Hopefully I can put this info to work once I get the boot off my foot.

You always provide very informative videos, Thank you

I use the Red Phillips knot and the goes through the micro guides easily. Also the knot is good on my BFS rods. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxBGImWrW8n/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D

Every rod and reel I have are Kastking. I have never had an issue with either of them. Just remember you can get a bad rod or reel with a big name brand. My collections includes budget friendly and top of the line. If you have any particular questions feel free to message me.

These are pretty good but have a skirt

My setup is 7'3 M/F Action M Power, 7.2:1 reel , 20B/15FC.

Mega Strike makes some nice nice spinner baits https://www.megastrike.com/spinnerbaits

I use KK Kovert FC for my leaders.

I use KVD on everything

Hoping for a speedy recovery

The one I had the bags didn't stay clipped in.

This site has the pros and cons of FC. https://ask-the-fisherman.com/why-use-fluorocarbon-line-and-when/

I use 15# Kovert FC on my dedicated topwater rod

This link from the Mudhole has a good explanation https://mudhole.com/blogs/tips-tricks/rod-blank-action-vs-power-explained

I am presently using a Kastking 7' Perigee ll MH/F with a Zephyr 2000 spooled with 10#braid and 10#FC leader.

Longer Rods=greater casting distance Shorter Rods= close proximity and tight accuracy

Drop shot, reverse drop shot,wacky, and possibly neko. It was suggested to me to add a centering pin, put your hook through the pin and turn the pin so the hook rests on the bait. Basically it saves the bait.

For those who don't want to go to expensive Rx sunglasses KK makes a pair of fit over polarized sunglasses called the Molino. Reviews are very good.

First completed dice lures one with short strands and the other with long strands.

I have an extensive collection of KK rods and reels and never have had any issues. Unfortunately things do break when unexpected. This can happen with any brand. KK has come a long way since they started over 10 years ago.

Well I did my first pour, took some old plastics that I don't use, bought a used microwave on Market Place for 20 bucks and started the process. It is going to be a learning experience as to how much to fill each cavity. Also found a company that has pre colored plastics ready to melt. It is Fusionx Fishing.

Anyone making the fuzzy dice lure using a silicone mold? I found one at the craft store. Bought a mini silicone candy mold has more cavities then I need but for 2 bucks who can complain. Size is .59"x.59"x.39". I just need a few more items then I can start to pour them. Will keep you posted on my progress.

Very nice

Way out of my league...

Your suggestion worked for me
