For LM skirted jigs dominated for me. I gave them a go for river SM with limited success but also probably didn't give them a great shot with everyone around me catching fish on a tube.

Great job! Are you planning on hitting it as hard this year?

I have used red label in 8-15# for a few years without complaints. I recently bought some 20# Blue Label leader material for toothy fish and really liked it for ice fishing leaders. Will probably start using that more in the smaller spools.

After not seeing them on the website I sent a message. They are still in the demo phase but progressing. It is a hook tied with hair similar to a fly. No weight.

Sounds like a great time to throw a swim jig!

Lookslike a great time non the less!

Check out Hollywood Hair Jigs. They have a dropshot hair option that look great.

They look great! Love the stream of pink and chartreuse

As we begin the transition into fall I am tempted to "up size" the crankbaits that I generally throw on the river. I generally fish the DT6 and 1.5 for reference. While not necessarily going with a KVD 8.0 square bill what are some larger crankbaits that others would suggest?

Similar setup for me. I throw a lot of 3/16-1/4 jigs and spinnerbaits on a Medium casting rod with an every day reel.

I will generally carry 3 of the following MH casting, M casting, M spinning, and ML spinning. Depending on line type for the casting I can get multiple presentations out of 1 rod.

I might have to try this when the weather turns.

LM= 1/2 oz Black Buzz bait SM= 1/4 oz Spinnerbait

Get the brush jig pack and don't look back.

Try nose hooking as well. Nice thing about a fluke is you can run it on the surface or subsurface pretty easy
