[QUOTE="dyeguy1212, post: 189254, member: 1460"] Funny you say that. That's what I tired pretty heavily last spring, with not much to show for it. I learned to bass fish with lipless cranks, and last year just wasn't a lipless crank season around here. Not sure why. I jumped on the 'ol bandwagon this time last year and got a bunch of redeye shads after the Classic and BPS put them on sale. Even got a 7'4 launcher to go with them, but the fish weren't having it. The lake I grew up fishing always responds well to firetiger baits, from little jigs for bluegill to 3/4 oz spinnerbaits for pike. For what ever reason, bass refused to hit my firetiger redeye shad last spring. I really hope this year is different. I took 4th in a tournament fishing open water with soft plastics, and I got a ton of bites that day. I can't imagine what would have happened if they were biting something I could really cover water with. I picked up a couple of the silent redeye shads in bluegill color this winter. I'm pretty confident they'll work. I also got a new 5.1:1 reel, so hopefully slowing down my retrieve will give me some results. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Otherwise, I'm putting my my crankbaits on ebay.. :roll: [/QUOTE]
