i improved on my lure selection, i didn't re-tie as much before i got to the lake and saw the conditions. i inproved on my use of baitcasters, not backlashing as much, i also improved on finsing new spots and not fishing history as much while moving around the lake

BPS speed shad
i used them for the majority of my swimjig and chatterbait trailers this year and they worked well for me the only thing i have to say is that i would stick with the basic colours, i was definitely not a fan of the male perch colour as it was upside down (green should be up top). I would also add some scent to them as they didn't really have much of their own

Abu Garcia IKE series rods vs St.croix Mojo bass
i've been using the 7'3" Ike M/M this has been my crank rod which i have absolutely loved. the tip is sensitive enought for cranking and telling what my bait is running into but there is still a decent amount of backbone for when i need to pop a lipless out of the grass
