Had a decent weekend with roughly 38 bass boated. No giants, but did have some decent ones thrown in. This one being the best of the day. Falling for a jig/craw.

Anyone recommend a “budget friendly”pair of fishing glasses?
Been using these for a few years now. Very light and comfortable. They don’t squeeze your melon causing headaches.

Whopper Plopper
Same here, it’s either multiple bass or nothing. I only throw the 110 size in phantom Shad and loon. Both haves produced fairly equally for me.

Best Length For Heavy Jig / Big Worm Rod
I recommend a 5 Power Dobyns for what you describe. I use a dx 705c , great for pitching 3/8 and up into heavier cover.

smartbaits
Received a couple of their products at last years BBWC. The clever crank 40 and brainy bugger. They do change color as wvu said and have caught some fish with them. Didn’t notice any difference in catch rate and at this moment are not even in my tackle box and are sitting in the garage with all the other baits/lures not being used. Current price point to expensive for me also.

I’ve been using this since it came out, for the reasons you mention. Casts great, super easy to walk/pop. The only thing I didn’t care for were the hooks,which I upgraded.

Fluorocarbon
Flouro is one of those products, where “ime” the more expensive the better it is. If someone likes just a little bit the lower and/or middle line products ,they would love the top shelf stuff.

Why do people pull line out of their reels when fighting fish?
Forget about drama, the guys an idiot.

Sunline defier armilo line?
Been using this line on two setups in 13 and 15 lb for two years now. I throw lures from 1/4 up to 1 oz on these two rods. Poppers, squarebills, rattle traps, spinnerbaits ,wakebaits, 110 WP, etc. I believe it will work well with most applications. Definitely less stretch than “traditional mono” which I like best, excellent knot strength and abrasion resistance also. The only bad thing is it’s a little pricey.
