FC Sniper Issues
I had issues with it 2 years ago with the 600 yd. spool. It felt rough, not smooth. I did not realize it till I spool 4 reels. Sent it back to Tackle Warehouse for a complete refund. I think it is just the 600 yd spools, the 165 yd spool is not like that. I also read a review that they changed the 600 yd spool and it was something wrong with it. I like Sunline but will not buy the 600 yd spool.

VMC Crossover Ring sizing
Started our with 7mm on Yamamoto Senko inch but I ended up using the 5mm, did a lot better.

What are your go to crankbaits?
Either a Bandit 100 or Berkley Frittside 5. Have a bunch of other brands but these 2 get used the most.

Confusion about t-rigging hooks
Same. Also I believe the round bend has better hook ups than the hard bend or offset.

Anyone fish roboworms?
I use Robo worms on a shakey head, works great!!! Morning Dawn and Aaron's Magic are my top 2 colors.

Spinnerbait reel
I am throwing spinnerbaits and bladed jigs on the same outfit. I use a 7 ft 3 Dobyns heavy, which is a light heavy on a Daiwa Tatula 100 6 speed with Daiwa 16 lb. fluoro line, works for me. I mostly try to work my spinnerbait just under the surface, just where I can barely see it.

They also match your seats!!!

American Legacy backorder
I ordered a rod that showed in stock but was not. I told them I wanted a refund and they told me it would be 2 weeks. I told them that in was against the law to hold someone's money (don't know it that's true) and I was filing a complaint with PayPal. They told me to hold on a minute, they came back and said that I would have my refund by the end of day. Two hours later I had my refund.

must have lure colors
I try to keep it simple. Chartreuse and white or some shade of green pumpkin for all three. Works for me.

Lowe Stinger 195
That's a great looking boat. I am sure you will love it!!! I own a 1997 Lowe Roughneck 170. It has been a great boat. Has never leaked a drop in 27 years!!! Good luck with it.

How many lures catch 80% of your bass?
Most of my fish are caught on a Junebug Trick worn with 1/8 shaky head or a crankbait, either a Frittside 5 or a Bandit 100 Tenn Shad. Yep, I fish shallow water nearly year round.

In search of a bladed jig rod…
Exactly my choices with the edge going to the Dobyns.

Big fan also. Glad he is back at BASS. I was hoping this would happen!!

MLF BPT B&W Trailer Hitches Stage One
Anybody notice that there are 2 less commentators, Rob Newell and Marty Stone. Wonder if they got the axe or will they be on later. I say they got booted just like a bunch of anglers next year get. I don't care for FFS one way or they other but to me it is sure boring to watch. Could Randy B be right!!!

It's part of your virus protection. It keeps you from being tracked, I think. Mine is Malwarebytes.

I get this message every now and then from various sites when I have the privacy connection on. I can turn it off and I can connect to those sites. Don't know if this is your problem but it might be worth a try.

Who do you insure your boat and tackle through?
Been with State Farm for 45 years. Never had a boat claim but a few with the vehicles and house. They have always been great.

Split Rings
I have solved the problem, if there is a problem, using split rings, quit using them. I take off all split rings and use a snap. Three years ago I would argue that snaps are bad, don't use them. I don't know if I got lazy or smarter. In the 3 years, I have never had a problem using snaps and I throw a lot of crankbaits, a lot!!!
