Mack Toon and I were discussing the new Berkley Forward braid during a round table.

A lot of what I do is testing gear. Long story short, while the “Forward” model of the Berkley braid absolutely casts further than Daiwa J-Braid or PowerPro x8 with less effort… it has just too many weird negatives to continue to use after a month of thorough testing 5+ days a week. I’m restringing my spinners right now.

Save your money. I can’t recommend it in good conscience.

Watching BLat’s Lake Hartwell on YouTube. Day 2 “… Bullcrap, WAP WAP WAP, WAP, Pause! WAP WAP Pause, he got it!” I was rolling since he saw my style warming up.

Some people I fish with down here are constantly telling me I work a Jerkbait too fast and doing it wrong… as I’m holding the fish with a smile.

I can’t wait to have them watch the video. Thanks B!

AI Analysis - Continuing on Tim's idea, he and I got together and were able to pull some sample sets of Data for Barde's specific need and some other events. Just to give you an idea what is possible from a couple of out of work IT Executive guys with developer resources. 🤡

5lbs 9oz, 21 1/4” on a 1/8oz Purple Rain SMH kit. Usied a Level NGSX610LF with a 1000 size Stradic spinner. Everything used except the reel was bought at the SUF retreat.

Ok it’s time to start the path of getting a boat to open doors to tournaments and expanding the guide service. Let the exercise in patience begin…
