That's almost as bad as Torch telling us about his RECTAL EXAM.... PURPLE RODS? OUCH
Does he really catch fish with those? Maybe he uses those during the spawn, that way he only catches the big females
I saw that, thought maybe he was a she? Been wrong on the internet
before :p
Either that or Wifey picked those out for him. They are CUTE though
Heck I thought those were Wannabe's purty poles.
Takes a manly swagger to load them rods on a boat and fish all day with them. And yes, they are MS. Crappie Rods. Now when I bought them, they assured me this is what all the real fish catching heroes in Mississippi use to haul them slabs out with.
Once I got them home, it sho' nuff said "MS. Crappie" right on the rods. Only paid 20 bucks a piece for them from that manly of manly places what sells fishing junk, Bass Pro Shop.
I don't think they work though, I don't have the sashay quite right yet.
I kinda like them, all except the pink tips. I'm not quite comfortable in my sexuality to have pink colored tips on my rods yet, but I guess I'll just have to learn to like them if I wanna catch fish like them men in Mississippi. (shrug)
And don't make me make Wannabe schmack you with his wife's purse. I hear he can raise a pump knot that a pelican can perch on with that thing.
Hahaha, those are the chick rods! Reeeeal purty!
sweet rods aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
You thought the MS. stood for Mississippi? That's classic!
Now you meatheads shouldn't call a bro out like that. They are kinda cute though. Just go and get you some rod wraps and a can of safety yellow spray paint to spray the tips and they will look just right. I would recommend reading up on what to buy before diving in next time.
I had only limited funds to play with to get into spider rigging. These were on sale. They are ugly as can be, but they catch fish. Not many at this point, but I'm still learning.
I can't wait to try them pulling cranks this summer.
Some dont really like it but Im all bout it....really addictive!!
Just to be clear Bigger, do you mean crankbaiting, spider rigging or the frilly girly stuff is addictive?Quote:

I see you even got some of that purty Orange feshing line as well!!! It's sooooo cute
I wish I could find more of it or recall what brand it was. It matches my punkin pie jigs so well. erm.... I mean, How about them Dawgs!?Quote:

The guy at the reel place here in town said he had the perfect reels 3 months ago, but sent all the "Dora the Explorer" reels to some banker in Grenada, MS.:eek:
BTW, I actually use Zebco 33's on my rods. work great for Trolling jigs and Pulling cranks. I do have some of the I THINK Zebco 11's on my Jig poles cause I wanted a lightweight reel on it?
Get the Okumas for crankbaiting and some cheap baitcasters for spider rigging. I don't mean the mini reels neither.
Skip the Zebco 33s though, that's just low rent.
The Okumas are black and everyone knows that black goes with anything.

If you're gonna be trolling, go with baitcasters. You can get Okuma line counters as cheap as any baitcaster, may as well just use those. They are heavy, but they just sit in a rack most of the time. I bought 6 for pullin' cranks, put them on my spider riggin poles this fall, and really like it. When the fish are deep, it's real easy to just drop down till the counter reads 28' or whatever, rather than having to pull off line and count to get the same depth.
and saves money WB. 18 bucks vs atleast 60 bucks each
Maybe that Banker will give me a floating loan that I can pay back when I have extra money. LOL
You ever date a cheap woman DD? They ain't cheap in the end.
Got 2 Okumas coming for Christmas. $25 each.

I would have mentioned pulling double duty with the Okumas, but I haven't tried that yet. Seems they'd be bulky, but I knew you, Sat and Bigger were doing it. If I try these two and like 'em, I may retire the baitcasters.

Yep WB, I am using LINE COUNTER reels for my deep trollin and cranks. But I still have my CHEAP mini reels for regular trollin. Only thing is I am gonna have to build a bigger rack to carry all these poles. LOL
I obviously ain't doin something right. You guys are definitely going to have to give me an education one day.
Was kinda thinking about making something that had Velcro on it so it'd attach to my Bimini top that's laid down to the back of the boat. Is a royal pain with a double jig setup on each rod cause the jigs come aloose and get tangled with the other rods
That is the lowest price I have seen yet. Wonder what they get for shipping. Even in the 4 packs on ebay and other places they are about $34.00.
I don't like a spin cast. I prefer a spinning reel but these Okumas seem like a good choice for spider rigging and pulling cranks.
I'm using a fly reel for jigging (dipping in the weeds).
Dicks has a shimano IX spinning reel for like $15.00. Not sure how good it is, although the shimanos are preferred by our local reel repair guy. He's also said that he's repaired a few of the Okumas and same issue with all of them. Some cast gear breaks in two. Anyone had that problem?
I'm open to all suggestions. Even spin casters. I might ahve to get one and try it again.
That is a good price, I may get a few more. Got my others from Franksgreatoutdoors.com for $29. Cheapest baitcaster I've been able to find is a Zebco at Grizzly for $22. If you want to go with spinning, Monks crappie has pinnacle spinning reels for Around $10 each, I have 8 of them and they work fine.
I think shipping on 2 was like $7. That outfit is like a Mom and Pop store I gather. My wife ordered only one by mistake, then another on a seperate order, realized it the next day, then called and a person answered the phone and when she said she placed an order on the phone - the lady said "Oh yeah, you're Is, I was about to call you and see if you wanted me to combine the orders to save on shipping. Seem like awful good folks....course, I haven't gotten the reels yet, but I assume they've arrived and are hidden somewhere in the house. Shhh though....I'm not supposed to know.
As far as storage goes DD, here's what I do with double rigs - weight in the middle. Let out enough line to wrap the bottom jig around the reel seat, join the two jigs, take up the slack, but not so much to put a bow in the rod - it helps to craddle the weight close to the rod by hand. Then, while standing, put the rod butt down on the floor, grab the line half way up the rod and spin the rod. This will wrap the line on both ends as you twirl the rod. When it starts to get tight, hang the loose end in your fingers over one of the eyes.
By doing it this way, it holds all of the line tight to the rod so it can't tangle and when you pick it up to fish with it, you can grab the line in the middle, reverse twirl the rod and rig it. This method does not make you unwrap the line on the last few eyes which can be a pain.
Hard to describe, easier to show you in person.

but for some reason 1 of my jigs always comes aloose and gets tangled up with another rod. Even put duct tape on them one time and that was a royal pain to get off. Guess when you have 8 trolling poles form 10-16 foot long PLUS 2 10 foot jig poles in the boat at the same time. I'm gonna fool around with a couple ideas and see what I can come up with. Sat has got a great setup on his, but with the Bimini top on mine, just won't work for me
Olebiggun, a member here, got me hooked on using them little velcro ties
made for computer cables... about 3/8" wide and 4" long. He got a whole
roll of em at an office supply place and gave me part of em. Will hold whatever - weights to rod, bundle of rod tips together, and you can just stick em around the base of the rod holder when you take em off the rod.
The do work.Quote:
