ALL PRO RODS
I have one or two of them. They were made by the original owner of Ark Rods in Harrison AR. I have no idea how you can get your hands on them.

Anybody else struggle with living in the past/nostalgia?
Nope not me. Everyday is a new adventure and I can’t wait to see what happens. I’ve never looked back on an event or job, but I am not one who seeks relationships with others.

Boat under 20’ storage length
That boundary is probably going to limit you to a 17’ boat with a swing away tongue with the motor down. If you can park it diagonally you can gain some more room.

Tip for using screwlock/springlock hooks in Zman ElaZtech baits.
When I used a lot of screw locks, I heated a small drill bit to burn the hole. I did several in advance in the garage so they’d be ready any time.

Dowco boat cover.
I have one for my Z20 but I don’t have any idea of what you mean. Are you referring to the one that goes under the motor? Maybe they have changed as mine just has male and female ends and tightens with the ratchet.

She and her tribe have generated an additional $331,000,000 for NFL sales in the last few months. Go Chiefs.

Making skirts flare
What you have in the pic is a lion collar jig. You can wire tie them with a little practice. You can get more flair if you make a channel in the lead close to the head and put your wire in it. If you have trouble with the wire you can use thread to get everything positioned then put the wire on. I sometimes do that when I have several different colors to put on. If you can, don’t put the weed guard in until last. That will make everything much easier.

Ways To Work a Spook
A long time ago a local spook expert showed a friend and I 5 ways to work a spook. He said he could work it 17 different ways and would show us 5 more after we mastered the first 5. I could only get 4 of them so I never got any more lessons. The closest to what you mentioned is to get it pointed at yourself and with the rod pointed down give it a snap. If done correctly the bait will do a little dive and back up.

KVD OR BPS PLATINUM BATCASTER

Making skirts flare
Look up puff ball jigs and how to tie them. You don’t need anything extra. This one is round living rubber and silicone.
