Spinnerbait blade color
I love me some copper blades. I like to throw them in spring and fall on cloudy days though I'll use them on sunny windy days of I'm feeling the vibe. Bass seem to like them as well.

Is 7ft the best all around length?
I would choose a 7'3". Shorter than my longest and longer than my shortest. I've done alot of things with a 7ft. Rod so I know I don't like punching and frogging with one that short.

Worst hooksets?
Frogs/toads for sure
-
Lead Ban
I switched to non-lead when the ban went into effect. I also have an E.P.O. that lives about a mile from me and right between 3 launches I frequent so I see him a few times each year. Even with jigs hanging from my rods in sight he's never asked about them. He's more concerned with safety stuff.

Fishing new lake-what would you throw to cover water?
I'll give my vote for the spinnerbait. However I do prefer colorado blades early in the season.

Line type for Buzzbaits
I go with 40lb. Braid on a 7ft. Mh/f rod and 6.3 speed reel. And always use a trailer hook.

Prespawn: squarebill, chatterbait, or spinnerbait -which do you prefer?
Personally I like to start out early spring with a Jig, however of the 3 about which you asked I'd go spinnerbait, chatterbait,squarebill, though I'll usually have all 3 rigged to see what they want each time out.

Punch Rig Question
I tried bobber stops but didn't like them. I prefer the jumbo peg-it's. I pull them through until they're nice and tight then I snip it flush at the top but I cut it about an 1/8" below the bottom of the weight and this becomes my 'spacer' between the weigh and the bait.
-
Who else skirts their sinkers?... Wait, what?
Well to me this seems like a solution that's more work than the conventional way. While i.prefer the jumbo peg-it's to bobber stops either is gonna be easier. Especially when you are using larger weights (3/4-1oz.) Like I do I'd need probably 2 whole skirts to peg. This would probably be best for a slender mojo type weight. I akso dont understand the 'barely pegged' part, either you want the weight to slide or you dont .

What do you have to force yourself to do in 2020?
I've got to force myself to be more kind to people who set up lawn chairs 3 wide on boat launches carp fishing with two rods apiece?

What lures did you lose the most in 2019?
I had a pretty good season as far as losing lures only losing a handful all year. As far as lures I went thru and need to restock definatly spinnerbaits. Between smallies and pickeral up I Maine I can end up with 2-3 a day mangled beyond use. 2nd would be double wide beavers. The bottom of my boat is littered with these between July and oct. Also burned up a ton of buzzbait blades.

Bass fishing confessions
Well I'm a devout baitcast, straight braid, mh and up kind of guy... But the biggest bass I (probably) ever caught (no scale back then) was caught on a m/f 7' spinning rod 1/8oz. Unpegged Brass weight red glass bead and a 2/0 light wire straight shank worm hook and 8 lb. Mono.
