Great advice. The “back to basics “ works.

Great stuff. You’ve been busy.

I love the selections you use. Give me confidence I’m on the right track with mine which is very similar. Good stuff !

I do the same thing every off season, nutt’n! Get up early, do nutt’n have lunch finish what I didn’t get done in the morning eat dinner, do nutt’n go to bed early cause I’m exhausted from doing nutt’n

Oh my, my favorite lure gets a time to shine!

I loooovvveee throwing a spinnerbait but I’d say a frog is the most fun.

Sold my AP120 on FB for asking price. Took a couple weeks but was an easy deal. You definitely have a larger market there. Just be vigilant.

Yeah I too have learned to avoid connecting knots. I now fish CXX 10# on my BFS set up without issue. Like Glenn states, probably more folks fish straight lines over a connector leader to main line.

Yep, good call.

Hang in there, looks like they’re getting caught up.

Awesome! Thank you Sir.

Well it happened! After a mere five month wait (including two weeks “lost in shipping”) my Edge rods have arrived. And I must say they are spectacular! Beautifully constructed, extremely light and total comfort in hand. I wasn’t sure if I would like the carbon over cork but man,,,I love it. I have had two Curado MGL’s and one Vanford sitting in wait for the rods. The light/medium/heavy will get spooled with Smackdown 20# The MH Moderate with 30# Smackdown The Vanford spinning with 15# Smackdown and accordingly required leader. These are my favorite set ups by far, as long as they have the correct cast ability and sensitivity. That’s saying a lot as they are replacing GLoomis IMX and GLX rods and ‘ole greenie Curado reels. The weight difference between rigs is amazing so hoping the new outfits stand up to their predecessors. Stepping outside the Shimano box my Diawa Tatula/ Procyon spinning rig will complete my canoe fall setup. Chomping at the bit to get them on the water!

I’m new to the rig as I’m usually a hard core Texas- rig guy. Been trying it out sparingly but going to use it more this fall……. successfully, I hope! Thanks for the video

Inputting on Microsoft Copilot using your prompts, changing dates and location of course, I’ve come up with very similar recommendations as my Bassforecast app. Although the AI gives more in depth presentation methods in stead of just recommended lures. I like it! I think this can be an aid in breaking down and fishing new lakes. Well done. Thanks for teaching an old dog new tricks!

Yeah, don’t mean to depress you, just giving an honest estimate. Forget about them and they’ll show up eventually. I’m sure they are another fine example of Gary Loomis’s brilliant work!

Ok, I can give you a hint on your wait. I just got a notice my three Edge rods will be delivered tomorrow,,,,after FIVE MONTHS!! Order in April, went to “production” end of May and shipped two weeks ago. They were “lost” in the USPS ether, resulting in filing a “lost mail” search and four days later I received a delivery notice. I’m not familiar with them either but sure hope the wait is worth the cast! I would suspect your delivery in January, maybe. Good luck!

Welcome to Bassresource @Grumpy232! I have This in the GLX 6’8” HF and really like it. It’s a very versatile rod and fishing from a canoe (kayak) the length makes it maneuverable in tight spots. I use 20# flurocarbon and even at an ounce it handles it fine. It’s a versatile rod, flipping, pitching, creature baits and big Texas rigs are all doable. Now, you’re fishing heavier cover and potentially bigger fish so the additional length of a 7’1” would probably be a plus.

Whats your travel rod that you keep with you, I assume a spinning outfit of some sort?

Yeah it’s more about what depths I want to cover more than what bait for me determines how many rods. If I have a rod for top water (frog-buzz-popper), shallow mid water (spinner bait-wake bait-swimjig), mid depth (crank bait-swimbait-lipless) and bottom ( Texas rig-tube-creature) I feel I have all the bases covered. All my rods are MBR and easily cover several baits for each depth so in reality I only require four rods,,,,,but usually carry five! Go figure……….

I saw a couple on eBay from $13.99 to $20.00!

We spend many hours every month at the Cancer clinic. We all have our cross to bear Sorry @webertime for hijacking your thread!

Apply it before you go out, at home. I seriously don’t feel a sent of suntan lotion is worse than all the lure lotions, reel sprays and colored markers used. I also seriously doubt a crankbait swimming by, after being thrown 100 times is a deterrent because I put on lotion seven hours ago. Sure lathering up your hands and then stringing on a 10” worm may be an issue, but common sense is a wonderful tool. @webertime I like the Lestoil recommendation! I use chemicals, drive a gas guzzling truck and smoke cigars but don’t eat processed meat or cheese. That crap will kill ya!

That’s what suntan lotion is made for! Don’t live your life afraid of life.

Never leave home without it,,,,,,all.
