Completely teardown, clean, apply my oil & grease in the amount I like which isn't much.

$200 I wish. Go get ya a couple pair of Costas with bifocal script. I'm still try to learn to walk on this fake leg & cast with this hook.

Boiling water. I use it to soften my Hudd tails so they'll kick on a super slow retrieve. Before & after.

Alex that's Hank I see him on Juliette pretty regular.

My 75, 110, and 130's work pretty good. So I'll be picking up a 60 to throw in my pond bag

Half breed combo. Nice but still a half breed.?

Bark collars not an option? I fish docks on lakes and dogs raise cain at me often as I silently fish. Is it me or the dogs disturbing the peace?

Never underestimate their power & speed. Even this small one was very strong for his size.

No idea who makes the blank. Would like to check one out but my local BPS has never had one in the store.

Mid Summer to Mid Fall last year I caught a pile of bass on a black Trickworm on a shaky head in 4' to 8' visibility.

Super Fluke Glimmer Blue

Fish year round so organization is a perpetual battle. I don't use the Edge boxes I use the Plano Pros. I'd rather spend the $ difference on rods, reels, lures, etc.

I can flip because I've got an 8' flipping rod but unfortunately I don't own a pitching rod.?

Do it. It works. I'll just find the rocks with my Humminbird and fish a crank, jig, shaky head, or dropshot. Used to fish the CR alot and always did better on other techniques but we don't have those hyper aggressive SM.

I'll start with a Spinnerbait in those conditions.

Curado 70 on a 7' Med Fast spooled with 10 lb Seaguar Red Label allows me to cast a weightless Super Fluke with a 4/0 EWG farther than I typically need.

Frog?

I'm with Bluebasser86. I'll fish something else.

I fish all my baits like they were free. Memories of catching fish are priceless.

The Damiki Slim Jack is what I throw in most ponds as it runs 8" - 16". I've tried all the major brands and it consistently out fishes the others for me. I believe it's because it stays above the fish and not below or in their face. A weighted slow floating Rapala original works pretty good also.

The Daiwa DX SB have worked great for me for 4 years. I own and one of each power/action. The Med/Heavy is rated from 1-6 ounces but over 4 ounces I'll use the Heavy.

Mend-It user here. No experience with any of the others.

#3 on a 168. Lure size and line strength.

Totally agree for BC(except frog) but I go braid to fluorocarbon on all my spinning reels.

Makes perfect since to me.
