Finger issues after Fishing
could be simple changes related to arthritis but sounds like more of a tendinitis issue. Could talk with md about using anti-inflammatory mess or injecting the extensor muscles. Either should result in significant improvement within 48 hrs

How big is your tackle bag?
Currently using soft bag from Academy holds 5 Plano 3600 boxes one for spinner/buzz baits, 2 for crankbaits, 1 for crawls/lizards/frogs and the last for jigs. 2 side pockets carry plastic worms,tube baits, flukes etc and also has storage sleeve for pliers. Definitely more tackle than I can use on any given trip but makes me feel better so it works for me. Remainder of tackle stored in extra Plano 3600's and changed out as situation dictates

Spiderwire EZ Braid
Have used spider wire ultra cast for years with great results in fact my only source of frustration was how difficult it could be to pull snagged lures free from unseen underwater obstructions, usually was able to move boat without breaking the line necessitating cutting off the line rather than risking a broken or damaged rod. However about two weeks ago I was at local wal mart and needed some new braid so I picked up a couple of rolls of 20# Ez braid to try. What a disappointment this turned out to be in three trips I have experience 4 line failures during long casts and lost two really nice fish n jumps with 5' of boat. All told this has cost me about $32.00 in line since the remainder will be going in the garbage can and $45 in lost lures and tackle. Not sure what others experience has been but would strongly advise you to steer clear of this product

The Found Lures Thread
Lady Luck smiled on me this weekend had a nice bass hit my KVD frog and pull into some really thick milfoil and lily pads. Struggled to turn the fish and frog was thrown on its first jump into some brush. 10 min later and many thanks to some 20# braided line I was able to break a limb free so I could retrieve my frog. Much to my surprise I was also able to retrieve a nice chartreuse colored terminator Spinnerbait and couple of Norman little N's. All in all not a bad day in east Tx.

Tackle ID
Seem to recall my grandfather having something similar that he used in the late seventies (1978/1979) for pan fishing. Sorry couldn't be of more assistance.

What gear ratio do u throw your SB and Med diving CB with?
I use reels with two different gear rations 5.4:1 and 6.4:1. The slower retrieve ratio is very useful when trying to keep lures in strike zone just a little longer and when fish activity slows down
-
Parallel or Perpendicular?
My personal experience has shown that the best approach can vary greatly depending upon general mood of the fish, water temperature/conditions, and skies clear vs overcast, etc

Abu Garcia Max Winch?
Purchased one of the Max winch reels off of eBay (new in package) and was totally disappointed. Reel was fairly smooth especially give the fact it only had 5 bearings but could not get it to cast more than 30 yds for anything.
