Baby = reduced sleep, lol.

Where are my pants?

House cat. This is bobcat: Also a bobcat:

I was speaking about musky rods. Inshore rods are generally about the same as bass rods with full grips, just higher power. I've set quite a few people with inshore spinning rods for use frogging for people that for whatever reason needed to use spinning. A 5000 series reel handles 40-50# braid well. I recommend a reel with a full aluminum frame.

Got engaged, my oldest son got engaged, had a son, found out I'll have a granddaughter in March, got a ton of things done to the house, 2020 was pretty good.

This is literally all you need to know.

That ceiling seems a little off

I like this rod so much, I have two of them The MXF version is good too, and I have a pair of them as well.,

Buy her some shoes then, and keep the rods.

How many pairs of shoes is she getting rid of?

What's wrong with overlapping? I have over 50 rods, usually only use one tenth at a time. Works for me!

You mean like the 6'3" MLXF I used to catch this, and around 50 others that day?

Redeye = Coosa (Micropterus Coosae)?

That frame and thumb bar screams early 90s to me.

I don't envy your situation. How about a PODS? We did that when my fiancé sold her house. It was less than movers, and allowed us to pack and unpack in a much less stressful timeframe.

Karman Ghia station wagon. Rear engine - puts new meaning to junk in the trunk!

I do not know or recall any casting reel made in my lifetime that was left/right convertible.

The length keeps the line off the water for less mending.

It's not for me, but it should work just fine. I like a similar length (6-6.5) rod for jerkbaits. It would probably work for topwaters, like spooks and poppers as well as throwing spinnerbaits to close targets.

It's not a requirement to have a ML, but I do like using my two ML rods when appropriate. I'd say they get used around half the time I'm smallie fishing. Most baits can be thrown on M power tackle. If you get into deep, vertical drop shot fishing, a ML/XF stick will serve you well.

It's a hot topic.

You cannot find anything because this information shared was totally false.

Many target smallies in current using the same gear.

Yep, that's short, lol. I start at 11', and have a 13' and 15' rigs for mudsharks.
