Baitcaster That Doesn't Backlash
My man, PGA players don’t play with the crap they sell us..they play with blades and lofts under 9...don’t look for short cuts. In the long run, they don’t work. Until your ready to blow some reels up and get skunked dozens of times, question your commitment

What Do Members Use Or Maybe Not Use?
Maybe I’m missing out...I’ve never used nothing on anything. I always felt like they’re steroids...I don’t want to be tied to nothing

You can't teach courage. You can't teach heart. Etc.
Ability to not get discouraged.. Thats about it really

Lower unit stuck, 1974 Merc 20hp
I ain’t bright.. But when 1974 and rubber mallet are used in the same sentence, it ain’t good. Try one from let’s say the 90’s?

Skipping
Your on the right track. 2 things that helped me: 1. don’t throw so hard 2. stop ‘just’ practicing skipping. Skip while your actually fishing. Blow up a couple reels. Don’t be afraid to fail

Things we aren't so proud of...
???? I’m dying Trying to picture (unpicture) why one would have to get naked to get a top water plug? Either way, that man will always have a story when beers get opened..

Towing Capacity Question
I saw a Camry back down a pontoon boat once...you got it

Why buy a high end reel (metanium dc, steez...)? Are they worth it?
2 thoughts: 1. If you don’t fish a lot, it doesn’t matter. Go as cheap as possible. If you fish a lot, you want your stuff to last. Good stuff generally lasts longer 2. How much you have invested in other things. Doesn’t make sense to spend $40k on a bass boat and use a $17 rod...your already in deep, might as well

Hooks - EWG, Offset RB, Straight Shank?
I struggled with ‘should I use _____ or _____’ for a while.. Now, VMC straight shanks either 3,4 or 5’s for everything. Except swimbaits of course

Need some clarity on plastics(s) color
Yeah I like that..don’t forget the sun (when straight up and bright) can lighten the water up. So what was working in the morning may change by 11am. If your not getting bit, don’t be afraid to change. What’s the worst that can happen? Not getting bit? Your already there, nothing to lose

Braid for Frogs
I’ve seen folks at the ramp catch bass on 80lb mono with metal leaders and 2 oz weights on salami....you’ll be fine with straight braid

Top water set up
Depends on how well they’re schoolin’... Being on the co-angler side a lot, I’ve thrown them on a Paw Patrol rod up to a flippin stick..
