Alabama rigs for smallmouth?
Missouri also has a 3 hook limit. I make my own similar to a flash mob with willow blades and only 3 baits, either swim baits or flukes.

Dove season opens September 1 in many states
I would love to but all of my corn fields have gone away. I use to have 8 nice fields that I could hunt. I hunted every day of the week. One by one the crops changed or the farmers sold out or switched to beef instead of dairy cattle. Now there is only one and so many guys hit it that it is shot out by the second day. So good luck to you. Get a limit.

Fisherman's thumb?
If you actually have trigger you can get cortisone/lidocaine injections. They sometimes do the trick for a few months then you need a repeat. When they stop working then the knife is the solution. I am rehabbing trigger surgery on three fingers on my right hand. I did the injections for 3 years before they quit working.

Power Wire Not Secure
Could you firm up the connection by wrapping it with teflon tape?

Slx dc backlashing problems
Adjust it a little tighter on the spool knob. They aren’t all the same. I have 2 Curado DCs, one is by the book while the other needs more adjustment using the same line, same casting plug and matching rods.

San Diego Jam knot
That is a Pitzen just doubling the line. I don't double the line. I do 5 wraps no matter the line type or size. The difference between the SD Jam and Pitzen is the loop at the bait, Jam go through Pitzen don’t go through.

Maribou jigs for Smallmouth
Around here bucktail jigs seem to work better than maribou. Some guys prefer craft hair jigs but I only like them for float n fly.

You're stuck on an island, only one lure to take
If it were 1 and not one type, I’d want a hard floater so Zara Spook for me. If you mean one type then plastic worms.

Advice on boat
What do you mean selling without the pink slip? If you are talking selling without a title, don’t. You will open a big old can of worms.

Who is the jig man ?
Seibert, Cadman, Smalljaw or Munkin can probably fix you up.

Zoom lil critter craw...
I Trig them as well as use them as jig trailers.

My old plastic
I don’t, but I have reused old plastic. You have to have bunch so you don’t mix colors. Mixing colors will end up brown.

San Diego Jam knot
I use a knot that is similar to the San Diego Jam. It is the Pitzen. It is easy and quick. I use it with all lines. I even tie it with gloves on in the winter.

Cranking your outboard before heading to the lake
I haven’t even considered doing that. I take my boat in every fall have the fluids changed and the motor, boat and trailer inspected. I can’t even remember the last time I had a motor that wouldn’t start.

Any guess as to when Shimano reels will be available again?
I just bought a 150 dc from Midway USA. They are in Columbia MO.
