Do you pond hop with more than one combo?
In a wooded environment I carry one, in an open environment three. I take a small bag with 3500 boxes with the lures/plastics for that particular body of water, time of year, or water color. I use a 3 rod carrier for open bank areas, I don't like laying my gear on the ground. If I just have an hour or two, one combo and a few baits. Brian.

the horrors of hiring people.
I own a Pub. I've had Women come in to an interview with their boyfriend/husband in tow. I wouldn't even interview them because if she can't be out of their sight to take a job interview, what's going to happen when they're around a bunch of men who've been drinking. Brian.

So What is "Backwards" in Your Life These Days?
Same here. Hunted the four corners of the earth and was able to do things most only dream of. About 8 years ago I completely lost the ability to kill anything. So now I just fish. Brian.

Dissecting the hunting Fogy bladed jig
I get the same action using a Kalin Scrub. I get a consistent hunting action with constant blade action. I also get the exact same impact markings on the head. The continuous darting action is phenomenal. Brian.

What he said, plus, I used one a bunch this winter for jigging Lipless. It worked very well for this. Brian.

Zillion21 vs Lew's Lites
Amen. I find it odd that people think it's a sign of manhood to have their brake dial number as low as possible. My Bud will over run his spool every cast so he can say "I only have my dial set to 1". I'd bump it to whatever to not have to worry about it. Brian.

you buy any high ticket items and not use it?
My Wife just had to have a cabin in the woods. We got one and it's great. Used it 3-4 times a week from spring to fall the year we purchased it. Used it 3 times the last 2 years. Brian.

Is There A Way to Make A Standard Baitcast Spool To A Shallow Spool?
Purchase an aftermarket shallow spool, done. Brian.

What's your favorite all around monofilament weight (for casting setups)?
.008"-.020", varies by the conditions, areas, depths, expected size of fish and lures I'm fishing. I use .012"/12lb. on my "grab and out the door combo". Brian.

have you ever wondered why?
Different strokes I guess. I know you're a fan of Suffix Advanced Mono, I on the other hand, am not. I really liked it at first, low stretch, slick, manageable, but after a few weeks it became stiff, brittle, opaque and rough. I tried a few spools with the same result with all. Might be the waters I fish, don't know. I do know, I've lost all faith in it. I read constantly the issues guys are having with the 20 Metanium. I have 5, never ever an issue with any of them and they're fished hard. That doesn't mean guys don't have issues, it just means I haven't. Brian.

Anniversary Gift
My Wife, gorgeous as all get out, wouldn't know a rod from a tomato stake. Happy Anniversary. Brian.

Why do I struggle to find and catch fish?
I've experienced this from both sides. Fishing Okeechobee 2 years ago I was flat out hammering them on a Lipless. My Bud couldn't buy a bite. I gave him my bait, he switched from Braid to Fluoro, changed reel ratio, and still wasn't catching anything. A few years ago on the Susquehanna I couldn't buy a bite throwing the same Spinnerbait my Bud was throwing and I was getting first cast at everything. I know he out fished me 10-1. Probably the most frustrating day I've ever spent on the water. I finally started throwing a Stick Bait. Brian.
