Ned rig head recommendations
I use Jades Jigs and also Z Mans Ned Lock. I think any hook will rust out if left long enough. I still use glue on all of mine. https://jadesjigs.com/

Bad Sunline Sniper? UPDATE!!!
Well I got my answer from Tackle Warehouse, they haven't had any issues with Sunline and they think the line will be ok to use, answer I really expected. I wrote a letter to Sunline Warranty Dept to see what they say. I did send about 10 feet of the line for their inspection, interesting to see what they think!!

Bad Sunline Sniper? UPDATE!!!
Finally got to change out on my reels. Bought the line Black Friday but just now getting around to change it. I respool 3 reels before I realized the line felt kinked or really rough. Bought the 660 yd spool. I compared it to a spool of the same I had the year before. The old line was really smooth like it should be. Anyone who has bought a resent spool of Sniper, is yours slick or rough/kinked feeling. I am wondering now if it has lost some of its strength? Would you trust it? SEE MY UP DATE BELOW!!

B.A.S.S Vs MLF
I have watched BASS since the 70's been to 5 Classics. I prefer to watch MLF over BASS. I still watch both but when both are on, I will watch MLF, which not a dink fest.

Flat sided crankbait craze - options and experiences?
I don't know if they are much different from any other flatside but the Frittside caught me a bunch of fish all year long last year. Probably my number 2 crank.

What on your boat makes your life easier?
I am thinking of getting the Ultimate Bunks. I know you got the reinforced ones, have you had any issue of sagging in the middle. Like yours, my trailer supports are 8-9 feet apart.

Spring Crappie
I use primary 11 foot jig poles made by B&M and Lews. I use a small spinning reel or a underspin on them with 6# test. I like the stand tube jig along with the Charlie Brewer grubs. My all time best jig is a solid pink hair jig made by Slater jigs,

Seaguar Basix
Been using Sunline Sniper for a looong time. Use the Double San Diego jam knot, I learned it as the Jimmy Houston knot in the 80's, never has a knob to turn loose or break at the knot.
