Painting jig heads with nail polish
I tried the nail polish on jig heads and rods. The heat and humidity ended up melting and made it gooey. I've had better results with auto exterior spray paint, along with scratch repair paint.

metanium vs core
I like the 50's preferably, so core/chronarch/curado-50/70 size for me unless I need more line and higher gear ratio

Tackle Warehouse vs. Gander Mountain?
You are better off asking locals to try out their stuff if your goal is to Buy-Try-Return. Returns is very low on my purchasing list.

If it takes "10,000 hours to master something"...
I don't count, I just fish. The 10,000hr mastery is silly.

need help guessing weight of wifes fish
I don't follow those calculators, if i calculated my one 5.1lb bass I caught that was 24" it would be 8lbs . The estimations from the calculator are a somewhat silly most of the times. I wouldnt doubt the formula was make by someone thats fish always got bigger every time he would tell the story. I agree, in the ballpark of 7, yet it has an empty stomach
