Edwin Evers' seminars on spring fishing were interesting. He also had a lot of good things to say about MLF pro tour. The anglers picked the locations and dates so the lakes will be at their best. He also said they have the flexibility to set the minimum weight for a scoreable bass. So if they fish Falcon, they could set the limit to three pounds instead of one pound. Should be exciting. The Cups are still fished 'in the dark', meaning they don't know where they'll fish. Can't wait.

No food. Just lots of good, gently used gear.

I plan on going Friday as well. I'll probably wear a grey VT hat (granddaughter's school) or an OSU hat.

Talk to the folks at G2 Gemini. My club designed our own shirts and they weren't that expensive. We had options in different price points for long sleeved technical shirts to collared varieties. They might even help you out being a high school club and all.

Check your kill switch?

It's called The Tackle Box. A couple local fishermen took the shop over from an elderly couple. Still mom and pop-ish but with a lot of current stuff. Enjoy

Jimmy Houston, KVD, and Hank Parker. KVD's video on spinnerbaits pretty good too.

Not sure what part of AL you live but there's an awesome Tackle Shop in Oxford, AL. I used to stop in there whenever I could while on travel for work. Oh, congrats on the diploma.

I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip.

Get some quality reel oil and reel grease. Use the oil sparingly as a little goes a long way on bearings. Use the grease on gears, that includes cogs and the levelwind worm gear.

I took the new rod for a spin. It works as advertised. Handles the light jerkbaits just fine. The short handle really makes the snap snap retrieve a breeze.

I just bought one today and plan on trying it tomorrow. I'll let you know how well it works out.

The Lews Speed Spool is an outstanding reel.

Google 'Red Phillips Knot' if you want an easy and strong, small knot to attach your leader to a braid main line.
