MH Spinning Rod Users ?
Yes, for shakeyheads and 5” senkos, wacky or neko rigged. I’m usually throwing those baits around docks and brush, I feel like a MH gives me a better chance of getting them out or getting a good hook set on a long cast.

Neko Problems
I use the 7 mm arsenal stealth silicone tubes (they have a sizing chart on TW) with 4 and 6” senkos and super glue the nail weight, and definitely skin hook the worm. Works great for spotted bass and skipping floating docks.

Lew's Speed Spool LFS
Yes these are bomber reels. I have 6 and while they aren’t the smoothest or most quiet they get the job done. You get a good range gear ratios to choose from as well

Swimming Worm
Deep, clear water and spotted bass I’m throwing the Keitech. Largemouth,vegetation and shallower water then I’m throwing the speed worm. They are interchangeable to a degree but those are the guidelines I follow. I like to keep both with me no matter what kind of lake I’m fishing.

Fishing around docks
Depending on water clarity, type of dock (floating/ pole) a DT6, 1/2 chatterbait or Neko rig are what I like to throw when my partner is fishing the standards.

Winter Carolina rig
Mostly I’m fishing long points and ditches, dragging for hard spots, stumps etc. Leader length is usually 2-3’. Even though it’s winter time I will still fish it in 6-8’ especially if there is sand, red clay or small rock. If I’m fishing a deep water flat or where a ditch drops into the channel then I’m throwing the 3/4 oz weight.

Anyone have experience with Roboworm ReBarb hooks specifically? Need help sizing
Both, that way I can just change worms to try and dial it in. Brush piles and stuff like that= Texas rig, open water or they’re not eating it that good I will thread the worm on there
