I have seen where auto upholstery shops can fix small tears with that vinyl paints stuff and looks great.

Good medium action spinning rod covers tubes, grubs and dropshot. Crank rod for cranks and jerkbaits. And a medium heavy baitcaster for 1/2 to 3/4 football heads, and C rigs. With these 3 rods, your smallie ready.

I'm new to the forum, it looks like alot of great information. I live in Idaho, and most of our fishing revolves around smallmouth. After multiple years of verrry serious pursuit of bass, including a year on the FLW tour, the economy has caused me to scale back a bit. I also have returned to fishing commercially in Alaska, it was my career for about 20 years. Unfortunately, it is during the spring and summer. I still own a bass boat, and fish as often as possible. And very much enjoy stories about catching bass, and the new techniques that are constantly emerging.
