I am looking to buy a looms NRX and have an option of 803 and 854. I am going to use it for a 1/2 oz jig and chatter bait most of the time and 7 inch power worms Which would you choose Thank yoy

McMaster has any kind of fiberglass or fr4 material you want. I would pick an fr4 because it hase smooth surface and does not have burrs. Also they sell it in different colors and sizes like 12x12 or 6x6

Thank you guys for all the cool info. As planned I went out this weekend and got to fish for 6 hours or so. It was a nice and pleasant day out with water temps going up to 47. Lots of fish in the 30 foot zone suspended but could not get them to bite. I was dangling a drop shot in their face and nothing. I got to try almost every item described in this post without any luck but I am starting to get a hang of some finesse techniques. My friend was with me also and he only tried plastics on 4# line, flick shake and drop shot all day without successes. Now back to reading and planning for next weekend

I think part of the problem is there is no shad in Oregon, main food is trout I think

Lots of good pointers, thank you guys for the suggestions. I am going out tomorrow and plan to slow down and use everything suggested here.

I have tried jerk bait fish over the grass( dives 5ft) with up to 30 sec pause. I catch a trout sometimes this way lol. Drop shot a senko 4 inch thin in lots of colors, shaky head with zoom trik worms, wacky rigged senko (3,4,and 5inch). Tried flick shake with jackal worms. Ripped a lipless crank in the grass. I have tried lots of stuff but I am getting some awesome pointers from you guys to improve

I am fishing Oregon costal lakes. The grass is there year round.i am fishing a channel bend that passes next to a point. The bank has reeds 5 feet into the water then drops off from 2ft to 20 feet.grass starts from the reeds all the way to about 10 ft and defined grass edge. I tried the edge for hours and nothing. Seems like the fish are coming from the grass area.

I have some at home I will give that a shot this weekend. As far as the jig goes I tried several different kind and it brings up all the nasty dead stuff with it. Based on the look of the grass I can't believe there are fish in there but was proven by the old man last week

It's clear (5 +) with grass floating around I used most of the items you describe but haven't used a c-rig, I am going to give that a try, do you know which plastic will float?

Where should I look, I can't find them anywhere else, I drove all over the lake and can't mark Any fish? Also a guy pulled 4 fish in the same area last week. Thank you

I fish a lake that has grass on the bottom which comes up maybe 2 feet from bottom. I think fish are dug in there during the cold months. Water is usually 8-10 feet deep and 45 degrees. What are some productive ways to fish this stuff

The pole is used to get the transducer, which is the Annan thing at the bottom end of the pole, into the water for kayak and such that don't have a transom

I see, the more complex units don't have that. They come with a transducer and a little bracket that attaches to the transom look at this link http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbo=d&site=&source=hp&q=transducer+install+pics&oq=transducer+install+pics&gs_l=mobile-gws-hp.12...1903.13367.0.15579.28.19.2.7.7.0.286.3578.1j7j11.19.0.les%3B..0.0...1ac.1.HOTlloMhrP4#miuv=8

What big pole, you may be mistaking a power pole or something. Transducer is a small 2-3 inch unit that has wire coming out of it. You install the transducer at the water line on the transom. Or some boats have it glued inside on the bottom. If you put it in the front you attach it on the bottom of the trolling motor. No poles involved. In the package you will get the screen, screen mount, transducer, power cable and mounting hardware. To make the unit easy to move from one boat to the other you will need to buy one more transducer (75$ maybe) and a power cable for the other boat. You will install a transducer on each boat and move just the unit from one boat to the next and plug the wires in

Every unit comes with transducer
