Senko type lures why popular when it’s inefficient
I fish a reservoir that has a lot of rip rap. The weightless Senko is one of the few lures that I can can use without getting hung up. BTW, I don't necessary fish them slow. The fish in my avatar was caught on a weightless Senko.

Thoughts on wearing a jersey even if you're not in a competition?
I say, if you like wearing it, wear it. If it protects from the sun or it is just comfortable, wear it. Personally I would not but I don't even like the pros looking like a bill board or NASCAR diver but I do get it. In the end it don't really matter.

Glue?
I believe that's what I would have done.

Bow fish finder pedestal?
What you are looking for is a RAM mount. I think they make different heights. This is the one on my boat.

trolling motor?
If you are going to just use one 12 volt battery, you will probably be limited to 55# thrust. I would suggest the Minn Kota Edge. It is your basic trolling motor but a good one. I have used one for 4 years with no trouble at all.

Looking for a <6’6” casting rod
Got this rod, it is a killer for dock fishing. My buddy told me that rod is too short, I told him that it is 3 inches longer than I use to throw back in the 70's/80's, thought I did OK with that length then.

Looking for a <6’6” casting rod
Falcon makes the BuCoo SR in 6'6" in both a M and MH. Not a bad rod for $100.

My Boat Trailer Bunk Replacement ~ video
Thanks for the video. Looks like they are going to work out great!! I really wanted them to work on my boat but they did not have the addition support that yours have. Also the ramps that I launch at are really steep, so steep, that I don't have to get in the water to launch, if fact, I could push my boat off with one hand very easy to launch when I had them on. When my bunks wear out, I might reconsider these again with the reinforcement. Glad they worked out for you.

Tying to split rings
I have never really thought about this. I have always just tie the knot, wet it, cinch it down. Where it lands is where it lands. I don't think it really matters.

Removing split rings when using snaps?
