MH/F as go-to rod but for St.C would that be M/F?
Back when I had St Croix Premiers and only carried 1 Baitcasting/1 Spinning rod for bank fishing, I liked their mediums. Purchased a medium/heavy and returned it the next day. It wasn’t for me and wasn’t fun to use. For your situation, the St Croix medium would be more than enough. If it’s an option, I also recommend checking out other brands and see what feels best to you.

Who uses Junebug worms
I had ton of success on Junebug senkos when I used to fish at night. I plan on fishing Junebug/Purple a lot more this year.

Shimano Slx vs Dobyns Fury
If I remember correctly, it was not only their preference of long leaders, but also the size of the line they are using (heavier line) causing thicker knots which would cause problems with the TWS.

Black Grape vs Gooseberry
I have already looked at every picture possible including the ones on zooms website. Didn’t really give me the info I was looking for as it’s hard to see the details in stock pics. Was just looking for some feedback from people with experience with these colors.

Black Grape vs Gooseberry
Hey guys, I was interested in throwing a purple worm (trick worm, ribbon tail) more often this year. What are the differences/similarities between Zooms black grape and gooseberry? For those of you that used both, has one been more productive than the other and if so, under what conditions? How different/similar are these colors compared to Junebug? Thanks.

Bulking Up
I think you may have gotten confused by what i was trying to say. This is what I meant by mucles work in pairs. For example look at the biceps and triceps: During elbow flexion, the biceps contract and the triceps lengthen. They work together but have different actions. Agonist - working muscle Antagonist - muscle that relaxes Please remember that I am not trying to argue but there is no way to isloate each head in the biceps nor each individual tricep head. For example, during a bicep curl, both heads work together but one can be emphasized more depending on the exercise. Same with a tricep extension.

I will disagree with you here. Studies have shown that not stretching prior to a work out does not increase the chance of injury for that particular muscle group and can actually increase the chance of an injury. Think of a rubber band. Compare a fresh new rubber band out straight out of the package compared to one that has been stretched out to its maximum a few times without breaking. Which one is stronger and which one is weaker? The whole "stretch your chest before doing bench presses" is very old school. However, i do believe that you should never do weight training "cold". A warm up could be 10 minutes of some type of cardio to get your blood flowing as it will also increase your heart rate. I do agree that Yoga is a good idea and can increase flexibility and is highly recommended. Also, an important thing to remember is that muscle groups usually works in pairs. When one muscle contracts the opposite muscle relaxes. Next time you want to stretch your triceps do it once naturally. Then flex your biceps. Then stretch your triceps again. You should be able to tell the difference. Same thing with hamstrings. Contract your quads first before stretching your hamstrings.

How Many Rods Do You Use.
I only fish from shore so I only use one. In the past i have brought 2 but the areas to fish from was limited. Now i fish 2 ponds next to each other with a lot of area to work with. I am constantly moving so 1 is all I need. The ground surrounding the pond is full of duck crap so i wouldn't want to set another rod down anywhere either. If I fished from a boat i probably would bring more.

I usually stay out of threads like this to avoid a ticking match and no disrespect to anyone here but I feel like there is misinformation in this thread so I wanted to chime in. You are completely capable of gaining muscle working out 20-30 minutes 3-4 times a week as long as you are doing things correctly. When it comes to weight training, less is more. If you are spending hours working out, that will lead to over training. When it comes to reps, don't get caught up in the high reps is for definition and low reps is for bulk. What happens when Guy 1 is doing high reps (with low weight) while eating 6000 calories a day and Guy 2 is doing low reps (heavy weight) eating 1500 calories a day? As far as gaining weight, its calories in vs calories out. If you consume more calories than you are burning, it will gain weight. It you burn more calories than you are cosuming, you will lose weight. You want to make sure the calories you are consume are good calories and not junk food. A simple formula I have always preached is: Workout + nutrition + rest + dedication/consistency = success If you are not seeing results you need to look at the formula and see where your weakness is. It's 100% guranteed you will be able to identify what is holding you back (sometimes its more than 1). When it comes to supplements, I feel you can benefit from them but people depend on them too much. A supplement is "an addition to" what should already be a healthy diet. Real food will and always be your first priority. Supplements that I do recommend are protein (isolate or a blend), creatine (scientifically proven) and a multivitamin/fish oil. If you have any health issues please check with your doctor first. Last but not least is the weight training. Always remember that reps is important that the weight. What I mean by that is select the weight you use by knowing how many reps you are trying to archive for that particular set. A lot of people select random weights without knowing exactly how many reps they will get. That is a big no no. A basic guideline for reps would be : 1 set - 12 reps 2 set - 10 reps 3 set - 8 reps Focus on your form and go slow on all your exercises. One day at a time and consistency is key.
