Confidence Rods and Reels?
I want the peace of mind in knowing that my reel, rod, line, hooks, & bait are of the highest quality available that's why I buy what I buy.

which one to choose
It is my understanding that the nationally advertised Stratos 176XT $13,495 comes only with only a Yamaha 50TLR; this is according to their web site. The Tracker 175TXW $14,365 also comes standard with a Mercury 50ELPTO Both are underpowered by 25 HP; any upgrade in HP will be at an upgraded price Xpress offers an SV18 Bass with a Yamaha 90TLR for $14,995; this includes a Humminbird Piranha Max 215 w/ Swivel Mount Graph & MinnKota 40 Edge Trolling Motor The Tracker or Stratos will not handle rough water better than the Xpress

Topwater question....deep thoughts at 1am.
Plastic Worm (Texas rigged) It's a long, thin shape resembles the profile of a wide variety of forage in the world of the bass, including earthworms, snakes, eels, and baitfish. Its action is almost entirely dependent on the contours of the bottom; and the rod movements of the fisherman, making it very random. It moves with little noise; the noise that it does make comes mostly from the random clicking of the sinker as it hits bottom. Bright colors and larger size can be used to increase its attracting qualities. Because of its basic resemblance to a wide array of living forage, this lure presents very few negative cues, and is hard for big bass to learn not to hit. Doug Hannon

Did you have another hobby besides fishing?
Who would have pictured Glenn was a pyrotechnician? My kids say my hobby is causing hate and discontent

Topwater question....deep thoughts at 1am.
Sound good but I don't buy a word if it cause if you do you would have to admit a bass is capable of deductive reasoning. Explain why clear and bone white are so productive top water colors? Explain why watermelon is so productive when fishing Hydrilla & Milfoil? Explain why black is so productive at night?

Under what conditions would you KEEP a bass?
That my friend is the key, each body of water is different, and the selective harvesting should be done under a biologist supervision.
