What was your first confidence bait?
First confidence bait was a Texas rigged senko with an 1/8 oz bullet weight unpegged. Current confidence bait is probably a finesse jig if around cover, wacky rig senko if not.

San deigo jam knot????
I like the san Diego jam for treble hook baits with my copolymer. Single hook baits I use a Palomar. Could also look at the double san Diego jam for lines under 15lb test. After that it gets to be a cumbersome knot.

I plan to go in the morning for maybe 45 before heading home from work. All I grabbed was the dreaded frog rod.

Line Color: Which Is Best, Or Does It Matter?
I use color more as an indicator as to what pound test it is. Hi vis green 50lb, mossgreen 30lb, and ocean blue 15lb. I use moss green p-line cxx copolymer as a leader.

Favorite Pocket 9mm?
I had a sig 938, 9mm it was one of the most accurate pistols I had shot until I bought my glock 17. The sig 238, .380 is the same gun just smaller and a smaller caliber. It's pricey for a subcompact, but worth it with the build quality of sigs

Copies/Knock-offs that are better than the original?
I haven't found an instance where a knockoff is better, maybe just as good But not better.

How big is your tackle bag?

When is Enough, Enough?
I have hit the point of "enough is enough" for me. I know what I like to throw and what works in the water I fish. I dont get out as much as I would like with working 60hrs a week and with a baby on the way. I de-cluttered earlier in the year and stocked my stepdaughter and wife's tacklebox and they were tickled pink...til a box came in the mail from tackle warehouse. Lol. I'm done buying until I run low on something.

How big is your tackle bag?
I have a bps bag. It's very large. It has 8 3600 size boxes. Jigs, trailers, flipping baits, deep water plastics, square bills, deep divers, jerkbaits/lipless cranks, and terminal tackle. Plus extra reel, spool of line, pliers, clippers, binder full of spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, 1/2 gallon freezer bag of senkos, sandwich bag of finesse worms and a cherry on top! Lol. I always take it with me when I go fishing, but sometimes if I know what the bite is or what it should be I'll only grab my pliers and a 3600 size box and toss some terminal tackle in there and leave the rest in my truck. Do I need all that tackle with me when bank fishing? probably not. But is it nice having the tools needed to get the job done when I figure out what the pattern isn't? Heck yeah it is
