Big-O Arky in 1/4 oz. with a 3X strong Owner Cutting Point in 3/0: http://www.siebertoutdoors.com/index.php/big-o-jigheads

Mine is in my living room. I re-purposed an oak armoire for my tackle storage. There's a few drawers for spools of line and tools, and two stacks of 3700 trays fit perfectly in it.

You can have both in one boat: http://www.wildernesssystems.com/product/index/angling/angling_kayaks/Commander_angler/commander_140_angler

Shimano Bantam oil is probably the best all around oil. I use Cal's Purple Light grease on gears.

LOL, that's so true! I was fishing a tx, and had like 17 lbs. in the well. One of the other guys has two 13" fish on a beam, one shakes off, and fall into the drink. Lots of cussing ensued. We laughed, and yelled over, "having a bad day?" I think we've all had similar days.

I'll say. Flesh that out, and submit it to get published in our articles section. It would be great to get more material from women angers. Here's the submission guidelines: https://www.bassresource.com/fish/article_submission.html

There's actually quite a few of us, and many in the Greater Rochester area. Heck, I grew up in Ontario - Wayne Central Class of '90.

Welcome aboard!

1000 series reels don't have as many drag washers as the 2500. It'll work, especially if you are in the braid with a leader camp. For straight fluoro, a 2500 or 3000 diameter spool helps with line management, and the tighter drag window.

I do just the opposite. Some of my best fish, including my PB smallmouth was caught fishing "in the cone." There is an audible click to some 'ducers. I will sometimes turn mine off when approaching fish in shallow water. Personally, since it's a rhythmic pattern, I don't think bass recognize it. It's sort of like the trolling motor. If you are pulsing it, and randomly on and off it, then you will spook fish. If you come in nice and easy at a constant speed, they don't care.

And that right there is why we need moderators, lol,

I use a 3rd party photo host, like smugmug, photobucket, or even Facebook.

Must be a default setting in the forum software. You can probably just clear your cache, and do some more.

LOL, Siemintel!

I stupidly took mine off while running, and put them in my shirt pocket. I thought I snapped the flap, but I guess not. I leaned over, and "BLOOP!," into the drink....

This point is HUGE. "Winter" to some in the south might be a fleeting window of opportunity in fall to some in the north.

That's the main reason I use RAM and Yakattack accessories - they interchange and fit seamlessly.

The ad says you can specify your hardware. Aren't those Fuji K Alconites, though? Maybe I'm mistaken.

In spring, I like to have a bit of red in the skirt and trailer. Catch a crayfish, and you'll see why.

You can spend your off season accumulating information, but nothing builds confidence like success on the water.

Looks like something you'd display, not fish with.

Interesting, thanks for the links!

Don't knock the 33, man!

I guess I glossed over that, and it does sound contradictory worded that way. What I mean, it's more about the type of power, further down from the tip. A medium power rod, where the load of a fish on is spread out across the entire blank will protect the trebles better than a MH. The XF tip just makes it easier to control the twitch. The rod "settles down" quicker on a faster taper.
