Berkley Power worms ??
If you're that particular about the color then buy a bunch of 4" ones and cut the front off of half of them and glue the cut part onto the front of the non-cut ones and you can get a 7" version. Mend-it or some other soft bait glue would work the best. I still think you're making too much out of the specific color. Venom glue works good for me.

Ramp Rules
All the docks at my ramps have signs that say "No fishing from dock" And of course they are all covered with people with numerous lines in the water blocking everything. I dont know what to say to these irritating people because I was at on time boatless too. Do yall have this problem?

Rod tip replacement...expected changes?
I cant say what It will do but you should take advantage of this by using a super high quality one that might help youre casting distance. Jannsnetcraft has a good selection.

Chompers Football Jig!
Its true what they say about these jigs and rocks. I use them around rocks and rip rap and they seem to not get hung up as much as other football heads Ive used.

Dilemma
If I was you I would go to lowes or home depot and get one of them garden wagons.They look like a regular wagon except yellow with inflatable tires (like on a lawnmower) They roll over rough terrain with ease.I have one and I load it with 200 LB.s of fertilizer and it pulls easily.
