I don't use real shallow spools and use tape. Never failed me.

Hi vis braid to leader with a neko hook and don't look back

Tatsu, Sniper and Invisx covers all my FC needs with Tatsu leading the way.

Sadly, all my 28 year old clothes have shrunk.....I toild my wife not to put them in the dryer

Great stuff! That said the Nikwax you use in your washing machine is even better. To get the best results use the wash product first.. If your pants are leaking through the seat, it is pressure through the stitches....I would Nikwax, wash, washing machine protect. Spray the stitching ......Done!

I had to change my hook set to improve my landing rate for CB. For most of my techniques I use the rod to move the bait but found that it shortened my swing. I now point the tip of the to the rod directly to the bait.....sharpen my hooks and straight braid. It works for me

The PR uses a bobbin and it is the best knot but labor intensive at first

Birds have to eat too!

I stand corrected.....I throw mine on a spinning gear and it is just heavier and faster DS

Wow.....initially thought SI and still think so, but thinking about how I fish DI is the crutch I rely on in more in the spring and fall. Good thought provoking question.....The short version.....I could SI to get the info I get from DI but not the reverse

I am running 31 tanks and Odyssey for cranking and have the same story as Andy. Given you can’t tell the cost of something until the accounting period is over, it sure seams to me AGM is the way to go until technology and price gives me a reason to change

Hitena 12 strand or silky is about as smooth as you can get, but it comes with a heavy cost.

I use braid to leader for weightless senko as I need the visual assistance. Of your list...Invisx, if it was me, tatsu

I read all the post and looked up a few of the formulas and am amazed that all the wicked smart ( Boston voice) post don’t answer the op’s question ?. To the OP, keep pointer finger under the line. That said, I will reach out to the Wicked Smart anglers when I need need to help my grandkids with there arithmetic homework ?

As my father would say “old-man strong”.....much respect!

30# braid or 11# Defier Armilio (sp)

You can get a used Met MGL for appx 25.00 more

Cant speak to the truth, but dealers do it before delivery every day

I slipped a disc just watching it. ?

I often remove the skirts from spinnerbaits and buzzbaits and leave a trailer on. I just have better luck

The rod has more to do with casting distance, that said, given the same rod, “most anglers” with varying weights would get more distance out of a Met DC or Antares DC......or Conquest Calcutta 100 DC.

I always have a trailer but not always a skirt?

Heck, I have twin 93’s and want to upgrade, but the stress and learning curve still intimidates me. Maybe next year
