Costa Sunglasses "Green lens vs. Silver mirror?"
Green Lens is the best lense for every day, driving, and inshore fishing. People who are used to the blue lens fines that the green lens lets in to much light.. You can wear the green lens longer in your day since the blue is darker. If your saying the silver lens lets in more light than the green I personallly wouldn't want them.. I find the greens perfect. Make every thing look way better. Definitely get 580g i did plenty of research before my purchase and talked to a costa rep .

Old school rubber skirts
KVD line & Lure does wonders against the skirt sticking.. Only problem I have is the solid white will turn a slightly off white.. But still catches fish..
-
Old school rubber skirts
Im throwing rubber 98% of the time.. For some reason that's what works best for me where I live...when talking about spinnerbaits If it's not a Humdinger or Rumba Doll I'm probably not throwing it

Spinnerbait and Fluke recommendations.
Fishing shallow? 3-4 foot with plenty of structure? You can't beat Humdinger spinnerbaits 1/4 oz chartreuse white and blue skirt . The skirts are made of rubber.. All white and chartreuse and white are also good colors.. No affiliation with humdinger they just flat out catch fish all year long and are cheap

Flipping/pitching rod action
I prefer my Punching rod to be heavy or XH Mod-Fast but texas rigs with 1/4 oz or less weight I prefer fast. With that being said I fish with guys that prefer the opposite of me... Like you fellas sad its all about personal preference... @Mosster47 I am 99% sure that bubs punch rod is MOD-Fast.. I should have bought that one but at the time I went with a 7'6" instead of the Bubs 7'11''

falcon bucoo trap caster
I have one... Very versatile rod... Has more of a parabolic bend.. I think the best use for it is traps and square bills...

Storm Arashi Silent Square Bill 5 on Sale
Lol I bought some on sale at academy ..Since I never used them I bought the same colors i use to catch fish when fishing with a kVD 1.5 or bandit.. So far I haven't caught a fish on the arashi.. I have cut the arashi off and put a 1.5 on the same color and caught fish... Pretty much killed my confidence... Let us know if you have better luck!
