    Double hook line

    Does anyone use a double loop (2 hooks) line? If so I want to fish for fluke using gulp mullet, but want to get away from circle hooks. What type and size do you use, if you do this?

    Power bait dip

    Now I'm not a real fan of power bait. But I use Gulp Alive products, and save the juice. I put my trout magnets in the juice. I saw this today for the first time Power Bait dip (Roe). Has anyone used this?

    Thinking of this to melt lead

    So this spring I want to make sinkers. A little down the road jigs. I'm leaning towards this from Cabela's, what do you think? I've never done this before, so this may be a stupid question.

    How do you transport rods?

    A couple years ago I was going to make a pvc rod holder to transport my saltwater rods on my roof rack. Than I ran across these ski/snowboard holders, at the time they were $65.00 well worth it. I like them because they lock and slide out to reach everything. How do you transport long rods
