anyone have a home use line spooler?
That is why I put the spool on the floor and put the line thru all the guides on the rod for spinning reels. I never could have any good luck coming off the spooling rack.

I have this one at home. It will hold what I use one my baitcasters. And I just use the floor for my spinning reels

Summer baits for larger fish
I think a Mister Twister phenom and a hang 10 worm would do the job

Trick worm
You can vary on your size of hook to influence the rate of fall if you are fishing weightless. A 2/0 hook is the smallest and your rate of fall is slowest. A 3/0 ewg is used mostly and it can be moved rearward to change the action. You can normally go all the way up to a 4/0 superliner hook to make it dance different. If you are just Texas rigging I would recommend a 3/0 ewg.

So what’s the verdict for stained water - do you want dark colors or bright colors?
Black, white,merthiolate,and bubble gum has worked for me in the mud. I don't have a repeatable pattern for it.My dad only fished with black and white trick worms when I was younger.

Jerkbait Spinning Rod Suggestions?
I have used a Bps Offshore angler salt striker spinning rod 7 ft medium heavy moderate. It will throw just about anything I own. I have bass fished and catfished with it. It is not an expensive rod but it fits that kind of niche for me.

Lure colors and hues for green tinted treated water?
I experienced this several years ago. The pond owners did the same thing and the water turned twice once is was blue/green and then the water turned brown after that. Junebug worked ok during most of the process. Black and also white zoom trick worms worked during the brown phase. They killed the minnow population and the minnow spawn almost 2 years and most of the fish looked severely thin and unhealthy.

Soft Plastics Only
For a day I would take 2 bags of plastics. First would be a Zoom trick worm.One has lots of options when you are using this bait. Second I would have a Zoom uv- speed craw and again with this I am confident that I can catch bass.

Braid to Leader on Low Gear Ratio/IPT Reels
I would think that braid is the way to go at least for me it would be with or without a leader.

What is your sunscreen of choice.?
I use the Duke Cannon standard issue "Every d**n Day" face lotion. Spf 30 I like it because it doesn't feel like a paste after you apply it.

Carolina Rig - What's this piece called?
Old school that is the ticker disc. Karl's bait has a Carolina rig kit with all the parts included to put together 2 rigs.

What’s your favorite…
I use a Denny Brauer Baby Structure Jig when I want a heavier hook. It comes in a 1/4 and a 3/8 oz sizes the bitsy bug and bitsy flip are some of my favorites also. But if I want something stout the Baby Structure Jig Is the money for me

A bad day fishing is better than a good day @ work...Ya Think???

Mono recommendations?
I have used a lot of different brands over the years but I prefer Big Game or BPS Excel line for mono. I also use Power Pro braid.
-
Are you brand loyal ?
I have a lot of tackle tray ornaments stored away from a lot of years back. But now not so much now. Strike King and Zoom get the most of my fishing money now. There are so many bait companies out there now, one cannot keep up with them. Bass Pro gets my rod and reel money.

Has anyone experienced a much tougher season than last year, or do you think it’s just because summer is generally tough?
It has been off in the south also. Low water, fishing pressure more heat has resulted in a rollercoaster of results. I also believe that the fish have gotten used to our regular baits and presentations. I found a lot of success in changing up my baits and tactics. Hopefully it resets for next season.

Lake fork hissy fit...
How would you rig it I looked at the pics. Just a treble hook on the front?

Buying a spinning rod tomorrow
I don't think that I could do all you want to do with 1 rod. The lighter stuff I would use a 6'6" medium fast rod 8 lbs mono. The others I would use a 6'6" medium heavy fast rod 10or 12 lb mono. I choose the slightly shorter rods because I am a bank beater most of the time. I could use braid on either one also.

Favorite 6 inch Texas rigged worm
I have used a Trick Worm for several decades now. As long as they make them I will be a customer for it.
