Excellent job on your video! That's a pretty darn good deal when the bass actually coperrate for a change. Must say those were a couple beautiful ladies.

what size is the corky float andwere do you find them?

Great information nicely presented.

Any thoughts after a couple years of use? Thinking about pulling the trigger on one!

What pfd do you use. I have this yak and cant find one that dont interfere with the high back seat

Man this is one of the worse video's i ever watched a 4yr old child would probably set up like you that is if nobody was there to give advice

Peston, Where did you go?

What size of lil corky

Thanks for the video! How long is it when broken down in the flannel sleeve?

I got skunked my first time fishing there while my buddy got 3 on some crankbaits. Gotta head back up there tomorrow and i'll give a spinnerbait a try.

Hey man. Have you thrown any frogs in this rod? I’m in a similar boat, but trying to find a frog / heavier end t-rig travel rod.

Great idea for spring season trout look forward to using your technique on stock trout. Thanks mr.James from Providence RI

Thanks for the boat review. I'm a pontoon newbie myself, looking for a good used one in the Medford - Grants Pass area. I got rid of my driftboat when I stopped guiding in 2005, but am looking for something safe and simple to get myself on the water again.

My daughter says the Spark Pro is prettier, case closed. Good video, thanks

Good comparison Preston!!!

Really enjoyed your video. I caught a 25 inch stocked trout this month. Video is on KZbin margyand tomsadventures please subscribe

Hey Preston, You said that the fish are always on the banks towards the end of the video. Given the development that park is gonna go through, would you say that a pier would be pointless to have at Golden Gardens?

Dude, it was cool seeing u up at the ranch If u ever need a co-angler lemme know

Hello, can you tell me the dimensions of the bobbin bearings ? I can't find the information anywhere. Or maybe a link where you can order. I want to put ceramic

As someone who lives in cg and goes to this lake id say u should come down and atleast try and fish it they are bitting way more at night now and last night i caught one 18 inches!

I ordered a spark pro on sale for 38$ to throw on a brand new mojo bass i have kicking around. Hopefully i wont be disappointed, but for the price hard to complain either way

Grab a fly rod and hit Davis lake. Fly fishing only lake that's full of 7, 8, 9, pound bass. My p.b. out of Davis is 12# 7oz. On a fly rod. Born and raised Texan and had to come to Oregon to catch my double digit bass. See ya on the water some day Preston. Tight lines buddy.

Did the second section have what looked like a hole in the top ferule? The bottom section on mine looked like it was plugged. But the second section had what looked like a hole in the top of the ferule.

What are those corkies called? Cant find any in that size and color

U can't keep any bass over 15"

Hello, thanks for the video. I have ordered a Dragoon and hope to have it soon. Good tip read on not over tightening the reel seat. Question, can you put several multi piece rods in that travel bag? Thanks again.

You are full of it! Power bait has worked for me for 30 years! My kids and I always limit out on opening day every year. I continue to use it with great results! I am going camping and fishing at a 250 acre lake next week where stock trout are abundant. I have no doubt that I will be able to catch them without issues as I did 2 years ago!

Could you use this rod for drop shot?

Talk a little about the swim baits that you've found success with, and I'll do the same?

Switching from right to left lol I remember my first beer

I'm stuck between the 700c and the 701c. I can't decide. Have you used the 701c ?

This video was epic.!

Nice catch 👌 👏🐟🎣🤙...I gotta ask tho what Handle is on that reel.? Looks good

I put one of them little floats on my line here in Iowa and I didn't catch anything it just scared to trout away because they weren't used to anything like that

Dude I use a 6ft leader here In WA my whole life. Gotta get it up and out of the weeds here in the pnw. They are thick

This same spot, in the last couple hours of a July evening, is frog fishing heaven!

I use a swivel snap like a 3-way and hang a dropshot basically from the snap at leader. You can go weightless and change weights to different sizes based on bait.

There are some monsters in there but they smart. Used to go scuba diving there back in 1972. I did not know how big a trophy bass was. My cousin said "show my fisherman buddy how big the bass that you saw under that big log was" . When I stretched my hands out about two feet the guy's jaw dropped and the next day he was working that tree all day with no luck. Now fish are magnified under water by 30 percent so those bass I saw where probably 18 inches out of the water and probably about 8 lbs. The log is still there. It is in the cove where you make a 180 hairpin left as you drive in from Eugene. There is a chlorox bottle tied to one of the branched to warn water skiers. There are tons of blue gill in that lake so the bass are happy. That lake is fed from an underground spring. You can see the warm water boil up in the winter time. Wherhauser screws it all up with clear cutting and weed killer.

I haven't tried your bait choices (yet), but I've been using your "advanced" rigging for something over 30 years. Before the advent of power baits, we used floating marshmellow bait in white, orange and pink. We also used commercially available "salmon eggs" which were brilliant red. We used treble hooks, though, and the hooks had a wound spring on the shanks. The spring acted as a bait keeper for the marshmellow bait that was a thick paste. If you fish still water lakes and ponds, instead of floating your baits from the bottom, as your two rigs do, use a pencil float and tiny split shot to present the bait from the surface down. In addition to the feel of the bite, you then have the visual clue. I've also had success with the spinners you mentioned but, more than that, I've had some real good days throwing 1/8 Oz Kastmaster and Fiord spoons. Lastly, there are always the guys who ask what a bait is supposed to resemble. Fish, on the whole, are opportunist eaters- they'll eat anything they can. Hatchery-raised planter trout are fed pelletized food (think dog kibble) until they're released into the "wild". They aren't going to find pelletized food they're accustomed to eating and they have no idea what is or isn't edible.

I going to a lake by this name in Oregon to try for some November bass.

Where to buy the corky

That’s good fishing right there. Well done.

I'm new to Trout fishing. Living in SW Oklahoma we only get stocked trout through the winter. This video has given me more insight than all the other videos I've watched. Great content. Definitely rigging up the Carolina rig today.

We miss your Cottage grove videos man...hope all is well

I received a spark pro for my birthday last year and have used it 4 times a week for 35 weeks. It isn't as smooth or quiet as my other reels but it is a great reel. I mostly used it for weightless senkos and lures less than a1/4 oz. It can cast small lures 40-45 yards easily and handles 3-5 lbs bass with no problems. The best thing about this reel is it skips jigs much easier than a 100 size reel.

What size corky is bet for your rig??

It's called a Carolina rig.

Are they good to pan fry?

I am a fellow Eugene Bass Addict, Not sure if you know Seagar Red Label is the same a Cabela's House Fluorocarbon. It is not as expensive

I wonder how deep it is.
