Any wind over say 10 mph, my rig will still spin stern to the wind even with two Talons. I fish with the wind at my back all the time. Actually prefer it. So using one talon works here for me too. The 25 inch stern helps but when it's cranking, my bilge pump comes on. A-Jay

I'm finding an area with a little less 'traffic'. A-Jay

They certainly do. I was tired of hamburger hands. Finally broke down and got the gloves. Big difference. Fish Hard A-Jay

My Talons are Least Effective on a rock bottom. Especially when there is wind and wave action. When I fish these conditions I fore go the talons, go old school and simply stay on the trolling motor. A-Jay

Been running have twin 12 ft talons on my rig since 2016. These are the reason I chose them: Electric unit requires no hydraulics I prefer the vertical deployment. My 12 ft models are effective to a depth of 10-11 feet in calm conditions. (a 15 ft version is now available) The user selectable modes for various bottom conditions as well as the 'wave absorption' features have proven very effective for my fishing. One unit is better than none but two offers more of a pinned down feeling when I need it. btw - your bimini top seems like it would restrict casting far more than shallow water anchors ever will; regardless of brand. Good Luck with your decision. A-Jay

LOL ~ I'm trying to make room for my week in Mexico next month. Not much dieting going on there as all bets are off. #fatfest A-Jay

Round reel was my weapon of choice on the rocks as well. #400Btugofwar Fish Really Hard A-Jay

The Power of Choice ~ A-Jay

Forgot to mention that the round reels have been known to do a little damage south of the border a well. Fish Hard A-Jay

While I do like & use low profile reels, Round Revolving Spool gear takes it's fair share of fatties. Fish Hard A-Jay

Hello Paul and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

When it comes to a Texas Rig, you really can't fish it wrong as long as you fish it slow. Including a few sublte hops, drags and pauses can't hurt. Something I like to do is to work it back "without" trying to draw attention to the bait. Basses food rarely wants to get eaten, yet it does. Sneak it back. It's her world, she knows its there.

I'm good on the brown bass locally. However, our fortunes are completely reversed when it comes to quality green bass. I choose to go quite a bit south and bring a passport to get my big green bass fix. (which has included a few new PB's) #worthit Fish Hard A-Jay

Tank's Mom is a White German Shepherd and his dad is a Belgian Malinois. Jury's still out on whether or not those big ears will eventually stand up. A-Jay

10 lb FC club. 48 inch fish but she was Stout. A-Jay

Me too. A-Jay

I am right here as well. Although I've never understood the 'junk' term. Prefer to have as many tools at my disposal as possible. Sort of like a good junk mechanic I suppose. Fish Hard A-Jay

Same set ups I throw my jerkbaits; except I don't use FC. Either M spinning gear with 10 Braid & mono leader or M casting gear with 10 or 12 mono. A-Jay

Does not shimmy on the fall. There is no 'fall'. The bait has a slight side to side roll as it comes to a stop - In Place. #magic btw - I fish it on mono or braid & a mono leader - Seems a FC mainline will goofball quite a bit of what the bait wants to do. A-Jay

Bait's designed to sink a foot or so I guess, but then they suspend very nicely right there. I change the hardware & plus size the hooks, so my baits might go 6 inches deeper ? The magic is the sweet little roll/shimmy on the pause. It takes a second to happen so wait for it. But be careful, you might get your arm broke. Fish Hard A-Jay

Haven't been on the water much myself. Been busy but it's by choice. #tankslife Looks like I might be able to get out end of this week (Friday). A-Jay

Boaters who did that repeatedly were part of job security for 28 years. A-Jay

Not a doubt in my mind Sir ! A-Jay
