Shimano Zodias vs Megabass Levante?
Thanks, I was not sure if you fell into the issue before the re-release as I know a lot of them were snapping. I have a shakeyhead and agree it's a bit heavier than most 3 powered rods- just hope it don't break.

Shimano Zodias vs Megabass Levante?
Is this the new lineup for the levante series? I know the previous years model had issues and were recalled (I think).

Megabass Vision 110 (+1, +2) vs 110 Jr. (+1)
Love me the original 110 +1. I think the Jr's may have their time and place but I do not think I will purchase any more as I cannot cover as much water (casting distance) and do not think it adds more fish or better quality fish. BUT If I am having a rough day with the 110+1 sure I will tie on the Jr. and see if I can get some more fish. So I guess it has its time and place. From my limited experience on water with SM- I will say smallmouth love the Jrs. I do not have spots in the lakes that I fish frequently.

Kaden or Champ XP
I love my 764cb for ripping lipless out of grass. definitely a 4 power as dobyns is a little lighter tip. Don't forget the kadens blank runs "faster" too

Tackle bag versatility
I have recently done this and for me my answer was the plano edge 3700 flex. My backpack was too heavy and very cumbersome and wanted to downsize while keeping enough of what I "NEED". Changing to 3700's helped me... I now use a plano 3700 weekender for most of my trips now. 3x 3700's: 1x Terminal 1x Jig (with modified Spinnerbait harnesses) 1x Flex- This is the box that changes for me daily/seasonally/however you want. These 3 boxes fit absolutely perfect in the case.

Using reels the "wrong way"
I notice this in every commercial/movie ever... So annoying...

Quality Pliers
Wow... Too much risk me throwing that over the edge instead of the fish Maybe spending this much would make sure I never make that mistake again.

Quality Pliers
Looking for a suggestion on some quality plier brands- I usually just use the ol' hardware pliers sitting around but they have gotten rusty and am looking to upgrade. I am assuming aluminum is the best? TIA

Harvesting Fish for Dinner
Make sure to look at how to remove a gut hooked fish that is pinned on here. I cannot believe how many fish I have saved since reading it...

If you were the expert...what topic?
How to complain about changing Split Rings... Then searching for it.... Then (here is the key) FINDING it. Often repeating this for the same split ring.

sorting jerkbaits
I would go crazy as I have several baits that behave differently in different water temp. I stick to depth of bait for ease of use. The Plano flex has definitely changed the way I sort things now..

MEGA transducer (terrova) question
Yeah, I was wondering if it is possible to connect bluetooth and "screen share" from the master unit. I heard it was possible, but was not sure if it was possible with HB units. Back to the grinding board thanks

MEGA transducer (terrova) question
Hello, I have been looking forward to using the MEGA imaging that had come with my trolling motor. I fish out of the front and back of my boat so I never really found a spot that I liked but just found out that I could use the head of a unit in 1 location and bluetooth connect to a phone/tablet. Is this possible? Have you done it? Worth it (since live is not that much more)? This is being put on a Pontoon and the trolling motor is in the front. I already have a fish finder built in the console (a place that I do not like and it is small) Just looking for options on how to upgrade. Thanks

Worth Saving Plastics...
Is it worth saving plastics to melt down and repour into "menaces/senkos/paddletails". From my understanding if I keep all the plastics similar color it wouldn't be too bad just need to add some plastisol (not sure if this is the case). Looking for anyone that has done this or if its worth it as I was going to be making some aluminum molds cheap. TIA

Creating a day pack
Trying to adjust my tackle problem/infatuation with bringing it ALL. Trying to condense to a smaller backpack. I've decided to try 3 3700 plano edge boxes (terminal, jig, flex) and they fit. Did the adjustment putting a spinnerbait holder into the jig box and feel good about the terminal being stocked in there. Now the Flex box... Looking for ideas on how people set it up for a "day box" ie. what compartments did you go with?

Thoughts about Braided Treble Hooks?
Agreed. I'm new to the SB game but use 2 split rings to help instead of braided trebles.
-
Buzbe tackle storage, anyone try it out?
Have you ever had your edge terminal box open up? I am debating between the two and the latch is really my deal breaker as mine will be in a backpack vertical and I have heard they open up from time to time.

Braid gone bad?
Rod Guides fine. Checked with Q-tip- Thanks for the suggestion as I did not think of that originally. All of my other braids have held up much better than this Superslick as I am only fishing vegetation with no rock/wood. Once I took about 10 yards off the line did look much better but I still stripped it off as I was done with it. This sounds like my issue as well. I had an initial bad experience with the coating on the line but once it wore off I felt that it was fine. Now it is off the reel for some suffix 832.
