FunkJishing

crankbaits with swapable bills for when you need that same bait to run shallower or deeper. lol

yes I was refering to the dropper length, sorry haha. I start with mine a little over a foot long.

So is it safe to say mono is best for moving baits (power fishing) when the cover isn't serious enough for braid and when the fish aren't spooked enough to need fluro? and for worm fishing, jig fishing and rigging fluro or braid with a leader is best?

good to know^

square A and model A are best.

Am I the only one who feels like largemouth are more predictable than smallmouth? ex. "hey that fallen tree looks like largemouth heaven (makes a few casts) BLAM! fights on" ex. "hey this rockpile looks like smallmouth heaven (makes a few casts, switches through 40 baits and decides to go home)"

I think the format is great, makes things a little more interesting. the lead can be stolen at any point, i like the twists and turns.

great haha so I'll be using my 1/8th oz 5/O ewg gamakatsu hooks.

I fish for smallmouth 99% of the time and live up north where the waters colder. the waters always clear and thanks to what you guy's said I've decided to set up my two spinning set-up's with drop shot rigs at diffrent leader lengts. one shorter and one longer. hopefully this makes the trial and error process a little easier.

what is the best application for the following? BRAID: MONO:

was the line wrapped around your rod tip? I dont get how line could snap anywhere on the cast without it's flight through the air being stopped abruptlly. Even if it was I dont think the braid should have snapped though... maybe you got a bad spool. idk, I'll have to see with mine.

heavy cover worm and jig fishing, and yes I think I'll like it.

makes sence^^^

and should I use a weighted ewg or just a 5/o ewg?

you think a smallmouth would swallow one of them things?
