Dragging the bottom
if you want drag it. id try a t-rig with a skip gap hook. pegging the weight if youd like. skip gaps hold tubes up a lot better then other worm works, which is what ive used them for. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Gamakatsu_Skip_Gap_Worm_Hooks/descpage-GSGH.html?from=basres

How To Get Into Making Jigs
if you like fishing jigs and other lead head baits. id go for it and buy a lead pot and molds. itll pay for itself if you use it enough. i spent about 500 dollars got a lead pot. some lead. pins. hooks. weedguards. several colors of powder paint. and a ton of skirts. along with a brush jig mold and a punch skirt mold. i still want to get a football head. shaky jead. and swim jig mold. but thatll be later if you fish a lot it can save some money overtime

hds 9 touch bundle wiring
thanks thats what i thought. appreciate the reply

hds 9 touch bundle wiring
was looking at graphs and decided on lowrance hds 9 touch. the wiring has me confused as the manual didnt give much detail. to the best of my knowledge i just need to connect the black and red wires for power and then connect my transducers to the unit(the sonar and side scan) and then they will both power on along with the unit. is that correct? and then the yellow wire and the other extra green blue etc.. are not needed? im not worried about the gauges and music on the unit

Flipping and Pitching Reels
i have the diawa t3 and tatula 100hsl. love the tatula for skipping docks. i think its the best reel for the money. you can get them for 99 dollars on amazon compared to 150
-
Buying my first baitcaster...
i would also look at lews reels and the diawa tatula. i have 3 of the tatula 100hsl and 1 lews that cost 100. all perform great. if you do look at a tatula. amazon has them 50 dollars cheaper (new in box) than tackle warehouse

Boat Carpet
redid my boat and put in all new deck boards. pretty easy work just time consuming. we did mine in 3 or 4 nights. youtube will be your best friend along with google. we used indoor outdoor carpet glue and marine carpet. the hardest part is cutting the corners around lids. also get a good sharp carpet knife. when you cut your piece out always use orientation arrows on the back side to distinguish which way the piece will lay. if you turn the carpet wrong it will stand out. i think altogether we had about 400-500 in mine with glue. carpet. and new deck boards.

Landing a fish
we use a nett for anything over about 3 poinds. lays in the middle over the console. everytime we hook a fish the other guy reels in immediately and picks up the net. i dont think weve lost a fish at the boat the last 2 or 3 years when netting. i could probably just lip them and be fine also. but were pretty quick at netting. other guy says when hes coming up. get the net by the water and dont jab at it
