The size of the plastic, influences the size of the hook. Bigger worms allow for bigger hooks, but in the case of a worm I feel bigger hooks take away from the action of the plastic. The rage craw is not quite the same as a worm, and there are many different size worms. You can cover most applications with 1/0 to 5/0, 1/0 4" worms, 5/0 10" worms. But I would not advise to fish all your worms on the same size hook.

His show was so good, it really does not matter. I don't think you can find a more informative show, but I am a Fan for sure!

Check out the Kodak playsport, It is dust, shock, and water proof out of the box. I got mine for around $140 with a couple accessories.

As someone who has had masses removed I agree. Unless I am swimming I wear long sleeves and pants. I would rather sweat all day then get more masses cut out of me.

That's first class, I know where to stop my next time thru Delaware.

If you go with hip waders that will save you some coin, but also keep you a bit shallower.

Fishing that shallow I prefer a floating jerkbait over a crankbait.

I have baits I like to throw at different cover and structure, but in no way do I have any type of order. If I am fishing more then one day in a row, this changes and I am more likely to fish the same lures in the same order, since I would be fishing a pattern if I figured one out.

I am not sure I will ever over look them getting rid of Alex, and watching him makes magic with Kansas just made it that much harder.

I got a couple LH frogs to try this year. I think they are good frogs, just way to weak. One Pickerel and the frog sinks, where my cheaper pad crashers keep floating. I was thinking of pulling out the leg and putting them into my pad crashers to get the real look, and durability all in one package. I am not a fan of repairing a frog after every fish, I would rather just throw a horny toad.

Very good point, and I agree 100% present.

I don't think your a derp if it has any consolation, I kinda figured you were new. The water will layout nice and flat, unless it goes on dry and I find it great to work with. Other then having to spray it to see the end color it's a great product! I have only worked with gelcoat once, and I hated it lol! From the picture it looks like you can spray like a boss, so I would say you transitioned quite well! I would go with a solvent base, and maybe an acrylic clear not to sure. I would be more worried about the clear building to much, and would do my best to get 1 coat coverage with the base to give me the most room to work with. I would try it out, but I don't feel like tearing my fishing gear apart to paint it. Keep up the good work!

I don't like long hair in the corners of my mouth either, could care less about the rest of it!

I have been in the business for over 13 years, and water based paints have a higher material build then solvents. I know this from the many two tone paint jobs I have complete with both, and seeing first hand the much thicker hard line left by water, versus solvent. Not to mention the 100's of other painters I know who have noticed the same thing. Solvent would be my go to for less material build. Technically speaking you can just look at the reductions of the two, 50% for solvent, 20% for water as a baseline. Also water paint is a lot thicker then solvents, and that is why they can offer better coverage and a filter for spraying. I would also say that if you put as much clear on a reel as you did your outboard cover, you will have to much material to retain clearances on the faces where they apply.
