In very deep lakes, when do you just disregard depth?
In the summer, on my home lake, I seldom catch fish below the thermocline. I usually look for cover at the same depth and improve my chances

Loud splash noise when casting
As you get better, you be be able to focus on the splash. For now learn to avoid back ash and get accurate. As your accuracy improves, you thumb improves and the splash becomes more manageable. I for one, think I have better results when they hear it’s coming ?

Tube question??
The head goes through the side of the tube to effect how it falls. The ones that come out at 90 degrees tend to get hit on the fall, but get hung up more. The ones that come out on a 45 give up a little on the fall, but don’t get hung up as much

Mid to High end rod options (also what is difference in price ranges)
i Have the x and representations from Loomis, MB, Shimano, and impulse......mostly top ends. Can tell you I am becoming lesser of a fan of fast and x fast rods. The x is fast but soft. you have to ask yourself if you are going technique specific of rods with a broader range. That said, the x is not the same as a GLX MBR by a long shot.....

Feeling the bite
@Catt sums it up nicely. This year I went to high-vis line and while it feels like I took a shortcut, I am landing a lot more fish, with few gut hooked. edit.....on the fall, I keep the top of my pointer finger touching the line as line moves before the tip of the rod

Shaving subscriptions
Look for mid 60’s Gillette fat boys and buy safety blades. Nothing like old school shaves...and a heck of a lot cheaper than multi-blades. .....but don’t kid yourself, chicks dog a furry face, especially a white one ?

Changing hooks on KVD 1.5 Squarebill
........timely thread, my partner swapped out all his trebles over the Winter and his hookup ratio is through the roof. ......slightly expensive yes, but only hurts once

Need three rods for casting setups
You ask for opinions. You get opinions . Then you say you respect others opens more. Since there is no universal rules on flex, both can be right. I have an impulse top water that many say is a noodle, and I say it is perfect for my purpose. ........on a side note, expanding your budget slightly will greatly improve your option, but I am sure you realize this already

How often do you guys get skunked?
It happens, but not as much when you work on the space between your ears. I tend to see more of it when I am consciously are targeting bigger fish.

TM Battery Life?
Vmax tanks can be purchased at a discount if it is your first purchase with them. Think it was the MR 137. On a side note, I added an alternator to my cranking battery and it provides enough charge on my return trip to almost fully charge my TM batteries

First team tourney
