Went to the Hampton, VA store today with one of my sons. Deals...meh. But I did pick up 5 3600 size boxes for $10. I like the BPS boxes. Son picked up a sweet Gerber knife, I picked up some hen hackles for tying jigs. Other than that, was fairly busy, but nothing like I've seen in several years past.

I have fished cranks on MF spinning rods...

That weed guard is part of the reason I make my own now. I feel mine come through cover much better than the very thin stuff Gammy puts on, with no less hookups. And yeah, our reservoirs do get the green snot so bad during certain times of the year. There's also the black crud of death that knots up on your lures in certain areas...TX, jigs, etc.

Agree with @Team9nine, it's a risky conundrum. I was looking for mountain bike parts and some of the best deals for "Shimano" gear came up out of China for paltry $$ compared to US dealers. I passed, too risky for my blood.

If you're on a limited budget, Floroclear is a great option, but beware it is a love it or hate it line on this forum!! I am among the love it people, but I haven't been using it a lot in the past year as I've got so much Yo-Zuri Hybrid laying around. I will use it occasionally now, when I feel like a change, but for the most part today it is between YZ Hybrid and Gamma Edge fluorocarbon. And Floroclear is simply a hybrid line with a fluorocarbon coating, not pure, so won't give the full refraction a true fluoro line will.

For the light linked, it does look interesting, not something I'd probably use. Would opt for YakAttack or other brand, or end up doing a DIY. As for mounting, that light could be DIY mounted if you are so-inclined. Headlamps: Yes and absolutely we use them. I require my son #3 (who during striper season goes out with his buds) to wear one and always pack extra batteries. The drawback that I've experienced is that headlamps, even LED models, can get hot on your head after long periods of use. I've dripped sweat using them in the summer working on projects at night, or in dark spaces (crawl space).

Congrats!

This! Would love to see the same.

Yup, what @Sam said. Pretty much clockwork with the dogwood trees...and the plastics.

I've never used an Ultegra, but my experience with Stradics has been great. I like my FK and love my CI4+. So if it were me, I'd probably opt for the Stradic unless it was just out of my price range, then I'd certainly check the Ultegra. Need to get my hands on one to get a feel of it some day.

Love it! Great work!

Plecos are so cool. I traded a big one in to a pet store for some other fish back when we had aquariums. But talk about an unexpected catch!

I mostly use 2, 1, 1/0 for drop shot. Gammy Split/Drop shot hooks. Their new AM (above) hook is pretty sweet. I've actually bent the hook point out like them on the regular split/drop hooks. Aaron Martens said he would do that (prior to the new hooks) and his hook up percentage shot up. Same for me.

Those that I've encountered in two local reservoirs are usually more shallow than deep, and if I've caught any fish, it has been on soft plastics (wacky rig).
