Congrats on the new addition,I've had one of those myself and it supplied me with many good memories. And by the way 30lb thrust will be fine,that's what I had and it pushed us very well

Swimbait threads will no longer be neccesary.
Nor do you have to use that 7' plus heavy rod for your "tube" swimbait, any ordinary rod will work

AVERAGE RODS AND REELS?
Rooster, I was looking at that combo last week and it is on the christmas wish list. I hope Santa takes the hints I've left. As always thanks for the input -John

AVERAGE RODS AND REELS?
Catt, thanks for your honest input I agree with everything you said. I also go for feel hence the small surplus of BPS rods I love the "power hump". But I am feeling the urge to get something new!

AVERAGE RODS AND REELS?
Ok with all the recent posts like what's in your locker and what should I get for x-mas or what to use for some particular lure or technique got me thinking. So on my last four days off, I did an inventory with one of my boys..We found that 8 out of 9 of my high end BC rods are med hvy fast action 6', and only three were 6'6". Also found that the paired reels were all in the 5.3:1 or 5.6:1 ratios only one was higher, but all are lure type specific to me. Alright enough rambling... main question is what is with the extra long rods and burner type reels is it a matter of long casting and working buzzbaits? Or is it much more in depth! WHAT AM I MISSING ? My high end collection although it may be a few years older goes like this BPS (2)BNX66MHT/citica ci201 (2)SG60MHT/curado 100 (1)TSP66MHT/lexica lx100 (2)BNX60MHT/Diawa triforce 153i (1)Gloomis gl2/chromica cm200 (1)Gloomis gl3/Quantum KVD ARE MY RIGS SIMPLY OUTDATED IF THEY ARE I WILL NEED TO KNOW APPROX. 7 TO 10 DAYS BEFORE DEC.25!!!!!!!!!

Jig fishing in Stained water WHAT color
Exactly think about it. (example) 15 foot of water...stained water at that..how well could you detect the difference between black,blue,green,or red? Now take that same scenario and add the senses of smell and sound. Which way would you be able to "find" a lure better? I realize colors do matter but to what extent? Note: I am not trying to start something, I am mearly stating my opinion and asking for you to walk a mile in the bass' shoes!

I like to use snaps on cranks,topwaters and snaps with swivels on anything that may roll or twist like rooster tails or Wobblehead worms.

Lilly pad lures
Might I suggest a Weed Demon? Although I haven't heard much about them around here I really like them for "thick stuff"..Yeah they may look cheap but they do hook up well..And they stock 'em in Walmart so their easily attainable. Only thing I do out of the box is sharpen the hooks and add a couple glass beads for noise.

favorite "walk tha dog" top water bait
My favorites for "ease" of walking are the spooks and spook pups, But I also think that the Weed Demon is another bait that will walk and glide across any slop you can find. I got turned on to this bait by a coworker 7 or 8 years ago and it has continued to be good for me.
