Does Tackle Warehouse have a Spring sale? If so, when is it usually?

I used to, but my stomach doesn't tolerate fried food very well these days. I may try it broiled at some point.

I'm braid to leader on everything but my crankbait rod.

I don't understand the question.

I'm probably just getting a twist in it somewhere. I'll be more careful and see how it goes. Thanks for the help, guys.

You can fish in February in Tennessee (I certainly do), but I don't typically have a lot of success. Weather-wise, it's cold but not particularly rainy, and it would be a rare occurrence for lakes to be frozen.

I typically use a clinch knot for tying mono to lures, but I've started using a palomar sometimes. The last two trips, when using a palomar knot, got breaks at the knot multiple times on each trip. When I retie with a clinch knot everything is fine. The palomar seems like about the simplest knot to tie. Could I be doing something wrong, or is it just dumb luck?

I've stayed home and regretted not going fishing many times, but I've never gone fishing and wished I had stayed home.

I don't know how it is these days, but I had a few college buddies in the 1980s that worked part-time for a transport company. They used to joke about the things that got damaged when they were transferring them in/out of trucks. Sometimes they're in a hurry, sometimes they're just not paying attention, and sometimes it's third shift and they're goofing off with little/no supervision. I got the impression there was little accountability as long as the overall damage tally was in an acceptable range. However, these days they probably know who handles each package.

Fall fishing transition is, almost by definition, like trying to hit a moving target. There's just a lot of trial and error.

I was taught as a kid to never use my rod to break the line or get a lure loose when it was good and hung (Dad wasn't keen on buying new rods for me and my brother every few weeks). You can also just wrap your line around a closed pocket knife.

Weightless senko works great on a m/f or m/mf spinning rod. That's a good setup for tubes as well.

Other than sensitivity, how do you think those two rods compare?

Half the people out there don't know how to operate a boat properly, let alone maintain one.
