They all did. Quite easily I might add. A couple even sent an 'actual' new product. Still an unnecessary PIA A-Jay

I have a new one ~ Purchasing a "New" reel from a vendor on line, only to receive an "Open Box". Meaning not factory sealed. (Mostly Daiwa & Shimano reels) Many of them show up missing items, haphazardly repackaged, or are an obvious demo or return. Last one I got had dog hair in it - like I don't already have enough ! Really irks me. Happened several times to me the past few years. Returned EVERY ONE, along with a scathing note/review. And no vendor, large or small seems immune. List, describe & yes, sell your demo's, damaged & returned items accurately. Not as New, because they certainly are Not. Finally, someone is accepting these things, because vendors keep shipping them. Please stop with the selling & the accepting. That is all. Rant over. A-Jay

Thanks I appreciate it ~ Been so long since I've been in a commercial gym, I actually don't remember what it's like. Trained for many years exclusively in gyms at military installations. Different deal. Hope you can find a way to get back into it. A-Jay

Total Body Workout #3 ~ Plenty of warm up sets and 2 solid working sets of 7 exercises. 460 lb Rack Pull was the best so far this year, but it's early yet. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Yup ~ They like the Andrus Jetty Caster too ~ A-Jay

I do use a few of the soft plastics that feature a 'built in scent', The Strike King line of tubes, craws etc, in particular. Plenty of success with them but I don't really ever attribute much of that to 'the scent'. Back up a few years (ok decades) the Original PowerBait seemed like a game changer for me. Power Worms caught me a ton of green bass back in the day and I did feel the 'scent' played a role in that. Still use them and still believe. Fast forward to present day, (and for the past several years) regardless of whatever soft plastic bait (and almost every bait for that matter), I'm throwing, @Bobby Uhrig Megastrike gets slathered on each and every one. You can figure out why. Finally Maxscent seems to be the real deal. That Flat worm is really nothing special to look at, profile & action seems like the 52 thousand other baits out there. But MAN, does it get bites. Almost as good as Junebug. YMMV A-Jay

No Concerns. Many folks use FC for ice fishing. A-Jay

OK so I watched this entire video ~ while I'm not familiar with Mr Welcher, I do agree with almost everything in this clip, almost. The idea of a 'system' is right up my alley. He provides a ton of very good, experienced based information here that most anyone, especially those bassheads not super experienced with this subject, could benefit from. And long before this young man came to be, and way before youtube, some us already had this figured out. During my personal journey down treble hook road, I came to favor the EWG hook. Simply because from Michigan to Mexico, I rarely lose fish. If I had, I'd of found something else. So yes, I like the design & function of them and this is where my confidence lies. Is the EWG the end all, best treble ever, probably not. But the beauty of it all is we all get to choose to go with what we like. A-Jay

Admittedly Probably no reason to expect anything less and it has a likelihood of getting worse before it gets better. A-Jay
