Line Preference On Spinning Reels
Braid all the way. Especially on the Carrot Stix. The sensitivity is crazy.

Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 Or Duckett Ghost
I have to suggest a M or M/H Carrot Stix. Perfect frog rod. Put at least 50lb. Power Pro. I have three love them, and in the heat of the summer I fish frogs 90% of the time. Don't like orange? They have green.

Pub Subs
Dude I love the Mardi Gras wings I had some Super Bowl Sunday. They are better than any other chicken wing I have ever had.

New Popping Swimbait...????....help..!!
Pop shadz doesn't have a boot tail, but it's also probably cheaper. I don't even know where you could get one of those 3:16 Little Boogers. They aren't for sale on their website.

Pub Subs
I'm fairly new to the south, and have found the best subs in world. You may think they at some roadside sandwhich place or a family owned restraunt, but no they inhabit the bakery section at Publix. They absolutely put every other sandwhich place to shame. They use quality ingredients, it's always super clean, and they are actually nice. I get the same thing everytime: a whole turkey on 9 grain bread with pepper jack cheese, mayo, lettuce, onions, pickles, jalepenoes, and oil/vinegar. Why mess with perfection? The only reason I'm telling you is because, I'm a nice guy. Stop going to second rate sandwhich chains who care less if you enjoy your lunch. Go to Publix, where the bread isn't banned in Europe.

Check youtube. If you don't find anything see if you can find a local charter.

Thinking About Buying A Kayak
By the way, My D10t has crazy draft I can go places that are like 3" deep.

Paddle Tail Swimbaits
I like the 5.5" Berkely Sick Fish (disco shad) for weighted swimbait hooks. And for jigheads the Big Hammer swimbaits (bleeding trout) are awesome.

Bass Have Huge Appetites
Are 8" Hudds big enough?

Thinking About Buying A Kayak
That looks pretty good. I would check out the Ascends at BPS before you decide they're a good deal, and decent quality. I have the Ascend D10, it is good cheap kayak it doesn't track well at all, but I can comfortably stand on it like a paddle board, which is a huge plus with fishing. If you don't have good balance, or feel comfortable standing I wouldn't suggest it because that's the the best part of it.

Why Are Boat Motors So Expensive?
I saw a jerry rigged weed eater outboard on Swamp People. I've always wanted to try that.

New Topwater Rod
Medium light for the Pop R. Medium heavy for big wakebaits (like the new Spro rat). I prefer Carrot Stix, but anything that size would be good.

Help Chosing Rod $100-175Ish
I know I'm opening up a can of worms, but Carrot Stix are hard to beat. Super lightweight. Price is resonable. And the sensitivity is unbelievable. Orange not your color? Get the saltwater version, they're green. The company has been bought out, and hopefully their name isn't too tarnished. I have owned one for five years, and two more for the past season. No problems (beside some minor wear). The medium or medium heavy would be perfect for that reel, depending on what you want to use it for.

New Squarebills
Sweet. Pro looking finish. That's not easy, great job.
-
Barely Legal Topwaters
Oh that makes sense. When it's a small company they actually care about quality and craftmanship. Not just the bottom dollar.

Barely Legal Topwaters
If they were so great why are they discontinued?

Anyone Used The Diawa Exceler Spinning Reel
I used the 1500 size (on a 7' Carrot Stick) this past year. Absolutely loved it no problems, it's a great deal on TW. Caught my third biggest bass on it.

Scott Martin Challenge With Spider-Man & Barbie Poles
My favorite part of the whole thing was at the end when Jacob Wheeler and the other guy couldn't decide on a fist bump or high five.

Lost Equipment
Once while kayak fishing with my brother, I dropped my paddle in the middle of the lake. I jumped in after it, but since it was a cheap push-pole style paddle it sank before I could get to it. Meanwile he was fishing on the exact opposite side of the lake I was at, and it took him forever to find me literally up a creek without a paddle. Luckily the wind blew me within a few hundred yards from the boat ramp, so it was a short tow to the ramp, but the wind was so strong I was freezing by the time he showed up.

Interesting Psychology/vision Experiment
Black and blue. Now for the real question would you wear that shirt for 20 bucks? I would and when people said "I like your black and blue shirt". I would say "It's gold and white".

Favorite Non-Fishing Youtube Channel
Dude perfect, the stereotypes are hilarious. The fishing one is so accurate.
