I like rods with thread sleeves like these but I don't really like the colors / look of these. http://www.mudhole.com/Fuji-Perfect-Fit-Carbon-Thread-Covers?gclid=CKuEou7WndQCFQqRaQodnf0LGw What are some other options to put there.

Is there a way to get the time on a Humminbird 698

@youngangler274 Does Wisconsin have a continuous open season for bass, or do you have to wait until the beginning of May to target them?

What part of Lake of the Ozarks would you fish in late March/ early April?

Can you explain what guide designs can allow for it, and do you recommend using a locking wrap? thanks

Will I need to use a locking wrap with size 5 casting guides?

I was looking on the Basspro website and can't find the Ascend FS12T kayak. Did they stop making/selling it, or am I missing something?

I was browsing around and found the netcraft jmx's. The dimensions are almost identical to MHX. Are they the same? Also, I found this from Jann's Netcraft " They compare very favorably to rod blanks from a major US rod maker that became unavailable in November 09 " What are they referring to? Thanks

Are there any tapered- come shaped ones

Does anyone know if/where I can get an aluminum one of these? http://www.mudhole.com/Tapered-Rubber-Winding-Check-for-16mm-Reel-Seats

I'm looking at buying a humminbird 698 ci hd si. Does anyone have any experience with this one. And what are some pros - cons. Thanks

If I trim the threads will I have problems if I put a different reel on it? or are they pretty much a standard size?

I'm building a casting rod and don't want a foregrip. I'm thinking about just using an aluminum winding check. Will this work, and what are some other alternatives? I think some pictures would be helpful. Thanks for all your help.

How do you locate and catch bass after the fall turnover? What depths are they going to be at, and what tactics have you had the most success on? I'm in Wisconsin. Thanks for all your help.

Do any of you guys use spiral wrapped guides on your rods? If so, are there any downsides to it, and do you use it on all your casting rods or just for certain techniques?
