I feel your pain think insurance companies are the biggest racket since book making

Look into stout size in s/m/L with stocking foot and breathable a must. As for wadder boots get 1 size larger then you wear korkers highly recommend

Wow that's a lot great little crank bait almost looks like a wiggle wart I may have to add 1 or 3 to my deep dive. BTW looks like your thumb was a treble hook casualty or braid line . Thanks for the review

Guess that's why it's called fishing and not catching. Been skunked many times. It's just relaxing to be near the water and to never quit !!

"Sudden stops with braid is a recipe for losing lures " is very true like mentioned the above along with positive thumb control don't for get to add some backing on the spool first ( electrical tape, mono, or floro ) reel is fine in most cases. On a side note don't keep count on how many lures you have lost or $$ in them that's just asking for a heart attack

1.5 is a productive little bugger

I actually use sts leaders

When I go for steelhead I float fish with 20lb braid to a 12 lb floro leader using a 2500 series reel and 12-6 float rod never had issues well except for wadder blow out but that is off topic

Welcome to some great bass fishing knowledge

Looks like a native also. Has all fins

Old school heldon tiny torpedo Jr clear

It's always good to have back up tackle for the back up tackle ??

Half finger rag wool gloves

Dam that bass has linebacker shoulders

I hear you . Same for myself when fishing all is just fine. It only gets better
