Ok. Hope everything works out re: your house either way. But thanks again...It's kinda chilly here in South La. I'm going to try to hit the lake this weekend.

Chuck,

Do you use a specific rod/rod reel for each lure so that you don't have to change the lures out everytime you want to fish differently. I plan to invest in a new spinning rod later but for now I have a baitcast so everytime i want to fish a different lure I have to cut the line and tie on a new one. More rod/reels would alleviate this problem because I could just use a specific rod/reel for each lure. Does this make sense?

When I was like you I had one rod..I cut my line..Since then I've aquired more rods..So yes sir..I carry5 or 6 rods to keep from changing lures..For my Rooster Tail I use a spinning rod..All other rods are baitcasters..Most of my rods are medium heavy 7 foot Team Diawas..I also have Lightning Rods ...My Rooster Tail is on a 6 1/2 foot Lightening rod spinning Medium Action..Teh black and blue worm is on a Fenwick 7 footer I got from a yard sale for 7.00Books for 70.00 Med. Heavy..got blessed.
Cy a man and good liuck this year

I would almost kill to have that rod, I love them and I can not find them around here anymore.

I didn't like it at first..The handle is much thicker than the Team Diawa..but I'm used to it now..It's the Fenwick Legacy .
It's in mint condition. Since Josh got me fishing 7 foot rods I buy them when I see them..especially for that price. There are 2 main types of hook sets for worming..I use the pull set instead of thesnap set as most do. The 7 footers are great for the solid pull hook sets.

Honestly..my wife is the one who taught me the pullset ...No other fishermen I personally know does.this..The restall told me to cross their eyes.{Snap set}.Whenever I tried that..I pulled the worm out of their mouth..The pull set technique...well just watch the video..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPnRALrRSZQ

Chuck- where can I pick up the Gambler worms? I looked around for them but they don't seem to be up north anywhere.

Chuck7

On their web site..Another fellow on here bought some but said { They were out of the 6 inchers so I bought the 7 inchers } Please don't ..With Gambler the 7 inchers are much fatter. I felt bad for the fishermen. The 6 inchers are the only ones I buy.

here is their site..The style I use is the 6 inch Ribbon tail...Christmas Tree.Color.

I just noticed..7 inch is the smallest size they carry..your on your own partner..{ I hate wasting peoples' money}I don't want to mislead ya. Another worm that is very much available is the Zoom worm which can be bought in Walmart..They sell a 6 inch..red shad I use alot..I also love Bass Assassins. For me any slim, soft, dark colored worm is good which has been scented..and has a curly tail.I used Tom Mann's Jelly worms for years..blackberry with blue tail

Chuck7

I wentto a local tackle shop which has a handful of 6 inch Gamblers left..The only colors are red shad and Imerial Blue..
used ot be called Electric Blue.
I boated 4 bass on blue today and 1 bass on a diving Rapala.
Total ..5 bass..
Weather ..dangerously windy..I tied my boat to a branch and cast in this little cut where you see in the picture..I know there is a sunken tree there.Best fish was 2 3/4 pounds..still no signs of spawning.

Whoa, nice fish Chuck. I can't wait to get on the water...
