Out here on the pond early today! Had one hit the Plopper so far but jumped and spit the hook on me. I hate that.

Wear your glasses!
Always have them on and I always have a backup pair in the truck just in case. I took a 3/4 oz punch rig to the chest the other day. That felt bad enough, never mind taking that to the eye. The polycarbonate lenses are designed to spiderweb and not shatter, but scratch much easier than the glass lenses. I'd rather keep my eye than worry about a scratch any day.

Is it normal to not catch anything?
I get skunked all the time in the summer. I'm looking for the big ones. If i run into 3-4 dinks so be it. No fish doesn't bother me that much. I'm still on the water and doing what I love doing.

Question: Dual Lock Snap Sizes?
I swung by BPS to double check this. It appears that with straight snaps,the lower the # the smaller the snap. Same with split rings. However the opposite if you look at swivel snaps. Looks like I was wrong. It's not a uniform rule but should be.

Line for Deep Cranks
^^^^^ This. I use 13# for swim jigs and wake baits. Fantastic line. Plus it wont break the bank.

Does power effect sensitivity?
I can see guides,line and the material used in the blank contributing to sensitivity. Power and action have nothing to do with it. Your ability to feel and react with your own two hands are the contributing factor.

The action determines how fast you get to the backbone.

If you could live anywhere
I might buy a houseboat on Kentucky lake to start. Just won powerball so i'll have plenty of money to travel to fish Table Rock,St. Clair and Mille Lacs.

What happens if you use line that is not recommended for the reel
You go to prison. For a verrrrrry loooooooong tiiiiiiiiiime. Id throw a MH fast action rod in that arsenal. Almost like the Swiss army knife of bass rods.

Any member actually use the Teckel Sprinker Frog - Thoughts?
If the Aug 15 is from TW, it's a soft date not hard. I've seen the date move more than once. Also i think that's when they get them back in stock,not when you will receive it.

Mark Zona's "shark knot"
Tied one of these today. Wet the line,cinched it down and cut the tags. Gave it a good tug and of course it broke at the knot. Re tied with a Palomar and good to go. I'll stick with the palomar.
