Replied on Image illustrating Rod Action

Here is a little more information - https://www.barderodz.com/. I am still building out the website. I have built several handcrafted bass fishing rods over the years and repaired some as well. This started as a desire to build high quality rods for myself and a few fellow anglers. I am currently building Kevin S. a couple of Spinning rods.

Kevin Skovenski - The blanks are in the building, and hand-crafting will be completed this week. The blank that I thought would be an exact match was. The new Blank is 7'2" versus BLat Sick Stick, which is 7'1", and the other blank I ordered is a bit more moderate action with a little less power. It should be suitable for open water drop shots, etc.

Thanks Tim Dodson Right now, I am in sync with the conditions at my local lake and using a lure that I trust. However, these conditions will change, and I will need to adapt. The key for me is to understand that I have to adjust and follow the pattern that the fish are indicating, rather than sticking to the pattern I want to work with.

I had a case of Mondays at work, so I went fishing in the late afternoon. I had two hours before dark. In the first 45 minutes, I caught five 2+ or 3+ pounders for an over-10-lb bag. I caught five more after that. It was a great afternoon/evening on jigs!
