Berkley Vanish
I've been using it lately on a dropshot rig and have had no breakoffs.I like it.

Berkley rods at Wal-Mart
I use several Lightning Rods,and they are great for the price.I've been using them for 10+ years or more.

Most effective Rapala
The Shad Rap and DT series are outstanding,but I've caught more with an original floater in silver w/black back than any other hardbait.

how to fish creature baits
I too usually use them as a flippin' bait,but they can be used in many ways.I've fished them like a T-rigged worm,C-rigged,weightless,and on a dropshot.

I've caught 'em with both,but I've had more bites on the Senko.

pegging bullet weights
I peg with a toothpick using a lead bullet weight.Have no probs,and if I lose one it's no big deal.If you are so concerned about losing a $1.00 weight,use lead or don't peg.Please everybody,no sermons on the evils of using lead.I've heard 'em all.

Your Worst Fishing Injury
I fell in my boat once because of some really rough water.I tried to catch my fall as I hit the floor and broke two fingers.

solid body toads/ hollow body frogs
Horney Toad type bauts can be used in many different ways(as I'm sure you all know).I use them mainly as a buzzbait but will dead stik it when I come to an open pocket in the grass.I also use then as c-baits,and plastic j-baits.I pitch 'em,flip 'em,and use on c-rigs.They're very versitile.

Snagging alot of Limbs
A T-rgged worm ought to cure you problems.Are you setting the hook when you feel some of the limbs?
-
high winds
I prefer a nice ripple,but I'll go when the winds are howling.I've actually had some of my best outings when it's windy as hail.I like throwing a spinner bait into cover on a windy bank.Caught some nice 3-7 pouders like that.Also like prop bauis,buzz baits,and throwing a shallow c-bait on a windy stump flat.I'll aso pitch tubes and creature baits into cover on windy banks.

Question for boaters
Several years ago my wife fished with me 100% of the time,but she got tired of getting up so early in the morning and/or night fishing.Now,I'd say that I fish 80% of the time alone and 20% of the time with my 16 year old son.He likes it,but he is a sleepy head. I fish out of a renovated 16 ft Terry bass boat with a 25 HP Yamaha.

Some thoughts on Bass Fishing
I like to use the newer techniques,and I do catch fish using them.However,I usually go with what I have confidence in.I like to go fishing and use baits that have passed the test of time as far as being fish catchers.Using the dropshot,shakey head,and other finese presentations is exciting and fun,but I catch most of my fish on tried and true baits that have been catching 'em for decades.Although I don't limit myself to these baits,I've caught more bass on a silver/black back Rapala Original floater and a plain ole black plastic worm fished Texas style.

NBA Lottery
Yeah,we've won quite a few, but the last time was when Larry Bird played.As for luck,I was referring to our lack of it in the lottery .

ammusing boat ramp incident...
I never did anything like that(too poor),but I can remember some loading goof ups when I first started.I'll bet everybody within eyesight got a good laugh or two.It just takes a little experience and a little advice.
