Weed killer ruins ponds
what likely happens is the bass in these ponds are used to feeding on gills and smaller bait fish that are eating plankton and alike that live in the vegetation. without that vegetation the food sources might change or be harder to find for these fish, they will likely end up on some off shore structure, or roaming the banks which is what i see at a local place

What is a popular opinion you disagree with?
that can be true and false at the same time, they are much harder to locate since they are nomadic, they are more aggressive than largemouth generally speaking. Overall I personally agree they are more difficult to catch, which to me is one of the reasons KVD is an amazing angler as well as BP both cut their teeth smallie fishing finding the big schools and now can usually find largemouth with ease

What is a popular opinion you disagree with?

Missing the Line Tug
sounds like a rough winter a couple positives to take away 1) keep working with that left hand and you will potentially be able to fish more spots that you might not have been able to get a bait into before 2) you now have a built it baton in your wrist

Who's had good and bad experiences with the Berkeley Choppo?
just stick with the original I don't understand the point of saving $3-$5 for berkley (who is a huge corporation and has much more in terms of resources pull when it comes to pricing) to rip off the design. In the long run this deters companies like river2sea from coming up with original ideas anyway since someone is going to rip them off anyway. no i am not saying they came up with the originial design but they made the wp which blew up and then every other company has to have one

Roman Made Negotiator V.S. Megabass I-slide
nego is smaller than the 262 but, it takes a while to learn the 262 and very confusing when you start to fish it, i used it more so for pike than bass, since the jerkbait like action got them to bite. if you want my honest opinion, keep to what you already have. yes trying new big baits is fun but its better to fish the ones you already have confidence in. i have switched this year and i am stocked up on 250's and 175's for glides. i try to keep it to 1-3 baits in a category that i have confidence in, it saves time and really stops you from thinking about what you should be throwing.

Still patiently waiting...
consider yourself lucky too most of us in ontario have to wait until the middle-end of june
