We always owe the fish some respect.

Happy fishing!

I agree!


With the amount of PLASTICS being used in today's market.... more and more being left in the water.

Why people cant see the "Connection" too it and "regular" plastic garbage is beyond me (They both made from the same thing).


I personally believe the "BIO PLASTICS" is a bunch of BS (marketing Crap).

Hopefully, most of the plastics will stay in peoples TACKLE BOXES accumulating DUST (as always)

*SMILES*

Nothing like having 1000 different varieties, colours and styles - sitting doing nothing in your tray.
The waste of money alone, keeps me away from too many of these things.



TREAT the PLASTICS just like GARBAGE and THROW them AWAY PROPERLY!

Blair,

You've been saying that you only use a few type of plastics. Would you be willing to share which types you use? Thanks. I would really appreciate it and I am sure the other guys/girls would too. Thanks.

Oh. REMEMBER THROW AWAY OUR PLASTICS! (Or melt them and make more, I do!!!!!)

I been saving mine up to make some kinda deformed alien creature from the abyss.......lol. Really, that's my plan. I just hope it won't scare off the fish.......lol.

I was WAITING specifically for you to ask (Seriously).

My pleasure:



Firstly, let's get it out in the open that NO ONE WAY or SET UP is perfect.

Everyone has their own preferences, styles, conditions.... To each their own right?



So, most of my personal fishing experience is based on: 7ft med action rod, Spin Reel and 8 lb mono
Different times of the year, species etc. will of course change things .. but in general here are my five:



1. PINKIES (plastic worms 3"-5")

- I like the "Berkleys" but find them outragiously priced! $7-8 bucks for a pack of 10

- I use a brand called Lucky Lady (Buy them at 25 a pack off ebay - 2 packs with shipping =$7) lasts me a whole season.

- Mainly for Trout, but have found: Bass, Perch, Walleye, Pike ... FRIGGIN ANYTHING will hit em!



2. Berkley Minnow (3"-5" Black & White - PERIOD)

- Not the Green, Not the Blue... Not the rest! Just simple Black & White (I think thats the smelt pattern)

- Good for Trout, Bass, Pike, Walleye, panfish


*Interesting fact: Around Christmas the Steelies down in the Niagara Whirpool will seem to "Switch" to hitting these. Not that Roe or other offerings dont work. but down in the pool I have seen this "transition" at it's most prevalent.



3. MR TWISTER WHITE GRUB

- Killer.... many makers out there, but just the plain simple white with a tail. Absolute KILLER

- Screw all the other colours! lol waste of money.


4. One pack of Senko's or Slammers ( I really dont use them that much!)

- I have dark colours for these and in the 5"-6" range


5. Now that you got me "Thinking" (Responding) .... I guess I really dont "Vouch" for anything else!



- Having an artificial CrayFish or Frog would be an "exception".



This is based on my 40+ of fishing experience and my own Frugullness! lol
I said it before and I'll share my opinion again:


1. Live bait is best, if you have it and can use it

2. Hard Baits - you only need (3) : Spiinner, Spoon and an old fashioned "Rapala")

3. Too many choices typically lead to "Fishing Confusion"



Best advice is this: ALWAYS, ALWAYS ... ALWAYS see what other people are landing their fish with! Some days if only one fish is caught then I call it a "One Off"...
But in general, you would be a FOOL not to use what is catching the fish.

Thanks Blair! I've been holding back waiting for you offer it up or another person to ask, glad I did not wait! I'm guessing the Pinkies are pink, correct me if I am wrong. I use mainly a watermelon top with a white bottom senko with 6 in a pack for 2$ (durable as hell probably cause the bait isn't that soft), a watermelon pumpkin seed craw, and a minnow in the same colour. I bought a packet of the Berkley Power Grubs in White and find that carp, sunfish, bass and catfish love this and they are as durable as hell! I got a few grubs and some floating tail worms for shakey head jigs.
