I've been dealing with this since my 30's. Had to stop using a spinning rod and switch to a casting rod due to my right hand getting so numb, I couldn't feel my fingers. Now, my left hand will cramp...
I use CI and JR's. Both are great.
In NJ, a 5lber is huge. I probably have only caught a dozen in that range in 30+ years of fishing the Garden State. Best time of year for me is late March and early April for bigger fish. I fish...
I use Ian Shields. You can find him at jdmfishing.com or email him at REEL_TUNER@YAHOO.COM.
I throw LC Pointer 78, MB 110 Jr, 110+1 Jr, Jackall DD Squirrel, and X-Rap 04 on casting rods. I use 8lb flouro, a med light casting rod, and a small casting reel.
I throw 3/8 and 1/2 oz plus trailer and like a med heavy mod fast rod. The two I use are Megabass Valkrie 7'1" MH and a Megabass P5 Madbull.
LM 7lb 4 oz - jerkbait
SM 4 lb 4 oz - jerkbait
Smallies if I fish a lake with both.
I catch them right after ice out with a chatterbait.
7 FT mod fast. I use a Magabass P5 Madbull for squarebills and a Megabass XX Flat Side Special for medium divers.
I use Daiwa Steez CT SV's. They are great in the wind for me. If it's blowing over 20 mph, I will usually tie on a 130 size jerkbait as they cast a lot better into the wind due to the heavier...
If I'm fishing for one big fish, I would use a jig. If I'm trying to catch a few, than the dropshot. The best choice is a jerkbait, which is not on the list.
The MB 110's are great but if you are only throwing 1 brand, you are missing out. I can't tell you how many times I was losing them on the 110 and switched to an X Rap or Jackall Rerange and killed...
Had a 5 bone prime rib from the local butcher a few weeks ago. It was $220.00. It fed 7 and we had leftovers for a couple days. Cheaper than going out.
Castle Island Camps on Long Pond in Belgrade Maine. You can't beat the hospitality and the fishing is great.
Never East Shredded Wheat. Words to live by.
I fish very light drop shot presentations in 10 feet or less of water most of the time. The best I have found is a Phenix K2 713ML. A close second is NRX 822 DSR.
Matrix Reloaded was better than the 1st I thought.
I was on the site a few days ago and the way it reads, they are no longer doing reel repair and maintenance. This is directly from the site.
The Tackle Trap is accepting only DAIWA WARRANTY or...
73 Chevy Nova bought in 1988 for $400. Couldn't kill that thing. I gave it away when I was 20 to another new driver.

So true
I never knew Master of Puppets was about drug addiction when I was young, and I listened to that song hundreds of times. I wonder if James Hetfield wrote it about Dave Mustaine?
I use a 1/4 oz Keitech round ball head and rig with the hook exposed when fishing for smallmouth. I use a spinning rod with a stinger tip which is very soft. I have 15lb braid with a 6 ft flouro...
