Thank God for real tits, but she has a fucked-up looking nose and lips.

Fucking hell after the brutal mogging on the lake I just received today I'm a true believer in slant eye lures
Friend fishing with me caught a 7 pounder, 5 pounder and a few dinks while I only got dinks using a bass pro xps staredown
Both of us were using the same twitch twitch pause technique yet he was getting way more good bites
I'm going to grab a megabass vision 110 I don't give a fuck that they're more expensive there's clearly some extremely refined japanese tism going on here that the fish love

>>2884376
I'd love to cum in her pussy missionary if you know what I mean

Hard bait is where you get what you pay for since there are multiple details that can affect the performance of the lure

Hello, anons. I have created a Google Form for this year's Secret Santa. The following text has been included in the Google Form, but I am also posting it here:
>$20 gift minimum. The deadline to sign up is November 23. Deadline to ship packages is December 15.
>I will match participants based on fly fishing or conventional fishing interest. Conventional brick and mortar tackle shops are common, but fly shops are not as widespread. Plus, a fly fisherman may not be able to pick out an appropriate gift for a spin fisherman and vice versa.
>While the typical thing to do is to go to a local store or make a bait/fly yourself, it is also totally acceptable to order an item online and have it shipped directly to the giftee's address. Furthermore, the deadline has been chosen with the intention of allowing Santas to take advantage of Black Friday deals, get a package shipped to their home, and then ship out the recipient's gift(s).
>I recommend using Pirate Ship for the best postage rates. If you have any questions, ask in the thread.

El niner...

Why do I catch tons on finesse presentations like texas rigs and dropshots but rarely get so much as a nibble on jigheads? And yes I've tried to vary speeds and retrieves, use lighter weights and different jighead types and they're still nowhere near as productive for me as finesse presentations regardless of conditions. Now I'm feeling like a dumbass sitting with hundreds of unused jigheads in my tackle box I've spent money on for nothing

>>2884383
If you really want to mog him use a wacky rig

I'd generally consider jig heads a finesse presentation. What are you fishing on them, and what kind of cover are you fishing? I personally like to throw them mostly around rocks, either swimming soft plastics just above the rocks or snap jigging soft plastics off the rocks. Slow rolling certain soft plastics on a jig under a bobber can be very effective too.

>>2884402
jigs or jigheads?

>>2884405
Make a burner account.

>>2884376
if you fish with lures i consider you a tryhard b*ss fisherman. real men fish with bait. i'm trying to eat

>>2884407
O shit you're right
>>2884406
I was only talking jig heads here but skirted jigs are also a whole thing

there's nothing that beat livebaiting, but lures are fast, easy, and catch fish you can put on the table

>>2884433
only lure I'll ever use is a small silver spinner for trout but that's only if i don't feel like fly fishing
worms are free. so are bugs. caught a bluegill off a dead cockroach one time

>>2884435
i like the catch bug > catch baitfish > catch fish process
but sometimes you got two hours free and you'd like pike for dinner so you use the last size 3 mepps inline spinner your grandpa bought that wasn't lost in a snag
[spoiler]i still have seven of these and some size two as well[/spoiler]

>>2884426
Live bait only fishermen have no skills.

>>2884426
Just go wageslaving and buy some fishes from the market if you need to eat.

>>2884439
Do tournament winning catfishermen have no skills? I almost never fish with bait, and I am not really arguing with you, just offering a counterpoint, something you missed.

>>2884443
>pay 8.99/lb for some shitty frozen unfrozen ocean fish when i got a lake full of free bluegill and crappie right next door
lel

If you can't catch crappie or bluegill with a lure you're a brown googan that shouldn't be allowed to touch a rod.

Fishing in the southeast blows cock

>>2884385
What do you mean ?

>>2884407
I was talking about Jigheads. Metals (jigs) are actually pretty effective for me when I'm targeting pelagics or rockfish when the current is strong and I need bottom contact quickly. Of course I remove the treble for the latter and just jig with the assist hooks.
>>2884406
I mostly fish jetties, rocky shorelines and sometimes harbor walls and docks at night when I want a quick chill shesh. Jetty fishing with jigheads for me is near impossible and I get snagged on boulders every 3 or so casts if I try to bottom hop them for the species I'm targeting. And steady retrieves never get hit for me, which makes sense since I mostly target bottom ambush predator species that don't chase much. I do like your idea of using a slip Bobber though, as I can suspend it right above structure and do a reel reel pause and sink. I might give that a try, thanks bud.

These things are a pain in the ass

>>2884426
Bait fishing is boring and for boomers

>>2884472
That's a cool bumper stop.

>>2884471
Most bottom predators will come out quite far from the bottom to chase foods and bite. There are some exceptions, but even then, it's usually regard to soft structure like sand/weed/grass rather than boulders/rocky spots. Once you understand this and develop your fishing dogma to stop dragging your jigs at the bottom too much, you will catch more fishes and snag less shit. Run your lure 1-5 ft above hard bottom (depend on depth). Use super light and slow sinking lures/jigs if you are inexperienced but you can start moving to slightly heavier jig/lure for better efficiency once you have better feel for your lure sinking rate and timing.

are ya eging, son?

To cut to the chase and keep a long story short, I am going to buy 3 new spinning rods. I'm definitely getting a 6'6 MLF. I have a 7'0 MLF, and I hate the length, especially for wade fishing, which I do a lot of, and kayak fishing. I have a MF 6'6, and I don't like the handle, so I'm thinking of replacing it with a different 6'6 MF. Then again, I could also get a MXF rod. I'm strongly considering an MLXF 6'3, but the person who recommended that rod most fishes jerkbaits while wading, which isn't something I do. I'm mostly a jig fisherman who wades, but I like throwing crankbaits. Plus, I'm getting more into fish dams. With the ML rods, I'd use them for wading, but an M, I would use for wading and the dam. I've got an MHF 7'1 casting rod for heavy baits, so I've got that area covered.
Let me know your thoughts.

>>2884506
there's probably one MF that fit all your usecases
