LurePartsOnline.com Barlowstackle.com Also there are some local tackle shops in my areas that sell rod building supplies.

They are still stocking in NJ, basically all trout stocked areas that I fish are all closed starting April 23 till opening day on April 11. I can always practice casting in the backyard. Smoking some ribs to keep busy LOL

Waiting for NJ to go on a Shelter At Home. My local town parks are closed. I have some new tackle on order probably won't get a chance to use it. Everyone be Safe

Some of my reels are braid ready and I don't use a backing, if I use a backing I use Mono and just put about 1-2 layers on the spool.

That is what I think

Now I was told it is caused by static electricity. I think that is BS

Did you high stick the rods?? High-sticking is when the rod is raised to a vertical position while landing a fish, or when you are trying to free a snag

I am thinking you are right, The issue is back, now the tech is going to change all the electrical components in the chair.

I just spooled 15# yellow braid with 10# FC leader

I have some Noisy Flappers that are basically the same.

Thanks to everyone who posted to my question. I now have a good idea what I need.

Correct I am a young 71, all my fishing is from the bank or dock. I will be using a rod and reel specifically for topwaters. I would go around 8-10 bucks for a lure.

Any preferred color?

I would like to get some top water baits to add to what I have. I presently have buzzbaits, frogs and frog poppers. I would like to add some prop baits, poppers and stick baits.

I use one rod for Spinnerbaits

When I went to school in Texas there was a bounty on Nutria. is that still true?

I have both Kastking and Dobyns rods. All my reels are now Kastking.

Update: I checked all my TV settings and there was a auto update downloaded. I went in and disabled all the settings that I don't use. The one was auto motion I turned it off. Seems to have corrected the the mysterious chair issue. Only time will tell.

Some are saying 10'-12'- that way you have plenty of leader when changing lures and won't have to splice as often.

I guess the answer to my question is K.I.S.S.

I have specific setups for Drop Shot, Ned and Shakey Head. To keep things simple could I use the same pound test braid and FC leader for these three setups. Also would you recommend high vis braid.

Kovert by Kastking

I bought 2 of them The Bassinator on a budget

Was told that they would replace parts before replacing the chair.

UPDATE Tech was here today, changed power pack and tried different outlets still same issue. Thinks it may be a wiring harness, had to order parts. Tech also said he has been doing this for long time and has never seen anything like this. He saw it first hand and couldn't believe it.
