## Resource

Today we have a killer show that ends with a KILLER deal, on one of the best selling rods of the last 5-10 years! It's a deal so good, you have to do a double take, but I promise, it's real. We also tackle the topic of scented soft plastics in this week's fishing poll, and in the mailbag we discuss rod and reel cleaning, the Tatula X vs Shimano SLX XT, budget musky setups, and more!
