Have a screen with a bunch of text boxes and check boxes...etc...etc. Enter water temp. Check if cloudy or sunny, partly cloudy. Types of bass present. Use the current date to determine seasonal pattern. Check Box water: Clear, murky, muddy. Check box type of resevoir: High land (deep), shallow, both...stuff like that.

If your looking to do Candy Apple Red...I think your gonna have to just use CP.

One thing you can do with the tread is go with a lighter color and let the finish make it darker. Or use the NCP like @MickD said. If you do use epoxy...just put on a thin first coat.

Sometimes the top water bite is off...

The spook is absolutely one of the most productive tops water baits you can fish...

Congrats...get well soon. @Tennessee Boy

I personally like a Hot-Foot and trim on the steering column.

I wish I had this resource when I frist started....There is like a 10 step process.

Sometimes the back of the boat is the catbirds seat.

10^^ I love GT...and the Station Inn...If you ever get to Nashville...go here for sure.

I wanna say the Billy Westmorland had two of three over 10. One he had mounted and it was in (some place) in Celina. The place closed and threw the mount away....a least the how the story goes.

I have really never been much into all the various different kinds of blanks....BUT... If CCS is about how many grams it take to bend a rod 33% of its length... then looking at those numbers means nothing when comparing an extra fast rod to a medium rod. An extra fast rod (who tips section bends say on the top 15-20% of the rod) will, in some cases, have a higher number than its medium counterpart. I may have this wrong...but I have for the most part just ignored the CSS stuff to a point.

I was just up there this past Friday and Saturday...and also at "the" spot.

Owner 5313 1 or 1/0

Garage...and I installed a 12 external vent...if forget the cfs...but is it great. I also have a good 3M mask. Do not pour the plastic without a mask...it really bad stuff.

I've been buys different kinds of guides lately and got some fazlite to put a rod for myself. I love the blue ceramic! Kind of reminds me a little of agate.

Another additional option is to take one of the rods you have and make some mods or improvements. Like add a hook keeper...strip and replace the guide...shorten/lenthen the butt grip...just a thought.

A lot of times you can do a figure 8 in the water with a bait and make em hit....never tried that with an A rig though...

I think your confusing the lateral line...

For shure...I think on average you can save about half the cost...or more.
