Best Knot for Fluorocarbon?
Trilene Knot has worked well for me over many years and no trouble. Whatever knot you use wet well and tighten up slowly is key with fluorocarbon. I started with Red Label then Invizx and ended up with Sunline Sniper but that's another thread?

Monofilament line
I only use Braid/Fluoro on my dropshot spinning setups. Straight Fluorocarbon on Texas Rig, Jigs and Crankbaits. Straight Braid with Frogs mostly and sometimes Mono. Mono with rattletraps, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits and most topwater. FWIW my neighbor uses Berkley Big Game and catches just as many fish as I do ?

S-Crank Bluegills
Great looking gills

Chatterbait color
As most others already stated I use white(baitfish color) in clear water and black/blue in stained. Great thing is replacement skirts are cheap and easy quick change same as with swim jigs/spinnerbaits, I use a bluegill color skirt in some places where the fish relate to them more than shad.

Winter and time of day you start fishing
Same here, had a fishing partner that always wanted to be there at daylight in Winter... "Had"??

Recommend some line for me!
Same here. I use 14# for T-Rigs, Jigs and Crankbaits. Holds up well around wood which my home lake is full of. I use the Trilene Knot and never have any trouble (just wet and cinch slowly). Not trying to start a debate but I started with Red Label and it had too much memory for me and then InvizX which had great casting with less memory but too many line breaks in heavy cover.

Largemouth vs. Smallmouth
Spent 2 months in Minnesota this Summer fishing. First thing i noticed about smallmouth is they never give up compared to largemouth even after getting in boat, trying to get a treblehook out of them is always an adventure. I fish lots of texas rig soft plastics for largemouth and noticed when fishing tubes for smallmouth they seldom hammer it like largemouth usually do. Fished only lakes no rivers, also noticed was way more largemouth in South get airborne than the smallies which really surprised me from what I had heard. Best thing about smallmouth to me is how aggresive they are if you put a topwater around them. I wore out a LC Sammy on them 80% of the time no matter time of day?Can't wait to get North again!!

I have so much tackle I can't find anything?
Youngest daughter moved out to attend college several years ago. First thing I did was get sad and then immediately started moving tackle into her room?? Seriously best thing was to buy totes at walmart and organize ex: topwaters,deep cranks,shallow cranks,med cranks. Soft plastics-craws,worms,frogs,flukes all labeled and put in exlarge ziplock bags. In boat everything is labebled and i just switch plano boxes and plastics depending on what lakes i ll be fishing

Baitcasters; Right vs Left handed retrieve...
Being left handed i cast with that hand and reel with right, never understood why all my right handed friends did the cast/switch thing. Funny thing is when i use fly or spinning gear im more comfortable casting with my right and keep rod there during retrieve....go figure?
