Jig Fishing Questions
When you feel the algae and other gunk get on your jig (and do it in the middle of your retrieve even if you do not feel any gunk because chances are there is something on it) quickly pop the rod tip up hard a few times, trying to shake or pop the junk of your bait, cleaning it. You can do this so the jig moves only a few feet, staying in the water and in the strike zone, braid works the best for this technique. Also you can use a lighter jig, a swimming retrieve, and using a bigger trailer like a double wide beaver and full sized brushhog, to reduce the rate fall, doubling up on jig skirts also accomplishes this.

Best frogs
Any spro or snag proof frog is good, River2sea bully wa and spitting wa are pretty nice, and the transporter baits frog is good too, The popping spro frog always has gotten me the most bites. The spro king daddy frog usually gets me bigger fish. The bobbys perfect buzz frog has delivered the most explosive bites.

SPINNING ROD FOR HEAVIER BAITS
Oh that sounds like a fine idea to me, I assumed you were using it for a single hook technique. I would go with the quantum pt rod since it is a more limber rod. That inshore rod will be a meat stick, don't know if you would want to crank with it.

SPINNING ROD FOR HEAVIER BAITS
What would you be using it for? The quantum rod is a medium action so I would think it would be very whippy. But the inshore rod is a good bet. Inshore rods are usually under rated and have a heavier power than labeled. I would suggest the Shimano Clarus 7ft Heavy extra fast spinning rod. I have thrown baits up to two ounces on here. Not practical and I would use a baitcaster with baits 3/8 ounce or heavier. But the decision is up to you.

Getting money for Christmas to buy a rod with....what would you get??
A 6'10'' MH-Heavy action would work well. It would make for a good spinnerbait and frog rod. That is a very good all purpose rod.

What a freaking joke.
Uh, yes it is. http://www.***.com/descpageSFWBERKLEY-BPW10.html# Hmmm, I don't recall anyone ever claiming the Power Worm to be the best ever. Don't be hatin' on Power Worms Burleyman :-? Power worms are garbage. Oh and that fish being caught on a power worm just means she was a loose girl :-X ;D

09 Big Bass Hunt
Pounding one or two lakes on multiple trips(even better if it is everyday), especially in spring. If you do this you can catch big bass with a 4 inch worm. Persistence and patience are good techniques. More than once I have sat on a shallow spawning area for 3-4 days during spring catching buck bass. Only to have a few girls move up ;D

Spinning Swimbait setup?
I don't spinning gear is the right choice for heavy line techniques such as this but...... When I first bought a 7ft Heavy Clarus spinning rod I tried chucking a Mattlures Ultimate blue gill. Using 65lb test braid and a Quantum Energy Pti 40 model, it handled the bait fine. Yet it is unpractical for me because I like using baitcasting gear much better.

She'll see it later honey...
;D ;D CLASSIC Movie. I bought it on tape ahile back I love when Eddie is drinking a cheap beer and smoking a cigar in the morning while emptying his chemical toilet in the storm drain!!! For me it's tied with Scrooged (Bill Murray) as the best Christmas Movie.
