favorite manufacturer? 2024
njvbass reply :
I was going through one of many tacklebags tonight and noticed a majority of my newest tackle is either Yum or zoom. This must be my favorite. What is everyones fav. lure co.or tackle.For rods I seem to a big fan of st. Croix,and reels I'm leaning more and more against Shimano.

roadwarrior reply :
I like those Daiichi X-Points, too. Wish they would expand their offerings, it seems odd that the line is so limited.
Pond-Pro reply :
I try not to create a favorite company. If you do this you might miss out on other oportunities with other brand's baits.
ernel reply :
I can't honestly sat that I have one lure company that I like over the others. I have lures from just about every lure mfg in my tackle box. Lures from different mfgs do preform differently, so I can't limit myself to lust one company.

Come on pond -pro I know you got a whole dufflebag of senkos!
njvbass reply :
G-loomis looks like a popular rod.How would you g-loomis guys compare that to a st.croix. Basically what I'm asking is their that much of different feel.Besides the price
njvbass reply :

At least their not thongs!
roadwarrior reply :
njvbass: G.Loomis and St. Croix both make very good rods. I think the overall quality of construction, sensitivity and strength are comparable.
AUTgrPilot reply :
I like the G. Loomis for the combination of feel and the lightness. A Loomis hardly weighs anything. I've only ever fished a St Croix once.

4" Zoom Finese Worms or 4" Zoom Lizards ( I love to split shot rig)
4" and 5" Tiki Stiks Chartruese/Watermelon swirl. I can't beleive how well this bait works fished weightless. By far the most effective bait I've used in my short but sweet bassin career.
Gammy EW offset worm hooks.
8 lb. Trilene XL
