Cabelas warranty, beware
If you get someone on the phone that says they will exchange it be sure you get their name and what days and hours they will be there.

Serenading my fishing partner into fishing with me tonight. It will work, right?
It may depend on how good your singing voice is as whether it will work. Mine would tell me to shut up or she would grab some ear plugs.

What is your go-to most versatile line?
I would use Sufix Siege in 12 pound test. It will float for topwater baits. I have also used it for Texas rigged soft plastics before I switched to floro.

Scents on soft plastics
I used some scents years ago that came in a spray can. I won't mention the name. I couldn't tell it did anything to help me. I haven't used any since. As far as what A-Jay uses I had never seen or heard of it until recently on this site. But I have seen a lot of things on here I had never heard of.

If it doesn't make him rich being famous won't do him any good.

Color, no rhyme or reason.
I failed to mention that I switched colors using Baby Brush Hogs. Using the exact same bait but different colors. I don't know why but I don't have any luck using watermelon red.

Rage Tail Craw
I've had good luck with the Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Craw. I am starting to like the Berkley Crazy Legs Chigger Craw. I had good luck with these when I used them.

What to do in this heatwave...
I haven't been fishing for almost 3 weeks. I don't handle extreme heat well anymore. Between the heat and loads of rain and high muddy water I gave up. May get to go next week as it is supposed to be cooler and little chance of rain.

Shelf life of flurocarbon and mono
I have a spool of Red label floro in 8lb. test. I use it for leaders and it has been in my boat for 4 or 5 years and it is still good. I have not had any problems with it so far.

Color, no rhyme or reason.
I believe at times color does make a difference. I saw an article years ago about color choices. For soft plastics if the water has decent visibility and the sun is out use watermelon seed colors. If it is cloudy go with green pumpkin. There seems to be some merit to this. I was catching fish pretty good one time on watermelon seed color. It got cloudy and I couldn't get a bite. I switched to green pumpkin and started catching fish again.

When do you decide what to throw?
I rig mine up when I get on the water and see what the conditions are. I leave my soft plastics set up but I don't like leaving crankbaits and spinnerbaits tied on all the time. Since I only have a crankbait rod to set up and one for either a spinnerbait, topwater, or swimbait it doesn't take me long to do this.

White lies to go fishing...
I had my wife wondering what I was doing one time. I was going fishing with a guy from work that I had never fished with before. We were going to a new lake we had never been to before. He lived closer to the lake and wanted to take his boat. I drove to his house and we went fishing. Imagine my wifes surprise when she finds my boat sitting in the garage. I just honestly forgot to tell her we were taking his boat.

Worm Fishing
I throw Texas rig soft plastics more than anything. When I throw a jig I have really gotten desperate to get a bite. I get hung up a lot more with jigs so I just don't use them unless I have to.

Morning or Evening
I like evenings better. Like NittyGritty Boy I am not a morning person. I have fished mornings But I seemed to have better luck in the evenings. I just try to make the best of it when ever I can go.

How to weight a fluke and still get that good action?
I usually set mine up as a Texas rig. I use either a 1/16 or 1/8 ounce sinker depending on how deep the area is.

Parting ways
In the world today true customer service is a lost art form. The good ones can help you pick what is best for your needs. Most of them now just want the paycheck and go home. I have run in to both types many times.
