Is it better to have a better reel or rod?
Some time it’s how you buy as much as what you buy. I still think the rod gets the nod.

Hack for Storing Jigs
I’ve never felt the need to label jigs. I guess I’m familiar enough with each jig to recognize the type weight and manufacturer by sight. I only separate types within the box and swim jigs get their own box outright. Works for me.

Are you a hammer?
My Dad said, “If it doesn’t fit, get a bigger hammer.” If I’m a hammer it’s a tack hammer.

You need to think outside of the box. Have you considered barber school?

How many, how big, and why?
I’ve been blessed to be close or relatively close to many fishing opportunities. The last few years I’ve fished bass only on a 2800 acre lake to three pools on the Columbia River and a couple of large bodies in central Washington. Strangely one of my favorite locations is a slough off the lower Columbia that is about four miles long with some attached canals. This is tidal affected and it’s close. Why? Variety. I get to fish many techniques from 18 inches to 50 feet and water that is very stained to crystal clear. I love the process of learning and bass are the species to seek if you figuring things out. Hard on the wallet but fun.

Go big or go home. I picked up these bad boys to trick out the Tatula 100’s. You can’t put a price on coolness.

We live in a capitalistic society. Development, manufacturing and packaging of products is growing but off shore. Global economy impacts US based markets. Manufacturing conglomerates can contract with multiple vendors at the same time and Brands can obtain in one month, a rod series or reel series with little capitol outlay. Then the Brand must market this new variant and rotor will seek out facesg to become Label, the tangible pro who in hopes can provide reputable promotion for the product and get paid Doing i This is the base model used by companies . Then it morphs as companies are bought outrighthere or ll seeking to grow the brand and grab a part of the market share. Before one knows it, the myths that an angler must have certain equipment to be competitive is imbedded in their phsycie and the buying begins in Ernest. Young anglers choose to get all the stuff heeled on them nd start in serious debt. All this to hopefully identify with the top tier pros. It happened in NASCAR, Golfing, Motocross and many other sports. TV bass fishing shows are little more than infomercials with 11 minutes of actual fish catching education. It’s about tournament model that can provide product exposure to the masses and find shelf space. It’s moth new.

Reels for heavier applications
This would be the situation when you would want the frame and side plate to be alloy. Something to consider.

Texas Rigging a Grub
I’ve had stellar trips pitching a T rigged Fat Albert with a 3/16 ounce sinker. I would fish behind other anglers and do well. This was well before all the high action creature baits became available.

Listen to this idea Daiwa
Okay Daiwa, your customers have a variety of hand sizes. The knobs currently offered are too small. Provide an additional set of larger size handle knobs with each reel. They cost pennies to manufacture. They are easy to change. No more slip on grips. It’s a good thing for business. Just saying. Anyone agree?
