Have had back and shoulder issues going back to the 90's. Have been to the Chiro and it really helped. I bought a inversion table and man that thing is a life saver. Use it every time I have back issues. Work on your core muscles too it really helps.

Only issues I have with the 6in Denali was it always came to the surface when walked. Would kind of blow out. Added a ton of weight to it to keep it down. The Kraken I like the way it swims and stays down well. Not sure if the new ones were addressed with the blowout issue.

Have not been impressed with the Denali for the same reason. Added a bunch of weight to it to get it to keep nosing up. The Kraken I really like the way it swims and stays down.

ChefChris, you still making your rats? Still fish with the ones you made and its gonna be hard to top that 12 I caught with it.

I used to be really good friends with the mailman till he retired years ago. Would text me a box was on his truck and used to drop it off at work. I started leaving baits laying on the table after and they just kinda blended in. Now a days, I just tell her I have ordered a Hooker and yeah she was expensive. Don't hide anything anymore.

Should be fairly easy to get back if you can snag the line with a smaller lure; maybe get over it with a canoe/ yak.

Right now, it's a FE Hater (don't buy from the website by the way, buy from someone that has it in hand if you do). Do want to pick up a BGC Shad Crank down and 86 baits.

First Swimbait was a $20 Mattlures Blue gill. High dollar $100 Wood PB Rat.

I have run the Duracells for about 8 years, but they needed to be replaced every two years; what a pain in the ass. Made the jump to Lithium's. Running Ionics now for the last two years and love them. Blue tooth and the app let you know the state of charge, boat is a lot lighter in the ass end so can draft a little shallower water which can make a difference on some of the rivers I fish.

They have a Trax150 coming out so doubt it.

The best thing I have found is a 30 ft retractable dog leash. Get the heavy duty kind. That thing has saved many a swimbait and AL Rig. retracts quickly and gets you back fishing.

Haha, Bruh did I have a Deja Vu moment reading this post. Anyone still fishing the OG Nezumma rat or Wood PB's from years ago? They used to go for over 200 shekels. My shoes are white Converse with Velcro straps. I Finna be cool at the old folk's home. Ya the hype train just moves on to something else and the market adjusts. All good stuff above.

We have lots of small ponds scattered here in AL, some just old cattle ponds loaded with fish. Funny thinking about how they got in there. I have caught lots of fish up to 8lbs out of a pond less than an acre and maybe 8/10ft deep.

KGB Chads up....No limit.
