I too use these around the house....should probably get a couple for the boat

Deet on my cover, shirt collar, sleeve, pant hems. .....necktee as needed

I would use a clip over a split ring....I hat the sharp edges of a split ring.. if I was going with one, it would be an oval

You won’t be disappointed! i have a bunch of the older ones with upgraded gears and they are awesome. That said the previous version can be had at a discount

When younger I had a RX 7 and it had the Wankel engine. There was just something about driving that in the era of the big V8’s that was fun. I would not put it in the category of best, but was a novelty at the time

????I think I am the only guy in the universe who can not tie that knot, sad,I know?

DVT did a great job on mine a couple years ago and TT was great this year. For me it is well worth the time and expense in the off season.

A few years ago I found myself doing the lake clockwise. As the wind was always changing there were times that I wanted to approach things counter clockwise. After realizing the lack of accuracy, I spent much more time on the backhand cast. It doesn’t take long to improve good luck

Tie direct No need for swivel

Fishing 42 degree water is my Achilles Heel. Got 3 like this today all on NEKO at choke points from the main lake.

a little hydrogen peroxide can go a long way in a situation like that . you would not be the first

Seeing line and processing that information as bad may be a bridge to far. Remembering it from one day to the next is even more of a stretch just my humble opinion

Watching the rate of fall at the boat is not the same with a long cast because of the amount of line out. 16# is also a tad heavy for finesse presentations. I use my rod to move baits 90% of the time and once you get used to it, it’s second nature. If you really want to get good, switch to braid on a couple set-ups

I got the same thing when I went from braid to FC for JB. I have settled on Defier and it’s a great compromise. Less stretch than many FC’s...... additionally, if your using the right rod, your drag can be snugged up a bit

Shimano Calcutta Conquest reel on Shimano/Loomis Conquest rod X2 Helps to have a relative in the industry

I use a lot of Yellow, Pink and Orange in 10 and 15 #test. Orange stands out the best, but only by a weeeee bit

Cowboys for the win.....at least for the draft

As age is nipping at my heals, I am finding my hands are having a hard time keeping up, especially when cold. For years I have been using mitts when droving the boat and spring/sun gloves when temps are in the 40's. It time for a change and I wonder what others are using at this time of the year to fish with. So far latex gloves with heat packs on my wrist have worked best. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance

Most drop one size, and most manufacturers have interactive tools to help guide you

MANY reputable retailers have a major presents on EB and often run specials there that are not on their home site. Looks good from here!

Bingo I have that set-up and its awesome. I don't think you need to spring for a 20 Met, but its your money. That said, if $$ isnt an object, you can find Conquest MBR's for 400.00

One word “goats” ???

^^^^^^^^this

It depends.....I run a Lund Impact which is more of a multi-species boat. It is tough with the wind in open areas. Pre-Spawn usually put me on points, drop-offs and choke points....al are tough on my lake in 15 mph NW wind. When it comes from the SW, it is easier. S o your answer is....."It depends"

Every year, I try to put mono or FC on a few more of my rigs and usually go back to braid. Matt from Tactical Bassin did a great video on braid and mostly uses braid to leader combinations.....it is worth a look-see.
