Go to balsa squarebills?
Take a look at the Rapala Brat. Balsa interior and plastic coated. Makes it a little more bullet proof. Best of both worlds. They have a 3’ and 6’ dive to models and about 15 color selections for $10.

What can I do, if anything, to fish the bottom of a mucky pond?
Less dense weight got me thinking. Rotating jig head minus the hook. Anybody got a better idea?

what is a good flutter spoon to try
I have had good success with Little Cleo’s in hammered nickel and blue. When shad are present its lights out. 1/3 oz on moderate fast rod.

Float n fly with soft plastics
Use a Maribor jig or berkley powerbait minnow under float. I’ve caught bass up to five lbs.

Been a week, not a single bite.
My local muni lake is highly pressured. Everyone throwing stikbaits for months and fish are on to it. Tied on an online blue fox spinner with a prism blade and decided to fish the middle of the lake. Had four bites and three fish. It was a hoot getting the rod jerked like a ton of bricks.

Live bait hooks
If you are of that persuasion, I would use an owner mosquito hook. Small but extremely strong. =<3” #2 4-7” size 1-1/0. Very sharp And strong and easy to extract with no damage.

Shipping nightmares
Midway shipped my reel nine days ago. Still waiting. Their tracking is poor. Shows it was turned over to post office three days ago for delivery with no further updates. Yuk.

Yum Dingers
I’ve gravitated away from dingers three years ago (too light, too stiff) to stiko. My home lake highly pressured so I mainly use 3”. BPS has a good color assortment in that size. Weightless in pad holes from shore. Color of choice is sprayed grass account for 90% of my stick bait catches. Five packs a year does it. Average 3-5 fish per bait. I find $9/pack to be unreasonable Mr. Yamamoto!

Does anyone use spoons?
Yep, spring and fall when shad are present. Can be lights out. Hammered blue and nickel little cleo 1/3 oz. had 22 strikes one afternoon in September.

Kastmaster Spoon size for bass?
I tend to favor Little Cleo in 1/3 hammered blue and nickel. Two of my top five most epic fish catching days have come on this spoon. Switch out the hooks. I guess u go with what u have confidence in. Catch em up.

Do people want too much $$$ for used gear?
It happens, especially on discontinued legendary items. Some of the Abu - Blue Yonder and Mag Elites 6500 series go for more than what I originally paid for them. I won’t part with mine as they were sparingly used and at my age $400 or so doesn’t move the needle much.
