Here is a post about Micro Guides Here is another post

Under federal law, any boat less than 20 feet is required to have a capacity plate. https://www.desperatesailors.com/federal-law-boat-capacity-plate/

I have the tool, tried numerous times to use it. Not my cup of tea. For larger dia braid and leader I use the Crazy Alberto and for small dia braid and leader I use the Red Phillips knot. The RP knot is very easy to tie and fits well through the rods with micro guides.

I use the stupid tubes by Secret Lures, Also the Mega Tubes by Mega Strike.https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Megastrike_Mega_Tube_Craw_8pk/descpage-MEGATUB.html

TW has the mciro split ring pliers https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Gamakatsu_Micro_Split_Ring_Plier/descpage-GMSRP.html

Either a sling bag or a backpack. It will depend on how much tackle you are carrying. I have a few different styles of the Kastking line of bags.

I have been using the Kastking Baitspace line of tackle bags

In reduced visibility you should always proceed with caution. This is just terrible news.

I use the Keitech Swing Impact on the Keitech Super Round Jig.

For small dia lines I use the Red Phillips knot, works great on rods with micro guides.

When filling a spinning reel with any line. The line should come off the bottom of the filler spool. Also make sure uou don't over fill the spool.

I use Reel X grease and oil and for drag washers Cal Drag Grease.

Started to use the Dirty Finessee Swim Jig with Berlkley chunk trailer. These worked well for me since the ponds I fish have alot of debris. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/search-tackle.html?start=0&count=20&searchtext=dirty+swim+jigs

Just from what I read Do-It Molds seem to be pretty good. Looks like they sell a nice selection of molds.

My setup is 7' Perigee ll MH/F with 2000 Spinning spooled 10B and 10FC leader. Works well for me fishing from the bank. May increase the # test on the braid .

Here is a possibility KK Speed Demon Pro Mag Swimbait rod 8'MF/EH , 20-50#test, 2-8 oz lures, 12 guides $139.99

WOW and from a kayak.

The Kastking Assegai Free Style or Sweet Caroline both are 7'6 MH/F. Difference is the number of guides.

Started to use the Topwater Speed Clips

I go back to the same pond numerous times, fish in different spots. The conditions are always changing. Some days are good and others are terrible.

What temp are you heating your plastic to?

You can use a gear ratio from 5.4:1 to 6.1:1 or for a faster retrieve 7.2:1. I am using 6.1:1 but for smaller(shallow) lipless cranks I use a spinning setup.

I have been using KVD for a few years now on all my lines. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/search-tackle.html?start=0&count=20&searchtext=KVD+Line+Conditioner
