What Do The Numbers Mean On Certain Baits?
Controlled to a large degree by the angler. It is important to note that the nomenclature does not include the plastic diving lip length. oe

Gliss Monotex Line ~ A Brief Review
Your suggestion is a valid work-around to a noted short-coming. It's the short-comings I'm looking for in product reviews. On the strength of several reviews (yours' included), I'm trying two different diameters of this line and hope that it has more durability that NanoFil which it sounds very similar to. oe

Your "go To" Rig For Soft Plastics?
Draggin' head... it's a weighted wide-gap hook that is not widely distributed. It works through rock and weed beds well. oe

How To Get A Rod Out Of Its Stapled Rod Tube?
I'm curious... was your rod shipped with a cord or thin strap tied tightly around the reel seat threads and the other end of the cord/strap stapled into the tube end cap short enough that the rod tip couldn't reach the other end of the tube? If not, it should have been. oe

Tying Directly?
One problem with using a snap is the tendency NOT to retie your bait often enough, but fear not... when you loose a good fish put the blame on a bad batch of line! oe

Braided Line To Bait
I've snapped far too many spinnerbaits off tied to a leader... these days pretty much everything except spinnerbaits are attached via a monofilament of some description. oe

What Do You Think Is The Absolute Most Effective Popper?
As SirSnook implied above... it is more about where the angler places the bait and how he works it than about which bait is being used. oe

Fish Slime
Removing the slime from one side of the fish as can happen when laying the fish on the boat deck to unhook or measure will create a situation of more water resistance on the slime-less side and force the fish to swim in a circle. Please send all inquiries about my mountain top Florida cottage to my personal message account! Thanks you. oe

New Video: How To Fish A Senko!
Glenn... watched your Senko fishing video and take exception to one statement. My understanding of fluorocarbon line is that it doesn't absorb water. This attribute of fluorocarbon lines contributes to greater strength vs. nylon line. oe

Gliss Monotex Line ~ A Brief Review
When I fished NanoFil (for 2 1/2 years) I saw significant gains in casting distance with spinning reels, but no increased distance with casting reels. Just wondering if Gliss offered the same results in casting distance with each type of reel. oe

Gliss Monotex Line ~ A Brief Review
When using this Gliss line on bait casting reels, are you seeing the same increase in casting distance over PE lines that you see when spooled on spinning reels. oe

Gliss Monotex Line ~ A Brief Review
Diameter claims have been hard to nail down... I'd like to know how the Gliss 8lb and 12lb line compares to original fused Fireline in 6lb and 10lb. Nanofil's biggest fault is its lack of shock strength... how is the shock strength of the smaller diameter Gliss lines? oe
