Well, Tatsu really isn't designed for this application. It's more for crankbaits, Texas rigs, and finesse tactics. I'd switch to InvizX, which is an all-purpose line with great abrasion resistance. And you don't need to treat it with kit gloves.

Here ya go!

Fishing in the wind can be challenging—or it can be one of the best fishing days of your life! Here's how wind affects bass and how to use it to your advantage to catch more fish.

A couple of videos:

I had tennis elbow from casting too hard. For nearly 3 years I wore one of these things below every time I went fishing, plus took some time off fishing, to finally heal it. Like others have said, ease up on the spool tension and educate your thumb more. He could likely outcast you if he did. https://www.amazon.com/Sleeve-Tendonitis-Counterforce-Support-Forearm/dp/B01H2123YU/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=ENGNWJ7ZTAXE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.tabK7z4-Nwq5kqRcP11McXCfXrmNW6dxasAkDGpJNzPCQbobKjmC1J13HSfQ32EyYr6Z4HgxrcmOjIHE1a9d1GmuJqVP3m8BkhGqTbqKg_x5G-BSkQidbgcgGv2fvOtkxIkfXykixG-6PJp1V-GocLcivSsSHRaZRIm0vtwradJlAojdR791TPgC8-lbrq19d_eRdyMAr0Iz6jkzyNMoxtpqJSZVKLn-e3EOmXFj2XrngMaPoDiTx3W7RYH6U9a_3hp7cXnzIIw48BcEz27bAVsWnYUhlrZw32uoNq1GHnk.3dqjCsEp3AXTDdTBZ_a9Oih_MhT5xPUBvYP1KjsMNA0&dib_tag=se&keywords=tennis%2Belbow%2Bbrace%2Bfor%2Bmen&qid=1750561256&sprefix=tennis%2Belbow%2Bbrace%2Bfor%2Bmen%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

No, that's not what I was referring to. That's a retailer that sells Simms. This is what I'm talking about:

Winners Announced!!

There's a lot of Simm's discount/clearance sites advertising on Facebook - they're all scams. I know because I'm in direct contact with Simms on a regular basis, and all their sales are on their ONLY website. They don't have separate clearance sites, or stores for that matter - they don't have any stores, and some of these ads are "store closing sale!" (there's no such thing). It's an issue they've been trying to address, but it's like whack-a-mole.

Yikes! A good day to mow the lawn, eh? The DeepDive app shows real-time weather, including wind speed and direction, along with a TON of other fishing info! https://bit.ly/41RXthz

The only thing better than the look is the performance! Suzuki Marine https://bit.ly/3JwENtp

Here's a comprehensive video about chatterbaits:

Dive deep into the intricacies of summer bass fishing with Gerald Swindle. Uncover the misconception that summer patterns revolve only around deep waters and big plugs. Learn how varying geographies, from river vegetation-driven habitats to deep-water lakes, dictate the bass's comfort zones. Learn where bass go in summer and catch more fish.

Just like the "overwhelming" need for a cooking forum section all it's own? Y'all can't even keep a cooking thread going, despite a claimed interest in wanting a separate forum. How about trying to keep a BFS thread going? I bet you'll try at first, but it will wane. I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but after 3 decades of running this place, I've seen a thing or two. I learned years ago making too many sub-forums destroys it. You end up with a lot of dead forums with no activity. We already have too many. I'm going to remove the Fishing Resumes section this winter for this reason. Same thing with having dozens of stickies. We already have too many of those. They push all the active threads to the next page, which kills those discussions. I'll be auditing those soon.

MTB/CatchCo/Karls is bankrupt. They didn't even pay back some of their debts, including their debt to Bassresource. MTB was the first company, then they formed CatchCo as the parent, and then created Karls. Then the CEO spun off BioSpawn and other ventures, sold his part of CatchCo and left the fishing industry, and then everything collapsed. btw, Monster Bass has tumbled far down the same path. If they're not bankrupt yet, they will be. They've been circling the drain for quite some time. These are just the latest casualties from the decline of the monthly boxed tackle subscription concept. There were several other predecessors such as FishHound that are long gone.

I use WeatherBug, which has a lightening alert. I also use weather.com app, Windy, and DeepDive. Combined, I can get a pretty good picture, hour-by-hour. That said, NWS accuracy is declining, unfortunately. So learn the cloud types and their meaning. I've been doing that since I was a kid, and it hasn't failed me yet.

Yup, I have a couple of videos about this topic. Hope they help!

They caught him.
