Spidy-sence

I have had a boat for the last 30 years and haven't needed 4wd for the last 28

I always have a wacky, DS and NEKO tied on, so what ever is closer gets the call. Neko is usually closer?

More than a few would not have picked up on that.....good habits saves lives

It's been a decade since I have been down, I was pretty active for 25 years. That said, given today's electronics, it would be hard to get better feedback below water and fish behavior is even more difficult. Lake diving, unless it is on salvage, can get boring fast. Have fun and enjoy the process.....It's fun!

I wish they still made the silk weight.....mine have seen better days as I used to wear them year round

I think many of the DIY ones on YouTube work better than the ones you get in stores

Like you, I thought I needed one...... it’s still in the package

I am on the Patagonia pro program and have all their gear. Where they fall short of others is in the “no activity” area. My wool base layers shine when I am standing on the mountain 100 days a year..I too am in the snow sports industry

All good stuff mentioned above. i was in a mountain and cold weather unit for years and can tell you that you need to be honest about how active you are going to be as that will dictate your base layer. If your not very active, a Marino wool blend will serve you better than a high tech base layer. Superheating you’re core will also help your extremities stay warmer as your body prioritizes where the blood flows. A good cover is also a big priority!

God give me the patience to dropshot.

@Chief250 is 100% correct I have them all and my MET MGL'S get called for that purpose.

I have 4 different pair in the closet and these are the warmest. I am in the mountains 100+ days a year. https://www.davidmorgan.com/shop/product/1246/80-20-wool-union-suit/?utm_campaign=FRL_1300&gclid=Cj0KCQiAxrbwBRCoARIsABEc9shqQjyad92nvouA3-nQH-MLCxYaofLxQ7Hb5kIBxZxYHvIULaVxKz0aAruyEALw_wcB

Make an informed decision and run with it!

You can’t tell the cost of something until the accounting period is over, so don’t let price be the only factor in your decision. I also believe the saying “if mom isn’t happy, no one is happy”.....the same is true for dad. I for one, am a far easier to be around after a few hours on the water ?

What are the engine hours?

Christmas morning......I didn't get the memo ?

The Fat Ika in the Spring yielded my best results for size and numbers

All things considered it is hard to beat the 31 vmax's. Oddessey is also very good.

I shOld have stipulated "TV media"....and your correct, church shootings are rare and thank God for gun owning parishioners that aren't making decisions on statistics.

Funny that there is almost nothing on this in the media

^^^^^This And You can balance your boat with where you store your gear. Many will say that spotlock will replace a pole, but it doesn't especially in no wind situations

If you can't through 10 braid on a bait caster it is more of a rod and technique problem

That reel should be able to cast that line. If it doesn't, take it back.

To echo the sentiments above, yes..... IMHO they are worth it! All 3 are top producers
