Hi Dako, they are both fiberglass blanks that are more flexible then graphite. Both are fine for still fishing with live bait and watching your rod top for bites…God bless you.
Make sure to check the fishing videos on our Italo Labignan YouTube channel and if you have any questions just email them to me at Ask Italo throughout our www.canadian-sportfishing.com website.

Hi Alex, I have not fished that section of the French River but I know that in the section you will be staying at there is good structure along the shorelines and in Sept. the Smallmouth Bass should be in the 5-10′ depth of the shoreline structure. I would suggest that if you have good weather you try casting top-water lures like the Rapala X-Rap Pop and work it on the surface and also cast #4 Vibrax spinners and fish 1/8 & 1/4oz jigheads with 3″ paddle-tail minnows like the Mr. Twister Sassy Shad in pearl/black back. I have a feeling for the walleye you will do better trolling a worm harness on a 1oz bottom walking weight and a nightcrawler right along the bottom. Hope you have good weather and an excellent trip…God bless you.

Hi Kota, every Rapala lure is designed uniquely. It may be difficult for you to find another model that will produce for you like the Rattlin Fat Rap. My suggestion is that you search the web like eBay, Kajiji, and even Amazon to see if you can find the size and color that was your favorite….God bless you.

Hi Steven, Canal Lake can produce some good bass, pike and panfish. Most people fish the shallower water and stumps and can waste a lot of time trying to find a fish here or there. I would encourage you to try jigging the weeds where they meet the open-water with a 3″ paddle-tail grub/ 1/4 oz jighead. Try and fish as close to the weeds as possible. You can also try twitching a Rapala Husky Jerk in the same areas…God bless you.

Hi George, great question. My strategy whether I’m fishing Largemouth Bass either from a kayak or a boat is based much on the time of day. Largemouth bass tend to do most of their cruising early and late in the da searching for prey. If I fish early I fish areas just off weeds and fish quickly either casting a spinnerbait, a crankbait, or a twitch-bait. If I am fishing later in the day I know that largemouth’s like to sit under cover to ambush prey. That cover could be “slop” (up-rooted aquatic vegetation), that has been dislodged by the wind/waves and stacked up to form a “matt”, “blow-down” (shoreline trees that have fallen in the water), or dense areas of lily pads, or dense areas of weeds like coontail or milfoil where they are sitting in pockets inside the thick weeds. In that case my go-to presentation is fishing a Texas-rigged plastic worm or a flippin’jig. I fish slower and try and hit any sport where I think a largemouth might be holding under….God bless you.

Hi Rob, thank you for your kind words and glad you have been enjoying out TV shows and videos. Congrats on getting your new boat. I’ll help you save fuel costs so you don’t have to search for Chinook Salmon near you. Fish just below the mouth of the Garden River where it flows in the back-channel of the St. Mary’s. The Chinooks stack-up there on their way up the Garden River. The water depth is about 20′. You can keep your boat in forward just to stay neutral to the current and use downriggers 10-25′ down with wobbling body baits to get them to strike. You don’t need a long lead out from the cannon ball, maybe 5-10′, the current will provide all the lure action…God bless you.

Hi Susan, Upper Buckhorn has some excellent bass fishing. I have only done well fishing Musky around Fox Island. My best bass success has been fishing the docks and shorelines north of Scottsman’s Point on both shorelines. There are several rock shoals that are marked on the eastern shoreline near McIllmoy Point and I have also done well fihsing around docks and concrete wall just south of there at the RV park. I would simply fish a 3″ black twister-tail grub on a 1/4 oz jighead and cast it to open pockets on the rocks in-between the weeds and around docks…God bless you.

Hi Angler,
I am partial to using a short-shank hook like an Octopus when using small worms, corn or small cheese balls for trout. I would use a #12 Raven Specialist hook.
God bless you,
Italo
