I grew up on the Louisiana/Texas Gulf Coast. I fished from Brownville Texas to Panama City Florida & out 135 miles. I've fished numerous saltwater tournaments both inshore & offshore. I worked as Deck Hand & First Mate. Working on a Charter Fishing Boat someone has to clean all fish, wanna guess who! I got tired of the smell of fish guts, diesel fuel, & even the smell of saltwater. Being a Cajun during the 50s & 60s everything was a food source including bass. Bass fishing down here for me was a simple choice because they are so plentiful. I got into tournament fishing during the 70s on Toledo Bend & Sam Rayburn. I fished with guys called the Hemphill Gang. Exactly 😉

3D printers use a digital model to create a physical object by adding material layer by layer. There are numerous useful things you can create with a 3D printer. From household items like coasters, door handles, and wall hooks to more complex items such as musical instruments, camera gear, and even prosthetics. You can also print educational tools like anatomical models or geographical maps.

Why? Cause I wanna 😉

That's possible

Y'all Kick Bass 😉

Problem solved My grandson Evan reminded me he has a 3D printer.

For this dumb Coonass there's more to it than just sensitivity. Ergonomics, it has to feel comfortable with a reel attached & a lure hanging off of it. The more exposed rod at the reel seat is a huge plus. You cannot run fast enough to give me a rod with EVA grips. I can not explain why but can not get comfortable with any Dobyns. As for G. Loomis, in my hands my Kistler Helium is just as sensitive. My worm rod is a $99 Powell Inferno, below is the reel seat.

1972 I bought my first Fenwick Lunkerstik, I would feel like i'm going backwards.

Both 😉

Moved from Abu Gracia to Shimano.

My wife recently started making bracelets, necklaces, ect with beads. She had been buying storages boxes from Wally World & Hobby Lobby. They're cheap knockoffs of a Plano 3700. Yesterday I bought her four H2O 3700 boxes. My question, is the anyway possible to purchase additional dividers?

Totally depends on the body of water & time of year. What I throw on Toledo Bend is different than what I throw in a marsh or on a bayou/river. Minimum 5 setups regardless of the body water. Once dailed in I quite often have multiple setups with variations of the same baits.

5+ for spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, & crankbaits 6.8 & 7.5 for everything else I throw a Calcutta for years that are 5.8:1

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak! Like @TOXIC I used to fish 150-200+ days a year. A tournament day was from first light until dark thirty. During summer months that can be 14+ hours. With 3 ruptured disc those says are long gone. The desire is still there, the knowledge is the there, the body isn't.

I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was! Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.

Let me explain it this way! I could put any high end reel on any high end rod, spool it with braid for maximum sensitivity, tie on a Texas rig & then give it to my wife. She could not "feel" any difference if I had rigged it up on a Berkley Lightening rod! Why? Cause what is transmitted up the line, down the rod, through the hands will be lost in the brain. She doesn't fish & would not be able to interpret what she is feeling. Even for the average angler a certain amount of "sensitivity" is lost in the brain.

Lew's which uses a combination of internal and external brake settings.

Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5000 (red) Heddon Mark Special Purpose #6271 5 1/2' MH Fiberglass with a cast aluminum reel seat & handle. Total weight about 2# plus! I started tournament fishing with only one setup.

Until you get slack in your line, then ya got nuthin.

C'est Fini 😉 Sensitive has 4 elements: Line, rod, hands, & brain. The absolute most essential element is the brain, interpretation of what's going on with our lure.

There's a video of P.D. Vinson handing me the keys to the truck. It was strictly ceremonial, I had the truck sold & the check was in my wallet.

@MN Fisher My English grades in school were impeccable but my teacher said I don't practice it.

I'll purposely misspell words in memory of @Long Mike

Y'all need to catch up 😉
