as far as the weigh bag, find a good tarp company near you give them your dimensions that you would like. Most tarp companies make boat tarps so they know how to sew a good weigh bag. That's what I did. The ole man charged me 15 buck, 5 years ago. Still using and it doesn't leak. Why bass fishing is so expensive is because people buy that expensive [censored].

Honestly there are products for every budget out there. I ahve one of those $20 bags with the zipper top. It has lasted me 6-7 years so far, has blown out of boat while trailering and been ran over but still does not leak and looks great. Works even better. I figure $2.50-3.00 per year of use is what its cost me so far and getting cheaper daily. Money well spent. Here is a great tip that no one thought of. Get a bag, run it over with a car because that will make it "Work even better"
How come I keep catching small fish when every product I buy is supposed to catch more and bigger fish?

I use to use a brick and a rope, but now I am considering spending $2k on an anchor. Wait now apparently I need two of them to catch these little green fish.... LOl right.... very interesting everyone's opinion... Everything costs more these days. I'd rather spend it on fishing than most anything else. Agree.... every time i am about to put some money in something i think and say mmm maybe is better if i buy something for fishing and not that Bluetooth door opener. I think a lot of people see it as a status symbol too, Agree...expensive equipment better fisherman you will think....sometimes that doesn't happen As American's we are addicted to China products and saving ourselves a buck. They are still made in china but they price them as if they were made in american by a guy with a PhD cause it is an addiction, and like other addictions they can crank up the price, cause we WILL pay for it True had fun reading this and i guess i will have to buy that freaking $30 fish bag.

Cause a lot guys think if I don't buy this I won't catch fish or I can't catch fish cause I don't have that , a lot of the stuff is a ginmick to lure in those guys, there's a lot who say I can't catch fish cause I don't have power poles , so they get it stuck in there head I'm not catching fish cause I don't have power poles, so they go out and buy 4000$ in power poles and still can't catch fish then it's oh cause I don't have a 12" graph etc

Well said Ranger21! But - we do feel better when we do it, and sometimes reap the reward of more fish. Then, we throw them back in the water and go on our way. What's up with this?
