What to bring?
I would pack a couple less shirts and more tackle.

Scorpion dc or core 51
Scorpion DC of those 2, but why not go with a Chronarch MGL or Bantam?
-
What to bring?
1 3600 box and a bag of plastics? Not enough room in the Prius for anything else? Seems like a limited amount to me.

FC leader to braid for shakey head and TR advice
I use the Alberto or uni to uni. Never had a problem with either. If I were tying a long leader, I would go with the Alberto.

Traveling out of the country
Don't! LOL. Seriously, the last time I did was 21 years ago. Things have changed a lot since 9/11 so I don't have any advice for leaving the country. I have only flown within the states since then.

Best multispecies fisherman?
Linder or Dahlberg were the first to come to mind, but this would be very hard to narrow down a list of a few.

Working to Stay Lean ~
I'm 6'1" and 230 lbs, I wish I could get to about 200. You guys who maintain a great weight amaze me. I am so busy with coaching and raising kids that are 13, 10, 9, and 8 years old and playing games literally all of the time, I can't work out or avoid fast food. At least my wife still loves me

OKLAHOMA HEAT
Tell me about it. We had a fire today in a hay pasture. I was in my bunker gear for about 25 min straight fighting fire. Doesn't seem long, but wearing all that it was. Was out there about 3 hrs total. Too stinkin hot for fighting fire. LOL

Rods
Something is definitely wrong. The rod can handle that just fine. Braid might be too light, but I would start with spool tension and then brakes.

Shimano or Daiwa?
I have owned a ton of both brands. High end (Steez, Antares) to low end (Tatula, Citica) and EVERYONE of them have been excellent. You cannot go wrong with either.

Hollow body vs solid body paddle tail swimbaits?
For me, if I am going to use a jig head and want a slow fall I will use a hollow body. If I want to get it deep with a jig head I will use a solid body. If I want a subsurface I will use a solid body on a T rig with a 1/16 oz pegged weight.

Post a photo a day!
Got home late last night from the USSSA 10u Southern Nationals tournament. Ended up 5th out of 35 teams. Proud of them for making it that far. My oldest was selected as an MVP of one of their games so she has qualified to play in the Texas All State games in August.
