it the perfect mix of fishing show and swap meet.<br />
<br />
I'm excited to be on hand this year, selling off some of my custom trebles, smallie snack jigs as well as some gear (including the odd frog bait)<br />
<br />
As always the show is in support of the Salvation Army Food-bank and the cost of admission is a non-perishable food donation or $3 per family. On top of all the great deals this show is loaded with knowledgeable pro staffers, door prizes and every kid under 13 will receive a free fishing related item.<br />
