Non Conventional rigs

[Mr Special]

I know I should have atleast 4 rods on an out, but I only have two that I really like using. Alot of times I fish with a snap swivel at the end of my main line for easy changing between jig and cranks.

Now what ya think of me making Texas, Carolina, and drop shooting rigs, snelled up on a barrel swivel for easy changing? Or am I on to another bad idea.

Thanks everyone

Hmmmmm
I go with different rods, because each presentation requires a little different rod. (At least for my tastes)
T-Rig I use a fairly heavy rod.
Carolina I use a little more forgiving rod and a little longer.
I have never drop-shotted so not sure what I would do there.

[Mr Special]

Thanks Biglakeba$$,

I told ya it was Unconventional. Hey,BLB you know BigMike, Ebass and Bill-E-Bass right? if so we'll all have to hook up sometimes.

Thanks again

Yeah just another one of your bad idea's. You could do that with a Carolina rig since you have to have a swivel and a weight about it anyway. I would not do it with Texas rigs. I direct so the weight can go over or to the top of the plastic. I don't do a lot of drop shoting but I don't think you want any more areas for line to break. The more knots and terminal tackle you use the greater the chance of breaking.

The only people I've really met in person from FM have Ebass, Daze Off, Dan Wood, & Hawgtide. They are all great guys and I've loved fishing with each of them. As for BLB, bill-e, Tonka boy, etc... I know them informally through FM & email and hope to meet them in person sometime soon.

I too am wondering just when we are all going to be able to meet for an outing. We've had a friendly "smallie magnet tourney" on the 'sippi in the workings since the end of last summer - this summer we'll get it put together.

BigLake - man am I jealous about your opener. I had a great week on Pool 2 a few weeks back and I only had about 15 - 20 NICE bass in a day and my thumb was shredded. Did you have to tape it up?

[Mr Special]

Yes, we'll all have to hook up. Now that Ebass is a Prostaffer, we'll let him do all the planning and thinking.

the only thing I don't like about bass fishing is. It's **** hard to hold a cold beer while pitching plastic.

Oh and IronMike will have to come too. He's supposed to be good at bassfishing.
We could have a friendly wager or something. And only used cranks and topwater baits.

The lake would have to be Tonka

Topwaters... Tonka... Bass... NICE!

Ok, so what was this whole thread about again - I feel like there should be a thread for miscellaneous whatevers that some of these threads produce. LOL.

Back to Topwaters...Tonka...Bass...

[Mark Christianson]

Well, I very informally know those yahoos, but I would like to figure out when the heck we could all get together.

[Bill-E-Bazz]

Maybe in two weeks as Ebass and I have that week off. Maybe tonka? I only use 3 rods but like Mr. Special I really use two of them. I need to go get another spinning set up and then I should be set, but as Ebass says you can never have enough rods,reels, and tackle.

Good Fishin'...
