How long to become a good angler?
I will never be as good as I want to be. I live by a moto " Don't practice until you get it right, practice 'till you can't get it wrong, so I figure a lifetime should just about do it

Favorite Siebert jig color?
I am convinced that 99% of the time, and regardless of techniques, you only need Black/ blue Green pumpkin And possibly a brown mix
- Smallmouth Bass and Topwater colors

Favorite fluorocarbon?
The Edge may be the best kept secret out there. Tried some last year, and I could easily go "all-in" with it.

Heck, I have CB'S with 10 and 20 lb braid. Have never experienced a "digging in" problem

Power pro original vs sufix 832 vs pp super slick
Got it..... I have 832, smackdowwn and Gamma on rigs today and am very happy.

Power pro original vs sufix 832 vs pp super slick
If you are happy, why change? I went 832 as it sinks better for jigs and still worked well for top water. Additionally, I can use 10 and 20 lb and have NEVER encountered digging in. You can drive yourself crazy with this crap...... Lately I have been looking at Fins, but I chalk that up to the Winter dulldrums.

Can you swim
Swimming and water survival are 2 separate things and if you can't do both with clothes and shoes on, you should have a PFD. Having witnessed a few accidents, I tie a piece of 1 inch nylon webbing 12 inches long to the bow and Stern. Just enough to throw an arm through to catch a breath. Adding a strap to the bottom rung of a ladder also helps.....don't ask how I know this

Boating license?
In the beginning NH licensed boaters were having problems with Maine taking the reciprocal. I believe that since the classes now mirror each other, reciprocity is no longer an issue

Why color your braid?

Personal Favorite Lure
Nothing beats the excitement of a top water hit, but a 1/2 ounce jigs is also hard to beat

Why on earth would anyone spend $400 on a bass rod?
Wow, this thread is still going on! Almost makes my eyes bleed. Regardless of cost, it is cheaper than therapy!

Any Sufix Nanobraid Users ?
I haven't seen any 10 lb Braid that didn't work well on a spinner. Some colors last longer than others but most will fade. I use 832 for that application as it sinks better than others. If fade bothers you swap ends after 2 yrs and get 4 yrs out of it

I will never tell a man how to spend his money, but if I was counciling a noob, I would say that the jig rod is where he should focus extra $$$'. The GLX is as high as I am prepared to go.

No first hand experience, but the reviews are all over the place. If I was just going by what a quick search produces, I would move on......

Hi-Vis braid
Most of my set-up are braid to leader and about 1/2 a dozen need new line. I am going to try a few Hi-Vis set up some for spinning and a few BC. I have read a lot of threads, but can't get a feel for those that did it and want back. I will likely be going 832. Thanks for any input Al
