Pit Boss or Sweet Beaver?
When I'm punching I use the Beaver exclusively. It's compact enough and rigged with a skirt, it has the right amount of action for me. For me, there are better choices than either one of those for t-rigging. Mike

Mono, braid or braid+flouro leader for wacky rigging?
Just don't get all the passionate negative vibes against useing straight flouro. (That would be for a different thread) Anyway, to answer the question... 14# flouro on baitcasting setup. Mike

30# braid or 16# flouro depending on cover. Mike

Baby brush hog vs. Rage craw
If had to pick one of your choices for a t-rig it would be the Rage Craw. Now the standard sized Brush Hog is a whole different matter. Mike

Soft Plastic colors
Junebug or Black and Blue is always my first choice down here. When fishing in clearer lakes farther north then I'll grab a Green Pumpkin. Mike

Do craw colors really matter?
I only use a craw when punching matt's and I really don't think it matters much at all. I'm convinced that the size and action are more critical. Mike

top water bait wrist pain
I get the same..As an ex bowler I used an old wrist support band that I had and it really helps. Tip..If you decide to try it, don't wait until it starts hurting to put it on. Mike

Do we have a fishing superstition thread?
Here are some Ive heard over the years Never step onto a boat with your left foot... If you catch a fish on your first cast, go home... Never, Ever whistle when fishing... Always spit on your lure for luck... Never fish with a red headed woman... Either throw back your first catch or kiss it... Me...Always wear or bring the hat I had on when I caught my personal best. (And 2 from above) Mike

Is p-line any good?
The only P-Line product I use is 20# Flouroclear spooled on an older BPS Extreme reel. No complaints. Mike

New curado I
I really like mine. I use it on my spinnerbait/chatterbait combo with 12# Yo Zuri and won't be changing. I have 2 brakes on and the dial on 2 and unless I throw into a stiff wind, don't pay attention or don't adjust, it just won't backlash on me. However, I don't cast with an over the shoulder bomb cast either. Most of my casting with those baits are target orientated where I use an underhand roll cast the majority of the time. Mike
