do you like Multitools? Leathermans and stuff.
I believe I've got 50 - 60 laying around from Christmas presents over a long span. I'm just not a multi-tool kinda guy, more job specific. If you ever go through western VA and need a multi-tool, look me up, free.

Favorite cheap wines...
Costco has the best deal on wines that I've seen. At Walmart ? I'd say Barefoot or maybe Apothic.

“Swimbait” - Confusing terminology
Haha, well you're actually correct about the Keitechs, 1 fish, but I keep throwing them because they catch fish and leave that nice fragrance of squid on the fingers ?

Another one bites the dust, I guess I'm getting old.
This happened over 15 years ago. They weren't grounded due to my lack of enthusiasm for mowing grass......it was really tall grass, higher than the width of the football ?.

Remember Ray well back in the 70's, outstanding punter. Side note: Actually got to meet Kenny Stabler and got an autographed football from him. Some years later my girls were tossing it around in the yard and left it lay. I didn't see it and grounded it up with the lawn mower ?

“Swimbait” - Confusing terminology
I'm still of the mindset " Jerkbaits " are hard baits with trebles. I've never called a fluke a Jerkbait.

What brands have 1/8 ounce Bass spinnerbaits and what online vendors carry them?
This is not a direct answer to your question but rather.......skirting the edge. ? A bait that has been very effective for me personally This time of year and comes in 1/8 , less flash, kinda finesse and something you may want to add to your arsenal is an underspin. 1/4 - 3/8 actually make up all my Spinnerbait choices but at the present, underspins with a paddle tail swim bait have been catching.

Jig fishing: prefer braid or fluoro? Advantages of each?
Yes, used straight flouro in the past and in comparison, much prefer braid. Casting, sensitivity, hooksets, longevity, enhanced bait action. Spinning 15# Power Pro Casting 20# Power Pro Just one fishermans opinion ?

Must See Documentary: The Social Dilemma
Guess I'm unplugged from the social pipeline ?. Don't do FB, don't read a newspaper, don't watch TV other than a football game and don't own a computer......I like it that way.

Jig fishing: prefer braid or fluoro? Advantages of each?
I only use flouro as leaders for finesse presentations, drop-shot, Neds and use a leader for Jerkbaits. Everything else is straight braid including jigs.

Georgia vs Tennessee Next Saturday

What has your dog swallowed?
My wife's shoes and she was not happy. And if you've ever owned a Border collie, don't leave them at home alone during a thunderstorm, mine ate door trim and some drywall, apparently looking for refuge from the storm.
