2 shot club
Both of my 86 year old parents get their second dose this coming Tuesday. As a healthy person who passed the check just prior to my surgery last month, and my pre-op physical came up all 'green' as well as practicing distancing and mask wearing...I'm on the 'long list'.

What do you think is next?
(blinks) That's an oxymoron - sonar IS sonic by definition SOund NAvigation and Ranging

Anyone use a spinning setup for jerkbaits?
Well, the 'old' spinning rod and the new for cranks/jerks are both 7'0"

Are you edging towards luddite territory?

Anyone use a spinning setup for jerkbaits?
Define shorter? I use spinning gear for lighter cranks and jerks. Changing from a MH/M rod to a ML/MF rod this year to make it easier to toss the lighter baits.

Spooling 150 reels
I usually only spool 70 yds or so of any mainline with mono backing taking up the rest of the space.

Ya - gonna have to wait for YouTube as I don't get WFN either.

Lake Commandos - Rematch episode
Is it just going to be on OC - or can we watch it someplace else? The two services I have for streaming don't carry OC and our budget doesn't allow another service.

Solar Charger
Ya - a good battery, even lead-acid, will set you back some. I've got a West Marine (made by East Penn) 75AH deep-cycle, Lead/Calcium that ran me $170. The canoe is electric only and that one battery runs the TM, Sonar, a camera and my Galaxy Tablet an entire trip out and still registers 12.0v-12.1v at the end of the day.

Most versatile rod length?
6'10" to 7'2" seems to be the median length range for 'versatile' rods...that one's right in the range.
-
Spinning rods
Personally - having Aird-Xs in my inventory and having handled Colts...I'd take the Aird-X over the Colt.

Spinning rods
Rod I ordered that was just delivered today would probably do the trick for you. $75 from just about anywhere.

Minor reel upgrades
In the process of changing out oil-felt drag washers for carbontex. This is the second reel of four for the 1mm, then it's on to the reels that need .8mm.

Is a medium + power rod as versatile as a medium heavy? (Both fast action)
To me, those stats on line/lure look more like a MH, not a M...probably why it's rated as a M+
-
What do you think is next?
Swimming sonar/camera combo with AI control and Wi-Fi transmission to a HUD display that shows direction, range, depth, species and size.

How to fix bent tail soft plastic swimbait
It's more for your safety. Water about the temp of a hot sauna or a bit warmer will be enough to 'fix' the plastic...and this way you don't have the chance to burn yourself.

Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
I don't care about the color. It had the power/action I was looking for at a price in my budget.
-
Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
Okay - absolutely the last purchase this season (unless I can sell some stuff) As it's a MF action rod, it's for light cranks and jerks...but it'll also be another finesse rod. Putting an Avocet RZT-2000 on this with 8# InvizX.

How to fix bent tail soft plastic swimbait
Standard fix for most plastics is to put them in a pot of hot - not boiling - water for a period of time. Watch them until they 'straighten out', then take them out to cool.
