Lookin' good!

I have found senkos that were waterlogged and about double their normal size, but that's after a looooong period of time they've been in the water. Lay 'em out on some newspaper in a dry place...like @J Francho said, they'll soon be dry. Anyhoo, welcome to the forums, Fguy. Interesting first and second post on wet worms...

Welcome aboard!

LOL!!! Welcome back, Hootie! That's a hilarious story

Welcome aboard! You could use the combo you have for a lot of techniques including TX rigs, larger-worm wacky rigs, jigs, and so forth. As for a new rig, it seems your only missing a ML combo for smallies.

Welcome aboard, Tyler! My son uses a Lexa 100 and gets a lot of good use out of it. Plenty good for all freshwater needs. The 400 is a big reel, fine for salt, and probably hunting musky. Oversized for bass, IMO, but if it suits you, fine. If I were to get another today, I'd also look at the Tatula lineup...

I can really tell a difference in reel stability between my Shimanos and Daiwa that do not have the fully integrated handle. Thus I use Stradics from FI to CI4+

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard! Congrats on the PB, and you'll learn quickly being here, having a scale is utmost necessity!

Hm. I use both. If heavy weeds/cover, buried, typically. If light/moderate grassy, texposed. Also depends on pound test of line.

Yeah. Truly pitiful... In other news, sales of paper bags soaring in Cleveland.

First post with a thread revival! Welcome aboard!

And so it seems Jimmy wanted the trade even though the Pats were willing to pay him. https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/10/30/jimmy-garoppolo-trade-patriots-49ers

Wow. Jimmy G to 49ers! Jay Ajayi to Eagles - the best get a solid RB

Welcome aboard!

Looks awesome! Nice framework, and end result! Oh, nice bass, too

I use plastic storage boxes, gallon zip locs and label the overflow of stuff on those bags. Hard lures are in lure boxes. Stuff I use is in a Plano guide box with most commonly used soft plastics in the top compartments, terminal tackle in a small box, divided up with labels for hook size and so on. Z-Man plastics are in their own bags in the bottom section along with spinner baits, scales, line, etc.

If I had to go no fluoro or braid and to only a mono line, I'd probably go back to Trilene XL... Was easiest to deal with on my spinning gear, never used on casting, though. However, since copoly is a choice, that's where I'd go. Specifically Yo-Zuri Hybrid and P-Line Floroclear.

She's a beaut! Congrats!

I use a 15lb Boga myself and love it. Also have a cheap luggage scale attached to a lip gripper. Works extremely well, too, but can't get wet or it's toast. Got it based on a post here, in fact. Do a search here in the forums and you'll find a LOT of posts on this very topic.

Welcome aboard! I've used a number of different brands including Owner, Hyabusa, BPS, and others...I always come back to the Gamakatsu Split/Drop shot hooks. I've not broken any Owners, but have broken both BPS and Hyabusa, fwiw. Go to size is 1/0, but use #4, #2, #1, and 2/0 as well.

Welcome aboard! This year, standout has been the Z-Man TRD on a Ned Rig. In second place, Yamamoto Shad Shape Worm on a drop.

Woo hoo! Even though I knew better I kept clicking on the bookmark. This time, reward!

Welcome aboard!

I wish they could get actors who actually know how to use the equipment, LOL!
