One jig-head for Neds, tubes...
I am partial to the Midwest finesse mold. If toy don’t like the keepers a bit of super glue gel and it sticks to anything. I’ve used from #2 to #1/0 in mine. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Do-it_Jig_Mold_Midwest_Finesse_Jigs/descpage-DMMFJ.html

What are your thoughts on Nitro bass boats?
When I bought my Z20 I had been to the Ranger dealer 3 miles down the road. I thought I had a deal made on the Ranger. It didn’t turn out the way I hoped. They held fast on their msrp and offered me 25% below trade value on my Champion. The Nitro dealer was below msrp and gave me $6,000 more for my boat. The Nitro was $21,000 lower than the Ranger.

Truck Combo
I don’t normally carry rods in the truck, however, yesterday I met a friend to go fishing in his boat. I had a 6’, 6 1/2’, 7’, and a 7 1/2’ riding shotgun and it was fine.

What are your thoughts on Nitro bass boats?
Thank you. My wife saw it and insisted that I buy it. Then she said it didn’t look good behind my white truck. I was told to go find a red one.

What are your thoughts on Nitro bass boats?
They used to be low grade and didn’t hold up. Things have changed. Evidently Johnny Morris made some changes a few years ago. I have a Nitro Z20 that is pushing 7 years old. It is holding up well.

Met John Morris Today
You might want to research first. When he redid Wonders of World it took 7 years.

Boat pedestal
Have you looked at Atwood, Springfield or Overton’s?

Crazy Shimano question
It may be possible. I don’t have those but I do have several different Shimano spinning reels and the handles are interchangeable.

Spare Prop
If you spin a hub (I have) you can still idle back to your truck. You just can’t power load.

Favorite cold water bass lures?
In the winter I fish Table Rock in SW MO. The water temp usually stays in the mid to upper 40s. I go up river or into large creeks where the water isn’t deeper that about 40 feet. I almost always use several baits but the best for the last few years has been Plastisol worms from Strike King and Zman. Yesterday I caught 16 bass on them rigged weedless shaky with a Midwest finesse head and a VMC EWG 2/0 hook.

Time for Some Truck Maintenance
It is good that you have the skills to take care of that stuff. I don’t. I depend on a friend who works at the local dealership. When he says something needs replaced I say ok.

Bow roller
I use the yellow ones. They don’t mark my boat. They are good for about 200 power loads.

Off The Grid
I used to do that all the time until I could afford to not do it. Now I require a paved ramp and a courtesy dock thank you very much.

You Cant Make This Up
Why do you take the key out? I never have.

make shift handrail
I’d make two recommendations. The Ulterra and Millennium seats. I had to go to the Ulterra because of broken ribs that didn’t heal properly. I just added the seat for comfort and safety.

Road To The Super Bowl 2023
I certainly hope so. I suffered through the bad times when Lamar Hunt brought in has been quarterbacks who couldn’t win. His son has turned the franchise around by being willing to spend money and bring in quality people.

boat porpoising
I don’t know if there is a fix. Skeeters have that reputation. I’ve never been in one that didn’t porpoise.

Road To The Super Bowl 2023
It’s been years since Super Bowl halftime has been entertaining, to say nothing about the commercials.

2 Steering cables ?
Don’t fool around with safety features. There wouldn’t be a second cable if it weren’t necessary.

Ribbed Paddle Tail Swim Bait Molds ?
Yes I have one that came from a shop in Wichita. I think it was called a ripper. I believe it is a Do-It product.
