Many years ago I kept hearing about how good lizards were. I finally bought some 6" lizards and went fishing. I caught two that day. Both very near the same size. I didn't measure the first one. I measured the second one. It was 6.5 inches on a 6" lizard.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Hope you continue to improve.

I use Sufix Siege in 10 pound test for a main line. I add a barrel swivel and then a 2 to 3 foot floro leader. I believe the the swivel helps stops line twist problems.

I use mono on some of my setups. I like Sufix Siege in 12 pound test. Use it for crank baits, spinner baits, and top waters. I use use the 10 pound test for a main line on my spinning rods. I do use floro for soft plastics and jigs. Never have tried braid.

I use my spinning setups for the same stuff you use. I use 10 pound Sufix Siege mono for my main line. I use a barrel swivel and a 2 to 3 foot leader. I also pull the the line out tight to the reel before I start reeling. I also close the bail by hand. Be careful not to over fill your reel when you put line on it. Hope this helps.

I did not do any black Friday shopping either. I also won't order anything online. Some way people have gotten my credit card number twice and the card never left my possession. There is no way I would put my credit card info on a computer. I don't use any more than I have to anyway.

Went overboard on the stuffed buzzard didn't you.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. May you not get overloaded on the stuffed buzzard.

I have a 98 175. I blew the original 40HP force motor that came with it. When I went looking for a new motor the dealer said I could go to a 75HP but if I went with a 4 stroke I could only go to a 60HP due to the increased weight. I ended up putting another 40HP on it.

Hello and welcome to the forum. A lot of your stuff can be put in plastic boxes with no problem. Soft plastics I like to leave in the original package. Then put them in a plastic box or even some large zip lock type bags. The fishing line Needs to be checked to be sure it is still good before you put it on a reel.I have not used the Sterilite boxes but they should be okay.

I have never rented any fishing equipment. Like some others posted I am not comfortable using other peoples equipment. I really wouldn't rent a lure. Chance_Taker4 got that one right.

I believe baits that look weathered and worn work better than the bright shiny ones. I saw a story about one the bass pros trying to get the shine off of his baits to make them work better.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

May you have a full recovery.

My strangest crappie catch was a 12" crappie on a 1/2 ounce War Eagle spinner bait.
