Loran C was horrible - and Loran A was even worse ! I think I still might even have a few of those little Interpolator cards lying around here somewhere . . . . A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

I believe J's response here is essentially what I do & would do if I fished the bodies of water he mentioned. Unless I was on those waters enough to "stay in tune & able to follow the bait, the fish & the bite around" it may be one of the few ways to find a reasonable level of success. And I am on the water as much as I can - and it does help. (but never seems like enough) Don't do weekend between Memorial Day & Labor Day. A-Jay

Nicely Done ~ Looks like I have plenty to work on this season . . . . A-Jay

I use mapping & electronics to find & select the structure I want to fish On water I'm familiar with, I'll use the best bait to effectively fish the "cover" I've selected on that structure. The place that I think there may be bass. On water's I'm not familiar with, I'll use the electronics & mapping to 'search' for seasonally appropriate structure and then use a "search" bait help find cover. Then I'll fish a bait that matches that situation. Sometimes I'll get bit while I'm looking but more often than not, rather than machine gunning cast out in front and beating the water to a froth, alerting would be toads in the net of my presence, I prefer to hopefully find what they are holding in, on or around in advance. Then select a bait that fits that situation. I'm my mind, the traditional bass fishing methodology of "searching' for bass, is akin to shooting up the woods in front of you while your heading into your stand, hoping to bag that big buck of a life tome - may reduce your chances a little. YMMV. A-Jay

"Slam the throttle and get a decent holeshot" ~ Perhaps take your rig to an authorized Mercury Dealer & have it serviced by humans who actually know what they are doing. Or - you could just keep slamming. A-Jay

I have the 7' ML - it's a very light action stick that I use for drop shot with 4 & 6 pound test. I like it a lot. If I were going to use one of these rods for worms, jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, shallow divers,top water, texas rigged / wacky rigged senkos, I'd get a M or a MH depending on the cover and / line I needed to use.
