Yes they are.

Can I buy a bulk order of soft plastic and resell them
Not likely, and you can't do it here for sure.

Berkley The General
Walmart cleared them out for $2.57 a pack a while back. Not sure how many packs I have, but it's a lot. I'd already fished them and knew they were good, wasn't passing on them for that price.

New 6th Sense Axis Squarebill?
It has crazy action, wobbles back and forth 6-8 inches. haven't used it a ton but it was impressive. Doesn't dive nearly as deep as it looks like it would either.

Line for buzzbaits
It would work, wouldn't be my first choice though.

Favorite T-Rig Worm Hook ?
They work great for me. This is how I buy them, 100pk at a time for $14.55 a pack for a 4/0. I put them on my swingheads also. https://www.captainhookswarehouse.com/products/el098bp

Good Bass Fishing in Missouri?
NW you've got lakes like Mozingo, Bilby Ranch, Happy Holler, Pony Express, Cameron Reservoirs, Paho, Bethany, Smithville, Poosey, lots of little lakes scattered around with good fishing.

Abu Garcia promax 3 or Daiwa Fuego CT
Yeah this isn't even close, Fuego by a lot.

Ultimate frog rod (lightweight)
I really like the Falcon Bucoo I've been using, it's a 7' 4" H/F. IDK the weight, but it balances well, launches a frog, has a shorter handle to make walking a frog easy, and has plenty of backbone to hammer the hooks home and drag them out.

Midwest Finesse Jig Head Mold
I'd use the same Eagle Claw I use in the #2 (use to be the Lil' Nasty but I think they just call it a 500BP now). Glad Do-It heard the cries and came out with production molds in the different sizes. So much nicer to make them 6 at a time now instead of 1. Bad thing is now I need to buy the 1/8oz one also for my small swimbaits and grubs.

Summer jerkbaits
Yup, big and fast is the name of the game.

Walking Heddon Spook Puppy
Spinning rod and 8lb test, even 6lb if you're comfortable with it. I have one with the paint almost completely beat off of it from fishing creeks and catching so many fish on it.

Funny Random Encounters
Walking a creek a few weeks ago I had a doe jump out of the brush next to the creek, in one bound she was at my feet and I thought going to run right into me. Thankfully she cut up the creek and back into the brush. I said a lot of words I can't repeat here. If she'd have just stayed still, I'd have never known she was there.

Topwater Bite
Been catching them on topwater since early April here. Our water temps are in the high 70's/low 80's now.

Picking up a new casting rod for TR
I have that rod, I use it for spinnerbaits. It's got a good amount of backbone. I fish a lot of bigger spinnerbaits (1/2oz is about as small as I go, up to 1.5oz), and it handles those fine and drives the hooks home with authority.

suspending vs. slow-rise jerkbaits
Pick one, I've got all of them. Personal favorites are Neo Pearl, Violet Gill, and Matte Chartreuse. A couple others that I don't think they make anymore so won't bother listing them.

Shout Out To Megabass Dark Sleeper
These are the blanks I picked up. One of these days I'll remember to actually fish them ?
-
suspending vs. slow-rise jerkbaits
I fish a Duo Rozante 77 all year long, it's a very slow riser. During the cold water periods, a very slow sinker is better for me than a true suspending bait.

Bait Cast Reel Sizes You Use Most ?
Mine are mostly in the 150-200 size. The smaller sized reels are too small for me to comfortably hold for a long time with the 100 size being the smallest size I can really fish all day. My hands start to hurt after a while of trying to grip a 70 or 50 sized reel though.
