This. Make sure they are JDM too.

There has been increased demand for kayaks in the last 12 months. Now there is a plastics shortage that was caused by the power outages in Texas, which led to chemical plant shutdowns. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/february-texas-freeze-triggered-global-plastics-shortage-11615995141

These Frogg Toggs Pilot II Breathable Stocking Foot Waders are on sale at Kittery Trading Post for $100. I haven't used them, but a lot ot people like Frogg Toggs. https://www.kitterytradingpost.com/fishing-marine/waders-shoes/chest-hip-waders/frogg-toggs-mens-pilot-ii-breathable-stockingfoot-chest-wader-100568735.html Here's a sizing chart from https://www.froggtoggs.com/sizing-chart

Nice! Sounds like they did a great job packing it. Did you order it direct from their website?

Keitech suggests that or the 3" Swing impact in the videos at the bottom of this page. https://www.keitechusa.com/catalog/guard-spin-tungsten-jigs.html I have also used a 2" curly tail grub with that jig.

Congratulations on 25 years!

Bummer. That was just the same video they posted on FB. I expected more info.

Shimano just posted a short video on FB: https://fb.watch/4kFwUEtdP3/

Shimano has a youtube premier tomorrow.

Lead jigs are banned where I live so I don't have a choice. I have tried tungsten jigs from Keitech, Eco Pro and Bass Pro Shops. Keitechs are my favorite. There are several models to choose from. Here are two choices. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Keitech_Tungsten_Casting_Jig_Model_1_Version_2/descpage-KCJM.html https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Keitech_Tungsten_Football_Jig_Model_2_Version_2_/descpage-KTFJV2.html None of them were cheap except these BPS ones. I didn't really care for the quality. You get what you pay for. Bass Pro Finesse Tungsten: https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-xps-tungsten-finesse-jig

I would get the Daiwa Fuego over those two reels. $85 on Amazon. If you don’t like the Fuego, I would get the Pro Qualifier 2 over the Revo X because it has a dual braking system with both centrifugal and magnetic brakes. Both reels are made by Doyo.

After hearing horror stories, I don't trust checking in a rod tube, so I have a couple multi piece travel rods that fit in the overhead bin. I have a Daiwa Ardito 3 piece 7'M casting rod. Fit and finish is great and comes with a hard tube case you can put in the overhead. Although it's listed as M power, it feels closer to MH and is rated for 1/4-3/4. I'm pretty happy with it and will probably buy the 7'M spinning rod too. https://daiwa.us/collections/travel-packs/products/ardito-tr-travel-rods I also have a Field and Stream Tec-Lite 4 piece 6'6"ML spinning rod I got from Dicks for $60. It comes with a hard tube that fits in my check in suitcase or overhead bin. Although it rated as ML it feels more like a L. I don't recommend this rod for bass as it doesn't have much power to set the hook. I have used it for trout instead, but I'm sure there are better choices. https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/field-stream-tec-lite-spinning-rod-15fnsufstclt56lsprod/15fnsufstclt56lsprod Daiwa has a lot of travel rods you might want to check out. https://daiwa.us/collections/travel-packs I randomly had this in my youtube feed the other day from Daiwa Australia on how to pack rods for travel. Must have be for you @Mr. Aquarium Safe travels.

I like watermelon in the summer and green pumpkin in the fall. ?

I never knew this. Thanks for explaining. I have a few spincast reels for when nieces and nephews visit. Anyone have recommendations for mono line brand for spincast reels in the 4 to 10lb range?

The one labeled "new" is the CU200PGK which is a 5.0:1 cranking reel with 21" IPT line retrieve. PG stand for "Power Gear." https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/shimano-curado-200-k-baitcast-reel#repChildCatid=10277407 The other listing is for the 6.2:1, 7.4:1 and 8.5:1 speed reels https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/shimano-curado-k-saltwater-baitcast-reel#repChildCatid=4800057 Academy has them as two separate listings while Shimano list them all on the same product page. https://fish.shimano.com/content/fish/northamerica/us/en/homepage/Shimano_Product_Page.P-CURADO_K.html

Nice but is that a Daiwa rod? Not sure that is legal. ? In all seriousness, what rod is that?

5" Senko, color # 297 Green Pumpkin with black flake

Good recommendations above. Some new ones for me to try. I will add that Costco branded bourbon is surprisingly good.

I can throw on casting but prefer to throw it on spinning. I some times use a swivel and leader too. Throw it into down trees and it give it twitch and it gets bit on the fall. I also prefer the strike king caffeine shad.

100+! Now we know the real reason why they are sometimes sold out. I only have 9 Shimano's, but they all have a little play or they are doing what Phish Li said. As everyone else has said, everything is normal. Just go fish and have fun!

Great video! Thanks Glenn!

I've taken the boating safety course given by the Coast Guard Auxiliary here in Massachusets. It was great and I learned a lot about rules and safety. I totally recommend it. I have never owned a boat, but took the course to prepare myself to buy one someday. I left the course wondering if there were any courses that taught more about boat operation. Something like auto driving school. Any suggestions or did everyone just learn by doing or from a parent or friend?
