  1. Welcome aboard! I spool all of my reels with braid for mainline now because it is so much easier to manage than the monos/fluoros/copolys of the world. I always tie a leader of fluoro or copoly in varying pound test based on how I'm fishing at the time. That said, even braid can get hit with wind knots. Just make sure you are always closing the bail by hand. There's one other thing that I saw recently, and maybe one of the folks here can point to it... But the angle of the reel and the first guide can be an issue. Guys, please help me here, I can't remember all the details. @Delaware Valley Tackle, @J Francho?
  2. Excellent catch! Congrats!
  3. Welcome aboard, Nate!
  4. Welcome aboard!

  8. Since you're standing, a shorter rod may indeed help out with the twitching needed to walk the frog.
  9. I didn't see your post, but kudos on the apology. We all make mistakes, so consider it water under the bridge...

  14. Good luck, Mike. Tough position to be in, I know, I was in a similar IT management position back in the 90s with men over twice my age as my subordinates. Humility and respect on your part will go a long way toward making things smooth. But don't be intimidated by their age, either. Respect it, and stand firm in your position as supervisor, but don't lord it over them. You probably don't know as much as them, and don't be afraid to lean on/learn from their expertise. Again, a tough spot to be in, but one that will make you wiser and teach you a lot about yourself. Just be ready to learn

    Happy B, happy bass!
  16. Welcome aboard! Agree with @A-Jay, tough to pinpoint something at that price for a specific technique. But I will recommend this rod: Berkley Lighting Rod Shock - M, spinning Solid rod for the money. Will serve you well.
  17. Great stuff, Blue!
  18. D triple A NG!!!
  19. Welcome aboard, Julius! No clue about Rays Town lake, sorry. Maybe provide some more detail about it, and yourself, like what techniques you use, your gear, and so on.
  20. Welcome aboard! Yes, sometimes I pre-tie a rig the night before. There are even drop shot rigs you can buy that are "pre-rigged" and all you need to add is the worm. I don't carry many rods with me anymore, I keep one wacky rigged setup, and one or two other setups for either drop shot or Texas rigging.
  21. Senko Wacky rigged or.... Gary Yamamoto Shad Shaped Worm Drop shot
  22. And welcome again!
  23. Sorry, can't help you with your question as I've no knowledge of those motors. So I'll just welcome you to the forums!
  24. Sweet catch, and glad you're back on the marine carpet capturing our finned friends.
  25. Welcome aboard! I'm sure someone in your neck of the woods will chime in soon enough.
