New to bass fishing. Looking for lures to start with
Sounds like money is not an option. Therefore, I would buy a ton of stuff.
-
Rod sleeves and Reel covers
I use the rod glove ones that are $4.99 at TW and I use the TW low profile reel covers.

Help me set up combos....
20 Met on 734 - Bottom contact Tat on HMG - Cranks MGL on 703 - Single hook moving baits SLX on SLX - Topwater

Cross eye chatterbaits snaps
He didn't.
-
Snap swivel selection
Owner hyper welds for me.
-
Too early to change last years line?
If the line was good when you put them away, nothing should have changed.
-
Medium power rod for chatterbaits
If losing fish is your idea of fun, I say have at it.

Monster Storm Brewing
^^^^Sad stuff right there. Wildfires are tough to fight here in the flat lands of Oklahoma, can't imagine what it would be like there.

Tell someone you care about them
I don't have Facebook, but my Mom sent me a screenshot of a post where one of my best friends from high school qualified for a Crossfit deal. He went through some real tough times in his life (drug addiction) and finally got clean. I hadn't talked to him in a while so I just sent him a text and told him I was proud of him and so happy to see the man he has become. The response I got brought me to tears. So, think about someone you know who might need a text or message that just says you care about them and are proud of them, you never know.

Curado MGL 150 or Chronarch MGL?
I don't have a Curado 150 MGL, but I will agree with the above poster, the Chronarch didn't fit my hand well. The nose is too long for me.

New Shimano Expride
I would NEVER order anything on backorder from TW. I did ONCE, and I learned my lesson. That being said, it's more than likely not their fault. They get told a date from a manufacturer and they put it on their site. Then they are informed it has changed, so they change it.

Nice rod pairing for Curado 200k?
Expride 7'2 MH

Time to buy JDM
I don't know about Daiwa, but Shimano reels have Japan stamped on them on the underside of the reel. At least my Bantams did.

Road construction/dig season
I worked many accidents along road ways and I was always making sure I was well aware of oncoming traffic and would make sure I got out of THEIR way and didn't count on them to get out of MY way. I see these guys all the time almost stepping out in traffic, I suppose assuming the other person is paying attention. I do not give the average driver that much credit. I would hate to work on or near busy highways daily. Way too many idiots on the road.

Favorite shimano baitcaster?
I don't know, I tell my kids all the time, it depends on the day on which one I like best. LOL

REDCREST 2022 ~ Grand Lake O' The Cherokees
You have to have a lot of hate for someone or something to not think that right there is exciting.

Lane is going to make it interesting.

Best topwater/buzz bait rod - no limit on price- what’s your pick?
I'm partial to Shimano, so I would love to use the new Expride 6'10" MH for said technique.

If You Were A GOAT
Nope, big difference though in needing to win to survive as opposed to winning just gives you more money. Some guys had financial backing to give it a go and were successful, while there are hundreds of guys who tried it and failed. There is no way I would take a chance, no matter how good I thought I was.

Starlink internet
I live out in the middle of the sticks. We have tried every internet available I think. We have found nothing that works for all 6 of us. The last few months we have had 4 hotspots in our house that we are paying $320 a month for. Last year, around Jan or so we signed up for Starlink. We got our equipment today and set it up outside (not permanent) just to see how it performs. I ran a speed test using my T-Mobile hotspot and my download speed was 1.76 Mbps, I then ran it after connecting to Starlink and it ran 26 Mbps. My son is gettin 39 Mbps on his PS4. If you live in an area and have to rely on satellite or mobile data, I would strongly consider Starlink. *I am NOT paid by Elon Musk (but if he would like to send me money, I will accept it) LOL

Is Skeet just using that color crankbait because it matches his outfit, which match his boat, which match his rods and reels. LOL

Mental health issues?
I have some mental health issues that seem to be getting worse as I get older. I am experiencing more anxiety than when I was younger. As a teacher, I have a hard time teaching some days because I feel like crawling in a hole. But, I have to do my job. I feel the same with coaching. I also, don't fish near as much as I did. Mainly because I am spending more time with my family, but also because sometimes it doesn't seem worth the effort. I tried meds and never could find one that didn't have some side effect that made it just not worth it. I am also very OCD and like for everything to be organized and neat and that too seems to be getting worse. Now, I have a serious career decision to make, which isn't making anything better. LOL
