Best dropshot rod around $200
I have 2x AVS63MLXF and 2x AVS63MXF that cover most of my DS needs. I prefer a shorter rod for vertical DS, but the 6-9 version works as well. Mine are all paired with Stradic CI4 reels spooled up with 6# Tatsu.

Favorite bands
Always go back to Three Quartets. Brecker, Gomez, Gadd, and Chick. You can find videos of their reunion in 2003 for Chick's birthday on YouTube, performed at the Blue Note before Brecker passed away. There's a spot in Quartet No.1 where Brecker loses the note, and laughs. Gadd fires him up from behnd the drums, and he proceeds to tear it up on the sax. It's awesome.

Shimano Chronarch from Japan ? I’m shocked
Pinnacle had hand tuned reels five years ago. I have a couple. Depending on the strength of the dollar to the yen, there can be some lag in pricing where JDM versions can be had for a little less than the USDM. Seems like it is cyclical.

The Lingo of Fishing
Thought I lost it, but found it while organizing for spring. That bait and my Popmax are all I really need! Speaking of catch and release, this is a concept most non anglers are baffled by. I mean, when you sink a put, do you take the cup with you?

Fishing Lingo mis-pronunciations
Bream/brim Mustad - pronounced mus-TODD Using in' instead of ing at the end, like: fishin', flippin', pitchin', jiggin', etc. When people replace snag for hook, especiall in newspaper articles, like "He snagged the record bass fishin' with a pole and rubber worm" While we're at it, why is an anchor attached to a rope, and you tie the bow and stern off with lines? Or is it the other way around? Aren't they the same thing? Starbird/starboard - one is the side of a boat, the other from space Peddle, paddle, petal, pedal versions of kayaks Their all crazy things!

Weights busting rod eyes
Just get the hook in the keeper with a tiny bit of slack. Hold the line, and spin the rod a couple times, and loop on the first guide. Problem solved.

Coronavirus
Like the flu, this new virus is contagious before the infected show any symptoms, and at whatever the mortality rate China is reporting (I don't trust them at all), this could be pretty ugly. Experts are saying it's a case of when, not if it hits the rest of the world. It's already considered a pandemic. Like was said before, it's a much more deadly than the flu, and there is no cure for it.
