Tackle Box
cabela's tackle bags are the best.they come in 3 different sizes.i use the super magnum.get plano boxes for it.the cabela's boxes warp with soft plastics. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat20166-cat20327_TGP&id=0036306120772a&navCount=2&podId=0036306&parentId=cat20327&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=IG&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20327&hasJS=true

per tackle tour they are.

BPS Rods and reel quality question
that would depend on how you look at it.let's say you spend $300 on a reel it lasts 10 years = $30 a year cost.let's say you spend $99 on a reel and it lasts 5 years = $20 a year.lets say you buy a rick clunn on sale for $69 and it last 5 years = $13.8 a year.i have 3 trion round reels that are 5 years old and have only had normal lube jobs.they cost $89 each and are as good as new.

PowerPro Red
i don't think the red will be as easy to see as the yellow.iwouldjust color the end of your yellow with a red permanent marker.

BPS Rods and reel quality question
out of curiousity what is the big deal with sending them to bps for service.either guys do it themselves or send them somewhere so what difference does it make where you send them as long as they are done right?

PowerPro Red
15 feet is where red turns grey/black totally.the line doesn't dissapear.it turns greyish black thus camoflaging the line in all but the clearest water.some people think red attracts bites in shallow water.this is where your red hook theory comes in.red hooks on a deep crank do nothing but turn grey/black.i am coloring the faded ends of my sufix braid red with a permanent marker next year to try it out.

i would put the johnny morris rod up there with any of them.

Tie Knot? or Use Snap?
you mean exspensive.besides i've gone 5 trips without having to retie my snap to the braid.it saves a lot of line.it makes it easier to change lures which is a plus when you can only have 6 rods on a rowboat.

WHAT IS THE BEST

-
Krocadiles or kastmasters as jiggin spoons

Krocadiles or kastmasters as jiggin spoons

BPS Rods and reel quality question
bps rods are great.i have a rick clunn baitcaster but i haven't owned it long enough to give a review.i will tell you i did order another one.the johnny morris and rick clunn reels are both made by pflueger and i love pflueger.
-
Tie Knot? or Use Snap?
i use berkley cross lock snaps size 3 which are 60 lb test.you aren't breaking these snaps.i use them on everything.iuse sufix braid and don't want to be cutting it off.using snaps makes braid last forever.i have found no decrease in catch rates due to use of braid and snaps.the fish could care less. to texas rigg i use a jobee pro hook. to shakey head i clip on a shakey head jig
-
Pfleuger President Ultra-Light Reel
true as can be.i would never buy a graphite frame reel.get a medalist or the new supreme magnesium frame (you should not let salt get on magnesium frames) when it comes out. http://www.pfluegerfishing.com/products/products.php?p=9

All around bass rod, suggestions?
6-6m or mh.
-
Cranks & rattles
rapala dt16 and a rattlin rapala 1/2 oz. both in shad pattern.
-
All around bass rod, suggestions?
it's more likely to get busted in the trunk where you forget about it.get a 1 piece and just be carefull with it,i drive a hyundai accent and fit rods up to 6-10 in it with no problem.
-
quick change snap used by kVD?
on a deep diver i clip to the split ring.if you don't have a split ring clipping it with a big lip can be a pain.on a lipless crank or jerkbait/crankbait with a small lip i remove the split ring.
-
Two Rigs Only
if i could only have 2 rods it would be a 6-6 mh johnny morris signature series and a 7-6 johnny morris flipping stick with pflueger summit reels on each both spooled with 65 lb suffix braid.my top 5 lures would be as follows. 1)10 inch power worm 2)1/2 oz. booyah black/red jig and trailer 3)1/2 oz.rattlin rapala in shad pattern 4)3/8 booyah white spinnerbait with double willow blades 5)5 inch senko

another baitcaster
pflueger summit. or supreme
-
BPS Rick Clunn reels
he obviously had no clue how to set up a reel.any good salesman who is trying to sell a newbie a baitcaster would set it up right so it wouldn't backlash at all.
