Experience with the Plano 3600 Worm Stowaway?
I had 2 of them. I had 3 of the clips break on me,within a week. I wasnt rough on them. I got them just for neds,zinkers etc. I went back to my binder because it took up less space also.

Hi-Vis braid
Ive been using hi-vis for many years. Mainly, because i can see my line better,(aging eyes). But also as Turkey sandwich talked about in his reply. This past summer ive used hivis yellow(PP) and hivis (GLISS) pink. I didnt notice and difference in catching fish(that im aware of), but that has always been a debatable topic I just have more confidence in it, because i can see it for movement,in the waters i fish. On cloudy days i use the bright pink gliss, with a 2-6ft leader of seaguar leader material, on my finess spinning rods. My baitcasters, are all yellow, with or with out seaguar leader material. Good luck in your search:)

Does anyone use Blakemore Bucktail Pro underspins? I received these as a gift. The store has all sizes and colors for 1.25 each,marked down from 4.98. What are your opinions on these, good or bad. For the price i might invest in more, but wanted to get opinions here first. Thanks for your time everyone...............

Shocked and amazed
I went this past saturday. Very windy,61degrees. I threw my regulars an nothing. I picked up my ned rod, with 10pd powerpro ss line. I caught a 4.10,4.36, and allot of smaller one. I had to fish it extremly slow, but the pbj color was the deal with a 1/16oz jig.

Leader: 100% Floro vs Fluoro Leader
Stick with the actual leader material. Takin the cheap way out may cost you the fish of a lifetime. Dont chance it. I was givin a 2day course of on the water fishing using both. And yes its worth the extra money.

The real cost of restoration
Looks in better condition, than i see people use today. Maybe a good hand washing,with a good cleaner and a wax job would do it. If so id be prepping an redoing the trailer.

Roboworm 3" Ned Worm
Will they last long as zman, no. Will they catch fish yes. Ive cut the 6inch in half on the robos, and had good luck with it. Use as light as weighted jighead as possible is your situation, at that time.

The real cost of restoration
When it comes down to it,its totally your call. I repainted a aluminum boat. I can tell you that to get good results, the time spend in prepping,is well worth the work. As it will show in the final paint job. I was told back then to sand,wire wheel on 2 drills,then wiped clean. I had to put a special primer on before the final paint. Why did i go to all that trouble some asked? Bcause it was my dads old boat.Didnt matter what it cost to me. Its held up wonderfully over the last 15yrs. Minus some scratches etc from use.

What Scales do You Use?
Ive been using this one,but replaced the hook with a lip gripper. Its worked great for me,and spot on accurate.
-
What size Keitech for 1/4 oz swim jig
It really depends on the size of the hook. Actually i use the regular Swing IMPACT 4in, and the Easy shiners on 1/4 oz. They work well and are cheaper. On larger jigs,etc i use 3.8 and 4.8 fat impacts.

Changing hooks on lures, will it affect action
Same here ,but i stick with the same size on jerkbaits.

Neko rig help?
Ive used clear spinnerbait/jig skirt rings before. Alittle small but worked just fine,using the pliers that are used to open up the ring.
