I use a fluorocarbon leader with my mainline braid for increased abrasion resistance. Honorable mention is ease of breaking off if I get snagged.

My yearly goal is simple and unchanging: Fish more.

I’m at the point where I’m just replacing terminal tackle, line and soft plastics. I receive a BPS gift card every X-mas and I’m still using the 2023 card. Haven’t touched the 2024 card and will get the 2025 card in another month. Sweet…

She’s probably wondering if she can feed that bass to her dragons.

You obviously didn’t read the report the OP referenced. It’s not about people fishing without licenses. It’s about people not fishing and choosing to do something else instead.

Agree. I don’t find this statistic scary at all. I find it encouraging.

Welcome to BR Evan! Like @Swamp Girl I was immediately impressed with your language skills while reading your post. AND you are catching smallmouth and walleyes - my two favorites…

I think M power is plenty to set the hook with a skirted finesse jig as this shouldn’t have a real thick wire hook. As for action I’ve never used a Moderate Fast Rod. The slowest action I’ve used is “Fast”.
-
I’ve used spinning and baitcasting. M power, fast or extra fast.

My river smallmouth fishing is in 6 feet or less and I use 3/16 ounce finesse jigs. With hook and skirt and trailer they weigh 3/8 ounce.

You and I wade the same river. In summer I’m wet wading with shorts and sneakers. But in colder water I wear chest waders. The first pair I used were neoprene boot waders and I DON’T RECOMMEND! It felt like I had roller skates on my feet when walking over rocks in the river. Current pair are breathable chest waders with neoprene stocking feet and separate wading boots. My footing is a lot better with the wading boots though I’m getting to the age where I should start using a wading stick. As someone mentioned these are harder to get on and off. I put them on at home and wear them the whole trip even if walking some distance to the fishing spot.

A free NRX+? Whoo! I would pick a rod that I would use on every outing. For me that would be NRX+ 902S SJR.
