backing up the boat trailer
If I had to look back to back a trailer, it would take a while. I learned to back using mirrors. Worked for a public electrical utility for 41 years and backing a trailer is just something you have to learn. Just seems natural to me now.

To what degree does stealth play a part in your bass fishing?
I don't do anything special to be stealthy or quite. My Reservoir has a lot of boat traffic and is always a little muddy or stained. Having said that, I am normally pretty quite quite fishing since I fish by myself the majority of the time.

BPS Shakey Heads.
Exactly right. I have been using these for the past 4 or 5 years. Seems like they always hook in the top of the fishes mouth. Hardly ever loose a fish with them. Well worth the money.

So what's your other obsession?
When I not fishing, I play golf. I work a few days at my course to finance my golfing and fishing, also get free golf. I also play guitar. I live 1 mile from the golf course and 3 miles from my fishing hole.

Moving bait color question
Buy and choose colors your have confidence in. I may be doing it wrong but I am very limited to the colors I throw. Yes I have a lot more colors but that is to take up space in my boxes.

Shaky Head popularity?
My best worm rig is a shakey head on a Zoom Trick worm. Not using it finesse, fish it on 16# line.

Flat sided crankbaits?
I have been using the Frittside 5 for the last 4 years. It has been my top producer every year, I also throw it all year long. The only downside is the bill is a little fragile.

Ned rig heads
I have always used a #2 hook and have never bent or broke one. The key is having your drag set correctly. I think using bigger hooks and heavier heads defeat the purpose of the ned rig. The head I use has a single wire weed guard, yep lose some but get lots of bites.

Bandit
Love the Bandit 100. Probably been using them since they came out. I use them them because they are cheep and they catch fish!!! They first came out in my state, Mississippi, I think it was in Sardis.

Is It Worth Putting U-40 Cork Seal On Expensive Rods?
Use it on all my cork rods, always have, always will.

I don’t think I’m buying any tackle for 2026
Don't say NO MORE TACKLE, you don't need that negatively in your life!!!

U40 Cork Sealer
Looks like my jar and I would use it. If you don't like the results, you can always lightly sand it off.

American Legacy Fishing
Had a similar situation. Ordered a rod that showed in stock. A week went by and I never heard from them, Called and they said the rod was not in stock and I would get a refund. After 2 days I called them and they said it would be 2 week before I get a refund, I ask why, They said it was their policy. I told them that it is illegal to hold someone money like that and if I didn't get my money tomorrow I would call their state attorney general office, Got my refund the next day,

soft plastics in plastic boxes?
I keep my plastics in the bag and store them in different buzbe quik qubes. I don't want a plastic box on deck when I am fishing. I know that I will probably at some point in time knock it off with the top open and will have to sort out 100 plastic worms.
