Most companies have free shipping for a min. amount, I always can find enought items to ship free.

When I began back fishing the first of the year, I had never tries FC and thought my Trilene mono was all I need. After a little research, I tried the Sunline Sniper and now that is all I use. it really throws to me like mono and i use 20# test on two of my reels. It is a little expensive but I spooled up in the springand it is still on my reels.

Like most PowerPro hi-vis yellow on my spinning with FC leader.

I use the 10# Super 8 Slick with 7# leader on my spinning rod. No problem with the knot going through the guides. It is like it has no knot.

Well he's probably went home and measured it himself. Looks like mine is 8 3/8 x 12.

Zoom U Tail in Junebug, hard to beat around these parts.

Since starting back fishing the first part of the year, I never heard of the Ned Rig. Only in the last two month have I heard of it and now it is all I want to throw. This rig will catch fish.

Any gift card is fine with me. Easy on the giver and makes me happy, a win win situation. I like the Visa cards. You can use them anywhere.

Got a new St Croix spinning rod 6'9" ML for Ned Rig and Drop Shoting, would like to work on both of these techniques next year.

If you are fishing with a buddy, 14 ft is min., longer is better if you going to use a trailer. If you fish by yourself 10-12 ft will work.

Can't go wrong with Sniper. I think it's the best FC on the market.

Just choose reel you like, all handle braid pretty well. I like Lew's.

Use Sunline Sniper FC, best I used. To me, it cast like mono. Cost a little more than some of the other FC but well worth it. I do use mono on topwater and some crankin'.

It's a shame that you can't go fishing or any activity or just going some where, that you have that threat of someone shooting you. This happen just a few miles from my house. If someone tries messing with me they will have to answer to "The Judge" and he is not in a court room.

I tried both and really perfer the TRD, you have to really work with the Zinker Z to get it to float, I soak and stretch them and sometimes it is really too much trouble when the TRD works great. Really I don't think bass really care which one you use. If they get that picky, I need to take up golf. Wait a minute, I do play golf. Great article though.

The Balancer Removeable Butt Cap is the one I use. You can use the weights provided or quarters or both.

Don't think that just because it is cold that they are not in the shallows. I use to fish a 12 acre lake and caught bass in the shallows year round.

I start it with a small screwdriver, then I use some needlenose pliers to remove it so it doesn't fly off.

Sounds like you have a great plan, stick to it !!!

Carolina Rig, jigs, frogging, use with 50# braid.

Same here, jerkbaist is hard to beat any time of year. If you don't know what to throw, throw a jerkbait.

I start using a single Colorado blade, also a Smithwick Rogue jerkbait. If those two don't work, I use a 4" finess worm. Since here lately I started using the Ned Rig, I would probablt have one of those tied on also.

Just ordered some Power Pro yellow braid for my spinning reel. Old eyes just can't see as good as they use to.

I missed those old shows. Jimmy Houston has now a show on internet, Jimmy Houston Legends. Shows old and new shows.
