What’s the Worst You’ve Ever Backlashed a Baitcaster?
this one didn't happen to me but the guy in the back of the boat that decided to try and use my rig. we were fishing a tourney on Toho when he wanted to see if he could try my worm rig. well he picked it up and made 1 horrible cast that blew up the reel as deep as I've ever seen. he looked at me and said "well I guess that does it". I never fished with him again. we were in the same club for over 20 years ,how we never drew each other all that time was a miracle.

your favorite fishing-related hack
it protects the plastic from throwing in heavy grass.Keeps it from ripping off the hook.

your favorite fishing-related hack
I use tire valve caps for going in front of my soft plastics when weightless. I drill a teeny hole in it and just slide it out in front of the bait. The ones that Dodge uses are a little longer so I can cover the head of the bait better. Saves on the plastic screw type that I have used for years. Did I mention we have 2 shops that changes over 75 tires a week ?
