Hey what's that Garmin bracelet you have on your wrist? Some of the new products they're coming out with are unbelievable.

It's a remote for my Virb Elite. I can turn it on, start/stop recording, and take pictures by pushing a button on my wrist instead of on the camera. 

No braid stretches. Those who say you need 50# braid min don't realize the 20# braid won't stretch. But a stiff rod will help.

 

I broke down last night and bought a Pad Crasher in each size and some 50# Power Pro to go with it. I'm going to dedicate a rod to it.

I don't understand this fascination with making hollow body frogs walk the dog.  I don't know where you guys throw yours, but I throw mine in the absolute muck and I sure as heck ain't worried about making it do tricks.  I HATE the action of the Scumfrog dogwalker they have out now.  If I'm walking, it's in open water with something that rattles and makes a ton of noise.  Do you really throw hollow bodies in open water?

Yes, I walk through boat docks that have the problems of floating sparse weeds, thr frog skips well, also sometimes around blue gill beds walk it almost in spot and wait for a biggen thinking it's a wounded gill....

20# test braid is too thin for baitcasters, it will dig into itself often. would probably work for a newbie on a heavier spinning setup.

20# braid is very thin though and has a tendency to dig into itself worse than a heavier braid. Plus it takes more to fill the spool than a heavier braid. It's more of a performance issue for me. I don't know anyone who thinks lighter braid stretches? I use braid down to 10# on my spinning gear for the simple fact that it doesn't stretch and I can get better hooksets with light tackle.

It's not so much straight in open water, but most of the grass I fish is just within the first few feet of the shoreline. So when I clear those weeds I'll walk the bait slowly right at the edge of the grass, then quickly the rest of the way to the boat. Being able to walk a bait in holes in the grass is a big bonus to because I can impart action on the bait without moving it forward very far. I had them hit the bait as I was walking it just past the weedlines a couple times on Tuesday.
