Hang tough Bro.. you can do this thing. You got to suffer some though, no way around it. I'm telling you, you CAN do it.

Taking a paycut?

The undead thread..

That thing sorta resembles my power hitter of the 70's..of course we didn't smoke fake anything..hehe.

Do I support my local bait & tackleshops? Nope.. BPS, cabelas ran them outta business. The two strongest held on for 2 years after BPS opened & ultimately closed doors.. I hate it too. Miss those places.

Here's a Russian boar.

It sorta looks like a hyena.

We're you able to see its tracks? I'm thinking no.

Strange looking indeed. Back leg is really different..nice job getting the pic up.

Still no pic there Bill..

Why isn't it? I've done it for twenty years. Only the last 7 years have I used 7:1 To be honest, I rather enjoy that torque when I'm punching with 1 1/2 ounce of tungsten. The reel needs to have a durable clutch above all else in my opinion, after that, it's mostly a line holder. I'm still curious why you won't advise it. Do tell..

Should be ideal for deep divers.. mid divers or shallow. Heck, you can flip and pitch with it too.

Welcome to the forums..

Always fun to battle!

Haha, I have yet to find a jig I can't hang up.

Wow! That's mind-boggling. That rivals American based company's in delivery. Cool..

That's nice. Sounds like incredible service too. Let us know how she works..

35 to 40 should about cover it.

I use a kalin grub & a 1/8 Oz jig head, I might bump the weight up a bit. A 4" to 6" ribbon tale works as well. Oh, don't forget a Senko..or a Tube bait.

Interesting comments thus far. I had one day trip with a red hook on the rear of a limetruese 1 Oz deep diver cb. I was fishing off my Cajun at the dam ( rip rap, chunk rock, banging that bait in 8' to 3' of water. I caught 15, 2 to 3 pound lmb the last hour of daylight. All were nailed by the trailing red hook..I haven't been able to duplicate the red hook theory since, but it mattered that day, at least I think..

As Denny Brauer would say, " man he thumped that jig! " I gotta tell ya, looking at that pic, I think I felt the strike too.. Good stuff.

Thoughts & prayers to the family..

How do you know the entire bottom composition? If you suspect their might be a drop, but haven't truly determined it, then what proof do you have their isn't hard bottom somewhere on the lake/pond bottom. A C-rig can help you to feel lots of structure types, as in gravel, chunk rock, sand, pea gravel, hydrilla, as well as any wood that may be in the area. The better you know the bottom contours & structure, the better your odds at making contact with fish..there could be some sweet spots out there. You need to learn this.

Try a light weight Carolina rig and learn the bottom contours & structure. A C-rig can tell you alot, as well as catch you fish.

Super nice..
