6 of 11! Dude that's pretty dang good! Ya gonna lose some & that number will go down with experience!

That's how ya kick bass!

That's interesting ? All I can say is keep Chunking-n-reeling-n-setting hook! Frog fishing is exciting, exhilarating, irritating, aggravating all at the time.

Bass are always feeding somewhere...our job to find somewhere!

Spring & fall...to many bozos on the water!

Mustad Straight Shank Round Bend! 3/0 Wire dia. .052 in Gap 17 mm 4/0 Wire dia .056in Gap 18.7 mm 5/0 Wire dia 0.06in Gap 20.4 mm Not light wire but not a punch hook either. The "gap" is the measurement from the hook point to the shank.

Dog days (nights) of summer & dead of winter.

Mustad Needle Point, no cutting or tearing takes place.

My personal preference ?

For 35+ yrs i used a Calcutta 100A with 9.5 lbs max drag, I had it set at 6 lbs. My Lew's have 20+ lbs max drag, still set at 6 lbs. Never had the drag slip on the hook set & not very many turned more than a couple spool revolution. In the heavy cover down here when you set hook, you better turn that head, get it coming up, & towards you...all in one motion. Had a few tighteyes fly over my head or skied back to the boat.

Y'all know ya did it!

Neither ? Once they turn Pro I quit watching

This was my next suggestion, I bought some Stanley Hand Tied Punch Skirts.

My grandpa broke me of chewing tobacco when I was about 10. I thought it was cool to take a bite out of this!

From April through October I do not fish during the day except for a couple hours before dark & a couple after daylight. Like daylight I'm more concerned with with weather patterns than moon phase. Weather will keep me off the lake, moon phase...not!

When I say I night fish, I'll fish every moon phase possible. After 50+ years of record keeping no phase has an advantage.

Every Dollar General round here has em, they even have all chocolate.

K.I.S.S. ? Casting is going to be your biggest challenge & @PhishLI covered that pretty well. Kick Bass

One thing I would try is what we call a Texas Rigged Jig. Similar to a Punch Rig just lighter. Throw with a worm, creature, or craw worm. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/BOSS_Weed_Eater_Punch_Head_3pk/descpage-BOSSWDE.html

Dollar General ?
