punching is pitching up in the air with heavy weights.

I've heard that a blend of Kentucky bluegrass and sin semilla will grow taller, or was it higher...

I mostly fish inline spinners in late winter early spring, not because they won't catch year round, but because the grass and weeds make it too much of a chore, and there are better choices to fish around the green stuff then. Inlines have the "beginner" and "dink" moniker firmly stuck to them, and they are not untrue, but they are much more than that. A spinner will not spin, or will be reluctant to do so for a few different reasons. First it could be the blade, either it's shape, size, or the balance it creates with the body, second it could be the clevis, wrong size, or burred or distorted, lastly it could be the bearing bead, some use plastic or hollow metal, which are more prone to create friction, and of course it goes without saying it could be the wire, or assembly of the spinner. I make my own, it's not hard, and I can make them do what I want. A heavy double #3 with a bucktail behind it catches everything.

Yes.

Black and GP will work fine in clear water, if it's a head thing get some watermelon.

Yeah, those mag brake only reels are not great. Try using higher viscosity oil in the spool bearings, or a Daiwa...

That's going to fish like a med rod, you may like it or not, but it will be different. An inch or two makes a big difference. TWSS.

I will say this, the way he is tying the uni portion is the easiest way to tie a uni to a hook or lure, I would make the circle bigger to make it easier to get the wraps around. Takes longer to get the clippers out and snip than to tie and cinch. I've had folks standing in front of me ask "what's that knot?" and not believing it's a uni, until I slow it down and show them. Which is why just tying another uni makes more sense to me here.

My knots don't slip.

How is that easier than a uni to uni or a modified Albright?

That makes it even better! Good deal.

Neither has anyone else, they come in #8 and #10. Glad you liked the rod. 6'6" to 6'9" Med rod is a sleeper size, mine get a workout year round.

"Borrowed" like nail clippers, nail files, and nail polish...

"Nurse Ratchet, Ward B, Nurse Ratchet Ward B Stat!" For me, A-rigs, I still ain't casting no umbrella.

"Change the plus to minus, and the minus to plus, IT. COULD, WORK!"...

Oh, yeah, I fish most lures with the stock hooks until they fail, not these, I change them out right away. I get them while on sale and they are a bit under $6. It's one of my best cold water JBs. I find the 110 is a better lure in slightly warmer water, even then I have 3 or 4 other JBs that I like better than the MB. To each his own, but most of the ones I own, I have from fishing JBs with guys for pinks.

I read that somewhere.... OP, I like the Shadow Rap down to about 6',

LOL. I can usually find some sort of compromise with most beavers, some just don't get it.

We were fishing in a small center console in front of the keys over the reef, hooked a small yellow tail maybe 8-10" and as I quickly reeled it in to try to get it away from the cudas, a blackfin tuna came up at full speed and tried to eat eat and knocked itself out on the hull, made a huge thud. Gaffed it and put it in the cooler.

LOL

I can see that.

Thanks, (If my wife asks, that's all of them ) The Pop-X is in a box with a bunch of poppers with no rear hooks, I took them off to put on spinners. I just found a Pop-R in progress, It's stripped down to bone, and just needs the hole in the filed lip filled with a little JB Weld. I think it's going to be a good one. I used to enjoy tying feathered trebles, but now it seems like work, I gotta do a bunch. I get my Yellow Magics from Japan, the ones you get here are not as good.

There are no bass in SOMD.... I don't fish Super Flukes that much anymore (for no particular reason), but when I do it's usually on 10 or 12 lb.

I find 15 lb mono is enough to keep pickerel from biting me off and I fish it straight, for snakeheads, I'll go with 40 braid and 30 or 40 lb test mono leader, both for the teeth, and to apply max pressure to keep them pinned and yank them out of the slop. No spinning, no braid for poppers, It can work, but I have the muscle memory for mono.

There was a show on TV (brain games maybe) that illustrated this phenomenon, they baked two identical cakes and had a taste testing, one was labeled much more expensive than the other, almost without fail people would praise the taste of the costlier one and criticized the cheaper one. It isn't a matter of folks being dishonest, there is a real perceived difference between the ears.
