30 lb braid to leader would be extremely versatile.

Those differences is exactly why once I settled on a specific brand all my rods are that brand

I like a medium for a lot of treble hook baits, but like said above I can't imagine throwing a spinnerbait or dragging a 3/8 oz jig with a big hook with less than a MH. It can be done but why?

I use an Amped Outdoors 18ah lithium for my 9 inch Garmin with side imaging. I'd say I get at least 14-15 hours usage out of it. The 18ah is plenty small and light enough to fit in the pod of my SS127

I have Arky and swim jigs..........I also have a couple football jigs but never use them despite throwing a jig every single time I fish.

I fish a lot of clear water quarries. I use a lot of braid without a leader. I do all right with that.

Most of the time I have seven reels with me, all are Tatula Elite's in various gear ratios.

Brown with some red strands or brown with some purple strands.

Crankbait, swim jig/paddletail, chatterbait, buzzbait.

I used nothing but Dirty Jigs until switching to Siebert. No complaints other than I wanted a wire tied skirt.

Crankbaits, jerkbaits, poppers.....

I like something in the 6' for spinnerbaits, something in the 7's for t-rigs. Although in the overall scheme of things I can easily make either work for both.

I tend to do better before the rains hit, and during the rain. Less success after the rain. But there are exceptions. There are times when the water rises quite a bit and is all muddied up I do well casting tight to shore.

Cast it out, let it sink, give it a few twitches, let it sink, repeat as you want, reel it in and start over.

I fish faster and more shallow.

I won't be specific on brands but when I first got back into fishing I bought $60-$70 combos and wondered why anyone needed expensive rods. When I bought my first expensive rod I was blown away by the difference in feel and sensitivity. Before anyone chimes in, YES, I know you can catch fish with less expensive gear.

My plan for Saturday is now moved to Sunday. I'd prefer to not fish out of my kayak in 25+ mph sustained winds.

I get as close as I can to the water entry point then with some slack in the line I wrap the line around something, usually my pliers handle, and give a yank.

I wasn't saying it was, I was just pointing out changes. I do believe the incredibly slow time they take actually filling the order is on them though. Considering their actual package and ship times are MUCH slower than anywhere else I order from.

My jig success went way up when I upgraded to a more sensitive rod. Not only that but I also had less hook sets on weeds and rocks.

I half believe her,,,,,,,I believe the reduced staff due to CA restrictions. I waited three weeks for four spools of line they had in stock. Also when you used to purchase over $50 the expedited shipping was $5, now it's more than double. TW is the only place I order from that takes that long.

I use 1/2 oz and throw it with a MegaBass OrochiXX SpecR. Tatula Elite reel on 30 lb braid.

I'd go with a jig too due to it's ability to be successful in most any conditions and time of year. That being said I'm going out tomorrow and have a jig and a spinnerbait tied on.

Not every pond has big bass. That being said I fish 5-6 days a week, mainly lakes and quarries. My biggest bass by far was caught in a 5 acre pond.
