How do you sell your rods?
I put on forums. When It sells I either use a rod tube I already have or ask the local tackle store for one, which they give me free. I package then go to usps and they ship It for $28. Easy

Angry people while pitching docks?
Luckily I’ve never had a problem. I’m not good at keeping my mouth shut. A few weeks ago though a guy was weedeating his yard and as I was cruising by he yelled to me that there was about 6 black bass cruising under his dock walkway. I was at 2 fish in the livewell. 3 casts later I had my limit! All 2 pounders. He and I were both pretty happy.

What are your heaviest powered rods?
IMO some bass anglers around here use too light of line. I talk to people all the time at my tournaments on our rocky, submerged tree lakes that say they broke off multiple times on bass that day. What were they using? 8lb line throwing wacky. Yeah no wonder they wrapped you up and broke you off.

What are your heaviest powered rods?
Falcon Expert Amistad XH rated up to 3oz. I use It for deep heavy jigs and punching. I have a lot of rods rated up to 1.5 and 2oz. I also prefer a heavier powered rod. It would be nice if those saying there’s no standard in Rod powers (which everyone knows) would actually give their rods rating. Doesn’t help anything to say there’s no standard in powers but I throw a 4 power. Or there’s no standard but I throw a 7’3” heavy. Ok lol

I would never use a medium with a Chatterbait.

Met 150 vs Curado 150
They do not have aluminum gears and you can change a handle really cheaply. Just pointing out that you can certainly own a Metanium for less than $200 difference like you said. More like $50. Also, I can’t tell the difference in 90mm and 100mm handle at all.

Schools Of Bait In 10-15ft, How would you fish them?
I’ve learned a lot with livescope. Like not to waste time with most bait balls. A lot recently I’ve seen bait everywhere. My 2D sonar shows the bait but also seems to show arches that would indicate bigger fish around the bait. My Livescope shows the bait ball intact moving around and clearly not getting hammered on by anything substantial.

I ate my pb .
My daughter caught a 5lber when she was about 14. First thing literally out of her mouth was “can we keep It!” That fish was delicious.

Mono vs fluoro
I wonder sometimes if people’s issues with knots were from early fluoro. Like 20 years ago, some early fc had a knot failure and they have trumpeted poor knot strength ever since.

What was your least favorite combo?
Fury 795sb with custom super tuned Abu 5600. Was supposed to be my big swimbait/a-rig setup. Not enjoyable to throw. Sold It. GLX 844 MBR. Not sure why, just didn’t like this Rod. Stradic and Tatula Elite AGS Rod. Nice but I hate spinning rods in general so this was too high end of a spinning setup for me. I sold It and got another sweet bc setup.
