Re: Boat build project

I fish out of a 14' aluminum, that I made into basically a mini bass rig. I keep the TM battery up front, you're going to have your motor and gas tank in the back already, so I don't see any reason to move the battery back there and add any additional weight. Mine already rides fairly low in the bac...

Re: To many broken rods

Could it be that with rods getting so much lighter and sensitive they are losing durability? Seems to me that with a lot of products there is really not much compromise between performance and durability. It's one or the other. Could this be why so many of the high end rods seem to break?

First off I am far from an expert, but a good place to start would be just about any top hook soft trout bait in 6-8" range slow rolled always making contact with the bottom and fish it uphill. There are tons of choices of baits out there, just pick a few and start slinging em.
