Bass attractants... something to invest in?
Speaking of JJ's, don't forget to wear a HAZMAT suit while using it. Also, do not try dipping Z-Man ElaZtech in it. I found out the hard way today. I dipped the tail of a Razor Shad in it, only to see the JJ's eat away at the tail, causing the tail to fall off into the jar.

New Plano Edge Series
Besides the ridiculous pricing, these things look like they'll weigh a bit more than the originals.

No one really knows. But I think it masks human scent and the plastic scent many plastics come with. So when the fish gets the bait in it's mouth, it may be more likely to hold on to it, allowing you a second more to set the hook.

New line advice
Check your rod guides to make sure there no nicks in them. Take a Q-Tip and rub it in eye guide to see if it gets hung up on anything.

Yup. Really digging those colors. I wonder if that's glow-in-the-dark? Probably gimmicky if so, but it looks cool (to us fishermen at least).

I have 2 Feel N Reels, and they are AWESOME rods. Using mine for chatterbaits, cranks, jerks, square bills, traps. Different topic- I don't wanna whine, but it really sucks that I have to pay tax now on my TW orders. Just placed an order where I had to pay $30 in tax.

For anyone who hasn't seen this video. This is absolutely amazing, and beyond despicable. What a POS.

Are you being forced to use it? Not sure why it'd bother you so much. Just don't use it if you don't like it?

Rod upgrade advice- shimano expride
I have the 7'2" med/heavy Expride that I use primarily for jigs. For moving baits I like a little softer tip. But also want a nice backbone. You may wanna check out the Kistler Feel N Reel. I bought two recently and am in love with them. The top 1/4 of the rod is glass and it's fused with a graphite blank. Click on "details" to learn a little more. https://www.kistlerrods.com/store/klx-feel-n-reel-7-2-medium-heavy-fishing-rod.html

I think it had been posted a while back, but BPS still has 50% off all Power Pro. Good time to stock up.

Fluoro or Mono for baitcaster setup?
You plan on fishing any top water? If so, rule fluoro out.

Dedicated Chatterbait Rod
Bought a 7'2" med/heavy moderate action Kistler KLX Feel N Reel for chatterbaits and cranks. This thing is perfect for chatterbaits. It's a graphite rod but the top 1/4 of the rod is fused fiberglass.

No on the Father's Day Sale. I have a feeling TW is gonna start doing more stuff like having certain items on sale, more often. But not as many sales where there's a % off your entire order. Just a gut feeling. I could be wrong. They didn't have a tax stimulus sale this year like they have in the past. Regarding them price matching, this is from their site- https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/SupportCenter/OrderInfo/?from=basres#Guarantees

Who's had good and bad experiences with the Berkeley Choppo?
Joe Bucher Top Raider, which has been around loooong before the Whopper Plopper. *edit I see someone already mentioned this.

Just placed a TW order. They're charging sales tax now on their orders when they never have in the past. ?

I don't believe so. However, some stuff like Shimano usually won't show a sale price until you go to checkout. (even tho is said excluded in the fine print)

Seaguar Tatsu
How is the stretch on Tasu? I thought I read once that it has more stretch than most fluoro lines.
