How many times have you lost a brand new lure first cast?
On the fox river, theres a popular bend for smallies. On this bend theres a large rock, and 5 feet further down stream theres a tree less than 2 feet off the water over hanging a large area. You can tell its a heavily targeted spot because it's all different color during fall when the leafs are gone thanks to the lures all over the tree.

Irod genesis ll jr swimbait and dobyns fury 795
I've fished both short term. The fury is a good rod for the price point, nothing fancy, innovative or overly impressive. I've also fished iRods and have been dying to buy my own since. Personal preference for me is with the iRods. You can't really go wrong either way though.

The some random size question
Could you all help me please, grab spinner baits double bladed and measure the height, and length for me for 1/2 and under? I don't have any at my house right now and I'm designing a new tackle box. It only needs to be hard length. I don't need to know the length of the skirt lol.

Spike It vs. JJ's Magic
One hundred percent JJ Magic. The stuff works. I sat coangler next to someone using gulp, same size, same color lure. The only difference being I dyed the tail of my fluke. I out fished him for five hours until we switched bait types when the bite died down. Two scented lures vs each other and JJs won hands down.

Rod Sale Questions
For years I was a big Shimano guy, they had great products at reasonable prices. Honestly I feel like not only has the constructed wuality decreased greatly, but I feel like for the components that you're getting compared to other lesser brands you're paying for the name Shimano more than you're paying for the rod. I've held 130 dollar gander mountian elite series, and carbonlites from BPS I was more impressed with than more expensive Shimano rods these days.

Did i make the right choice with the Veritas 2.0 7ft Medium action ?
Bias opinion first, buying a veritas rod is never a good choice. Personal prference aside, you got a medium for a reel that is good with casting lightish lures, just remember worst case scenario you have another rod and reel purchase that you're happy with and one more you can eventually look forward to getting.

Rod Sale Questions
I'll give you the advise I can have by regret purchases. Do not buy Shimano rods period, I've never been satisified with one. BPS rods. I've had several but always prefered gander, cabelas, and even fenwick rods.

NRX Casting Rods Reel Seat Comfort
The nrx is definitely very comfortable, not the kind of comfortable I got from other rods that I actually had the thought of d**n this is comfortable, but it's comfortable enough that like them after my first three or four casts I never gave it a second thought.

next TW sale?
I've saved thousands over the years. Definitely worth it if you add it all up.

next TW sale?
I would love a sale sticky thread, but I'd hate going through all of the questions to have the most recent answer, and it just to be over lol. Too bad mods can't just lock a topic and update the thread as a sale starts or ends. But that wouod be asking a lot out of then for us to just be lazy. Cheers.
