As uncultured as I am I double checked, just in case he was referring to an artist named Will Ross, and when I found this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Charles_Ross) I thought "wow there really is a will Ross" and then thought I would make a joke about Bob... guess we're all a bunch of uncultured fishermen and my joke was accidentallyserious haha... unless he did mean actual Will Ross in which case dang bro, impressive art history knowledge

I'm happy to make you a custom spinning rod with a casting rod backbone and whatever taper you prefer for just the cost of materials. If you're losing fish when they bolt and you're compensating for tight drag by moving your arms/rod it seems you've identified the issue. You're drag is too tight for too long. I fish similarly weedy waters, always weary a dive could bring up 8# of weeds as a hat for a 2# bass. I've come to prefer a tight drag for the hook set, the beginning of the fight, and if they feel big I'll loosen the drag a touch to let the hook/ line move with them instead of yanking it out. Drag adjustment is a bit easier on baitcaster, but I have no doubt you could find a good rhythm and become very comfortable doing that on your spinning set up. I've even started adding drag clickers to my baitcasters so I can have a better sense of what my drag/ the fish is doing. PM me if you want to talk about a spinning rod to get a custom designed tool for you specifically

Poor choice of words...was trying to convey backbone...sorry man The rest of us know what you meant bro, no need to apologize, you good

A good teacher always asks the right questions, we appreciate you Katie You mean Bob?

What is on the top left next to the swamp lords? And which rage plastic is that? I grabbed a bunch of rage swimmers, mostly 4.75 and some 3.75. It was an Amazon HAUL special? Everything was 50-60% off. They run something like that through the year too, a month or 2 ago I loaded up on a 40-50% sale... always different stuff. I'm the Amazon app you have to click HAUL, there are no crossover listings on the general Amazon page FREAKIN SWEET BRO!

Which ones? Same here haha 25 days of Christmas baby 💯

What was the maximum? Your might've hit your maximum "daily super deals" which i literally got 2 items for free - ball bearing swivels and some snaps and then a rod rack for like 82 cents. Copped some Swamp Lords from $2.50-$3, SK Final Copy for $3.12, SK Rage Swimmer $2.56, Berkley Slobberknocker with Power Stingers kit for $4.41, SK double buzzbait for $3.65, Dobyns Swimbait Head 3 pack for $0.92, REELX grease for $5.27 and a few knock off things cuz they're all the same anyway. Probably coulda got more, but a few things were low on stock and some things became unavailable while I was looking at other atuff... I might take another look later

Like what?

Okay, I'm using the app, and when I clicked "remove" it would remove and then automatically populate again. Because of this I never scrolled down to the "pay" button, and you're right, there's a box down there you can click. They definitely made it very obscure to remove that fee, especially when the button designed to remove it which says remove doesn't remove it. Thorne bros is already moving Omnia down from not only my number 1 spot, but basically the only place order tackle from.

Nope, I deleted from cart after going back, then click checkout and it automatically pops up again.

Apparently paid Pro membership no longer includes free shipping, automatically adds a "returns and package protection" fee, additional charge increases depending on your items Might not need pro anymore since 50 bucks is free shipping anyway

Where you seeing this? I got no email (and i have pro), site doesn't show that, app doesn't show that, Facebook page... this is clearly a top secret sale.

You did the right thing, like a prepper that meets the day he's been waiting for

I didn't realize what I had back then and didn't get enough, was too budget conscious to know I should blow it all at once there

I copped some bronzeye 65/90 and poppers. Couple creepers too because this is some killer discounts. I almost bit, especially cuz when you put in your email address you get $20 off of $75, for $89 I almost just grabbed it... but I definitely dont need another reel, and if I do, I definitely dont need a reel that loads 125 yards of 16#. I dont even have enough rods for the reels I already have But thanks for sharing

I'm big on Bubble gum soft jerkbaita, might as well make a bladed jig and spinnerbait out of it. Good call Gonna put this recipe on the menu, thanks So i should add UV paint/ UV materials if possible? I've thought about that before, got some UV Thread to wrap with.

So you just fish it like you would any old silicone jig?

Black, I mostly fish at night. So for when I get the chance to day fish I don't even know what to throw. I know the forage is sun fish, craws, and then depending on which pond/lake herring when they're running. Some shiners here and there and stocked trout a couple times a year. How do you fish those for bass? Sounds like i was on the right track, thanks Tom

What are the real "must have colors"? Essentials that can go into almost any build as a base or accent? Obviously some kind of green pumpkin with barbs or other contrast. And some kind of white with scales. What are some good recipes?

I plan to put these on jigs, spinnierbait, chatterbaits, buzzbaits for the rest of my life. I'm not pouring the lead, have no way to do that and no way to make a way to do that. I have purchased a bunch of different 10 packs over the past year or so, but really had no idea about composition and how to make a skirt look "right" I definitely like the selection, I'll see what blanks Friday looks like Happy to hear, I'll explore more over there, I definitely liked their prices

This place legit? https://shartopfishingtackle.com/index.php/product-category/silicone-tabs-for-fishing-skirt-material/ $3 for a 10 pack of tabs is a rip off, I have seen on AliExpress for a buck or less, so I know theres better deals available somewhere. I'm happy to buy a 10 pack of 10 packs for 10 bucks, maybe a little more for a cool color. Even the sheets Siliconetabs.com has some decent deals, but only on select items and deals change. Where do yall get your skirt material from?

Grab some plastidip, lots of color options that might appeal to your esthetic

You can also do this with rubber chair leg covers, at least this way you can test what you like for weight without permanently changing anything

Man after my own heart right here I'm with you on this Now how do you feel about adding weight to a rod?
