Probably one of the best short explanations of pitching and flipping.

This If you're pitching, why are you overhand casting? Pitching is an underhand motion.

30# braid to a leader appropriate for the technique would be the way I'd go.

Today was a shore-fishing morning. 3 yearling bass (about 6"), 1 2-year walleye (about 9") and several 5"-7" bluegill. Creme Tiny Lipless crank (1/10oz) and Rapala UL Shad-04 (1/8oz) were the main getters. Had to show the walleye to another guy on the pier...he'd never seen one before.

We'll send it to you - previous three days here we were at 90+...and currently at 87 and still climbing today.

X2 - I also have this Victory...excellent JB rod...I think the spinning version would do just as good.

Correction to that, buddy Totally uninhabitable...

We had the opposite - official high was 92, but outside my house reached 95...definitely summer. Other than running out this morning for an errand, I've been 'hibernating' in the cooler house.

Exactly so - don't look at the words, look at the numbers. Example - Two rods, both rated 10#-20# line, 1/4-1oz lures - so exactly the same ratings. Dobyns 704C - Labeled Heavy Aird-X - Labeled Medium-Heavy.

Sure did - been a Trekkie since 1966...

@A-Jay - I know you put them on under the Lund. How they working out for you I'm thinking of putting them under Bass Trek this coming winter.

Well, not 1/2 - but the Victory line also has a 'Rip-n-Chatter' 7'2" H/M for $200

Fixed it for you, Phil.

If I enjoyed my time on the water or shore wetting a line - it's a good day If I catch something...it's a bonus.

Make sure it's Spar Urethane - regular polyurethane won't hold up to the wet as well. I not only fitted/stapled the carpet to the underside, I also used outdoor rated carpet glue. My project from winter 2021-22 - all done with aluminum angle, rivets and sealed BCX plywood with indoor/outdoor carpet.

Plain old BCX plywood is sufficient - long as you double-coat it with oil-based spar urethane to keep the wet out. If you don't seal it, even the best wood you can get will start rotting. Note: using pressure treated wood is contra-indicated...especially if it's an aluminum boat. The chemicals used in pressure treated lumber will start corroding the aluminum.

Don't look at me - I may not have top-end like others, but my rainsuit is Columbia.

Just starting I guess - my arsenal is... Bass: 11 Casting and 5 Spinning Panfish: 3 Spinning (and two of the bass spinners could shift over as well)

Pretty much...

Get yourself some of this and spray it on the Toggs...that'll at least mitigate it.

I kinda like my Strike King Banshees - Dick's/F&S exclusive. 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 oz.

Yep - I buy acid brushes by the carton full...just the right stiffness. I also use hypodermic needles for my oiling, precision placement and only a touch. 36 brushes for $7 right now...https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Grade-Acid-Brushes-Count/dp/B07PHG2DQY?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A1HD84JZ5JR3NU

Or it could be a 'budget' reel that has a bushing. Only under $70 spinning reels I know of that had a bearing were the Avocet RZT's - reason I got a few of them on deep discount when Mitchell stopped making them.

Everything I have fits in a 3700. Weights, hooks, swivels, Neds, Shakey. The boxes are two sizes, the large for 4/0 and 5/0 hooks, and are not air/water-tight, so the silica packs can dry things in them too. Larger weights, like my S.O. 1oz and 1.5oz don't fit in the boxes, so they get a compartment each.
