What Braid Size For Crankbaits?
Braid floats and has no stretch. You want some stretch to avoid tearing out the treble hooks.

Pflueger President 6930 Spinning Reel : Ok With 6Lb ~ 8Lb Fc ?
I put 6lb FC on a similar sized spinning reel. I hated it! The stuff was so springy that it jumped off the spool even with the bail closed. 10-20 lb braid with a FC leader is the key!

Looking For My First Baitcasting Rod
Since you have an h2o reel how about an h2o Composite Cranker? I like mine for squarebills.

In the unlikely event that I ever visit your home, I will politely decline the chocolate milk.

Bass Boat Purchase
Figure on problems, and factor in the cost. The cash deal will likely be your best bet.

Poison Ivy Removal
Somebody mentioned putting Round up on the stump. That will not work. Round up works through the leaves to kill the plant.

Letting A Lure Get To The Bottom
Pretty sure you got your engaged and disengaged confused, but we know what you meant. Whatever you do you need to watch your line.

Estimate The Weight
They tend to weigh less when held sideways like that. Next time hang it straight down.

Reel Handle Bearings
You bearing guys are WAY too purist! Or maybe over-bearing would be the word.

New Personal Best.. I Think
If the "reel contest" fish is 3-15, that is definitely a 3+!!!

So How Hot Is It
Climate change! That's what climate does, ya know. That is why there is a weather report every day instead of once a month.

Help Choosing Reels
Answered your own question! Inshore is designed for salt which is over-kill for fresh. The Revo Inshore has an insane amount of drag and is not that heavy.

Lure Mods
I sometimes get creative with magic markers. Red under the gills and such. I don't think it maters much.

Your First Rod
She never used it? BTW, what's a dobber? JK! I think my first was a Shakesphere Wonderod! Of course it had a Wondercast attached. I was sure proud of that set up!

New Personal Best.. I Think
Not that it matters, but that could easily be a 3 pounder. I reference the size of the mouth to the hand holding the fish. Big hand, big mouth. Keep at it! I caught my first 3+ in 2010 later that year my first 5 followed. The next year caught a bunch of 4 pounders. Then came a surprise 8-13. It will get better and better! BTW, hide your scale in your back pack. Then the biggies will think you don't have one. That is when they bite!
