I use #40 braid and a leader.

Siwash Hooks, Closed Eye http://www.gamakatsu.com/fishing-hooks.php?pid=1232

Take off the skirt on a 1/4 oz buzzbait and use a white belly frog - WOW

Lizards and brush hogs are great on that.

are you talking about All Star Rods or All Pro Rods?

Does anyone use these? Do they really surface float? What is your opinion on there quality? I also hear of soft plastics that float and when you get them rhe tail may rise but that's not floating. I need a few fully floating soft plastics.

Nice Job !!!

I live in Miami and I don't think the water ever reaches 55 degrees. It is January 13 today and the air temp is 80 degrees. So yes it is all relative.

Top water baits that walk Spinnerbaits work well They seem to really like blue also

I live in Miami so its lizards, lizards and oh did I mention lizards. Great in any shallow water - vegetation or not. lizards here tend to stay close to shore.

I use it all the time and get good results with just about any soft plastic - but lizards are the best. Living in Miami you can tie a lizard to a cinder block and catch fish, lol.

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't agree more. It is one of the MANY ploys.

It has removable racks so you can always take the center rack out if it doesn't fit. I am sure to can afford to take one rack out after all it holds 72 baits. If you have 72 spinnerbaits or buzzbaits you have more serious problems, LOL Very nice box.

Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver gets my vote - plus they make a small one and a wide one.

Split shots, swim jig trailers, drop shots and weighted swim hooks work GREAT !

I lived in NY for 46 years and this was a great bait there. Zoom Goby

Is this it?

You don't find the eye very tight? What brand hook?

What hook is everyone using for their homemade Jika Rigs? I find most hooks have too small of and eye to hold a split ring properly.

Here it is by owner and they come in 3/0 thru 5/0 but I don't want to pay for the additional hardware that it comes with it. https://www.ownerhooks.com/catalog/images/5198-5199.jpg

I only use braid. I use a leader most of the time but when flippin heavy vegetation I use straight braid.I have never had a problem it blends in with the weeds and stems. I don't believe fish can see the line anyway. I know many people who use it for everything even finesse.

I am looking for hooks like these. It has to be side eye. I have found many but none in 3/0 thru 5/0. Some call it a scud hook, it goes by many names. Any help is appreciated.

Are they special weights? If so does Moaner sell them?
