Fingers/Hand Issues - too much fishing?
I am 67 and don't have much joint pain. I do stretches and walking. I also take glucosamine chondroitin and apple cider vinegar with mother every morning. May not work for everyone but it does for me.

How have you simplified soft plastic choice?
I am half way there. I have limited my colors to green pumpkin and june bug. I might try some more colors, but basically these are my 2 main colors. As far as shapes, this is where I am weak. I try all kinds of lizards. worms, craws. If a new shape comes out, it is at least 2 packs.

Do you ever get used to split grips?
No. I don't like split grips. All of my rods, but one, are full cork handles. Maybe I just too old to change. The only rod that is split is my pitching rod. I throw all of my off shore fishing with two hands and I really like the way cork feels.

Anything Z Man or Yamamoto.

Lowrance LMS-332C not working
According how old it is, you may not even find a transducer that would work. I would probably just buy a new one, you can get a new one for pretty cheap now days with GPS.

Spinnerbait help
I use mostly single Colorado, whether it is clear or stain. If fishing shallow, I will keep it just under the surface. It is really what you have confidence in.

Got this Lew Childre reel. Need some knowledge!
Probably in the 80's, great reels. I still have 2 of them. Gear ratio is 4:3.1. Good crankbait reel.

Garmin Striker Plus Quickdraw width?
If the creek is 20 feet, it will draw all of it. Seems like when I record through Quick Draw it is pretty wide, wider that I thought it would. To get to Q D, you will have to go to the navigation charts then hit menu, then quick draw contours, last. start recording.

Reel on a crank bait rod
I have always used a 5.1:1 ratio, no use to change now. I like and use Lew's BB1. I pair that up with a Lew's David Fritts Perfect Crankbait rod with 14# mono, Sunline Supernatural. Put on a Bandit crankbait and I am ready to go !!!

Budget friendly recommendation for crank rod?
Couldn't agree more. Have both Med. and Med./Heavy. I only wish they still made the 6'6" for short range shallow crank baits. I think they are $79 at most stores.

Cleaning your sunglasses
My eye doctor sells a bottle of cleaning solution and a small rag. I use this to clean my sunglasses/glasses and also my screen on my fish finders. I keep several at home and one in my boat.

what rod power for finesse fishing?
Think you are making a good choice in getting the med. I tried M/L but just wasn't satisfied with it. Got a Lews 6'6" med/f and love it.

Racheting Winch
After seeing the Fulton F2 on your boat, I ordered one for my Lowe last night, been thinking about getting one for a while. Had to get free shipping so I ordered some Boat Buckles along with it. ?

What’s your favorite rod and spinning reel?
Lews Custom 6'6" med/f with Pflueger Supreme XT with Power Pro 10# test with 7# leader Sunline Sniper.

Is my setup good for fishing the ned rig?
I think your rod is perfect. I use a Lews 6'6" med/f. I tried med/light but just didn't work for me. You just have to see what hookset you need to use. Mostly it is just lifting the rod and reeling fast. I use 10# test braid with 7# leader, you 6#test should be fine. I probably used the Ned rig at least 60% of the time. Just stick to the 1/15 oz heads and don't over work the bait.

U Tailed Worms.......
Great worm, use to use them all the time but kinda got away from them. I know I got some in the boat, might have to break them out next trip. Thanks for the reminder !!!
