Wow I literally will get everything I asked for on my birthday haha... Tackle gift certs and 1-2 feet of fresh snow.

For me it's more having well-set-up combos than anything. I have 3 dialed combos atm but am working towards 5. Tackle... Well tackle is it's own reason. If they have to ask they'll never understand!
-
I feel the same way. Just like an "as seen on TV" miracle product, it never stacks up like they insist it will. Time will tell with AM though, the guy is definitely a thinker.

I just don't know where they'd all go haha... Can you imagine how many setups he has for moving baits, plastics and jigs?? He must have a pontoon boat and 150 rods on any given day

I want a drone sub swimbait video game app. Cast it out, whip out the smartphone while it dives and then drive that sucker around like a mini sub bass-seeking video game. When you see a bass, hit the A for a twitch, B for a wiggle, turbo button for an erratic "escape attempt" etc... It would ruin fishing but it would be a blast.

Also... Smallmouth in a current.

Have to ask- what line did you use?
-
Pit bosses Rage craws Huddle bugs Look no further than the big 3. Those hudd bugs get crushed too.

I always bring my gigantic wall of text too haha

Some kind of topwater is almost always in the rotation. Frogs are #1 when there's heavy cover around though, for sure.

SX1. Such a joy to fish in every way. I use it as low as 10# in baitcasting reels without problems. No coatings to wear off, stays green, super tight/strong weave and while not quite as supple as PP I like it better. Seems to fray much less in my experience and I always tie with double palomar.

Yeeeeeeeh I reckon she 'bout a two footer

For $100 I'd make an A-Rig out of 4 hudd bluegills haha
-
This makes sense, thanks!
-
Yes but why not just tie on the same amount of mainline you'd normally tie onto a backing right to the spool and forego the backing altogether? Wouldn't that in theory give you a lighter total spool and improve casting distance like a finesse spool would in relation to a normal one? If that is wrong please tell me but explain. My mind is having trouble with the conflicting schools of thought. Is the backing "just in case" the fish peels out past your mainline end in an effort to stretch out a spool's worth of line?
-
That is a stellar deal!
-
Well run what makes you happy for sure! I catch fish with "regular" frogs too but the question was what's your favorite. Slither k hands down for me. They are simply the epitome of a perfect frog for me. I have lost frogs before but thankfully not one of those haha... I might cry. I have actually lost a lunk3rhunt frog even though I was running steep leaders once. Sometimes there's nothing you can do.
-
I've always wondered why people use backing at all. Doesn't the higher spool weight negatively impact casting to some degree? Why not just put less mainline on and call it a day? I realize this may sound stupid but I've never used backing before not has anyone really told me why it's such a good idea. I'd definitely appreciate some insight.

Ninja ice gloves from amazon, no lie best gloves ever. Light insulated stretch neoprene, breathable for the sweaty handed like me, and nice grippy dipped palms. I think they're $9. I got turned onto them by a freezer worker, and now all my snowmaking friends have them. Very dexterous and warm but light and great fit. Snip off a tip, good to go.

Too soft. 440 is also used in things like sword blades and is very hard stainless. 304 or 316 would offer good corrosion resistance but would likely scuff, scratch and generally degrade to replacement much faster. This is also why ceramic is a nice choice albeit noisier.
