I use a rubber net solo. It’s heavier but not that bad I edited my original post after thinking about it, because heavy is relative to the person doing the lifting.

Thanks, just did some research. I hadn't seen the flexvolt batteries before

I currently watch them on the Comet channel but don't remember seeing that one yet

Can you run the 60V batteries in 20V tools or did you mean 6.0AH batteries? I'm also all in on the Dewalt 20V

So you are just long lining from the bank. Been done from boats for years

I switched to rubber because of the trebles hooking in the others. I'm usually netting my on fish and it is pretty heavy using one handed. I wouldn't switch back though

So is it the builder that makes these expensive? Like a piece off art. I'm pretty sure a first year woodworking student could kick 10 of these a day out so I don't understand it I'm also a guitarist and don't understand why people pay $10,000 for a custom shop guitar. So I may just be cheap

Lot of fishing research has led me to believe that in dirty water, the green colored crawdads can just safely swim around because the bass are eating the blue hued ones. In clearer water it's reversed and the darker color crawdads are safe

Bass pro has a house branded worm called floating worm

There was a series of cranks called back stabber that had the front treble on top. Changing the rear hook to a single turned upward would make those pretty weedless

Check eBay. Alot of home pour guys sell on there.

I understand that and have to change my walking cadence as the lure gets closer to the boat because there is more line on the reel but I think most reel comparisons are assuming newer compact reels head to head

I'm guessing the spools are larger on the old reels?

Those old reels had to be slow when you were fishing with lures called Lazy Ikes

I was in the Lexington store last week. Fully stoked but like mentioned before, A bit high. I know they are brick and mortar but $10.49 for a Strike King frog?

Yes. A 6xd all day on a 7.5:1 would cripple a man

Academy has a H2O 4 1/2" listed as floating with 2 trebles

Timber tiger crank. I bought a few off eBay when they started to disappear

I use whatever comes on them until they blunt unless I want shortys. No telling how many huge pond bass have been pulled out with old eagle claws.

Those are June bugs in KY also

Tail up because I heard someone on a fishing show say that years ago. I was in sportsmans warehouse Sunday. They had some prerigged grub type musky lures. All of them were tail up

I have a Mojo crank rod, a couple BPS cranking sticks, a couple Abu winch and some Shimano Sellus crank rods. I like them all. I don't understand the need for expensive cranking rods. I have an older Fritts glass rod but I'm not a fan. It just seems too noodlie. The grips are another area that I use to pick a cranking rod by. Unlike pitching where you are cradling the reel, long casts means that you will be holding the grip and possibly the butt. They have to feel right also. I couldn't use a rod with Winn grips

When I use a snap, I put a piece of small engine fuel line around the line tie to keep it from sliding. The fuel line will occasionally slide over the snap and up the line but not often

Make sure the eye of whatever you get is large enough to go over the barb of your spinner hook. I bought some small hooks labeled as trailer hooks and they wouldn't fit over the spinner hook

Thanks guys
