Dc reels
I have a couple. Very good for windy conditions! ...I also let novice casters use them as it reduces MY headaches not having to deal with their messes.

Drop shot - Casting or Spinning?
Both.... BC for Bubba Shot and deep presentations and when Triged Spinning for everything else. That said, as I find BC rods with similar feels or spinning rods, I will more in that direction. It's a matter of arthritis and pain for me

Favorite fishing knot

Casting accuracy?
My casting accuracy is directly proportional to the value of the item close to the target. Open water, 8 out of 10 The corner of a dock with an expensive flower vase, not so much ? For me it's a mind thing, not mechanics. It's like tree skiing,,,,,look at the snow and it is great, peak at a tree and it's a broken limb

Is itworth fishing after heavy rain?
I have found that many times it helps me find fish. Streams overflow, tributaries rise And often the fish move up to feed

Senko colors... why so many?

Drag setting: shouldn't be locked down?
The only time mine is close to lockers is when I am making long cast with jigs that have a heavy wire hook. After it is set, I quickly back it off.

I will look for the youtube link......I was having the occasional issue with it not fully seating when recovered, then it would not deploy. I have not had an issue since seeing the video Here ya go

Waterproof footwear options that are easy on the back
Simms flip-flops are as good as my custom orthotics. Heck if I had the proper sock, I would be "that guy"

Ulterra issues
The only ones that have issues with deployment don’t know how to maintain them. 3 minutes a month (tighten belt, grease bottom pin and lube shaft?) and have not had a problem in years

Totally hate it when they jump!
Adding g a link between the bait and trebles stops the bass from gaining leverage on the bait. It is less likely to be thrown since it doesn’t bind

Should I get a Bait Caster
My son is a “very part-time” angler but wanted to use a BC’er. I got him a DC and we are both less frustrated. I wanted him to learn with a standard one, but hated all the vulgar language when he birdnested. ?

Knee pain!
Catt, sorry to hear that. the ham string is a group of 3 muscles and stretching /micro tear, of one close to the knee is common as we get older. Luckily it heals on its own providing we behave .. The difficult thing is you feel better before it is fully healed and many reinjure it. Hope you get relief soon

Anyone have any Allergy Tips?
If the usual meds bother you treat the symptoms. Acular or Pataday (sp) for the eyes…both work great and most docs will just call it in. Flonase for nose and sinus I believe is now available over the counter. good luck
