My rods and reels stay in my truck during the summer. I have a rod sleeve on each rod. Been doing it this way for several years and have had no issues with my line. I use mono, floro and braid.

Great advise! Hook sets are free! ??

I have 5 Carbonlite 2.0 rods that I have used regularly (3 to 4 days a week) for the past 4 years. They've been a great rod. I have had zero issues with any of them. I have 2 Carbonlite 2.0 reels and 1 PQ2. Same story with those, no issues at all. The only reason that I don't have more of them is, I prefer Shimano and Lew's for my reels. SLX DC, SLX and Lew’s Speed Spool KVD are my main reels. I can’t comment on the cranking rod as I don’t own one.

The only problem with trying to fish one is you have to throw with a pistol grip rod! ?

Never try to second guess the bait monkey! You’ll just confuse yourself! ?

A friend and I were out throwing a popper tonight. It was like magic! ?

Doesn’t matter to me which. Whatever I have on hand is what I use.

You're holding your mouth wrong! ?

Berkley Power Bait products have worked well for me over the years. On non power bait products I use Megastrike on them. I don’t really care what the nay sayers, say or think, for me the proof is in the pudding.

Well d**n! That extra spool thing is a great idea!

Classic picks! I’m looking forward to this one!

Slow down!

Wish that I could make the trip. I’ve always wanted to attend a Classic. Someday....

Just got to see the live stream of the Championship day. Pretty good day of fishing! Ott really put on a show! Never say die, Bobby Lane made a nice couple of catches at the end to take second! Good stuff!

Wow! Hope he's ok!

If I’m fishing mono, I always use the Trilene knot. If I’m using braid or floro then I’m using the Palomar knot. KISS for me.

I tend to abuse my frogging setup. I’m using a Bass Pro, Pro Qualifier 2, 7.2:1 reel on a Berkley Lightening Rod Shock 7’ MH rod. It’s going on it’s 5th season and still going strong!

Why buy a cheap Chinese knockoff which was probably “developed” with stolen intellectual property? I’m all for being frugal but, not at the expense of rewarding those who produce cheap ripoffs. JMHO!

What bait is that?

I’ve had severe allergies my whole life. I take AllerClear (generic Claritin) and Flonase. Adding the Flonase 2 years ago changed my life! That stuff is the bomb!

I don’t think it really matters at this point.

Same here! Btw, thanks @Siebert Outdoors for the great jigs!! Siebert and Greenfish Tackle make my favorite swim jigs!

Im a fan of Bass Pro but, if they buy Zoom I’m afraid they’ll ruin the company.
