Do you guys seal the cork on new rods?
Never heard of such a thing. I wonder how I ever survived.

Smallies returning to the upper Potomac River
Glad to hear it. My brother lived on the river at Falling Waters and even prior to 2016 the smallies had thinned out alot. Used to be grass beds all the way across and it was a bonanza. Grass beds were long gone by 2016.

Broke out some of my older BPS Rods for tomorrow.
Last week I decided I wanted a dedicated drop shot setup, so I looked through my rods and found a 6’8” ML Woo Daves Extreme that I bought over 20 years ago. I was shopping for a reel when I remembered I had a NIB Daiwa Caldia z 2500 that I bought in 2017. I didn’t second guess whether I needed a new rod - I already have a great one in the Woo Daves. This setup was like a gift. That Daiwa reel is exceptional.

What have been some "Game-Changers" for your fishing(?)
After using spinning gear all my life, I learned to use a baitcaster at 40. It’s opened up a lot of options over the last 20 years.

I tried to edit my profile on day one. Should be a no-brainer, but can’t do it.

Minn Leaf lake, wife took me to school
My wife fishes a 3-4 inch grub and nothing else. She frequently catches more fish than I do in spite of my $$$ worth of “stuff”.

The right spot or the right bait???
Similar to what I was thinking. If I'm on the same page as KVD I must be right.

Used to fish 3-5 days/week, but haven’t fished much for the last 15 years or so. Looking forward to getting up to speed on some of the new stuff. Lews BB1 pro and Dobyns Kaden 714c on the way. This is a great forum.
