Buying first boat
Does the Skeeter have power poles or talons? It makes a difference functionally. What gps/sonar units do each have. What trolling motors are on each? What batteries are in each and how many?

Why are you wanting a Garmin live scope instead of the Humminbird Mega live which can be Ethernet linked to other Humminbird units?

Help...advice needed on setup!
I have 3 Solix units 10, 10, and 12. I had a 360 but sold it. My Ulterra didn’t function well with the weight. I have a Mega live and a mount which arrived this afternoon. I have been waiting on Mega live for over a year. I watched a guy last week going down a bluff and not casting until he saw a bass. It looked efficient to me. I don’t want anything smaller than a 10 and would prefer 12 and 15 if I had the room.

Elaztech baits?
My boxes are the Flambeau that a Zman tech recommended to me. The boxes aren’t my problem. I have bought out two different stores when they were closing them out and I have accumulated too many colors for my containers so it looks like some of them are going to be left at home.

Elaztech baits?
So they will bleed. Thanks for your answer.

R u a Tackleaholic?
I used to be but maybe not now as my Elaztech collection is under 200 pks. That’s basically all I buy and make the rest.

Elaztech baits?
They aren’t Plano (pvc) boxes just that type for an example that most can relate to.

Anyone Super Type-A Like Me and Keep a Spreadsheet With Types of Lures and Fish Caught?
I’ve been doing it for several years. I track at least 20 things. I used to use filters and develop year end reports.

Elaztech baits?
I have tried many ways to store them in the boat. I haven’t been satisfied with any of them so I am going back to the Plano type box. If they are stored together opened and more than one color in the same compartment, will the colors bleed? I have 12 compartments and 15 colors.

Does anybody make their own soft plastics?
You will get many answers to those questions. I have been making soft baits foe a very long time. I prefer Calhoun’s medium plastisol but others will probably recommend different stuff. When you buy colorant be sure that it is a non bleed so your colors won’t corrupt. Get glitter the same place so you won’t be buying cheap stuff that will melt.

Canopies on a bass boat?
It doesn’t have any effect on the boat but is a big pita for anyone in it. Sunscreen and a seat umbrella for you would be a lot less cumbersome. My wife had one on her boat. It was pretty near worthless.

The Mind of a Bass
I believe mind refers to a conscious process that can make decisions. A bass is either a predator or prey depending on the situation. Predators attack and prey flees. It doesn’t think or reason.

New Fenwick HMG Rods
I have 7 Fenwick HMGs. None better for the price and warranty imo.

Warranty - favorable or fiendish experiences
I’ve used the lifetime warranty on Fenwick HMG rods 3 times. Hastle free quick replacement service is what I found.

Washing a car.
My truck gets washed every few days, but not by me. One of our local car washes has a $30/month unlimited wash. It includes washing, waxing, tire treatment and hand drying. All I have to do is vacuum the inside.
