4 wheel drive vs. All whell drive?
http://www.powertrax.com/powertrax/tractioninfo.html Probably a lot more info than you wanted but still a good read on traction. Watch the videos on the Powertrax web site. Pretty amazing. By the way, my 93 Jeep Cherokee has the New Process 241 (Selec-Trac) transfer case that has a setting for Full Time 4x4 that can be used year round in any condition, dry pavement included. Bassectomy, I've been meaning to ask you, is that a wimeriener in your avitar?

Just a plain jig head and a piece of plastic
Hey Muddy, Get some ballhead jigs in whatever weight you need and some 3-4 inch curly tail grubs. I like Zoom Fat Alberts but there are tons out there that work well. It can be deadly while vertical jigging but can be just as effective while swimming.

Can I put a jig on a C rig?
Not that I am aware of. Lead is heavy and sinks. A chatterbait has a blade on the front of it that wobbles side to side on the retrieve, banging the blade off the jig head making a chattering sound and a lot of vibration. The chatterbait is also meant to be a swimming type bait. A jig is usally hopped or drug on the bottom but it can also be used as a swimming bait. Now back to the original question. No one is stopping you. Go ahead and try it, may work great. Then again it may not, but you will never know unless you try!

Need a new tow truck... Advice ? Suggestions ?
I don't know if it's still the case or not but I used to work with a guy who drove a Dakota with a V-6 and his wife drove a Durango with a V-8. Probably 2002-2004 models not sure. Just normal everday driving the Durango with the V-8 actually got 2-3 miles more to the gallon. Just something to think about.

300,000 Miles
Right now I have a 93 Jeep Cherokee with a 4.0 and 188,000. Still runs strong and burns no oil. I had a 94 Thunderbird with a 4.6 that had well over 300,000, probably closer to 4-500,000 miles on it when I sold it. Don't really know for sure as the odometer quit working on it shortly after I bought it with 125,000 showing. Drove it 80 miles a day to and from work for almost 5 years after that plus alot of long distance family vacations. It was starting to burn some oil, but still ran pretty strong when I sold it.

trouble with soft plastics slipping
Not sure where Jig Man gets his clips but Eagle Claw makes a hook with a clip that are real close. I bought a bunch on sale at Wal-Mart a few years back and take the keepers off and put them on EWG hooks. They work great!

Split Grips
Thanks! I just sanded it smooth with some fine grit sandpaper, washed it down with water, polished it with polishing compound, and then waxed it with car wax. I really like the way it looks. It has a dull graphite finish to it. I removed the foregrip a a couple of weeks ago. On this rod it was super easy. It had on of those twisting cork forgrips with a thin metal sleeve on the end. Cut the cork, break the sleeve, and that was about it.

Braid - All the Same?
Possibly true. I have read awhile ago in NAFC and maybe Bassin' that all braid was made by Spectra and (?), some other company. That was a while ago and I'm not sure it was true even at the time I read it.

Fix up truck or put towards newer truck?
Keep the old truck. It's paid for and fixing the few problems you may have will never equal a new truck payment. Ohh and get the tranny cooler. Every 20 degrees you lower the tranny's temp will double its life!!!
