The sad part is that most folks probably don't know Memphis is Egyptian, or that Hampshire, Jersey, and York weren't always new...

I like a bullet or brush head, followed by an arkye one, as long as the hook is decent, not brand loyal.

Depending on the size of the swimbaits, 20-30 lb mono, BG or Ande.

It's not either of those.

Jr, that's what I was thinking. I have some unpainted blanks, I gotta see if they have 2 or 3 hooks... Time to see the optometrist...

Yes, but hook setting is only one thing of 5 or 6 things a rod does while fishing. So if one wants to keep the same hookset motion used with mono (not sure why they'd want to) , then yes a rod one power down or so would do the trick, but when you start fighting the fish (pretend with me that LMB actually fight) then one action slower will be nice to cover up fish fighting technique flaws.

Same advise I give cyclists for lubing their chains. A lot of guys end up loving their drivetrains to an early grave.

I have some BOGO coupons for Miracle Whip, Spam, and Velveeta, just let me know where to send them to you...

The problem with the way you worded the question is that it's not just the power that seems to be affected, it's also the action, and recoil speed, so while yes, less rod is required for braid v mono (all else being equal) for a given presentation, and power may seem the most obvious, it's only part of the equation, indeed, given enough angler skill and experience, you could keep the same rod and fish it differently (in theory, LMB guys can't help themselves). It's a system, so you add or subtract stretch, and related shock absorption somewhere along the chain.

Use one of your senses (I suggest sight) to align some sort of reference (I suggest the guides) maybe?... Oh, and rub a birthday candle or crayon on the male side (the actual male, not the hollow one if it's identifying as male) end.

Seeing that's where snelling came from, yeah...

All around, 12-15 lb mono or 30-40 lb braid.

You need some less viscous epoxy with a longer cure time. We make (if they beg) a drying wheel from bicycle parts for a couple of guys who make lures.

Goat yoga should include a packet of curry and some rice...

You can certainly clear coat your lures, but that's almost as silly as sealing cork...

LOL. There is a reason why a good fishing clique includes some guys who can't fish a lick, but have other useful life skills, I would suggest a LEO, a chef, a locksmith, and a marine mechanic goes without saying, you would think guys with hot wives, but that always goes south in the end...

That makes zero sense.

300'x500' is a pretty big retention pond. If it is indeed only a retention pond, and only a year or two old, chances are there are few or no bass in there, but only one way to find out for sure. If it is connected to other spots with fish, they will find their way in there eventually, and some guy will seed it eventually.

LOL. This is what I know, don't argue with fish...

Perfect, find what works and run with it. A 3/8 compact with a willow/Colorado is like the Swiss army knife of spinnerbaits.

No.

Something in the middle, 6. or 7. something.

If you pulled a hamstring, you would know exactly when and how. While not impossible, that sounds like a bogus diagnosis. What does occur often, is that a minor injury which causes pain or discomfort will lead to a change in gait or mechanics, which will then cause an additional, sometimes more severe injury somewhere along the musculature. Didn't go to medical school, didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express, hope for a quick recovery.

Both.
