Z man trd
I have switched to the weedless Ned with the Victory hooks. No keepers or glue needed.

do you like Multitools? Leathermans and stuff.
I have 2 Leathermans and a Swiss army knife. If you give me an hour I might be able to find at least one of them.

If worse comes to worse you can heat a wire and melt a hole in them then they will push over the barb. You may have to glue them in place.

At What Temperature Do You Stop Fishing?
When the water is hard. The coldest day that I have ever been the temperature was -5°. I wouldn’t do it again.

Favorite cheap wines...
If you want to try a variety look up wine insider. During the lock down my wife bought several cases of red, white, and mixed. They came from all over Europe and Australia.

What happened to my hooksets? Lost my success.
When fishing a Ned rig, I wait until I feel line pressure before I set the hook. If I feel a strike and set the hook I miss a lot of fish.

Fiberglass stored outside
I’ve never seen one left outside for any length of time that didn’t show it. The sun is especially hard on the top of the cap.

Calculating Battery Life for Trolling Motor
That simple math might be accurate if the battery were new and fully charged, the trolling motor was in perfect running order with no worn brushes and there was no wind or current. Otherwise I see it as hypothetical. Which places me in A-Jays camp.
-
For those having hookset issues...
So $4-500 per missed rod.

Am I the only bass fishing diehard that doesn't care about the pro tournaments?
No you are not. I have no clue as to what channel I would tune to if I cared to watch some.

Lost my only a-rig
I use 50# braid. When I can’t get it loose I wrap the line around a boat cleat and use the trolling motor to pull it free. Only once have I lost one that was hung bad enough to break my line.

81. Gear Ratios
I use 7 and 8 ratio reels for everything except A rigs. For them I use 5.

Do I discard a fish if it has worms in the stomach?
Cooked parasites are 100% protein.

Lost my only a-rig
Lure parts on line sells wire forms for A rigs. You can buy epoxy putty and make your own heads any shape you want. I did that before I bought a mold. I even used electric fencing wire to make some. I’ve been throwing them for several years. I keep 2 setups with Arigs tied on year round.
-
A rig jig heads, what do you use?
I make my own. I use a ball head in 1/16 and 1/8 depending on how deep I plan to fish it.
-
Crappie rigs
Try adding a bobber to your current setup.
-
Depth finder brand consistency
Mixing is not for me. I want all of them able to network and share data.

Older MotorGuide. Want to add foot pedal...
I can’t imagine how it can be done. Can you elaborate?
-
Tex-Rigged more like Mess-Rigged
You might want to put a keeper on the hook. Most any wire of even weed guard will work. I like floral wire. You can even use heat shrink tubing.
-
Older MotorGuide. Want to add foot pedal...
I’ve never seen one with foot control that didn’t have a 2 part shaft. I don’t think you can make it happen.

Car Dealers Crack Me Up
When I worked for a boat dealership I sold extended warranties. I got 20% of the cost and the owner got 30%.
