I will take any bass, long, short, dink. They are just fun to catch.

I didn't go too crazy got some new lipless cranks for 20%off at TW. Just enough to get the free shipping.

Reels: Clean, lubricate, back off the drags,respool line if necessary. Rods: check guides for wear and clean, reseal cork grips. Tackle: check hooks, look for wear an tear replace if necssary., This is spread out over a few months.

Happy Thnaksgiving to everyone and your families.

Original packages stored in $1.50 plastic shoe boxes, also when fishing store some in a ziploc bag and the original packages that fit into my tackle boxes.

For enjoyment

I try too but that not always happens. That is why we have so many different combos. Also it keeps the tackle mfg.'s is business.

I use either a copolymer or tripolymer for top water

I use straight braid with a trailer. Also I cut a small piece of plastic tubing, slide it over the main line, then tie off to the bait and slide the tubing down over the bend. Keeps the line from slipping.(this was an idea I found on Youtube}

Check out Discount Tackle, has these on sale.

That is my grease and oil of choice.

TW has an informative video on rigging the stupid tube. Also check out Secret Lures tube. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&p=stupid+tube+rigging&type=E211US105G0#id=1&vid=34e535b862f6a500c3350820890f3c3a&action=view

Is the San Diego Jam Knot better then the Improved Clinch Knot?

Thanks Glen

The Mega Strike spinner baits are pretty decent for $8.99 retail. It is the quality of the materials used vs the 1 buck Walmart ones. Would I pay 35 bucks for one , no way.

I only back them for the winter. Othwerwise I just leave them alone

Another place to look is Discount Tackle. The Owner 5167W Twistlock Light Wire

This is from a thread back in 2017 https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/185275-expanding-super-fluke-color-choices/ I also use WaterMelon Slice

I don't have any idea, I just keep buying stuff.

I use Stevia in the Raw

That is great news

This is my homemade line spooling setup. Just remember when spooling a baitcaster line should come off the top of the spool and the bottom for a spinning reel. I also put the spinning reel spool in some hot water after filling.(removes some of the memory). I hold down the spooling station with a clamp to my table.

I don't use any backing, if spool is not braid ready may put some tape on the spool so the braid doesn't slip.

That was a very nice gesture you did for the gentleman. This world needs more people like you.
