Stacked terminals on battery
I just stack them on, put on a washer and nut and tighten down. I have at least 5 on mine. If you also have lead posts you can get adapters that can help.

Tips For Reducing "Wind Knots" With Light Braid ?
Close the bail by hand and look at your spool as you do.
-
Swing head lowdown....
I make my own. The size I like best is 7/16 with a 4/0 hook with a full sized brush hog. I fish it with short jerks to stir up bottom debris. It has worked best at night in warm weather.

How much will you drop on a pair of sneakers?
I got mine for $39.95 at the Bass Pro Catalog Outlet Store. It’s only 12 miles from my house. I rarely have to pay more than $50 to $60 for any footwear there. It’s the best part of their whole operation.

Why did Green MF glitter bleed?
I’m guessing too hot. Do you have a thermometer?

what is the best spinner bait rod?
I fish them a lot and have used a bunch of rods. What I have settled on that is best for me is my Gloomis IMX 843C rods.

A popular bass rod power/type that you personally don't find a use for?
I carry 3 medium spinning setups. They are used for tubes and Trigged baits like critter craws and baby brush hogs.

Fishing room storage ideas?
Wow and I thought I had a problem. Some of you guys need counseling.

"Ultralight" Casting Reel?
I don’t know just what you are looking for or how much you want to spend. When I wanted to use a bait caster for light baits I tried a Shimano 70. I use it for Ned rigs down to 3/16 oz with a TRD.

Fish species you've never caught?
There are lots of micro varieties in the streams around here that I have never caught and won’t catch because I don’t fish streams. As for the fish in the lakes I believe that I have caught some of every one that I have ever heard of.

Pitzen for all lines is my go to.

I think she is beautiful Allen. I’d like to see it with the body installed. Please add it and repost.

No hook in the mouth?
It is the law in MO.

Curado mgl 70 wheelhouse?
I have 3 Curado 70s. One is for shaky, one for cranks and one for Neds.

Best Lake for Smallmouth in Missouri?
There aren’t any of those. There are no lake side cabins and I don’t know of any resorts that have docks. There are 3 marinas. Two of them have rooms fairly close to the lake but not on it. That is what makes it so appealing to me.

Ned rig jig head with 3/0 or 4/0 hook?
Not very well for me. I pour some for Arigs to keep the overall weight down. They are what you might call sketchy.
-
Another new boat advice thread....
The reasons for the limitations on ordering Trackers is they are not designed for anyone other than first time owners. They tend to keep costs down by under powering at both ends and offering cheap electronics and they don’t always use top grade components. I used to sell Lunds. I don’t think that there is a better aluminum boat on the market.

Another new boat advice thread....
You should be able to get a boat set up how ever you want it with motor, trolling motor, and electronics just how you desire. It is your money. You make the call. Even if you buy a boat that is in stock, a good dealer will swap out what ever you need. That distance is not good unless you can get an appointment with same day service.

Best Lake for Smallmouth in Missouri?
No from my experience. Most of the smallies that I have caught on that lake have come north of Edge Island. There location will depend on the time of year.
-
battery maint over the winter
Noco told me that I could leave mine on if there was no draw from anything so you should be good to go. If they are wet cells check the fluid levels at least monthly and top off with distilled water if necessary.

Best Lake for Smallmouth in Missouri?
I’d say Bull Shoals or lower Table Rock.

Where/how do you keep your "used" soft plastic baits?
I don’t have very many used ones. Where I fish they don’t last very long. Right now I have 1 brush hog, 1 zero, and 1 trd that have been used. They are still on rods waiting for the next trip. How do you get a bunch of used plastic?

Float n fly with soft plastics
Take a look at Bobby Garland baits the baby shad and swimm’r both catch fish.
-
Is there anything wrong with having 3 identical setups?
Most of my setups have a twin. I don’t have any triplets but do have one set of quadruplets.

Around here 6# fluorocarbon line will get twice as many bites as even 8#.
