No, A Reverse Clinch Knot is another name for the San Diego Jam. [same knot] The difference between that and the Pitzen is the tag goes through the top loop only of the Pitzen. The tag of the SD Jam or Rev Clinch goes through the bottom loop first then the top. That's why the Pitzen is much smaller. Mike

Joe and Lou gave you excellent advise, I'd head it Also try changing colors, Shorten the legs on the Spro [helped me] If useing a popping frog, try popping it all the way back with no pauses Every few cast's squeeze any water out, keep it nose high Also, What I do is I open the hook's a little, especially if it is a Spro, a Scum frog is much softer so I usually leave them alone. Put a few bead's in the belly Work it with a slack line. Keep at it, it'll come Mike

IMHO, I'ts the best darn soft plastic there is... It's heavy enough to fish with no weight You can modify it if you want. Use as a trailer... Sam said it exactly right Mike

Ah Dem bearsss, Youse Guise shouda bin rouuund when Butkus was nockin da snots outa people... Or waqtched Gail run like da win... Or da bess of dem all..Walter my man!!! Seega Mike

I used the line butter once and gave the bottle away. I applied it the night before. I made my first cast and noticed that it left a slick on the water when the line it the water. I use Line and Lure Mike

Exactly!! GO Bears!! Mike

H Upmann #200 when I want a quickie, or a Corona Major when i don't. Mike

I use a 4/0 skip gap hook for flukes Mike

I have the 7' 2" ASR866C jig rod. I really like it. Before i got that I used my 7ft Fenwick Techna AV mh/f for all bottom contact which I still use for plastic's. The ASR to me is perfect as a jig rod. Sensitive and beefy at the same time. It's heavier than the Fenwick but I don't mind. Mike

Yeah Buddy! I use 50# braid for jig's of all sizes and 20# floro for creature baits. Mike

An old recipe I heard about years ago is anise mixed with baby oil. It last's a long time, doesn't eat through anything and if you believe that atractants are just that, mix a little up and try it. 25% / 75% You'll be surprised Mike

Yep! Mike

Wacky rigged senko Mike

Me too...I just don't see the need for a XF rod. However I can see where a XF may work well for working a jerk bait, but the trebels would worry me. Other than a mod action rod for crankin all my equipement is fast. Of Couse living here in Fla and fishing the mostly shallow grassy lakes a MH/F rod is what i have the most confidence in. Mike

There are so many different styles, by so many different manufactures, for so many different applications, that I buy the jig for that purpose. Add a trailer or not and throw it. But thats just me Mike

Thats what I thought too. Thanks Glenn Mike

Also for 100.00 you can find a Gen 2 Revo S.. Mike

Ok Thanks. Just wondering Mike

Anyone wear the "pro style" long sleeve shirts with the stand up collar and zippered front? If so where did you get it? I've allways worn the Columbia button down with the open ventilated flap but would like to try one of the "pro style". They look more comfortable. Thanks Mike

Hook goes thru the big oblong end. Flat side down. You can put the hook thru where that little nib is or behind it. Mike

Yep! I use Norman speed clips Mike

"If I was a Bass, I'd live here!!" "See Ya honey, I'm gonna go Rip Some Lip's" "That one had a mouth as big as a toilet bowl!!" Mike

Thanks Fellas: A local tackle shop down here has last years for 99.00. Looks like the extra 30.00 for this years may be worth it. Thanks Mike

Thats gone too...There is a 6' 6" Extreme and a LTB MHF left. Mike

I have last years "S" that I really really like. Do any of you guy's have one also? If you do, other than this years model being a little lighter, and the color [which I don't care about] what are the main differences in the 2? Thanks Mike
