What kind of girl is the prettiest? Highly subjective and largely dependent upon your intentions.

What tool in your tool box is "best"? A 12" Crescent wrench. In addition to its obvious intended use, it can also be used as a hammer or a pry bar

I prefer a bait casting reel for all applications, including drop shot and shakey head. Skipping docks is a little bit more difficult with this rig, but you CAN do it, but you better have an educated thumb. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Garcia, Shimano, Diawa, Quantam and Lews are pretty good but you can catch bass on Zebco too and they're a lot cheaper.

As others have pointed out, not a great way of thinking about reels, but I would venture to say that in Texas, a bait caster is used much more frequently than a spinning reel in bass fishing...

Wow... catching fish is not about equipment. It's all about holding your mouth right.

Depends on what I'm throwing and weather conditions. I prefer baitcasters but if the wind is in my face and I'm throwing a small jerkbait conditions will have me using a spinning rod. I always have at least one spinning rod on deck but probably 5-6 baitcasters rigged to throw. Yesterday on Ray Hubbard the better fish wanted a pointer 65 swimming with the wind for me to get bit consistently which had me casting a 3/16oz jerkbait into the wind on a spinning rod. I do what the fish tell me to do.
