While you are celebrating this holiday weekend " Don't forget to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their selflessness and courage will never be forgotten. May we always cherish their memory and strive to uphold the values they fought to defend. Today, let us reflect on their sacrifice and express our gratitude to those who have served and continue to serve, ensuring the freedoms we hold dear."

Have caught a few don't like messing with them. Either the line snapped or I had to cut it.

Welcome Bob

Trying to get all my fishing in before my hand surgery, That will put me out of the for atleast 12 weeks.

U/L ususally 4-8#, General Fishing 10-20# braid. If I use FC leader, I usually go with the same #test or a little lighter. BFS I usually use lighter braid. Also check the reel manufactures recommendation.

This is my first bass of 2024. The NED rig was the choice lure, wouldn't take the whole plastic so a trimmed it down and that worked.

All my braid does it, does not bother me.

Enjoy it I retired at 75 Life is too Short

Thanks Today was the first fish caught , I have been fishing for 6 days with no luck, caught in Spring Lake.

Caught my PB rainbow weighing in at 5lb7oz

Sounds like a great trip

I have started using KK Tripolymer.

Same here new rods U40... Older rods clean with Magic Eraser let dry and then light coat of U40.

I have numerous KK baitcasters and spinning reels. Never have had a issue with any of them.

Snagging some tall grass on the back cast and on the forward cast it turned into such a bad back lash , ended up cutting all the braid off the spool.

Look at fishingskirts.com and lurepartsonline for skirt making materials and how to videos That is exactly what I do If it is loose fit just use some painters tape to tape the tube to chuck. I started tying bucktail to my trailer hooks for my spinner and buzz baits.

Sometimes you just gotta change the menu selection.

Secret Lures still sells the Stupid Tube and Stupid Jig Head. There are how to videos on the site.

#2 for me

Mine are stored in a inexpensive tool box from Harbor Freight

Once you hit 70 in NJ you are exempt from needing a fishing license or trout stamp. Just need to carry proof of age.

I started to use the Red Phillips Knot it is small and strong ...goes through the micro guides nicely.

I have it and it is ok, I like the TX8 by Roro. If you buy the TX6 make sure you buy some extra pins. Both are in stock at Baitfineeseempire.

I started to use the Red Phillips knot for all my rods with micro guides and the Crazy Alberto for rods without micro guides.

Those electronics cost more then my first home.
