It depends on your feelings about that rod. Either get it fixed locally or get going on shopping for a new rod. I would do the new rod thing, because it's much more fun. Good luck.

It beats the skunk.

Strike King RES, 1/2 ounce, Sexy Shad or one of the chrome variants. Both the 2-taps & regulars are great fish catching lures.

Great rod choice from a great company.

Yup --->>> Knipex mini bolt cutters.

Solunar or lunar tables never coincide with my "I want to go fishing" table. Fishing is supposed to be fun, don't make it more complicated - that's my take on it.

Nice fish! I usually use a trailer on my spinnerbaits. Glenn May has a good video on spinnerbaits --->>> http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-videos/spinnerbaits-bass-fishing.html

You can't go wrong with a St Croix rod. Pair it with a Stradic & you'll be in fishing heaven. Beware of being too economical (cheap), you get what you pay for. You can pick up some great used fishing gear in the Fishing Flea Market forum.

I like the Buff products. Check them out. I'm glad you're being proactive with the sun protection - smart move!

It's nice that you acknowledged how Bass Resource helped you. Glenn May has a done a fantastic job creating, managing, & instructing on this website. Kudos to the Mods also for helping to maintain the integrity of this great bass fishing website. I enjoy sharing in this community of fishermen & women. Tight lines.

Thanks for sharing the video with us.

I agree with Sam. Having your own launch would be so convenient. I think you would regret not doing it, especially having to tow 20 minutes away when the lake is in your backyard. I'm sure it would increase the value of your new property. I'm not sure what restrictions or regulations the town has about this proposed launch. You're going to have to do some research. Good luck.

The Pflueger President is a tank. Get it & use the extra $40 you saved to buy more lures.

Very little, if any at all. They have sponsors for one main reason = $$$. We all know that fish are finicky, so what Pros say works there may not work here where you fish. I know one thing for sure - fishing gear catches more fishermen than fish. The bait monkey has proven that many times.
