Rod Sleeve Design
Try turning the sleeve back into itself a couple of inches. Offers some room between the sleeve and the bait. Also, lure wraps are super helpful. Kastking makes a good one. A-Jay

Going Shallow for Summertime Bass
I will go shallow when the bass are feeding shallow. Doesn't mean I always get them, but it does seems my odds of success go up a bit. Shallow for me is anything less than 15 ft depending on water clarity. Later summer sees me in stupid skinny water, 4 feet sometimes. Not a place many bassheads hunt trophy brown bass on Lake Menderchuck. Accordingly, I've has some very memorable mornings doing it. Fish Hard A-Jay https://youtu.be/sITpRNLz_04?feature=shared

Do you rely on Intuition?
I think intuition and situational awareness go hand in hand. Seems hard for me to have any of one without at least that much of the other. Been fortune in that living with a small pack of high prey drive dogs, has helped me belive in them and myself. Regardless of whether I actually "see" something or not. There's s a feeling that always needs to at the very least, be investigated. Hard to explain but it's definitely part of my existence. I also believe age can help a person get better at this. Finally, If you don't think 'women's Intuition' is real, you're only fooling yourself. A-Jay

Changing a floater to a suspender
I use 4's EWG on most standard size baits, like 110's. Split rings a size 3 Owner Hyper wire. I can get away with it because the trebles are short shank. Also #3 oval split ring line tie. For the Jr. Size baits, I change stock 8's to short shank ewg 6's and rings are 2's. In most instances, especially with Megabass, those changes alone turn the suspender into a slow sink. Often a bite getter for me. A-Jay

Working to Stay Lean ~
After a couple of off days on the water, I was back in the home gym for Workout Day 2. This one was special as it marked my 65th successful trip around the sun. Let's keep that going for as long as possible. #borninfiftynine https://youtu.be/12KSRhOxF1I?feature=shared A-Jay

Elite series Lake Champlain
I'm working on some Ike Mute software. Using facial recognition, every time his mug appears on my PC, the volume automatically cuts completely out until he's gone. I'll let you know once I work out a few bugs. Seems the high pitch of his voice is similar to a screech owl. 🤓 A-Jay

A Pro Angler Voices Concerns About FFS
I do not have or even been on a rig with FFS. I am of the mind set of let's wait and see. This forum has something like 75k registered members and I bet there's at least 10x that lurking in the shadows. At some point in the not too distance future, those of us who have been part of this amazing journey for a few decades, will IMO no doubt recognize a change. The level of significance of this change has yet to be determined. However if and when the reports thread, and the lastest picture thread starts blowing up with pages upon pages of posts depicting Giant after Giant bass, being landed by folks with little to no bass fishing experience, that might convinc me that this FFS phase of fishing, is anything more than just that. Talented anglers will continue to succeed while others will continue to struggle; with or with out FFS. Perhaps I'm just in denial, but over the course of the decades I've been at this, countless deals dubbed the next big thing, have ended up just being a thing. Now after all that, I going fishing.
