Is a comfort choice, to me. And balance. I prefer, like blue, to only have my pinkie behind the reel seat, typically. There are times I will put all my fingers up, but that is a rare thing. Do like having my index finger on the blank, if possible, for better feel.

Have considered them in the past, but have been swayed to avoid... http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/121672-kipawa-trolling-motor-prop/?hl=kipawa

Hi Tim, and welcome aboard!

Welcome, Bryce!

About $2.43 here in the Hampton Roads area, depending on the area, will be +/- a few pennies

Awesome! Well done!

Welcome aboard, Chase!

I use a leader 100% of the time. Do you *have* to? No. Plenty of folks use straight braid and have success. It is a personal choice, there's no hard-fast rule for how or when to use a leader. My bottom line is that braid is expensive while a spool of fluoro or mono or copoly isn't when used a leader. You can retie lures, hooks, etc., with a 6-10 foot leader a bunch of times w/o having to dig into your braided mainline - until a new leader is tied on. So for me it is a money issue and I also have 100% confidence in using a leader. So for me - a win/win.

Thanks for that. We are all keeping close tabs on Dad. My eldest sis was with him last night, he didn't sleep much... And thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I know so many have gone through this with a family member and can empathize with me. Will know more today as they are looking for my Mom to be able to respond with a thumbs up following reduction of her sedatives, and before removing her breathing tube.

I know many of you here pray, and send positive thoughts in times of emergency.... My Mom suffered a stroke, pretty severe, this morning and the prognosis, though early, is not good. I'm the youngest of 5 kids, I'm 45, almost 46. My Mom was doing great the other day, and I hugged her, rubbed her shoulders, told her how much I loved her. Today, she is intubated, has severe damage to parts of her brain that controls language, speech, understanding. Emotions have been up and down and down again. I'm just sharing this to ask for prayers for my Mom, my Dad, who's "okay" but he's not processed it fully just yet, I think. They've been married for 63 years, I believe. This is a shock to him. She's a wonderful woman, has put up with me her whole life, LOL. Thanks everyone in advance. Darren

43 eh! A good year. Happy B, John.

Welcome aboard "not really" Xander!

Have used Floroclear for years, though less lately since I've been using more Yo-Zuri Hybrid (several 600 yard spools to go thru)... Floroclear is a very good line, IMO, despite some here hating it. I've not have any problems with it from 6 to 15 pound test (as leader).

Welcome aboard!

Congrats :-) Enjoy these days, they go soooooo fast. My eldest is graduating high school and (hopefully) entering the Army at some point thereafter. I have 3 more boys to go after him, but the years go way too fast....
