EWREX

alberto is my go-to knot. goes through guides just fine and is very compact. my favorite part is how easy it is to tie, especially if i'm out on the water. try wetting the line slightly before cinching down. help's reduce some of the friction

i have a few pairs of guideline eyewear sunglasses and they have been great. very durable lenses, great polarization, and right in your budget.

7' medium rod with a 2500 reel will cover a decent amount of techniques for you

i'm very lucky and live in the same town as tackle supply depot. they do run out of item's often (because they are the premier tackle shop in the area, and cater to the avid bass angler) but re-stock very fast. i can order online and pickup locally, or just visit the store and buy while i am there.

$30.00 is a little better price, but would still have a hard time dropping that for a box! not knocking anyone if they do though. i've had great luck with flambeau tuff 'tainers with the ze-rust

what would be your five go-to setups for: around a foot of visibility mainly hard bottom with rocks/boulders and sparse grass water temps mid 70's forecast of mostly sunny skies with 8-10 mph NW winds lot's of brown bass with some green's mixed in

15lb power pro hi-vis yellow to an 8lb fluoro/co-poly leader

BPS is awful and literally my last resort if something is 100% needed that they have when other's don't (which is very rare in itself).

the bass mafia terminal coffin is very easy to beat at $55.00 - NO THANKS

tackle supply depot fathers day sale 15% off until midnight tonight!

awesome shop right in my hometown. get on it guys!

to each there own brother! i’m not knockin you for it at all. we all have the same common goal. tight lines!

i'll go with the june 2019 bass resource trend and "throw a ned rig"

i didn't see anywhere in the post about the 5.5:1, sorry.

you can also catch fish on $15 walmart rod opposed to whatever rod you personally use. i can bet you don't have the $15 walmart rod though

they make tatula CT's for lefties...

i'll stick to my whopper plopper. i've caught 100's of fish on them already, why change?

tatula's are fantastic and you surely won't be dissapointed. the CT, 100, 150, and 200 model's are all very good reels.

looks like they’re pulling in some good bags! thanks!

you will learn to love and appreciate any keeper size fish. enjoy the challenge and learn as much as you can!

i'll be down there next thursday to fish, seeking out my new PB

I'll vouch for the supreme. fantastic reel all the way around.

tackle supply depot (my local shop and a great alternative to TW) has 15% off until May 27th with code MAY2019 - check them out guys!

i'm ecstatic when i catch a limit in my local tourney's. 30-40 fish would be an awesome day i don't care how "small" they are.

they look awful and probably perform even worse. the sad thing is they will literally sell out everywhere they are sold
