Norman speed clips on 10xd
These are the only clips I use if bass fishing, for panfish I will use duo lock snaps. https://www.amazon.com/TACTICAL-ANGLERS-Power-Clips/dp/B07KK18GRR/ref=asc_df_B07KK18GRR?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80058307957572&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583657835663667&th=1&psc=1 These take one second to put on/take off and won't bend out. The worst clips I ever used were VMC.

What Line Do You Use With Senko's?
Who made this idea up?

Install trolling motor on kayak?
Yes on the flat stern/transom. It's a standard trolling motor with the handle control like an outboard motor.

Install trolling motor on kayak?
The stern is square and they sell a $30 mount that works great with a standard trolling motor. I use a 45lb Minn Kota and Dakota lithium battery and the thing can go all day, and is super comfortable.

Install trolling motor on kayak?
Buy a NuCanoe F10 or 12, you can mount a motor right on the back. Get the optional mount to protect the hull. It's a great combo!

Kistler Chromium Reel
Why bother? Probably nothing new to see.

How did that bait turn out?
Swammers 4” on belly weighted under spin has been a go to swimbait rig for the last 3 years for me. It’s my favorite swimbait. Hella craws is a very good jig trailer, haven’t tried it on a t rig yet. I think the flat top on the swammers is what gives them their magic movement.

Best Five Overall
My PB Smallie was 23 1/4" and weighed 6.25. A couple 22" 1st was 5.75, less fat one was 5.5.

are you rubbing your soft plastics to dull them?
You guys who "don't have time to rub" your plastics....come on. What's it take two seconds while you're putting the bait on? Sheesh.

Opinions on Gloomis Conquest 783C?
Every trip out I have two 843c and one or two 844c MBR rods. I do like my 783c MBR for close cover fishing spinnerbaits, and jerkbaits though. I'd go 843 all day.
-
Floating jerkbaits
I frequently throw a 3.5” Rebel jointed minnow fished as both a jerkbait and top water bait. It casts better than an original Rapala which I also use all the time. Both have done great for me. try that new bait out!
-
Berkley stunna
I sometimes feel like I'm the only person on BR who throws Husky Jerks and catches lots of fish on them. Anyone else have luck with them? Very inexpensive too.

Favorite Ned rig jig heads.
Siebert Outdoors Morel heads are the best standard style I've thrown.

Another Shimano Price Increase
Someone should do an individual Senko to egg price ratio comparison.

Another Shimano Price Increase
Where did you see this information?
-
Landing nets
That rod storage system looks interesting. I think it wouldn't be a good fit for me though, I'd get tanged up in that thing.

Odd color topwaters/other lures
This is my favorite clear water SMB spook jr color

premium finesse casting rod ... ?
NRX 852c JWR. I have both GLX and IMX-Pro 752c rods, and think they may be my favorite rods. Great at so much. If the NRX+ is lighter weight that the GLX version it will feel like a feather in your hand. A perfect rod for all the applications you mentioned. Also an excellent 1/4 MiniMax, and 1/4oz spinnerbait rod.

What was you're best lure and set up this year?
You might lose less baits with 15lb mono, and it might be more effective too.

Any M1 Phenix Bass Rod Owner here?
Do you have the Feather in the 7'1" MH and H? You dig them?
-
Tokyo rig in winter
Tokyo rigs are really great coming through any wood/brush cover, and also really great on hard bottoms. Slow dragging them is a very successful way to fish them. In weed and wood cover I like popping them a little, and long drags too. Try them out! I like the Pit Boss, worms, and swim baits.

Cheap reel for a cheap mag heavy rod
Spend a little more and get a Tatula 150.

U-40 drying
So I received a new jar of U-40 the other day, and tried it next to the one I added water to. The old one with added water is the same exact consistency as the new one, but it doesn't work very well. So I am saying that adding water to old dried U-40 doesn't work 100%, but seems to kind of work a little.
