how often do you catch fish?
Usually in an 8 hour day if I don't catch 15 then it was a terrible day unless I catch say 5-10 and there are some really quality fish mixed in. I can't remember the time I was just flat out skunked. I've had a few days this year where I may have only caught 5-6 but it was 35 degrees with the wind blowing 20 mph

Decisions, decisions
I meant I'd save the money and get the cheaper one of the 3. If all you'll ever throw on it is a frog then it'll be fine.

Telescopic Handle Rods
The solution here is to buy a new boat with a bigger rod locker lol

Do you wear a "buff" when fishing? and let's see it if so.
I'd rather wear sun screen than have to wear one of those stupid things

I think they are about the dumbest dang thing I've ever seen

Strikes Close Up - How to Handle
I'd cross his eyes. When you are flipping in thick grass the fish are within feet of the boat. But that's using heavy braid and a stout hook. As lone as you've got good line and good knots I'dput the steel to him

Durable rod and reel
H20 express ethos rods. Best bang for your buck in the fishing game. They only cost 59.99. They are like a sore goober you can't beat it

Best frog fishing rod
Academy h20 express ethos 7'6 for 59.99. Maybe not the best but it'll serve you well. It's really more of a heavy than a medium heavy. I really like the original scum frog. It's an older style bait and isn't as flashy as the new ones but it flat catches fish

$200 combo
If you've got an academy close by gran and h20 express mettle and one of there ethos rods. Your looking at 120 with room left to buy another rod or reel. I've used a lot of different rods and reels over the years and these have became my favorite. I've broken two of the rods in the last I guess 4-5 years and they were completely 100% my fault academy still replaced them

Help Me Lure Shop!
The war eagle spinner baits are a good choice. I'd add in a bigger frog I prefer the scum popping frogs. Grab a couple 3/8 war eagle finesse jigs, net bait swim jig,zoom ultravibe speed craw,reaction innovation kinky beaver,zoom ol monster worms, zoom flukes,assorted hooks in all sizes, I really prefer the standard offset hook for a worm or craw. I'd go with a natural color like green pumpkin or water melon for clear water and black for stained water. For the flukes I'd want something visible like white or chartreuse. The ultravibe doubles as a jig or chatter bait trailer so I'd want some of those in white or pearl. Lastly and most importantly I'd have to have some jj's magic dye in chartreuse

Having trouble fishing jigs
4/0 hook or no 4 hook? I like a 3/8 ounce jig. I rarely fish water over 20 foot deep. And deep that 20 I'm probably going to throw a 1/2 or 3/4

Do you have a "that friend" and what does he do?
A guy I fished with finished 15th in a 100 boat tournament and now he thinks he is kvd jr.

About like that spot except it was only 12 or 13 ounces

Protecting hardbait hooks during transport and storage?
Are you dragging your tackle box behind the truck?

Protecting hardbait hooks during transport and storage?
You're creating a problem where there isn't one

Squarebill reel
If you have an academy sports in your area you will not go wrong with the h20 express mettle reel. I've sold most of my higher end baitcasters and went to these reels

Right lure for specific time of the year
Not all bass go deep either. Especially in shallower bodies of water. Every year I catch bass flipping in a couple feet of water when the water temp in in the 90's. I think it's mainly because the creeks are so shallow there is more oxygen up shallow around the grass mats

buzzbait issues
Probably so. You could bend it if you wanted but I feel like the rotation of the blade plays a big part in the direction that the bait moves. Those war eagle buzzbaits have a big blade compared to some other buzzbaits
