Pics of set ups and lures...where did you catch those fish?

What kind of bass is that in the second pic?

I want to call it a small mouth rock bass.

Looks like a smallmouth to me.

I thought it had the coloring of a smallmouth, but the shape looked wrong. I've heard they are a great fighting fish.

Anyone using Gary Yamamoto Baits? AKA: Yamasenko? I love them.

i have too. tons of fish over the yrs. so much so they were a staple in my box for decades.
the problem they have is that far to often the blade lays flat against the body and you gotta give them a quick snap to get them going again. dont let there be even a sliver of grass on the lure or you just wasted a cast
because the quick snap wont work and any fish chasing is now spooked.

i dont have this problem with PantherMartin lures at all. the center pin design wont allow any of this to happen. plus, i can roll a martin 4 inches at a time if i want and the blade rolls every time. impossible with a rooster tail.

Okay, I'm a believer in the center pin.

I picked up some Mepps yesterday. (No Panther Martin available.) I did a head to head test between then and the Roostertails. I would switch back and forth between them while fishing the same pools with the same presentation. The only strikes I got all day were on the Mepps.

Until they are gone, all of my Roostertails (a lot) are relegated to panfish only. Then no more.

oh you gotta try a panther. they are a machine bro.
the mepps arent center pin.

see the difference? the pin actually goes through the blade.
i perfect design. no blade hang ups and not spinning.
