Drag setting
I set the drag by feel. I don’t pull the line from the reel, I grab it at the lure and flex the rod to where I want the drag to slip.

Night fishing in Fall/winter?
I don’t fish at night during the winter. Too dangerous.

Strong arm
I’m right handed and both spinning and casting are right retrieve. I taught my children the same way. Soon I will teach my grandchildren to use their dominant hand to reel. Eventually right reelers will take over the world ! But seriously, we will.

Does rod weight matter to you??
It’s a big factor for me.

Short trips?
If I’m anywhere near a puddle and I get a few minutes, a feller has to give it a try.

Hello From The West Coast
Your introduction is straight to the point. I like that.

Do you rely on Intuition?
I’m more of a Captain Kirk. My inclinations can sometimes confuse logic , but casting out in some random direction pays off pretty often.

Snapped a fury rod today
My Sierras feel a little slower than the Furys do. I love em. Sucks you broke your rod though.

I’m going to have to use all my fingers and toes to figure this one out. I think it’s 38 ?

Do you look at the fish you catch?
I look in all their mouths, pictures are just for PB fish. After reading WRB’s post I’m going to start smelling them too.

What pliers do you use?
I have lost two Leatherman SuperTools while fishing . Once they got tangled in the anchor rope and I threw it overboard. Second time I had them sitting in my lap fishing off the docks and stood up to reel in a feesh . I still carry them but they are a backup to cheap Wally Martinez fishing pliers .

Persistence if you know a fish is there?
I’ll cast a lure 28 times at a lay down , but it’s going to be from a lot of different angles.

Drop shotting
Patience and confidence are key, and I ain’t got none of either.

Drop shotting
Drop shotting works for some folks but I’m not one of them. I’ve watched people tear em up with a ds standing right next to me and ask them to try. They hand the rod over and coach me for a while. Nuttin. Hand it back, boom , they got a fish.
