I agree with pretty much everything posted. However, a case of the lock jaw will not prevent me from casting at them.

I've just started using Power Pro, and am a big fan. I still like a horny toad better, but my other weedless frogs took a stiff rod and line with absolutely zero stretch to ever get a solid hookset.

I've also recently started using the Booyah version of the chatterbait. Think they call it a boogie bait or something. Anyway, the bass have been hitting it like crazy.

This year, I've filed the barbs off of most of my hooks. I've also taken the front set of treble hooks off all of my crankbaits. Still catching as many fish, just a lot fewer obstacles. Also having a much easier time getting the hooks out of the fish.
