Switched my go to bait to a Jig. Been catching quality fish with it as well... not gonna change!
-
I use about 5 foot of braid on the bottom of the reel, then the rest fluoro. I am not sure why it works.. but once I did this i never had any problems. Maybe because the fluoro carbon doesnt get to tight around the bottom of the spool and cause problems while you cast? I really don't have that answer but after I put braid on the bottom of the spool i never had any backlashes.

Making a nice big order on TW as we speak!! Cannot wait to throw these jigs.. Do you guys recommend trimming the skirts? I have heard mixed reviews about this technique. Thanks, Nick

How much did you pay all together for this beauty... Man i'de love one of those. Anything beats off the shore fishing

When i first tried fluoro I absolutely hated it.. i mean really despised it.. After countless backspools a friend of mine told me to try tieing a 2-3 foot leader at the beginning of my spool with some braid.. I tried it out and havent looked back since. I use 12lb Berkley Vanish and i tell you it casts so smooth and so far and rarely backspool unless i make a mistake.

Sorry Jim, I've been working and haven't been able to check back with everyone.. Yes i know i should rush into it and theres no way i could put the proper investment into a decent boat. I am really passionate about fishing and the outdoors and it would be a great tool for me to enjoy what i do even more!! But looks like i will have to wait or look into a kayak for now.. .. Wishing i could hit the Lottery right about now!!!!

I've never been much of a hardbait fisherman and would like to expand my fishing arsenal.. What are some decent crankbaits or jerkbairs i can throw. I will probably stop by Dicks Sporting Goods after work today. Also, will it be a problem if i throw it on 12lb fluoro? One last thing, whats the best way to work them.. In open water? Cadences? Thank you ! Nick
-
What i do is put like 10-20 yards of braid on first so the fluoro doesnt dig into the spool.. I just tie my 12lb berkley vanish onto it and spool it up.. Havent had any problems yet. Like everyone else said.. Check ur guides etc. Best of luck.
-
I personally have never fished either of them but I fish with 12lb berkley vanish and havent had one problem yet despite the negative reviews.

Thank you guys !! Any advice for colors? I fish mainly rocky resevoiurs (Unfortunately OffShore).. I need something that won't snag up to easily on rocks and that will get the fish to smash it!! I try and do the best I can because I dont have the funds to purchase a boat. What is the best weight to use? 1/4 oz? I use a SkeetReese Football Head Rod (7'2) with a Shimano Caenan reel with 20 lb braid. What is the best way to fish a jig in a rez? Hop it off the bottom ? Sorry for all the questions I am new and looking to improve!! Thanks for everything, Nick.

Hey Uknown, I have the same exact problem as you.. im a full time college student working 30 hours a week with a girlfriend and bills to pay.. the budget is very tight for me as well and i know how frustrating it is to not have a boat.. Im ready to give up fishing cause i just cant stand offshore fishing anymore.. I am looking to spend a few hundred i have saved up over the last 6 months or so and pool some money with my brother and one of my buddies and see if we can purchase something for about 1,000. Nothing fancy.. i just need to get out on the water.. Every dollar i save goes to fishing (I Love To Fish). Where I am from the fishing is tough (Massachusetts) so any change i get to be out on the boat im willing to sacrifice for. Hang in there man, hopefully our luck will change one day!! Cheers, Nick.

Hello Everyone, I have quite the big dilemma.. With me only being 19 years old as a full time college student and dont have the most sufficient funds to buy a very nice bass boat by any means.. What would everyone suggest me to do so I am able to get out on the water (Sick of Off-Shore Fishing). How much is a decent Jon-Boat? I am an avid fisherman and I really want to increase my skills and fish from a boat.. Offshore fishing is either hit or miss where I live. (I am 20 minutes North of Boston). Please give me some ideas!! I hate kayak fishing because I won't be able to jig or anything. Give me some advice and feedback on what I should do.. Thank you everyone! Nick.
