Medium light rod/Reel size?
30 = 3000? I use a 1000 on my med light. but physically I dont find much size difference from some of my 2500's.

At a Loss ?
maybe try reaction baits? I think sometimes the goal is just to get them to hit a bait out of annoyance. not food.

Swivel on Your Drop Shot
I use this knot exclusively. I am even gonna start calling it the Knoten. as in, "hmmm should check my knoten..."

Do you think these swim bait manufacturers are deliberately underproducing them to create artificial scarcity to increase demand?
hahaha..no. I got a "C" in the class.

I agree. I was just reminiscing my professor's first sentence in his first lecture. it did get more complicated after that..but his first sentence. there was others. built in obsolescence..and maybe more applicable to this topic, "prestige pricing"

agree. i think my economics professors very first sentence in class revolved around supply/demand.

Generally speaking, how tightly should wading boots fit?
i have boot-foot waders. my boots are loose. i didnt want to wrestle with donning and doffing. (doffing?) my boots on a beach. most wader failures i see are my friends pulling on the pant leg to pull their boots on. it fails at that ankle weld. i dont mind a floppy boot. i wear thicker socks. i have no experience with sock-foot waders. i cant imagine you even consider your own foots size when buying boots. i would wear my waders and try on boots.

What do you drive?
grrr.. my 2006 Tacoma is developing what i believe is noise from a bad wheel bearing. not bad for 210,000 miles on the odo. i have an appointment at a mechanic this monday. i did this job once on a chevy and it was unpleasant at best. i am older, wiser and have more money now. and my floor jack broke...hahah.

Reel Maintenance
i can drop the motor and transmission out of an air-cool Porsche 911 in 1 hour. solo. pulling a reel apart seems totally unnecessary for my usage. maybe if all my reels went into the water, but in general, i do the basic lube the owners manual shows, and i am good for years.

Bad news. Brady was a good boy to the end. he didnt bite anyone despite his pain. he passed away on the table while they were trying to some emergency IV antibiotic treatment. last thoughts were a snake bite. total guess. i will miss Brady.

this was the VETs first guess. they said if so, they would have had way more puss when they sucked the giant bump with a needle. i cant concentrate on work.

something mysterious is killing my brother's dog.
my Brother adopted Brady. a GSD. he was so fearful in the beginning. i couldnt pet Brady for about 2 years. he would just stare at me just out of reach. he would offer the occasional "you looking at me?" growl. My brother took it slow. just put down food and water for a year before Brady was pettable. he would however play with the other two adopted dogs. My brother plucked Brady literally on the way to the euthanasia... (8 years have elaspsed) now Brady is brave, and confident like a proper German Shepard. handsome. i like him. i like him a lot. the last few nights something happened. my brother found him with his face/jaw swollen. the Vet is dumbstruck. the bump is huge, but no puss. heavy antiboitics are doing nothing. blood tests show an infection. Brady is back at the vet today. not sure why they didnt keep him overnight. he is too weak to even try to bite them when they moved him painfully into the back of a truck. i am hoping the Vet has a idea how to save Brady. they shaved so much of him looking for absess and punctures. nothing. poor Brady.

Suspendots vs Lead Tape
i tried opening up a split shot and clamping it onto the front o-ring and it was way too heavy. i think a MegaBass engineer shed a tear when i did it. i almost lost it to a snag. haha.
