Do you ever use translucent swimbaits on an A-Rig for clear water, and if so do you remove the willow blades and/or fish head?
No blades https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/102179881?pid=149784&utm_medium=shopping&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Fishing - Baits - Wire Baits&utm_content=149784&gclid=Cj0KCQjwm66pBhDQARIsALIR2zAAskpktqdU-0KYLFq9fXNFKgsB2U02lgPtnS68ADwEkc8epoO9a90aAiM3EALw_wcB

An eagle so I could soar on high.

Nope. I normally use white baits and my Arigs have lots of blades.

Looking for how people fish finesse in deeper waters
I fish Neds on several heads depending on how deep I want to get. I use 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16 and 1/4. The majority of the time I use the first 3. The heavier ones come into play with deep timber or bluff ledges. I use TRDs and 6# Yozuri hybrid line for Neds on a variety of rods with 1000 and 2000 size Shimano reels.

Don’t let the maximum depth scare you. Table Rock has lots of water 150’ deep. We rarely find fish deeper than 30’ in the winter. I fish jigs, shaky heads, swim baits and Ned rigs all winter long. I vary the head size depending on how deep I am fishing. Just tie something on and fish.

Outboard fuel?
I would put a few gallons at a time in my vehicle and still get the use of the gasoline.

What to Do With Gently Used Soft Plastics?
You can us mend it on some and discard the rest unless you have a way to melt them and make something else.

favorite winter pants
When it starts to get cold I wear jeans and cover with gortex pants if necessary. When it is winter I pull out the Red Head lined jeans and long johns. For really cold days I cover with down bibs. If it doesn’t get above 32° I will be sitting by the fire.

Thoughts on Fishing when you are old and tired...
Suck it up butter cup. I’m older than you are and just got back from a 6 hour trip to Table Rock. Fishing was slow but we managed 21 bass and 2 walleye with 4 nice keepers. I’m heading back Thursday.

My First G Loomis!
Good for you. The older IMX rods are my favorite. I have had some GLX and IMX PRO rods. I didn’t like them so they are in new homes. I use my IMX rods every time out.

More and more anglers are
My main concern is finding a qualified mechanic in this area.

favorite casting rod grips
I don’t build them myself. I have them built. I want a full cork grip then cover it with shrink tubing that I get from Mud Hole.

Well isn't this just wonderful
I know where you are. My wife and I went on a vacation to Colorado and caught it 2 weeks ago. We took Paxlovid and quarantined for 10 days. We are over the symptoms but have very little energy.
