Caught my first REAL bass..and review of frogs!

[promeetheeus]

i have not had that problem..but, i have only had it a few days..
i just cast it up the shore line, and reel it back slow but steady..it gives a BIG wavy wake of water as it comes up the side..looks incredible.

let us know how your luck is with them!

I will keep my eyes on the thread... I thought for sure you were a plant to be honest Prometheeus.

I just got my order in today. It is sort of weird though. The website showed all of the mice with two sections conected with a hinge. My grey mouse has that but the other two are all one piece.

What kind did you get? Seems like there would be more action with the two-pieced mice. But if you used the solid one, then that is good enough for me.

Normally, I wouldn't care too much but at $30 a piece, I'd like to get the model that works better.

Thanks,

Aaron

ther is nothing wrong with keeping an occasional fish or mounting a trophy bass.as long as you throw most of them back it doesn't hurt.

Uh! Fiberglass?

[crankybait]

uh! more expensive?

plus i beleive they are a bit less realistic... i dont think it would give the same effect

[BigHE]

Uh! Bass fishing is an expensive sport. Plus have you ever seen a 30 year old skin mount? I've seen a few. Not too impressive as time passes. You are right, there are crappy fiberglass mounts and there are those that are spectacular. To generalize all fiberglass mounts as not realistic looking, would be incorrect. As far killing the fish, we'll just agree to disagree. "Tight lines and good fishing!"

[crankybait]

just checked the prices... one one site, by the same guy, its 13 per inch on a fiberglass and 10 per inch on skin. so if youve got a 17 inch bass, youd be saving 51 bucks. yeah bass fishing is an expensive sport, but does that eman we have to try to make it more expensive? i tihnk we'd try to save as much as we can...but whatever, we have our differences.
