Shoot, I'd take one of them 18' Lund Pro-V Bass...not gonna be greedy. Just something I can take more than 2 people fishin' in.

I'm a chatterbait junkie.
On a mod-fast rod like my St. Croix Spinnerbait rod or Skeet Reese Spinnerbait/worm rod, 30lb braid with a 15-17lb fluoro leader.
On my custom or my NRX+ 883 BJR, straight...

Yeah, I typically color code the rod gloves. Green and blue are moving bait rods, orange is bottom contact. My reels are all color coordinated too. Green handles 6.6:1, blue 7.3:1, gold 8.1:1. ...

I gotta go with the others that mentioned St. Croix 68mxf, or the Legend elite 610mxf. They are from the land of spinning rod jerkbait fishing up in Wisconsin.

Everyone is different.
I remember when I won a gift card on black friday at Bass Pro many years ago, I bought my first "high end" rod, an $89 St. Croix Triumph spinning rod. Up to that point, it...

Largemouth: 5.xx on a 3/8oz Buckeye mop jig, strike king rage craw trailer, Green pumpkin
Smallmouth: 4.8 on Power Team Lures Finicky Tickler 5" finesse worm in Oxblood Red Flake (the old version)

Watched my son's playoffs for midget hockey. Watching competitive fishing (especially live) is just boring now. It was ok for a couple years, but now it's meh...And not because of that.

I don't have the quality of fish that most of you have, but I have had FAR better success with 95-100mm jerkbaits like the 110 Jr. than the fullsize ones. My go to has been the LC Flash Pointer 100,...

I never throw bigger than 3/8oz and in open water, it works fine. I haven't thrown it in really heavy vegetation, but I wouldn't go over 3/8oz on it. I did throw a 1/2oz on it once and it felt...

No problem. I didn't build it until the end of the summer, so I only got one day out with it, but it feels great. AmTac G2 grips, longer handle, NRX guide train...you can really feel the blade...

Plano Edge 3700 Terminal tackle box. Bought some extra containers and keep them in their own box in a box.

Best I ever used was the Berkley Havoc Subwoofer. I use the Zako a lot, and the Zman twin tail some. No luck with the spunk shad style trailers though.

I throw a lot of Jewel Peewee football jigs in 3/16 and 5/16oz. I've used several rods well. iRod 733C "Lone Star Special" works well. NRX+ 893C and believe it or not, the 883C BJR are fantastic...

iFS904. Cut the butt down 3" to make it 7'3".

I just started building rods about 6 months ago. Mostly, I wanted to see if I could do it, and I had ideas of what I feel was the perfect rod for a technique, but nobody made it. So I wanted to...

I'm not a fan of glass rods for anything.

For a long time I used a Skeet Reese spinnerbait/worm rod for chatterbaits. Never any hookup problems or lost fish. I tried a few others.

iRod...

I'd go 844 MBR. Even a GLX or IMX Pro would work since you don't like the recoils.

In other news, clowns still honk their noses...

pffft. Sunday it was -8 here with -25 windchill. I finally had to put a jacket on instead of just a hoodie.

Ok, so I've dealt with this a bit. You cannot just put LED bulbs (or HID for that matter) into Halogen housings. You not only won't actually be seeing all that much better, but because of the way...

So I have used both the Mothers and the 3M with lasting success. A couple things. If you can, get some automotive clear coat. Do everything they ask in those kids, then use clear coat and buff. ...

I'm as OCD as it gets so I have a digital scale that goes down to .01g. I've weighed a bunch of different reel seats, inserts, handles...
Fuji ECSM reel seats are about 23.5-24.25g (0.83-0.855oz)....

DeWalt is Craftsman (technically both are Stanley Black & Decker). Essentially the same internals (some drills have the exact same part numbers on the motors and such).

Milwaukee and Ryobi are...

I'd have to get a picture, but I have dove deep into the OCD end of my mind for organization. I started using a Brother P-touch label maker to label my boxes. I got several different colors of tape...

I listen to music almost all day, every day. That includes fishing. I wanted to install a stereo in my boat, but couldn't find a good place to install speakers, so I just sold the stereo.
