What jig heads/hooks does everyone use on their A Rig?
I make my own and use a version of the flash mob so I pour 1/16 ball head on a 4/0 light wire hook to hold down the weight and drag.

General electronics advice, new boat
My advice is decide what you want a unit to do then see which works best for you. As stated some brands can communicate with trolling motors. Some can control shallow water anchors. Regardless of the brand you choose, mapping is a must in today’s world as well as the units being able to share information via Ethernet.

That’s definitely thinking outside the box bud.

Are baits copyrighted?
Also you should be aware of the rules , regulations, and record keeping that you will need to follow both in your state and federally. You may have to collect sales tax and even excise tax on your sales and pay them to the respective authority.

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.

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.

"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.

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.
